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

When the product is switched on (the ON/OFF button is pressed for more than two seconds) the freezer compartment is set to its default value of -18°C. We recommend that the SUPER FREEZE function is set (the freezer status bar continues to display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the compartment; when the inside of the compartment has reached its optimal temperature the function will be deactivated and the food may be placed inside.

Refrigerator Compartment

When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator compartment is set to its default value of +5°C. We recommend that the SUPER COOL function is set (the refrigerator status bar continues to display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the compartment. After a few hours it will be cool enough for food to be placed inside.

Navigating the display

Setting the temperatures:

If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer status bars will indicate the temperatures 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 one of the buttons is pressed the temperature is increased or decreased by 1°, and the level of cold is adjusted accordingly.The temperature values that may be selected for the refrigerator compartment are +12°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, -120°C, -21°C, -22°C, -24°C and -26°C.

The temperatures are automatically set to +5°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°Cfor the freezer compartment (these are standard food storage values. When the “ECO” function is active, the appliance automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the conditions inside and outside the refrigerator; the operation of this function is signalled by the text “AUTO”.

Whenever it is necessary to activate the “ECO” function at temperatures that are different to the standard storage values, the “ECO” button must be pressed as soon as the function is activated and held down while the new temperatures are set using the - and + buttons. Under these conditions, the temperatures may be set to 4°C, 5°C and 6°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C, -19°C and -20°C for the freezer compartment.

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°C for the freezer compartment. This function is indicated by the text.

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

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

When the BOTTLE CHILL function has finished, press the BOTTLE CHILL button to stop the corresponding LED from flashing and to silence the sound signal. This flashing and sound signal indicates that the function is complete and that the bottle should be removed from the freezer compartment.
