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).

Once you have plugged the appliance into the mains

socket, make sure the display is on (the FREEZER

COMPARTMENT knob must not be on Off).

Freezer compartment

When you turn the appliance on (by turning the

FREEZER and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob to the required

freezer compartment operating temperature), we

recommend you enable the SUPER FREEZE function to

speed up the cooling process inside the compartment;

when the latter has reached the optimal temperature, the

function will be disabled and you may place the frozen

foods inside the freezer.

Refrigerator compartment

When you turn the refrigerator compartment on (by

turning REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob to the

required refrigerator compartment operating

temperature), we recommend you enable the SUPER

COOL function to speed up the cooling process inside

the compartment: after a few hours, you may place food

inside the refrigerator.

A.I.R. SYSTEM

It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on

the top part of the refrigerator compartment (

see diagram

).

A

B

A.I.R. Systems 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

).

The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of

water, depending on whether the compressor is in

operation or whether it is paused.

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.

Using the display

Setting the temperature

If the compartment concerned is switched off, the word

OFF will appear on the relative indication space on the

display (REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

setting and

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

setting). If the compartment is

switched on, then the temperatures set at that time will

appear. To change them, turn the relative knob directly

(REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob and FREEZER

OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF

Knob).

The refrigerator compartment can be set to between

+2°C and +8°C, while the freezer compartment can be

set to a temperature of between -18°C and -26°C. The

temperature in both cases can be increased or

decreased by 1°C at a time.

When the HOLIDAY function is enabled, temperature

regulations cannot be made, but the appliance

automatically sets itself to the best setting for the

situation: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment (if

enabled) and -18°C for the freezer compartment.

Enabling/disabling the functions

Press the MODE button as many times as necessary for

the red outline of the function you wish to act on to light

up: this indicates that the function has been selected

and is ready to be enabled or disabled. Now you can

enable or disable the selected function using the

SELECT button.

!

 If you do not confirm your selection by pressing the

SELECT button within five seconds of the last action

performed on the display, the latter shall go back to

displaying the function previously set and indicate that

no new modification has been made.

The SUPER COOL function is linked to the refrigerator

compartment and when the latter is switched off, no action

whatsoever will be possible on the former, other functions

foresee an operation that can create conflicts (for example,

when the HOLIDAY and SUPER FREEZE functions are

enabled simultaneously), in this case a pre-set priority is

taken into consideration in order to help you operate the

appliance.

The SUPER FREEZE function features a double mode of

operation (see paragraph on operating the freezer

compartment).

Enabling/disabling the DEMO mode:

To run a demonstration of the display operation while

keeping the appliance turned off, just enable the DEMO

mode.

Enabling:

- set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF

Knob to 0ff;

- keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed for

approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer and

the two words “OFF” and “OFF” flash on the display;

these words will flash for the entire duration the DEMO

mode is enabled.

Disabling:

- set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF

Knob to 0ff;

- keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed for

approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer and

the two words “OFF” and “OFF” on the display stop

flashing.

Holiday function

To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not

necessary to switch the appliance off. The appliance has

a function which allows it to maintain the temperature of

the refrigerator compartment at approximately 15°C

(which can also be used to conserve make-up and

beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to

the minimum value in order to preserve the food.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust

the temperature (

see Description

).

• 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, the

internal temperature will rise slightly.  The 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,

not 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 humidity in the refrigerator and cause

condensation to form.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Use the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/

OFF Knob to adjust the temperature (

see Description

).

• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has

already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked

and eaten (within 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 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).

• To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):

- For small quantities, less than the maximum capacity

indicated on the data plate (situated on the lower left,

next to the salad crisper), enable the SUPER FREEZE

function on the display in the "24 hour" mode and insert

the food to be frozen. To enable the function, press the

MODE button as many times as necessary for the

SUPER FREEZE symbol to start flashing and then press

the SELECT button to enable the SUPER FREEZE

function. After 24 hours, or once the optimal

temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing

function is automatically disabled.

- For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the

maximum load indicated on the data plate situated on

the lower left, next to the salad crisper), enable the

SUPER FREEZE function on the display in the "48 hours"

mode: To enable the function, press the MODE button

as many times as necessary for the SUPER FREEZE

symbol to start flashing and then press the SELECT

button for more than three seconds to ensure the

function is enabled (symbol SUPER FREEZE function

starts to flash slowly). After 24 hours, the function

symbol will stop flashing and go back to being

permanently lit; you can now insert the food to be

frozen. After another 24 hours, the function will be

disabled automatically.

•  In order to create extra room inside the freezer

compartment, the drawers may be removed and the

food arranged in the resulting space.

!

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.

ICE PARTY:

 tensures bottles of

sparkling wine or champagne

reach the right temperature.

Place the bottle in the pre-frozen

ice bucket located inside the

FREEZER and STORAGE

compartment and select the

function on the display.

Remove the bottle when the alert is given.

The bucket may be used to serve the bottle, keeping it

cool after it has been removed from the appliance.
