Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
!Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions (see Installation).
!Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.
!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).
Once you have plugged the appliance into the mains socket, make sure the display is on (the FREEZER COMPARTMENT knob must not be on Off).
Freezer compartment
When you turn the appliance on (by turning the FREEZER and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob to the required freezer compartment operating temperature), we recommend you enable the SUPER FREEZE function to speed up the cooling process inside the compartment; when the latter has reached the optimal temperature, the function will be disabled and you may place the frozen foods inside the freezer.
Refrigerator compartment
When you turn the refrigerator compartment on (by turning REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob to the required refrigerator compartment operating temperature), we recommend you enable the SUPER COOL function to speed up the cooling process inside the compartment: after a few hours, you may place food inside the refrigerator.
A.I.R. SYSTEM
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).
B |
A |
A.I.R. Systems maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been opened. The blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).
The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of
water, depending on whether the compressor is in GB operation or whether it is paused.
SHELVES: with or without grill. Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf.
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
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
