• FOOD CARE ZONE 0 °C / SAFE DEFROST 
  A compartment designed to keep delicate food such as meat and fish fresh. The low temperature in the compartment makes it possible to store the food for up to one week – tests performed on meat products – without changing its nutrients, appearance and flavor. The compartment is also very suitable for healthy food defrosting, as low-temperature defrosting prevents any proliferation of microorganisms while protecting its taste and organoleptic properties. It is not suitable for fruit, vegetables and green salad. But it can be used for stuffed fresh pasta and even cooked food or leftovers.
• TEMPERATURE INDICATOR 
  The temperature indicator informs you if the temperature in this cavity is cold enough for storage with the word “OK”. 1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see the picture below).
• SHELVES *
  Due to the special guides, the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large containers and food.
• FRUIT AND VEGETABLE BIN *

Open the humidity regulator (position B)if you want to store food in a less humid environment like fruit, or close it (position A) to store food in a more humidb environment like vegetable.

HOW TO STORE FOOD

FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass containers and cling film to wrap foods. Always use closed containers for liquids and for food that may give off or betainted by odor or flavor transfer or cover them. If you have a little quantity of food tostore in the refrigerator, we recommend using the shelves above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the coolest area of the compartment. Foods that give off a large amount ethylene gas and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit, vegetables and salad, should always be separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for example do not store tomatoes together with kiwi fruits or cabbage. To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle holder (available onselected models). Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient air circulation.
