Use of the fridge compartment

Setting the temperature

The temperature within the appliance is controlled by the thermostat control knob situated at the top of the appliance.

The temperature of this compartment may be regulated by rotating the knob (F), and may vary between more or less +2°C and +8°C.

When the knob is rotated, the display flashes and indicates the set temperature. After having set the desired temperature, if the knob is not rotated within 5 seconds, the temperature of the freezer compartment will be indicated.

To operate the appliance proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control beyond the «O» position.

Position ● = minimum coldness

Position ● = maximum coldness

Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.

The intermediate position is usually the most suitable.

The thermostat setting can vary as the temperature inside the appliance depends on the following factors:

–room temperature

–how often the door is opened

–how much food is stored

–position of the appliance

To shut off the refrigerator compartment, rotate the knob (F) anticlockwise till position "O". In this position the word "OF" is indicated for 5 seconds. The freezer compartment will keep on working.

We suggest placing the knob in the middle position to obtain an internal temperature of approximately +5° C.

Once the refrigerator compartment is shut off, the only temperature which is indicated is that of the freezer compartment.

Activation of functions

Each time button E is pressed, the following functions are activated in a clockwise direction:

Symbol 5 : fast freeze function

Symbol 6 : shopping function

No Symbol: Normal operation

Not more than one function can be activated at a time; to de-activate the functions, press the button several times until no icon appears.

Switching off

The appliance is shut off by pressing button (A) for more than 1 second. After this, a countdown of the temperature from -3 -2 -1 will be shown.

When the appliance is shut off, display (D) also goes off.

In this condition, the function shopping cannot be activated, and the lighting in the refrigerator compartment will be switched off.

Important: If the fridge compartment is off, the door must be closed in order that the freezer is working properly .

In this condition, the electronic control of the appliance functions automatically and periodically circulating the air to prevent unpleasant smells and humidity .

Shopping Function

If you need to insert a large amount of warm food, for example after doing the grocery shopping, we suggest activating the Shopping function to chill the products more rapidly and to avoid warming the other food which is already in the refrigerator and/or freezer.

The shopping function is activated by pressing button E (several times if necessary) until the corresponding

icon appears

The shopping function shuts off automatically after approximately 6 hours.

It is possible to de-activate the function at any time by pressing button E (see paragraph "Function Activation").

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance, do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator; cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation.
