Dairy products, cheese To maintain the vitamins, aroma, substance and freshness of the food to be stored, it is advisable to wrap food in aluminium foil, cling film or place it in special freezer containers with lids. Important Since appliance internal temperature is to all intents and purposes uniform thanks to the new ventilated system (Fig. 1), foods can be arranged on any shelf. Moisture controlled crispers Some foods, such as fruit and vegetables, lose moisture when stored in cold, dry places. The crisper drawer maintains the right temperature and moisture level for storing fruit and vegetables. Using the Control Device, it is possible to adjust the airflow inside the crisper drawer. • We recommend you keep the Control Device closed when storing vegetables and open when storing fruit. For this reason the refrigerator is equipped with a deodoriser that acts like a filter and eliminates the worry of storing strong odour savoury foods with more delicate sweet foods. 2 77 HOW TO OPERATE THE “EXTRA-COLD” COMPARTMENT (DEPENDING ON MODEL) The appliance is equipped with an “EXTRA-COLD” compartment This compartment maintains the temperature at 0°C, ensuring optimum storage of food without the need to freeze, and retaining the original freshness and nutritional properties. Please remember that correct storage of food also depends on the condition of food when purchased and on the packages used. Important Set the control knob to the intermediate position (med) for ambient temperatures between 20°C and 25°C. The temperature inside this compartment can be adjusted from coldest (max) to least cold (min), by turning the control knob located at the rear of the compartment to the required position. Set the knob to “OPTION” to achieve the same temperature as the rest of the refrigerator. 78 HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT The freezer compartment, marked with the symbol, can be used for freezing fresh and cooked food, making ice cubes and storing frozen food.
