1.1. INSTALLING SINGLE APPLIANCE

50mm

To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space on both sides and above the appliance.

The distance between the rear of the appliance and the wall behind the appliance should be at least 50mm.

A reduction of this space will increase the Energy consumption of product.

1.2. INSTALLING TWO APPLIANCES

During installing the freezer

and the fridge 2 together ensure that the freezer is located on the left and the fridge on the right (as shown on the drawing). Left side of refrigerator is equipped with special device in order to avoid condensation problems between appliances.

We recommended installing two appliances together

using the linking-kit

(as shown on the drawing). You

can buy it in Service.

2. FUNCTIONS

2.1. SMART DISPLAY*

This function can be used to save energy. Please follow the instructions contained in the Quick Start Guide to activate/deactivate the function. Two seconds after activation of the Smart Display, the display goes off. To adjust the temperature or use other functions, it is necessary to activate the display by pressing any button. After about 15 seconds without performing any action, the display goes off again. When function is deactivated the normal display is restored. The Smart Display is automatically disabled after a power failure. Remember that this function does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply, but only reduce the energy consumed by external display.

Note: The declared appliance energy consumption refers to operation with the Smart Display function activated. This function is available only on the model with User Interface on the door.

2.2. 6TH SENSE FREEZE CONTROL FREEZE CONTROL

The 6th Sense Freeze Control/ ProFreeze Freeze Control function works to maintain the right temperature in the following cases:

- Door opened for a while

The function activates when door opening causes the internal temperature to increase to values that do not ensure safe storage of food and remains active until optimal storage conditions have been restored.

- Fresh food stored in the freezer

The function activates when fresh food is placed in the freezer and remains active until optimal freezing conditions are reached so as to ensure the best freezing quality with the lowest power consumption.

Note: Besides the quantity of food loaded into the freezer, ambient temperature and the quantity of food already inside the freezer affect the duration of the 6th Sense Freeze Control/ ProFreeze Freeze Control function. Therefore significant duration variations are quite normal.

2.3. ON/STAND BY

2.4. BLACK OUT ALARM

After a power blackout, your product is designed to automatically monitor the temperature in the freezer when electricity is resupplied. If the temperature in the freezer rises above freezing level, the Black Out indicator

• If the food in the freezer is unfrozen but still cold, all

the food in the freezer should be eaten within the next

• 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 Alarm is designed to provide guidance on food

quality in the freezer in the event of electricity black

out. This system does not guarantee food quality

or safety and consumers are advised to use their

own judgment in evaluating food quality in freezer

compartment.
