The “Zero Degrees” compartment is specifically designed to
maintain a low temperature and the correct humidity to preserve
fresh food for longer (for example, meat, fish, fruits and winter
vegetables).
Turning on and turning off the compartment
The internal temperature of the compartment is approximately 0° when the compartment is turned on.
To turn on the compartment, press the button
shown in the figure for more than one second
until the symbol lights up.
The lit symbol means that the compartment is
working. Press the button again for more than
one second to turn off the compartment.
To turn off the compartment completely, you must remove the drawer.
For the correct functioning of the “Zero Degrees” compartment, it is necessary that:
- the refrigerator compartment is turned on
- the temperature is between +2°C and +6°C
- the drawer in the “Zero Degrees” compartment must be inserted for it to be turned on
- one of the following special functions is not selected: Stand-by, Cooling-Off, Vacation (if present), in this
case, remove the food contained in it.
Note:
- if the symbol does not light up when you turn on the compartment, check that the drawer is properly
inserted; if the problem persists contact the authorised Technical Assistance Service.
- if the compartment is turned on and the drawer is open, the symbol in the control panel may
automatically turn off. The symbol will light up again when the drawer is inserted
- regardless of the state of the compartment, you may hear a faint noise, which you should consider as
normal
- when the compartment is not in operation, the temperature inside it depends on the general temperature of
the refrigerator compartment. In this case, it is advised that fruits and vegetables that are not sensitive to
cold (berries, apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.) are stored in it.
Important: if the compartment is turned on and food with a high water content is present, condensation
may form on the shelves. In this case, turn the function off temporarily.
Be careful when positioning food and containers that are small in size on the upper shelf of the “Zero
Degrees” compartment in order to prevent them accidentally falling between the shelf and the back wall of
the refrigerator compartment.
