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 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 SUPER
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 “
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.
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 (
SUPER COOL, SUPER FREEZE, ICE
PARTY, 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.
When the
ICE PARTY
function has finished, press the
ICE PARTY
button to stop the corresponding LED from flashing and to silence
the sound alert. The flashing and sound alerts indicate that the
function is complete and that the bottle should be removed from
the freezer compartment.
Child Lock
To activate the Child Lock function, press and hold the Child Lock
button for 2 sI-CAREnds; the activation of this button lock is
confirmed by a short beep and the illumination of the corresponding
LED on the keypad. To deactivate the function, press and hold
the Child Lock button for 2 sI-CAREnds; deactivation will be
confirmed by a short beep and by the corresponding LED switching
off.
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.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never
hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the
level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to
form.
SHELVES:
with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height
is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large
containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete
removal of the shelf.
