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. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the
appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm between
the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct
sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the appliance
and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in the installation
kit, following the instructions provided.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by
tightening or loosening the front feet.
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
!
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 freezer compartment is
set to its default value of -18°C. We recommend that the QUICK
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.
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°, -19°,-
20°, -21°, -22°, -23°,-24°,-25°, -26°. When the “
I-CARE
” function
is active, the appliance automatically adjusts the temperatures
according to the conditions inside and outside the refrigerator, in
order to minimise the amount of energy consumed; the activation
of this function is signalled by the
I-CARE
LED on the keypad
lighting up.
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.
Two minutes after the most recent user interaction, the display
enters its energy saving mode.To exit the energy saving mode,
simply press any button or open the refrigerator door.
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 (
, QUICK FREEZE, I-CARE
) 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.
Chiller system
No Frost
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains
an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the
original quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking
together and making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block
the aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct contact
with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles and wrap food
tightly.
