Use & Care guide

Control panel

1.Indicator Leds (to display the current temperature setpoint or the Super Cooling function)

2.Super Cooling Button / Temperature Button

Temperature setting

Press the Temperature button on the control panel to adjust the temperature from the warmest through the lower to the coldest level. Pressing the Temperature button, the temperature setting will change cyclically. At first plug-in of appliance temperature setpoint is present at medium position (factory setting). Following table shows temperature setpoints:

  High temp.

  Med-high temp.   Medium temp.   Med-low temp.   Low temp.

  Super Cooling

 

 OFF ON

Note: Displayed set points correspond to the average temperature throughout the whole refrigerator.

Super Cooling

The use of the Super Cooling function is recommended to increase the cooling capacity of the refrigerator compartment when placing a very high quantity of food within it.

To activate the Super Cooling function, press and hold for 3 seconds the Temperature button on the control panel till all the 3 LEDs will turn on.

The function is automatically deactivated after 24 hours and return to previous selected set point.

The function can be manually deactivated by pressing and holding for 3 seconds the Temperature button on the control panel.

Note: Super Cooling function should be also switched ON before placing fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartment, in order to maximize the freezing capacity.

Fan*

The Fan improves temperature distribution inside the product, allowing better preservation of stored food.

By default, the fan is switched on. To turn off the fan press the button located on the bottom right corner of fan housing. If the ambient temperature exceeds 27°C, or if drops of water are present on the glass shelves, it is essential that the fan is on to ensure the proper preservation of the food. Deactivation of the fan allows energy consumption to be optimised. 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.

If the appliance has the Fan it can be equipped with the antibacterial filter. Visit the website page or contact consumer service to purchase the filter.

Use & Care guide

LED light

EN

If the LED light system does not work, please contact the Service to replace it.

Important: The refrigerator compartment light switches on when the refrigerator door is opened. If the door is kept open for more than 8 minutes the light will be automatically switched off.

Humidity control *

Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to store food in a less humid environment like fruit, or close it (position A) to store food in a more humid environment like vegetable.

Tuck shelf *

Thanks to the rail system, this shelf allows you to slide under the front part, creating an extra space for storing tall bottles or pitchers.

Shelves

All shelves, flaps and pull-out baskets are removable.

Door

Door reversibility

Note: the direction of door opening can be changed. If this operation is performed by After-sales Service it is not covered by the warranty. Is recommended to reverse door swing by two persons. Follow instruction.

No-frost refrigerator compartment

Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in progress.

The defrost water is automatically run into a drain hole and collected in a container, where it evaporates.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

The freezer should be defrosted once or twice a year or when excessive frost is present (3 mm thickness). The formation of frost is normal.

The amount and rate at which frost accumulates depends on room conditions and how often the door is open. To defrost the unit, switch off the product and take out all food.

Leave the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt.

Use the box under the bottom front of the appliance to collect water (showed on the figure).

Clean the inside of the freezer. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Switch the appliance back on and store the food inside.

Stop frost accessory*

The STOP FROST accessory is designed to collect some of the frost that forms in the freezer compartment and it is easy to remove and clean, therefore reducing the time needed to defrost the inside of the freezer compartment.
