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).
1. Insert the plug into the socket and switch on the product using
the appropriate button, ensure that yellow refrigerator and
freezer temperature lights illuminates
2. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator.
3. Press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the SUPER
FREEZE indicator light will illuminate. Once the refrigerator has
reached the optimal temperature, the indicator light goes out
and you can begin food storage.
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.
Cooling 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.
COMPARTMENT 3 IN 1 ZONE*
This is the new box which offers maximum flexibility in order to
stock your food in an excellent way.
-store meat, fish and delicate food;
-rapid cooling of hot food from 70°C to 3°C and of other fresh
foods and leftovers
-low temperature defrosting (it inhibits the proliferation of
microorganisms).
You can get the 0°C temperature, in standard conditions, when
the fridge compartment temperature is at about 4°C.
By decreasing the fridge temperature you decrease the CHILLER
compartment temperature too.
SHELVES:
Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable allowing easy storage of large containers
and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of
the shelf. (see diagram),

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: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher position (colder) 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.
I CARE
*
Controls the activation and deactivation of the I CARE function
(optimal operating temperature for minimal energy consumption).
Consumption will be optimised 24h after the function was enabled.
When this function is activated, the I CARE LED on the keypad
lights up.Press and hold the I CARE button for 8 seconds so that
the corresponding LED begins to flash; this will allow you to set
the temperature to in the Refrigerator compartment and in the
Freezer compartment. Two minutes after the most recent user
interaction, the display enters its energy saving mode.To exit
the energy saving mode, simply press any button or open the
refrigerator door.

*
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been specially
designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh and
crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position

) if you want to store
food in a less humid environment like fruit, or close it (position
A
)
to store food in a more humid environment like vegetable.
