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
ON/OFF
button is
pressed for more than two seconds) the freezer
compartment is set to its default value of
-18°C
. We
recommend that the
SUPER FREEZE
function is set (the
freezer display shows the text “SF”) 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 display shows the text “SC”) 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.
Cool Care Zone
When the appliance is switched on the variable
temperature compartment will be set to its default value of
-
12°C
.
Navigating the display
Setting the temperatures:
If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer
displays will indicate the temperatures 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. To be specific, each time one
of the buttons is pressed the temperature is increased or
decreased by 1°, and the number of illuminated horizontal
bars 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, -120°C, -
21°C, -22°C, -24°C and -26°C.
It is possible to select an operating temperature for the
Cool Care Zone
compartment using the corresponding
button; the temperatures are represented by the icons on
the central part of the display (Ice Cream -12°C, Berries -
8°C, Alcohol -18°C). When the three icons are switched off,
it is operating as a normal freezer compartment.
The temperatures are automatically set to
+5°C
for the
refrigerator compartment and
-18°C
for the freezer
compartment (these are standard food storage values). The
Cool Care Zone is automatically set to -12°C.
When the “
I Care
” function is active, the appliance
automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the
conditions inside and outside the refrigerator; the operation
of this function is signalled by the text “AUTO”.
Whenever it is necessary to activate the “
I Care
” function
at temperatures that are different to the standard storage
values, the “
I Care
” button must be pressed as soon as the
function is activated and held down while the new
temperatures are set using the + and - buttons. Under
these conditions, the temperatures may be set to 4°C, 5°C
and 6°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C, -19°C
and -20°C for the freezer compartment.
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. This function is
indicated by the text “AUTO”.
To activate and deactivate the functions simply press the
relevant button and the function status will be signalled by
the corresponding LED switching on or off.
Several functions (
SUPER COOL, SUPER FREEZE, ICE
PARTY, ICE CARE
) are incompatible with others
(
HOLIDAY
,...); remember that there is a pre-set order of
priority which will help you to use the product in the best
possible way.
When the
Ice Party
function has finished, press the
ICE
PARTY
button to stop the relevant LED from flashing. This
flashing indicates that the function is complete and that the
bottle should be removed from the freezer compartment.
Child Lock
To enable the Child Lock function, the ALARM button must
be pressed for 2 seconds; the button lock activation is
confirmed by a short beep and the text “CH” “LO” appears
on the refrigerator and freezer displays. This text is then
replaced by the refrigerator and freezer temperatures set
prior to when the child lock function was enabled.
To deactivate the function, press the ALARM button or 2
seconds; deactivation will be confirmed by a short beep
