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 display shows the text “SF”) 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 display shows the text “SC”) 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.

Cool Care Zone

When the appliance is switched on the variable

temperature compartment will be set to its default value of -12°C.

Setting the temperatures:

If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer displays 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. To be specific, each time one of the buttons is pressed the temperature is increased or decreased by 1°, and the number of illuminated horizontal bars 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, -120°C, -21°C, -22°C, -

24°C and -26°C.GB It is possible to select an operating temperature for the

Cool Care Zone compartment using the corresponding button; the temperatures are represented by the icons on the central part of the display (Ice Cream -12°C, Berries - 8°C, Alcohol -18°C). When the three icons are switched

off, it is operating as a normal freezer compartment. The temperatures are automatically set to +5°C for the

refrigerator compartment and -18°Cfor the freezer compartment (these are standard food storage values). The Cool Care Zone is automatically set to -12°C. When the “I Care” 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 “I Care” function at temperatures that are different to the standard storage values, the “I Care” 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 “AUTO”.

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, ICE PARTY, ICE CARE) 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 Ice Party function has finished, press the ICE PARTY button to stop the relevant LED from flashing. This

flashing indicates that the function is complete and that the bottle should be removed from the freezer compartment.

Child Lock

To enable the Child Lock function, the ALARM button must be pressed for 2 seconds; the button lock activation is confirmed by a short beep and the text “CH” “LO” appears on the refrigerator and freezer displays. This text is then replaced by the refrigerator and freezer temperatures set prior to when the child lock function was enabled.

To deactivate the function, press the ALARM button or 2 seconds; deactivation will be confirmed by a short beep and the text “CH” “LO” will appear on the refrigerator and freezer displays for 1 second.
