Switching off
The appliance is shut off by holding down key (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 (B) also goes
off.
Activation of functions
Each time key C is pressed, the following functions are
activated in a clockwise direction:
Symbol 4 : rapid freezing function.
No Symbol: Normal operation
Operation
After plugging the plug into the power outlet, if the
display is not illuminated, press key (A), appliance on.
As soon as the appliance is turned on, the following
signals will appear on the control panel:
•
symbol (2) will be positive, indicating that the
temperature is positive.
Place the freezer thermostat control knob (D) in a
middle position, and the appliance will be set up to
provide the following temperature:
r5°C in the refrigerator.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
•
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator;
•
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
•
Position food so that air can circulate freely round
it.
Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) or reduced (colder) by rotating the
thermostat knob clockwise.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:
•
room temperature;
•
how often the door is opened;
•
the quantity of food stored;
•
location of appliance.
We suggest placing the knob in the middle position to
obtain an internal temperature of approxi5° C.
Important
If the ambient temperature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to form on the rear
wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher
temperature to allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consumption.
Use of the fridge compartment
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 key C
(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 key C (see paragraph "Function Activation").
Door open acoustic alarm
An acoustic alarm will sound when the door is left
open for around 5 minutes.
The door open alarm conditions are indicated by:
- flashing symbol (1);
- red display illumination;
- beeping sound.
Press the button (C) to stop the acoustic alarm.
When normal conditions are restored (door closed):
- the acoustic alarm will stop.
