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 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 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,-23°C, -24°C -
25°C,and -26°C. If SUPER COOL function is activated, Fridge
temperature cannot be modified. If SUPER FREEZE functions is
activated, Freezer temperature cannot be modified.
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:
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and
the height is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large containers
and food.
TEMPERATURE
Indicator light
*
: to identify the coldest area in the
refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (
see diagram
).
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is
too high: set a lower temperature and wait approximately 10 hours
until the temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if
the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for
the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting
the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate
the SUPER FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food
in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER
FREEZE function again; it will be deactivated automatically after
24 hours.
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with
food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored
in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the
temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are
corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could
break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated
on the plate containing the technical properties located on the
bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/
24h: 4).
!
Do not open the door during freezing.
!
If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door.
This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring
that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
!
to avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment,
it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or
containers.
