DAILY USE
Movable shelves

To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required.
0°C Compartment
In the 0^ C compartment the temperature is controlled automatically. It stays constantly at about 0^ C, no adjustment is necessary. The constant storage temperature of about 0^ C and the relative humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of food.
Important!
You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the 0°C compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better quality compared to normal refrigerator compartments. This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness, quality and nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well preserved. Loss of weight in vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields a higher degree of nutritional value.
Important!
The 0°C compartment is also suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days.
Humidity control
text_image
~ 0°C Vita SafeBoth drawers can be used according to the desired storage conditions independently of each other with lower or higher humidity. Regulation for each drawer is separate and is controlled using the slide valve at the front of the drawer.
- „Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % relative humidity This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this position ⬆ and the ventilation openings are wide open.
- Humid": high relative humidity - up to 90% This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this position ⬆ and the ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept and can not escape.
1) The riper the fruit, the shorter the storage time
Storage time in the 0°C compartment for fresh food
 | ||
| Type of food Air humidity adjustment Storage time | ||
| Plums 1) rhubarb, gooseberries | “humid” | up to 21 days |
| Apples (not sensitive to cold), quinces | “humid” | up to 20 days |
| Apricots, cherries | “humid” | up to 14 days |
| Damsons, grapes | “humid” | up to 10 days |
| Blackberries, currants | “humid” | up to 8 days |
| Figs (fresh) | “humid” | up to 7 days |
| Blueberries, raspberries | “humid” | up to 5 days |
Important!
Cakes containing cream and other kinds of pastry products can be stored in the 0°C compartment for 2 or 3 days.
Important!
Not to be placed in the 0°C compartment:
- cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room temperature like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.
- The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the refrigerator compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.)
Important!
The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening The 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the 0°C compartment for up to two days.
Tips:
- Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. Quality and freshness influence the storage time.
- The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation conditions made prior to the final storage in the fridge.
- Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up before storage.
- Animal food always store packed and dry.
- Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a 0°C compartment storage time for that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.
- All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly 15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room temperature will improve the texture and flavour.
Drawer

natural_image
Two black symbols: a solid circle and a warning sign with exclamation mark (no text or labels)The wire shelves inside the drawers permit that air can circulate freely and consequently a better conservation of foods.
The compartment has stops to prevent the drawers from falling out when fully extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning purposes), pull them out as far as the stops, lift and extract.
Important! This appliance is sold in France.
In accordance with regulations valid in this country it must be provided with a special device (see figure) placed in the lower compartment of the fridge to indicate the coldest zone of it.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Hints for energy saving
- Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
- If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
- do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
- do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
- position foods so that air can circulate as much air as possible.
freely around it
an circulate as much air as possible.
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruits and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided. When in contact, lemon juice can discolor the plastic parts of your fridge. It is therefore recommended to keep citruses in separate containers.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude
Bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
CARE AND CLEANING
Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and re-charging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
- clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
- regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
- rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet. Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odor.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.
The lowest shelf, dividing the cooler compartment from the 0^ C compartment can be removed only for cleaning. To remove pull out the shelf straight.
The cover plates above the drawers in the compartment can be taken out for cleaning.
Important!
To make sure fully functionality of the 0^ C compartment the lowest shelf and cover
WHAT TO DO IF...
Warning! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
plates must be put back in their original position after cleaning.
Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Defrosting of the fridge compartment is automatic.
The water that forms flows into a recipient on the compressor and evaporates. This recipient cannot be removed.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
- disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
- remove all food
- defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance and all accessories
- leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.
Important! There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation).
