Freezer temperature alarm
If the alarm sounds for no apparent
reason, check whether anything is
keeping the door open. If the freezer
becomes too warm due to the freezer door being left open
or warm food being placed too close to the temperature
sensor, a buzzer will sound.
The icon adjacent to the alarm reset button, the freezer set
temperature and bar graph will all flash, until the alarm
reset button is pressed. Once pressed, the alarm disable
icon adjacent to the alarm button will illuminate for 50
minutes, or until the temperature drops to an acceptable
level.
Make sure nothing is holding the freezer door open and
move any warm food away from the temperature sensor. If
the freezer is still too warm after 50 minutes, the alarm will
sound again, indicating that something may be wrong with
the refrigerator.
NOTE:
The freezer temperature alarm can be reset for 12 hours by
pressing the alarm reset button continuously for 10 seconds.
Door alarm
If the fridge door is left open for more
than two minutes, the alarm will buzz and
an arrow pointing to an open door will flash, along with
the temperature setting and bar graph.
If you want to leave the door open while you load the
refrigerator, you can turn the alarm off for 8 minutes by
pressing the alarm reset button.
CHILD LOCK
Press and hold the
freezer and fridge buttons
together to activate
the child lock. This will
disable the display to
prevent accidental changes to settings.
To turn the child lock off, press and hold
the freezer and fridge buttons together.
Drinks chill timer
The drinks chill timer is used to quickly
chill a bottle. Place the bottle in the
freezer and the timer can be set for a
minimum of 5 minutes to a maximum of 30 minutes. To set,
simply press the drinks chill button repeatedly for the number
of minutes (in 5-minute intervals). Once set, an animated
icon appears beside the drinks chill button, with a timer that
counts down one minute at a time.
You can change the time or turn the timer off even after the
countdown has started. A buzzer will tell you when the time
is finished and the icon will flash until the alarm reset button
is pressed.
If your drink is not cold enough, reset the drinks chill
function (remembering the drink is already partially chilled).

The LCD panel has a blue
backlight and 6 touch
buttons. It also contains an
infrared light sensor, which
turns the lights in the fresh
food section on and off.
When the power is first
turned on, you will see the
default settings, with the
backlighting on.
Controlling the temperature
The default temperature for the refrigerator is 3°C
and -18°C for the freezer. If you want to change the
temperature, follow the instructions below. Make only
small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it’s correct.
Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication
if your freezer is the right temperature, while checking the
temperature of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way
of checking the temperature of the food compartment.
NOTE:
When you set a temperature, you set an average
temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet. Temperatures
inside each compartment may vary, depending on how
much food you store and where you place it. High or low
room temperature may also affect the actual temperature
inside the refrigerator.
Changing the freezer temperature
Press the freezer button to make the
freezer colder in 1°C steps. Once the
maximum of -23°C is reached, the
display will return to -14°C with the next
press of the button. The bar graph gets smaller with colder
freezer settings.
Changing the refrigerator temperature
Press the fridge button to make the
refrigerator colder in 1°C steps. Once
0°C is reached, the display will return to
7°C with the next button press. The bar graph gets smaller
with colder refrigerator settings.
Quick freeze function
Use the quick freeze function when
you add a large amount of food to the
freezer compartment. This freezes the food quickly but does
not affect the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
To use this function, press the quick freeze button once. An
animated icon will light up. The quick freeze function will
now operate for 90 minutes. If you want to turn the quick
freeze function off before 90 minutes have passed, simply
press the quick freeze button again. The icon will disappear
and the freezer will return to normal operation.

ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
NOTE:
Opening the freezer door won’t effect the operation of
either Eco or Holiday modes.
Eco and Holiday Modes minimise defrosting to save
energy, while maintaining your temperature settings.
Suggested chilling times:
• 10 minutes for cans of drink
• 20 minutes for bottles of wine
• 30 minutes for bottles of soft drink.
CAUTION
Care should be taken to ensure bottles are not left in freezer
for longer periods as freezing and breakage could occur.
Energy efficiency
Your refrigerator has been designed to be energy-efficient
and can operate in three modes: Normal, Eco and
Holiday.
Normal mode
Normal mode is used when the
refrigerator door is often opened. It’s the
default mode of your refrigerator.
Eco mode
Eco mode can be used if you don’t open
your refrigerator door a lot. It is activated
in one of two ways:
– by manually pressing the eco/holiday button once when
in normal mode, or,
– by automatically activates after 30 hours if the refrigerator
door has not been opened.
The leaf icon will appear on the electronic display when
eco mode is on. If eco mode is activated automatically, the
refrigerator will revert to normal mode once the refrigerator
door is opened.
If eco mode is entered manually, opening the door will not
revert it back to normal mode. To exit eco mode, simply
press the eco/holiday button until the word “normal” is
displayed.
Use Eco mode when you’re not using the refrigerator all
the time (eg. as a long-term storage refrigerator). If the door
is going to be opened a lot, switch back to normal mode.
Remember, if eco mode is turned on manually, it won’t
switch off automatically.
Holiday mod
e
Use this button when you go on holiday
or leave the house for long periods.
The refrigerator minimises defrosting to save energy but
maintains your temperature settings. To put the refrigerator
into holiday mode, press the eco/holiday mode button
until the aeroplane icon appears. The holiday mode will
operate until the button is pressed again or the refrigerator
door is opened.
