Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation instructions
(see Installation).
!
Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and
accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate.
! 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
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 ) 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.
AIR *
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the
top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).
A
B
AIR maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the
evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside
the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been
opened. The blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact
with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see
diagram).
ACTIVE OXYGEN *
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator;
ozone is a natural substance which combats bacteria and
microorganisms, reducing their proliferation while limiting
unpleasant odours.
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging
the freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing
bacteria build-up.
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator.
The very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm,
due to the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts
is released; this is completely normal. The amount produced by
the device is very small and abates quickly as the antibacterial
action takes place.
Device is activated pressing the dedicated key on the dashboard.
With the Active Oxigen switched on, the device will operate
a repeted cycle until the key is pressed again. There will be
an Ozone emission noticed by the switching on of the green
led located on the Active Oxigen device located in the fridge
compartment and a stand-by cicle (without zone emission) noticed
by blue light.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the temperature
quickly, for example, when you place a large number of new food
items inside a fridge and the internal temperature rises slightly.
This function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing
the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
• 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.
