ELECTRONIC DISPLAY CONTROLS

The electronic display panel consists of an LCD display
with white backlighting. When the power is first turned on,
the display, with backlighting, will activate.
If no buttons have been pressed and the fridge door is
closed the backlighting will turn off after 30 seconds.

Controlling the temperature

We recommend that when you start your refrigerator for
the first time, the temperature for the refrigerator is set to
3°C and the freezer to -18°C. If you want to change the
temperature, follow the instructions below. Make only
small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it's correct.
Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication
if your freezer is the right temperature, while feeling the
coldness of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way
of checking the temperature of the food compartment.
NOTE: When you set a temperature, you set an
average temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet.
Temperatures inside each compartment may vary,
depending on how much food you store and where you
place it. High or low room temperature may also affect
the actual temperature inside the refrigerator.
If no button has been pressed for some time there
may be a delay of up to 2 seconds before the display
responds, this is normal and is a part of the display
design to reduce the chance of accidental changes.

Changing the freezer temperature

Press the Select button until the freezer compartment
is illuminated on the refrigerator icon. Use the arrows to
the left and right of the display to select a higher or lower
temperature in 1˚c steps. Once the maximum of -23 ˚c is
reached, the display will return to -14 ˚c with the next press
of the button.

Changing the refrigerator temperature

Press the Select button until the food compartment is
illuminated on the refrigerator icon. Use the arrows to
the left and right of the display to select a higher or lower
temperature in 1˚c steps. Once 0˚c is reached, the display
will return to 7˚c with the next press of the button.

Boost function

Use the boost function when you add a large amount
of food to the fridge compartment. To use this function,
press the Modes button until Boost is illuminated. Boost
function chills the food quickly but does not affect the
temperature in the freezer compartment.
The boost function will operate for 90 minutes before
automatically returning to normal operation. If you want
to turn the boost off before 90 minutes have passed,
simply press the Modes button again until the Boost
icon disappears and the refrigerator will return to
normal operation.

Freezer temperature alarm

If the alarm sounds for no apparent reason, check whether
anything is keeping the door open. If the freezer becomes
too warm due to the freezer door being left open or warm
food being placed too close to the temperature sensor, a
buzzer will sound.
If the freezer temperature alarm sounds, press any button
to disable the alarm.
Make sure nothing is holding the freezer door open and
move any warm food away from the temperature sensor. If
the freezer is still too warm after 50 minutes, the alarm will
sound again, indicating that something may be wrong with
the refrigerator.
NOTE: The freezer temperature alarm can be reset for
12 hours by holding the alarm reset button continuously
for 10 seconds.

Door alarm

If the fridge or freezer door is left open for more than two
minutes, the alarm will buzz and an arrow pointing to an
open door will flash, along with the temperature setting
and bar graph. If you want to leave the door open while
you load the refrigerator, you can turn the alarm off for 8
minutes by pressing any button.
If the fridge door is left open for more than 30 minutes, the
light will automatically turn off to save energy. To turn the
light back on simply close and reopen the door again.
