Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

!After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it in an upright position and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains, to make sure it operates as it should.

• Clean the inside of the refrigerator well using warm water and bicarbonate of soda before placing food inside it.

• The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).

Freezer compartment

The first time the product is switched on, after you have selected the desired temperature, we recommend the SUPER FREEZE function is activated in order to cool the compartment as quickly as possible. Food should only be placed in the compartment once the SUPER FREEZE function has finished its cycle.

Navigating the display

Setting the temperatures:

If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer compartment displays will indicate the temperature values set at that moment. To change them, simply press the - and + buttons corresponding to the compartment for which you wish to change the set temperature. More specifically, each time the buttons are pressed, the temperature increases or decreases and the level of cold generated inside the compartment is adjusted accordingly. The temperature values that may be selected for the refrigerator compartment are +8°C, +7°C, +6°C, +5°C, +4°C, +3°C and +2°C, while the values that may be set for the freezer are -18°C, -19°C, -20°C, -21°C, -22°C, -24°C and -26°C.

When the “I CARE” function is active, the appliance automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the conditions inside and outside the refrigerator, in order to minimise the amount of energy consumed; the activation of this function is signalled by the I CARE LED on the keypad lighting up.

When the HOLIDAY function is active the temperature may not be adjusted, however the appliance adjusts itself automatically so that the optimal settings for the situation are used: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°Cfor the freezer compartment. The activation of this function is indicated by the HOLIDAY LED lighting up.

To activate and deactivate the functions, simply press the relevant button; the function status will be signalled by the corresponding LED on the keypad switching on or off.

Several of the functions (SUPER COOL, SUPER FREEZE, I CARE) are incompatible with others (HOLIDAY,...); remember that there is a pre-established order of priority which will help you to operate the product in the best possible way.

The temperature inside this compartment may be set using the COOL CARE ZONE button. The temperature values that may be selected are -8°C, -12°C, -18°C; these values are indicated by the icons on the display. If the COOL CARE ZONE operating mode has not been activated, the compartment operates as a normal freezer compartment.
