GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE

NOTICE

After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the upright position and wait approximately 3 hours be- fore connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee that it operates properly.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda.

Motor protection delay

This model is provided with a motor protection control system. Therefore, if the compressor does not start immediately upon installation, do not worry as it will start automatically after approximately 8 minutes.

This is also what will happen every time the power supply is interrupted, both due to a power failure or should you switch it off yourself (to clean or defrost your freezer, for example).

After plugging the appliance into a suitable electricity socket, ensure the display is on with the “OFF” words in

the indication spaces concerning the two compartments (fridge and freezer).

Freezer compartment

When the appliance is switched on (by pressing the ON/ OFF button “A” for more than two seconds), the freezer compartment is automatically brought to the standard setting of - 18°C. We recommend you enable the SUPER FREEZE function to speed up the cooling process of the compartment; when the latter has reached its optimal temperature, the function shall be automatically disabled and you may place your frozen food inside the compartment.

Refrig ompartment

When the appliance is switched on, the refrigerator compartment is brought to the standard setting of + 5°C. We recommend you enable the SUPER COOL function to speed up the cooling process of the compartment: after a few hours, you may place food inside the refrigerator.

HOW TO USE THE DISPLAY

Firstly, take all the advice that appears in the form of scrolling text on the display: it will be of use to you, especially when you make your first settings.

Temperature settings:

If the appliance is switched off, the temperatures set at that time will appear in the indication spaces on the display concerning the refrigeration and freezer compartments (G for the refrigerator and H for the freezer). To change these, press the MODE (D) button as many times as necessary for the figure corresponding to the temperature set to flash in the relative indication space. Now you can select the new temperature to set by pressing the ADJUST/SELECT + (E) (to increase the temperature displayed by one degree) and/or ADJUST/SELECT - (F) (to decrease the temperature displayed by one degree) buttons. Once you have reached the desired temperature, you should set it by pressing the MODE (D) button again to confirm the selection. Now the new temperature will stop flashing and will remain fixed in the relevant indication space on the display to indicate that the new setting has been made. NOTE: if you do not confirm your selection by pressing the MODE button within ten seconds of the last action performed on the display, the latter shall go back to displaying the temperature previously in being and indicate that no new temperature has been set.

The temperatures set automatically are +5°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°Cfor the freezer compartment and these are the standard temperatures for food storage.

The settable temperatures for the refrigerator compartment range from +2°C to +8°C, whereas those for the freezer compartment range from -18°Cto -26°C. When the ECO function is enabled, the possible settings are instead closer

to the standard ones for food storage: from +4°C to +6°C for the refrigerator compartment and from -18°Cto -20°Cfor the freezer compartment. The possible increases and decrease are still of 1°C.

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 and -18°Cfor the freezer compartment.

How to use the functions:

ECO

Function symbol in normal operating conditions (only green symbol lit)

Function selected (green symbol and red outline lit)

Function enabled (green symbol and blue background lit)

To enable and disable the ECO function, just press the ECO button (B).

Press the MODE (D) 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.
