Freezer Compartment

When the product is switched on the freezer compartment is set to its default value of -18°C. We recommend that the QUICK

FREEZE function is set (the freezer status bar continues to display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the compartment; when the inside of the compartment has reached its optimal temperature the function will be deactivated and the food may be placed inside.

ACTIVE OXYGEN *

This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator; ozone is a natural substance which combats bacteria and microorganisms, reducing their proliferation while limiting unpleasant odours.

Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging the freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing bacteria build-up.

Refrigerator Compartment

When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator compartment is set to its default value of +5°C. We recommend that the SPEED

COOL function is set (the refrigerator status bar continues to display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the compartment. After a few hours it will be cool enough for food to be placed inside.

There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator.

The very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm, due to the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts is released; this is completely normal. The amount produced by the device is very small and abates quickly as the antibacterial action takes place.

Navigating the display

Setting the temperatures:

If the product is switched on, the refrigerator and freezer compartment displays will indicate the temperature values set at that moment. To change them, simply press the and + buttons corresponding to the compartment for which you wish to change the set temperature. More specifically, each time the buttons are pressed, the temperature increases or decreases and the level of cold generated inside the compartment is adjusted accordingly.

The temperature values that may be selected for the refrigerator compartment are +8°C, +7°C, +6°C, +5°C, +4°C, +3°C and +2°C, while the values that may be set for the freezer are -18°C, -19°C,

-20°C, -21°C, -22°C, -24°C and -26°C.

When the HOLIDAY function is active the temperature may not be adjusted, however the appliance adjusts itself automatically so that the optimal settings for the situation are used: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment.

The activation of this function is indicated by the HOLIDAY LED lighting up.

To activate and deactivate the functions, simply press the relevant button; the function status will be signalled by the corresponding

LED on the keypad switching on or off.

Several of the functions ( SPEED COOL, QUICK FREEZE ) are incompatible with others ( HOLIDAY, ...); remember that there is a pre-established order of priority which will help you to operate the product in the best possible way.

AIR *

It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).

Device is activated pressing the dedicated switch located in right side of the Oxigen device.

With the Active Oxigen switched on, the device will operate a repeted cycle until the key is pressed again. There will be an Ozone emission noticed by the switching on of the green led located on the Active Oxigen device located in the fridge compartment and a stand-by cicle (without zone emission) noticed by blue light.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• Adjust the temperature using the display.

• Activate the SPEED COOL function to lower the temperature quickly, for example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge and the internal temperature rises slightly.

This function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.

• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never hot foods (see Precautions and tips).

• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.

• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

B

SHELVES: with or without grill.

Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable (see diagram), allowing easy storage of large containers and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of the shelf.

A

AIR maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been opened. The blown air (A) is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall, whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).

Food Care Zone

*

Area dedicated to the storage of fresh food, such as meat and fish. Thanks to the low temperature inside the compartment, the

Food Care Zone extends the period of time for which the food can be stored, keeping it fresh for up to a week.

*

Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain models.

Food Care Zone 0°C / Safe Defrost* : A compartment designed to keep delicate food such as meat and fish fresh. The low temperature in the compartment makes it possible to store the food for up to one week - tests performed on meat products - without changing its nutrients, appearance and flavour.

The compartment is also very suitable for healthy food defrosting, as low-temperature defrosting prevents any proliferation of microorganisms, while protecting its taste and organoleptic properties.

It is not suitable for fruit, vegetables and green salad. But it can be used for fresh or very fresh dairy products and milk, stuffed fresh pasta and even cooked food or leftovers..

in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the QUICK

FREEZE function again; it will be deactivated automatically after

24 hours.

• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within

24 hours).

• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.

• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment

(for example: Kg/24h: 4).

GB

FRESH BOX *

This is the new container, designed to keep various foods (such as cheese and cold meats) fresher for longer. If it is not needed, it can easily be removed from the refrigerator compartment. If there is a Bottle Shelf, more internal space can be created by placing the Fresh Box directly inside it.

TEMPERATURE Indicator light the refrigerator.

*

: to identify the coldest area in

1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).

! Do not open the door during freezing.

! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

! In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer compartment, you may remove the bins (with the exception of the bottom drawer) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:

1.Press the ON/OFF button to switch off the appliance.

2.Pull the plug out of the socket.

! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal operation, hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds. To disconnect the appliance, follow points 1 and 2 above.

2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has been stabilised.

3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.

LED

*

Thanks to the powerful light it emits, the new LED lighting system offers a clear view of all foods, with no shadowy areas. If the LED needs to be replaced, please contact the Technical Assistance

Service.

Cleaning the appliance

• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.

• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.

• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance.

Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly.

• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Adjust the temperature using the display.

• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.

• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate the QUICK FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

Disposal

• Observe local environmental standards when disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and

Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out

“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Precautions and tips

!

The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

This appliance complies with the following Community Directives:

- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments;

-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;

- 2002/96/CE.

General safety

• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food products by adults only and according to the instructions in this manual.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near heat sources.

• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.

• Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work continuously.

• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy.

• Defrost the appliance if ice forms ( see Maintenance ). A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult and results in increased energy consumption.
