Freezer using:

- The freezer compartment can be used without the

baskets to increase storage for large food. Place the

food directly on the racks.

- If the lower basket is removed, the additional shelf in the

fridge compartment (see picture) has to be placed inside

the freezer compartment, instead of lower basket. The

space below the shelf becomes 2 stars (< -12 °C) and it

is for frozen foodstuffs with short storage time.

After inserting food, ensure that the freezer compartment

door closes properly.

Notes:

- In case of power failure the cold accumulator helps

to keep optimal storage temperature longer.

- All shelves and door trays are removable.

- The internal temperatures of the appliance

depends on the ambient temperature, frequency of

opening the doors, as well as location of the appliance.

Temperature setting must consider these factors.

- The appliance accessories are not suitable for washing

in dishwasher.

HOW TO START THE APPLIANCE

Fit the spacers (if supplied) on the

upper part of the condenser at the

rear of the appliance. When the

appliance is connected to the

power supply, the display lights up

and all the symbols appear on the display for a few seconds.

The freezer factory setting -18°C appears and flashes,

while the refrigerator display shows a temperature of

+5°C (factory-set). While the appliance is working to

reach the factory-set temperature, an acoustic alarm

sounds and temperature symbol on the freezer display

flashes (- -). This indicates that the appliance has not yet

reached the optimal temperature for storage of foodstuffs.

Press and hold the button "Reset" until the acoustic alarm

disables.

The icon disappears when the freezer compartment

reaches a temperature below -12°C, the display will show

the temperature -18°C.

After being switched on, the refrigerator needs from 4 to

6 hours to reach the correct temperature to store a

typical volume of food in the refrigerator compartment.

Important:

•If food is placed in the refrigerator before the appliance

has cooled completely, it may deteriorate.

•Turning the refrigerator and freezer controls to a colder

than recommended setting will not cool the

compartments any faster.

•A built-in exterior moisture control continuously guards

against moisture build-up on the front edges.

Do not be alarmed if these edges sometimes feel warm to

the touch. The inside light switches on when the

refrigerator door is opened.

After 10 minutes of door opening the light switches off.

FAN WITH A BUTTON

The fan improves temperature distribution inside the

refrigerator compartment, allowing better preservation of

stored food. By default, the fan is ACTIVE.

It is advisable to keep the fan active, so that the "Fresh

Control" / "ProFresh" function can work and also when

the ambient air temperature is over 27 ÷ 28°C or if you

perceive drops of water on the glass shelves or in the

severe humidity conditions.

Note

Do not obstruct the air intake area with food items.

When Fresh Control / ProFresh is disabled

remember to turn off the fan when there is a lower

ambient air temperature.

Power failure alarm "Black Out Alert"

In the event of an interruption in electricity, your

recommended:

• If the food in the freezer is unfrozen but still

cold, all the food in the freezer should be moved

to the fridge compartment and eaten within the

next 24 hours.

• If the food in the freezer is frozen, this indicates

the food was thawed and then refrozen when

electricity was re-supplied which degrades taste,

quality and nutritional value and also could be

unsafe. It is recommended to not consume the

food but to dispose of the entire content of the

freezer.

The Black Out Alert system is designed to
