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 “
ECO
” 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
ECO
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,
ECO
) 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 seconds; 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 seconds; 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
• 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.
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.
