GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE

NOTICE
After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the
upright position and wait approximately 3 hours be-
fore connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee
that it operates properly.
Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean
the interior well with warm water and baking soda.
This model is provided with a motor protection control
system. Therefore, if the compressor does not start
immediately upon installation, do not worry as it will
start automatically after approximately 8 minutes.
This is also what will happen every time the power
supply is interrupted, both due to a power failure or
should you switch it off yourself (to clean or defrost
your freezer, for example).

HOW TO USE THE DISPLAY

Firstly, take all the advice that appears in the form of scrolling
text on the display: it will be of use to you, especially when
you make your first settings.
Temperature settings:
If the appliance is switched off, the temperatures set at that
time will appear in the indication spaces on the display
concerning the refrigeration and freezer compartments (G
for the refrigerator and H for the freezer). To change these,
press the MODE (D) button as many times as necessary for
the figure corresponding to the temperature set to flash in
the relative indication space. Now you can select the new
temperature to set by pressing the ADJUST/SELECT + (E) (to
increase the temperature displayed by one degree) and/or
ADJUST/SELECT - (F) (to decrease the temperature displayed
by one degree) buttons. Once you have reached the desired
temperature, you should set it by pressing the MODE (D) button
again to confirm the selection. Now the new temperature will
stop flashing and will remain fixed in the relevant indication space
on the display to indicate that the new setting has been made.
NOTE: if you do not confirm your selection by pressing the
MODE button within ten seconds of the last action
performed on the display, the latter shall go back to displaying
the temperature previously in being and indicate that no
new temperature has been set.
The temperatures set automatically are +5°C for the refrigerator
compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment and these
are the standard temperatures for food storage.
The settable temperatures for the refrigerator compartment
range from +2°C to +8°C, whereas those for the freezer
compartment range from -18°C to -26°C. When the ECO
function is enabled, the possible settings are instead closer
When the appliance is switched on, the refrigerator
compartment is brought to the standard setting of + 5°C.
We recommend you enable the SUPER COOL function to
speed up the cooling process of the compartment: after a
few hours, you may place food inside the refrigerator.
to the standard ones for food storage: from +4°C to +6°C
for the refrigerator compartment and from -18°C to -20°C
for the freezer compartment. The possible increases and
decrease are still of 1°C.
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 and -18°C for the freezer
compartment.
