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.Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct
sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
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
!
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).
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 SPEED
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
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°C
for 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 (
SPEED COOL, SUPER FREEZE ) 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.
AIR *
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the
top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).
A
B
AIR
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).
ACTIVE OXYGEN *
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator;
ozone is a natural substance which combats bacteria and
microorganisms, reducing their proliferation while limiting
unpleasant odours.
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging
the freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing
bacteria build-up.
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator.
The very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm,
due to the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts
