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 ON/OFF button is pressed for more than two seconds) 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. The temperatures are automatically set to +5°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment (these are standard food storage values. When the ECO function is active, the appliance automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the conditions inside and outside the refrigerator; the operation of this function is signalled by the text AUTO. Whenever it is necessary to activate the ECO function at temperatures that are different to the standard storage values, the ECO button must be pressed as soon as the function is activated and held down while the new temperatures are set using the - and + buttons. Under these conditions, the temperatures may be set to 4°C, 5°C and 6°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C, -19°C and -20°C for the freezer compartment. 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. This function is indicated by the text. To activate and deactivate the functions simply press the relevant button and the function status will be signalled by the corresponding LED switching on or off. Several functions (SUPER COOL, SUPER FREEZE, BOTTLE CHILL, ECO) are incompatible with others (HOLIDAY,...); remember that there is a pre-set order of priority which will help you to use the product in the best possible way. When the BOTTLE CHILL function has finished, press the BOTTLE CHILL button to stop the corresponding LED from flashing and to silence the sound signal. This flashing and sound signal indicates that the function is complete and that the bottle should be removed from the freezer compartment. Child Lock In order to activate the Child Lock function, the Child Lock button must be pressed for 2 seconds; the activation of the button lock is confirmed by a short beep and the illumination of the corresponding LED. To deactivate the function, press the Child Lock button for 2 seconds; deactivation will be confirmed by a short beep and by the corresponding LED switching off. ! The FREEZER status bar is also used to indicate an GB Navigating the display Setting the temperatures: If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer status bars will indicate the temperatures 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 one of the buttons is pressed the temperature is increased or decreased by 1°, and the level of cold is adjusted accordingly.The temperature values that may be selected for the refrigerator compartment are +12°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, -120°C, -21°C, -22°C, -24°C and -26°C. unusual temperature increase in the freezer compartment (see Troubleshooting). 17 GB 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 freezer to its full potential Adjust the temperature using the display. To freeze foods in safely and correctly, follow the instructions below: place the food in the FREEZER and STORAGE compartment, making sure that it does not come into contact with any food that has already been frozen; press the rapid-freezing SUPER FREEZE button (the corresponding LED lights up) and close the door. The function deactivates automatically after 24 hours or when the inside of the compartment has reached the optimal temperature (the LED switches off). 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. 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). In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates. ! 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. Using the refrigerator to its full potential Adjust the temperature using the display. Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower the temperature quickly.
