Using the display

Setting the temperature

If the compartment concerned is switched off, the word OFF will appear on the relative indication space on the display (REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT setting and FREEZER COMPARTMENT setting). If the compartment is switched on, then the temperatures set at that time will appear. To change them, turn the relative knob directly (REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob and FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob).

The refrigerator compartment can be set to between +2°C and +8°C, while the freezer compartment can be set to a temperature of between -18°C and -26°C. The temperature in both cases can be increased or decreased by 1°C at a time.

When the HOLIDAY function is enabled, temperature regulations cannot be made, but the appliance automatically sets itself to the best setting for the situation: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment (if enabled) and -18°C for the freezer compartment.

Function status

Function symbol during normal operation

Function selected (outline flashing)

Function enabled (outline on)

Enabling/disabling the functions

Press the MODE button as many times as necessary for the red outline of the function you wish to act on to light up: this indicates that the function has been selected and is ready to be enabled or disabled. Now you can enable or disable the selected function using the SELECT button.

!If you do not confirm your selection by pressing the SELECT button within five seconds of the last action performed on the display, the latter shall go back to displaying the function previously set and indicate that no new modification has been made.

The SUPER COOL function is linked to the refrigerator compartment and when the latter is switched off, no action whatsoever will be possible on the former, other functions foresee an operation that can create conflicts (for example, when the HOLIDAY and SUPER FREEZE functions are enabled simultaneously), in this case a pre-set priority is taken into consideration in order to help you operate the appliance.

!The SUPER FREEZE function features a double mode of operation (see paragraph on operating the freezer compartment).

Enabling/disabling the DEMO mode:

To run a demonstration of the display operation while keeping the appliance turned off, just enable the DEMO mode.

Enabling:

-set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/ OFF Knob to 0ff;

-keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed for approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer and the two words “OFF” and “OFF” flash on the display; these words will flash for the entire duration the DEMO mode is enabled.

Disabling:

-set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/ OFF Knob to 0ff;

-keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed for approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer and the two words “OFF” and “OFF” on the display stop flashing.

Holiday function

To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not necessary to switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function which allows it to maintain the temperature of the refrigerator compartment at approximately 15°C (which can also be used to conserve make-up and beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to the minimum value in order to preserve the food.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

•Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description).

•Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge, the internal temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.

•Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).

•Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.

•Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
