If possible, carry out defrosting when the compartment is nearly empty. • Remove the food from the low temperature compartment, wrap in a newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. • Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. • Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water and/or neutral detergent. • Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly. • Put the food back into the compartment. • Plug in the appliance once again. • Switch the appliance on. 13 “ZERO DEGREES” BOX (depending on the model) The "Zero Degrees" box is specifically designed to maintain a low temperature and a suitable humidity level, in order to keep foods fresher for longer (e. g. meat, fish, fruit and winter vegetables). Activating and deactivating the box The temperature inside the box, when active, is approximately 0°. To activate the compartment, press the button shown in the figure for more than 1 second, until the symbol lights up The symbol lit indicates that the compartment is functioning. Press the button again for more than 1 second to deactivate the compartment The following factors are vital for the "Zero Degrees" box to work properly: - the refrigerator compartment must be switched on - the temperature of the refrigerator compartment must be between +2°C and +6°C - the box must be inserted to enable activation - no special functions must have been selected (Standby, Cooling-Off, Vacation – where applicable). If one of these special functions has been selected, the "Zero Degrees" box must be deactivated manually, and any fresh food inside it removed. If manual deactivation does not take place, the box will be deactivated automatically after 8 hours. Note: - if the symbol does not light up when the box is activated, check that the box is properly inserted; if the problem persists, contact your nearest authorized After-sales Service - if the box is active and the drawer open, the symbol on the control panel may be deactivated automatically. If the drawer is inserted, the symbol will become active again - irrespective of the state of the box, a slight noise may be heard: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. - when the box is not active, the temperature inside it depends on the general temperature inside the refrigerator compartment. In this case, we recommend it is used to store fruit and vegetables which are not sensitive to cold temperatures (fruits of the forest, apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc. ). Important: If the function is activated and food with high water content is present, condensate may form on the shelves. In this case, temporarily deactivate the function. When placing small containers and food products on the top shelf of the "zero degrees" compartment, make sure they do not accidentally fall between the drawer and the back of the refrigerator compartment. 14 Removing the "Zero Degrees" box: The "Zero Degrees" box can be removed to create more space inside the refrigerator.
