SENSE

This function automatically works to ensure the optimal conditions to preserve the

stored food.

The “6th Sense” function is automatically activated when:

• a large amount of food is loaded into the refrigerator

• the refrigerator door is left open for a long time

• a prolonged power failure takes place, causing the internal temperature of the

appliance to increase to values that cannot guarantee safe storage of food.

FAN

The fan improves temperature distribution inside the refrigerator compartment,

allowing better preservation of stored food.

By default, the fan is switched on.

It is advisable to keep the fan switched on, so that the “6th Sense” function can work

properly and also when the ambient air temperature is above 27 - 28°C or if you

notice drops of water on the glass shelves or in sever humidity conditions.

To turn off the fan press the button of fan.

Please note that when the fan is switched on it will not continuously work. The fan

will start/stop working depending on the temperature and/or humidity level inside the

fridge.

It is therefore absolutely normal if the fan does not move even if the fan is switched

on.

UTILISATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE WATER DISPENSER AND FILTER

Water dispenser

First use

The first time you use the water dispenser or after a long period left not used wash the tank and the filter with water. The

water dispenser provides fresh, filtered water, without the need of opening the refrigerator door. This will reduce the number

of times the door is opened, thus also reducing energy consumption of the product.

Fitting and replacing the active carbon filter

The water filter should be removed from the foil bag (found in the crisper drawer (item 7). Follow the instructions provided

with the filter.

Important: If the filter is left dry for an extended period of time, its performance may be reduced. Immerse the filter in water

for a few seconds to reinstate optimum performance.

To fill the tank, rotate the cap in the direction

of the arrow

Water tank (fig. 1)

The water tank is made of antibacterial material. This prevents and

reduces the proliferation of bacteria. An internal container, with an

active carbon filtered ensures water filtration. To fill the tank: rotate the

water inlet towards you and fill with water, using a jug or other suitable

container. Once the tank is full, close the water inlet by moving it back to

its original position. Always use drinking water only: any other liquid may

impair product performance.

Obtaining filtered water (fig. 2)

After filling the tank, the water may not be immediately available. This is

because the filtering process may require a few minutes (depending on

the amount of water in the tank).

To dispense water: with the refrigerator door closed, press the water

dispenser tab with the glass. If for safety reason water delivery must be

prevented, simply press the stop at the back of the tab. To release water

delivery, move the stop back to its original position. It is recommended to

drink the supplied water from the dispenser in 6 hours.

Cleaning the water tank (fig. 3-4-5-6-7-8)

Periodically clean the water tank with running water. Twice a year it is

recommended to keep healthy the unit using specific products based

on diluted chlorine that not modify the material properties and rinse with

current water.

To clean the tank, proceed as follows:

- (fig. 3) release and remove the water tank by lifting it and pulling towards

you. Place the tank on a flat surface, remove and wash the top cover.

Note: the tank must be refitted in its position as soon as possible,

to prevent the refrigerator from overheating.

- (fig. 4) remove the internal container and the filter, and wash them

separately.

When washing the filter, only use clean water

(no detergent or sharp

tools). To clean the disk filter, first remove it from the container.

- (fig. 5) for a more thorough cleaning, remove the valve cap (the fitting

connecting the tank to the refrigerator) by rotating it anticlockwise.

Clean the cap. Important: do not pull on the valve body (fig. 6).

- (fig. 7) replace the valve cap by rotating clockwise.

- (fig. 8) fit the tank back in place by placing it between the

lateral guides of the door and pushing it in position, ensuring

that the valve is back in its original seat. Check that the there

are no gaps between the rubber seal of the tank and the

door.

Water Filter Duration

To ensure optimum performance you should change the water filter according with the following table:

Water consumption (average) Filter duration

3,0 l/day 4 months

4,5 l/day 3 months

6,0 l/day 2 months

Filter replacement is not covered by product warranty. To order more water filter cartridges, please contact your

after-sales service.
