Switching on
Plug the plug into the power outlet.
The display is illuminated, the appliance is on.
As soon as the appliance is turned on, it is in alarm condition, the temperature flashes and you will hear a buzzer.
Press the RESET switch and the buzzer will go off (refer to "High temperature alarm" ) and on the temperature indicator will appear the warmest temperature reached.
For a correct storage of the food the following temperatures should be set: +5°C in the fridge
-18°C in the freezer
To select a different temperature refer to "Temperature regulation".
Wait until the inside compartment temperature reach -18°C, before introducing the goods in the freezer compartment.
Switching off
To switch the appliance off do these steps: 1. Remove the mains plug.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1.Remove the mains plug or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
2.Defrost and clean the appliance thoroughly.
3.Finally, leave the doors open so as to avoid a build up of odours.
Temperature setting buttons
The temperature is adjusted using the temperature setting buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature indicator.
•The temperature indicator is switched over from the indicator of the ACTUAL temperature (Temperature indicator is illuminated) to the indicator of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature indicator flashes) by pressing one of the Temperature setting buttons.
•Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature is adjusted by 1°C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.
If neither button is pressed, the temperature indicator automatically switches back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the indicator of the ACTUAL temperature.
DESIRED temperature means:
Control panel |

|
|
The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge or the freezer. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means:
The temperature indicator shows the current temperature inside the fridge or the freezer. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature regulation
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
1.Set the required temperature by pressing the corresponding temperature regulator. The temperature indicator will immediately show the changed setting (DESIRED temperature) and the temperature indicator flashes.
2.Each time the temperature regulator is pressed the DESIRED temperature is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.
3.Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) the temperature indicator will show again the current ACTUAL temperature inside the corresponding compartment. The temperature indicator will change from flashing to con-
tinuous illumination.
For a correct storage of the food the following temperatures should be set:
•+5 °C in the fridge
•-18 °C in the freezer.
When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food immediately after switching on.
Temperature indicators
The temperature indicators can indicate several pieces of information.
•During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.
•In the freezer the warmest temperature is displayed (ACTUAL temperature). When fully filled, the warmest zone is normally located at the top in the front area of the freezer . Depending upon how the section is filled, the temperatures are lower in other areas of the freezer .
•When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the fridge or the freezer temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).
When changing the temperature setting wait about 24 hours until the temperature display has stabilised.
If there is a fault in the appliance the temperature indicator shows:
•a square or a letter in the temperature indicator of the fridge for a fault in the fridge,
•a square or a letter in the temperature indicator of the freezer for a fault in the freezer.

Both thermometer indicators show a falling temperature column. To deactivate the function:
1. Press the MODE button until the SHOPPING word goes out.
FROSTMATIC function
The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.
To activate the function, do these steps:
1.Press the MODE button until FROSTMATIC word flashes in the indicator.
2.The FROSTMATIC word will light up after approx. 4 seconds when the operating FROST-
MATIC mode is activated.
The thermometer indicator in the display for the freezer shows a falling temperature column.
To deactivate the function:
1. Press the MODE button until the FROSTMATIC word goes out. The FROSTMATIC function stops automatically after about 52 hours.
If the FROSTMATIC function is switched on the temperature setting may not be changed.
