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 compartment concerned is switched off, the word OFF will appear on the appropriate space on the display (G for the refrigerator and H for the freezer). If the compartment is switched on, then the temperature set at that time will appear. To change it, press the MODE (D) button as many times as necessary for the figure corresponding to the temperature set to flash in the appropriate space. Now you can select the new temperature by pressing the ADJUST/SELECT +

(E)(to increase the temperature displayed by one degree each time it is pressed) and/or ADJUST/SELECT - (F) (to decrease the temperature displayed by one degree each time it is pressed) 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 appropriate 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 (D) button within ten seconds of the last action performed, the display will go back to show the previous temperature and indicate that no new temperature has been set.

The temperatures pre-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 and range from -18°Cto -26°Cfor the freezer compartment.

- When the ECO function is selected, 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.

- When the HOLIDAY function is selected, the appliance automatically sets itself to the best setting for the situation: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment (if selected) 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)

Press the MODE (D) button as many times as necessary for the red outline of the function you wish to select/deselect to light up and the words to appear on the display. This indicates that the function has been selected and is ready to be enabled or disabled. Now you can change the function using the ADJUST/SELECT + (E) (to enable it ON) and/or ADJUST/SELECT - (F) (to disable it OFF) buttons. To confirm the setting chosen for the function, press the MODE

(D)button again. The red outline will come off to indicate the conclusion of operations on this function: if the function has been enabled, not only the green symbol lights up, but also the blue background, whereas if it has been disabled, the blue background will also come off and only the green symbol will stay lit.

NOTE: If you do not confirm your selection by pressing the MODE (D) button within ten seconds, the display will go back to show the function previously set and indicate that no new modification has been made.

SUPER COOL and HOLIDAY functions are linked to the refrigerator compartment and when it is switched off, these functions cannot be used.
