Using the display
Setting the temperature
If the compartment concerned is switched off, the word
OFF will appear on the relative indication space on the
display (REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
setting and
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
setting). If the compartment is
switched on, then the temperatures set at that time will
appear. To change them, turn the relative knob directly
(REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob and FREEZER
OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF
Knob).
The refrigerator compartment can be set to between
+2°C and +8°C, while the freezer compartment can be
set to a temperature of between -18°C and -26°C. The
temperature in both cases can be increased or
decreased by 1°C at a time.
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 (if
enabled) and -18°C for the freezer compartment.
Function status
Function symbol during normal operation
Function selected (outline flashing)
Function enabled (outline on)
Enabling/disabling the functions
Press the MODE button as many times as necessary for
the red outline of the function you wish to act on to light
up: this indicates that the function has been selected
and is ready to be enabled or disabled. Now you can
enable or disable the selected function using the
SELECT button.
! If you do not confirm your selection by pressing the
SELECT button within five seconds of the last action
performed on the display, the latter shall go back to
displaying the function previously set and indicate that
no new modification has been made.
The SUPER COOL function is linked to the refrigerator
compartment and when the latter is switched off, no action
whatsoever will be possible on the former, other functions
foresee an operation that can create conflicts (for example,
when the HOLIDAY and SUPER FREEZE functions are
enabled simultaneously), in this case a pre-set priority is
taken into consideration in order to help you operate the
appliance.
! The SUPER FREEZE function features a double mode
of operation (see paragraph on operating the freezer
compartment).
Enabling/disabling the DEMO mode:
To run a demonstration of the display operation while
keeping the appliance turned off, just enable the DEMO
mode.
Enabling:
- set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF
Knob to 0ff;
- keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed for
approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer and
the two words “OFF” and “OFF” flash on the display;
these words will flash for the entire duration the DEMO
mode is enabled.
Disabling:
- set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF
Knob to 0ff;
- keep the two buttons “Select” and “Mode” pressed for
approximately 5 seconds, until you hear the buzzer and
the two words “OFF” and “OFF” on the display stop
flashing.
Holiday function
To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not
necessary to switch the appliance off. The appliance has
a function which allows it to maintain the temperature of
the refrigerator compartment at approximately 15°C
(which can also be used to conserve make-up and
beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to
the minimum value in order to preserve the food.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust
the temperature ( see Description).
• Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the
temperature quickly. For example, when you place a
large number of new food items inside a fridge, the
internal temperature will rise slightly. The function
quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the
temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment,
not hot foods ( see Precautions and tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than
raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause
condensation to form.
