GB Installation
!Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance.
!Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1.Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
2.Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly and save energy.
3.Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm between the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4.Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5.In order to maintain the correct distance between the appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in the installation kit, following the instructions provided.
Levelling
1.Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2.If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by tightening or loosening the front feet.
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following:
•The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
•The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
•The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side (e.g. 220- 240V).
•The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
!Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
!The cable must not be bent or compressed.
!The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
!The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.
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 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 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-CARELED 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, ICE PARTY, 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.
When the ICE PARTY function has finished, press the ICE PARTY button to stop the corresponding LED from flashing and to silence the sound alert. The flashing and sound alerts indicate that the function is complete and that the bottle should be removed from the freezer compartment.
Child Lock
To activate the Child Lock function, press and hold the Child Lock button for 2 seconds. the activation of this button lock is confirmed by a short beep and the illumination of the corresponding LED on the keypad. To deactivate the function, press and hold the Child Lock button for 2 seconds; deactivation will be confirmed by a short beep and by the corresponding LED switching off.
