  TURNING OFF THE SOUND ALARM

To turn off the sound alarm, briefly press the button.

  BLACK OUT ALARM

This alarm is triggered in the event of a prolonged power outage that has caused the temperature inside the freezer compartment to rise. The red indicator light flashes and an acoustic signal is triggered, which will remain active until the door is closed. The freezer compartment temperature indicators may flash. To turn the sound signal off, press the “Turn off alarm” button . If the freezer compartment has not yet reached the temperature for the optimal preservation of the food items, the temperature alarm may be triggered (see temperature alarm). Check the food before consuming it.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT TEMPERATURE

It is possible to set a different temperature with the “Freezer” button.

Recommended setting: Freezer compartment: -18°C

  FAST FREEZE

Press the “Freezer” button for 3 seconds 24 hours before putting large quantities of food to freeze in the freezer compartment. When the function is turned on the icon lights up .

The function turns off automatically after 48 hours, or manually by pressing the “Freezer” button again for 3 seconds.

Note: avoid a direct contact between the fresh food and the food that is already frozen. To optimise the freezing speed, drawers can be removed and the food can be placed directly on the bottom of the compartment.

  FREEZE CONTROL

”Freeze Control” is an advanced technology that reduces temperature fluctuations in the whole freezer compartment to minimum, thanks to an innovative air system. Freeze burns are reduced up to 50% and food preserves its original quality and color. To activate/deactivate the “Freeze Control” function press the Freeze

Control Button

. The function works properly in a defined range of

temperature: between -22°C and -24°C. When the function is engaged and the current temperature in the freezer is set to the warmer set point than -22°C, the temperature is automatically set to -22°C to match the working range. If the function is engaged and the user modify the freezer temperature out of the working range, the function is automatically switched off. In case of “Fast freeze” is engaged, the function “Freeze control” is inhibited until the “Fast Freeze” function switched off.

  ECO NIGHT FUNCTION (ECO NIGHT)

Eco Night function allows one to concentrate the energy consumption of the product during off-peak time (usually coinciding with night time), when energy is available in large quantity and it costs less than during the day (only in specific countries –using multiple-rate system based on off-peak timescheck your rate plan with your utility company). To activate the function, press the button Eco Night at the reduced rate start time (depending on the specific rates plan). For example, if the reduced rate applies starting at 10:00 p.m., press the button that corresponds to that time. When the LED is ON, the function is active. After you activate the function, the product automatically starts to adapt the energy consumption to the time (i.e. Consuming more energy during the night then during the day).

Important: In order to work properly, the function must be enabled both during the night and during the day. The function will remain enabled until deactivated (it will also be deactivated in the event of a blackout, or whenever the appliance is turned off). To deactivate the function, press the button again. When the LED is OFF, the function is not active.

Note: the power consumption of the appliance is declared with the Eco night function disabled.

The drawers, baskets and shelves should be kept in their current position unless otherwise specified in this quick guide. The light system inside the refrigerator compartment uses LED lights, allowing for better lighting than with traditional light bulbs, as well as for very low energy consumption.

Doors and lids of the refrigeration appliance should be removed before disposal in the landfill, to avoid children or animals getting trapped inside.
