1. INSTALLATION

1.1. INSTALLING SINGLE APPLIANCE

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

50mm

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).

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 reduces the power consumed by external display.

Note: The declared appliance energy consumption refers to operation with the Smart Display function activated.

2.3. 6TH SENSE FRESH CONTROL

PROFRESH

This function allows optimum storage conditions (regarding temperature and humidity) to be quickly reached inside the appliance. The fan must also be switched on for it to work properly. The “6th Sense Fresh Control” / “ProFresh” is activated by default To activate or deactivate this function – see enclosed Quick Start Guide.

2.5. VACATION

This function can be activated to reduce the energy consumption of the appliance during a period of absence. Before activating the feature, all perishable food should be removed from the refrigeration compartment and make sure that the door is closed properly, since the refrigerator will maintain a suitable temperature to prevent the formation of unpleasant odors (+12°C). To activate/ deactivate press the Vacation mode button for 3 seconds. When the function is enabled, the related symbol will light up and the temperature of the refrigerator compartment will be set to a higher setpoint (the temperature display will show the new temperature setpoint of +12°C). Changing the temperature setpoint will automatically deactivate the function.

Attention:

• Incompatibility with the “Fast Cool” function

To guarantee optimal performance, the “Vacation” and “Fast Cool” functions cannot be used at the same time. Therefore, if the “Fast Cool” function has been already engaged, it has to be disengaged first to activate the “Vacation” function (and vice-versa).

2.7. ZERO DEGREES DRAWER*

The Zero Degrees Drawer is specifically designed to maintain a low temperature and a suitable humidity level, in order to keep foods fresher for longer (e.g. meat, fish, fruit and winter vegetables).

Activating and deactivating the box

The temperature inside the box, when active, is approximately 0°. The following factors are vital for the “Zero Degrees” box to work properly:

- the refrigerator compartment must be switched on

- the temperature of the refrigerator compartment must

be between +2°C and +5°C

- the box must be inserted to enable activation

- no special functions must have been selected

(Standby, Vacation – where applicable). If one of these special functions has been selected, the “Zero Degrees” box must be deactivated manually, and any fresh food inside it removed. If manual deactivation does not take place, the box will be deactivated automatically after 8 hours.

Note:

- if the symbol does not light up when the function is activated, check that the drawer is properly inserted; if the problem persists, contact your nearest authorized After-sales Service

- if the function is active and the drawer open, the

symbol on the control panel may be deactivated

automatically. If the drawer is inserted, the symbol will

become active again

- irrespective of the state of the function, a slight noise

may be heard: this is normal and is not a cause for

concern.

- when the function is not active, the temperature in the

drawer depends on the general temperature inside

the refrigerator. In this case, we recommend it is used to store fruit and vegetables which are not sensitive to cold temperatures (fruits of the forest, apples, apricots, carrots, spinach, lettuce, etc.).

Important: when the function is activated and there are foodstuffs with a high water content, condensation may form on shelves. In this case, disable the function temporarily.

2.8. FAN

The Fan improves temperature distribution inside the product, allowing better preservation of stored food. By default, the fan is switched on. It is advisable to keep the fan switched on, so that the 6th Sense Fresh Control / ProFresh function can work properly and also when the ambient air temperature is above 27 ÷ 28°C or if you notice drops of water on the glass shelves or in sever humidity conditions. 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 product. It is therefore absolutely normal if the fan does not move even if the fan is switched on. To activate or deactivate this function – see enclosed Quick Start Guide.

Attention: Switching- off the Fan deactivate the 6th Sense Fresh Control / ProFresh function.

Note: Do not obstruct the air intake area with food items.

To guarantee the right performance at lower ambient temperature (colder than 18°C) and to minimize Energy Consumption, turn off the fan. To turn off the fan please see above procedure. If the appliance has the Fan it can be equipped with the antibacterial filter. Remove it from the box placed in the crisper drawer and insert into the cover of fan. The replacement procedure is included in the filter box.

2.9. TEMPERATURE SETTING

The appliance is normally factory-set for operation at the recommended temperature of 5°C. The internal temperature can be adjusted between 8°C and 2°C, proceeding as follows:

• Press the temperature setting button (°C). The storage temperature can be changed by -1°C with each pressure of the button: the value changes cyclically between 8°C and 2°C.

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

2.10. 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.
