After a power failure the set temperature remains stored.
If you need to insert in the fridge compartment a large amount of warm food, for example after doing the grocery shopping, we suggest activating the FastCool function to chill the products more rapidly and to avoid warming the other food which is already in the refrigerator.
This function stops automatically after approximately 6 hours.
You can deactivate the FastCool function before its automatic end by repeating the procedure or by selecting a different fridge set temperature.
This mode allows you to keep the appliance empty during a long holiday period reducing the formation of bad odours.
This mode switches off after selecting a different temperature.
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a device that allows rapid cooling of food and keeps more uniform temperature in the compartment.
This device activates automatically when needed or manually.
To switch on the function:
To switch off the function repeat the procedure until the DYNAMICAIR indicator turns off.
If the function is activated automatically the DYNAMICAIR indicator is not shown (refer to "DYNAMICAIR" section in "Daily use").
The activation of the DYNAMICAIR function increase the energy consumption.

To switch off the function repeat the procedure until the DrinksChill indicator turns off.
It is possible to change the time at any time during the countdown and at the end by pressing the Temperature colder button and the Temperature warmer button.
If the fridge door is left open for approximately 5 minutes, the sound is on and alarm indicator flashes.
The alarm stops after closing the door. During the alarm, the sound can be muted by pressing any button.
If you do not press any button, the sound switches off automatically after around one hour to avoid disturbing.
This refrigerating appliance is not suitable for freezing foodstuffs.
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
This appliance is also equipped with a shelf consisting of two parts. The front half of the shelf can be placed under the second half to make better use of space.
To fold the shelf:
Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables. To remove the drawer (e.g. for cleaning):
To reassemble:
Pull out the drawer again and check if it is placed correctly on both rear and front hooks.
The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits (adjustable by means of a sliding lever), which makes it possible to regulate the humidity in the vegetable drawer(s).
Do not place any food products on the humidity control device.
The position of the humidity control depends on the type and on the amount of fruits and vegetables:
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a device that allows rapid cooling of foods and keeps more uniform temperature in the compartment.
Do not remove the Styrofoam at the bottom of the device.
This device activates automatically when needed.
It is also possible to switch on the device manually when needed (refer to "DYNAMICAIR function").
The fan operates only when the door is closed.
Your appliance is equipped with the CleanAir carbon filter in a drawer inside the DYNAMICAIR device.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted odours in the fridge compartment, improving the storage quality.
On delivery, the filter is in a plastic bag (refer to "Care and cleaning" chapter for the installation).
During the operation, always keep the air ventilation drawer closed.
Refer to Safety chapters.
Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.
The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner provided with the appliance.
The CleanAir filter is an active carbon filter which absorbs bad odours and permits to maintain the best flavour and aroma for all foodstuffs without risk of odour cross contamination.
The air filter should be handled carefully to prevent its surface from being scratched.
On delivery, the carbon filter is in a plastic bag to preserve performance. Place the filter in the slot before activating the appliance.
The air filter is a consumable accessory and as such is not covered by the guarantee.
New active air filters can be purchased from your local dealer. To change the air filter repeat the procedure.
