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 “ECO” 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 ECO LED 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, ECO) 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.
*Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain models.
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.
Chiller system
No Frost
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking together and making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
•Adjust the temperature using the display.
•Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the temperature quickly, for example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge and the internal temperature rises slightly. This function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
•Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
•Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
•Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
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.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the
refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).
