Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

! 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.

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.

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

unusual temperature increase in the freezer

compartment (see Troubleshooting).
