[. . . ] Just above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated. The food may now be moved into the two lower compartments (so that the Cool Care Zone can be used if necessary) or even left in the Cool Care Zone compartment, which operates as a normal storage compartment when the function has not been activated. If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. Cool Care Zone The Cool Care Zone is a special compartment in the freezer which allows the user to choose between 4 different operating modes that may be set according to specific requirements and the type of food stored inside. The temperature settings that may be selected are -8°C, -12°C and -18°C, indicated by the icons depicting a strawberry, an ice cream and a bottle on the control panel (FREEZER OPERATION Knob ). The Cool Care Zone is equipped with controls that may be operated independently from the other compartments inside the freezer, by the Cool Care Zone may also be deactivated using the control panel, so that it can then be used as a normal freezer compartment. Using the freezer to its full potential • Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description). € Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours). € Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing. € Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. € The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4). € The Cool Care Zone is a compartment that allows several types of food to be frozen at the most suitable temperature (ice cream and alcoholic drinks); the other two storage compartments (see overall view) are designed to store frozen foods under normal conditions. To freeze (if the freezer is already operating) deactivate the Cool Care Zone and empty it, press the rapid-freezing SUPER FREEZE button (the corresponding LED lights up), place the food inside and close the door. The function is disabled automatically after 24 hours or when the optimal temperatures have been reached (LED switches off). 18 ICE CARE tray The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided). Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray). [. . . ] C) The temperature in the freezer has reached a dangerous level. B/c) In both these cases the freezer will maintain a temperature of about 0°C so that the food does not re-freeze. To turn off the acoustic signal open and close the refrigerator door. To restore normal operation bring the FREEZER OPERATION knob setting to (off) and turn the appliance on again. [. . . ]
