Temperature regulation

The temperature within the appliance is con­trolled by the Temperature regulator situ­ated at the top of the appliance.
The temperature of the fridge compartment
may be regulated by rotating the Fridge tem­perature regulator, and may vary between
more or less +2°C and +8°C.
The temperature of the freezer compart­ment may be regulated by rotating the Freez­er temperature regulator, and may vary be­tween more or less -15°C and -24°C.
By turning the Temperature regulator, the
display flashes and shows the desired tem­perature.
For a correct storage of the food the follow­ing temperatures should be set:
+5°C in the fridge

-18°C in the freezer.
After having set the desired temperature, if
the Temperature regulator is not rotated
within 5 seconds, the temperature of the
freezer compartment will be indicated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as fol­lows:

• turn the Temperature regulator clockwise
to obtain the maximum coldness

• turn the Temperature regulator counter­clockwise to obtain the minimum cold­ness.

The intermediate position is usually the
most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chos­en keeping in mind that the temperature in­side the appliance depends on:

• room temperature

• how often the door is opened

• the quantity of food stored

• the location of the appliance.

Shopping Function

If you need to insert a large amount of
warm food, for example after doing the gro-

cery shopping, we suggest activating the
Shopping function to chill the products
more rapidly and to avoid warming the oth­er food which is already in the refrigerator.
The Shopping function is activated by press­ing Function button (several times if neces­sary) until the corresponding icon appears

.
The Shopping function shuts off automati­cally after approximately 6 hours.
It is possible to de-activate the function at
any time by pressing Function button (see
"Activation of functions" ) .

Action Freeze Function

To freeze fresh foods, you will need to acti­vate the Action Freeze function. Press Func­tion button (several times if necessary) until
the corresponding icon appears.
This function stops automatically after 52
hours.
It is possible to deactivate the function at
any time by pressing Function button (refer
to "Functions Menu").

Excessive temperature alarm

An increase in the temperature in the freez­er compartment (for example due to a pow­er failure) is indicated by:

• flashing temperature

• freezer compartment flashing (Freezer

compartment indicator )

• red illumination of display

• sounding of buzzer

•alarm symbol.
When normal conditions are restored:

• the acoustic signal shuts off

• the temperature value continues to flash

• the display illumination remains red.
When you press Function button / Alarm re­set switch to deactivate the alarm, the high­est temperature reached in the compart­ment appears on indicator

for some sec­onds.
At this point the flashing stops and the dis­play illumination changes over from red to
white.
During the alarm phase, the buzzer can be
switched off by pressing Function button /
Alarm reset switch.
The illumination of the display remains red
until normal storage conditions are restored.
