FUNCTIONS

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:

This function is available only on the model with

User Interface on the door.

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

GREEN INTELLIGENCE

The 6th Sense/ Green Intelligence 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/ Green Intelligence function.

Therefore significant duration variations are quite normal.

ON/STAND BY

This function turns On/Stand-by the freezer compartments. To put the product in Stand-by, press & hold the On/Stand-by button for 3 seconds. When the appliance is in Stand-by, the light inside the refrigerator compartment does not work. Remember that this operation does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

To switch the appliance On again, simply press and hold for 3 seconds the On/Stand-By button .

20

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 turns on, the

Alarm indicator blinks and the acoustical alarm sounds when electricity is resupplied. To reset the alarm press the Stop Alarm button just once.

In case of Black Out Alarm, the following actions are recommended:

• If the food in the freezer is unfrozen but still cold, all the food in the freezer should be eaten within the next 24 hours.

• 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.

TEMPERATURE ALARM

The acoustic alarm sounds and temperature indicator (°C) blinks. The alarm is activated when:

• The appliance is connected to the power supply after prolonged disuse

• The freezer compartment temperature is too high

• The quantity of foods loaded into the freezer exceeds that indicated on the rating plate

• The freezer door has been left open for a long time.

To mute the alarm buzzer press Stop Alarm is button just once. The Alarm indicator automatically turned-off as soon as the freezer compartment reaches a temperature below

-10°C and the temperature set indicator (°C) stop blinking and shows the chosen setting.

NOTE: The temperature alarm may even be activated following prolonged opening of the door or after fresh food products have been placed in the freezing zone; the temporary increase in temperature signaled does not affect the perfect preservation of already frozen food.

DOOR OPEN ALARM

The Alarm icon lights up blinking and the acoustic alarm sounds. The alarm is activated when the door is left open for more than 2 minutes.

To disengage the door alarm close the door, or press once Stop Alarm button to mute the acoustic alarm.

KEY LOCK

This function prevents anyone from inadvertently changing settings or switching off the appliance.

To lock the keys, press Stop Alarm button for

3 seconds until the display shows the Key Lock indicator and an acoustic signal confirms the function has been selected. After 3s. indicator

goes off. When activated, pressing the other buttons (except Stop Alarm button) activates an audible signal and on display flashes the Key Lock indicator . Any alarm can be deactivated when

Key Lock function is active.

To unlock the keys, follow the same procedure until the display shows the Key Lock indicator and an acoustic signal confirms the function has been disengaged. After 1s. indicator goes off.

SHOCK FREEZE

The “Shock Freeze” compartment is specifically designed to freeze up to 2 kg of fresh food extremely quickly. The ultra-fast “Shock Freeze” function minimizes the formation of ice crystals inside the food as it freezes, thus ensuring it is of the best possible quality when defrosted prior to consumption. When the “Shock Freeze” function is not active, the compartment can be used as normal for traditional freezing or for the storage of already frozen foods.

NOTE: When the Shock Freeze function is active you may hear a humming sound. This is absolutely normal and is caused by airflow that permits optimum cold distribution inside compartment.

Activating and deactivating the “Shock

Freeze” function:

1. Make sure at least 12 hours have passed since the last time the “Shock Freeze” function was activated (if at all). Do not activate the function more frequently than once every 12 hours.

2.

Make sure that the “Fast Freeze” function is not active: “Shock Freeze” and “Fast Freeze” functions cannot be active together at the same time.

3.

Empty the “Shock Freeze” compartment.

4.

Activate the “Shock Freeze” function by briefly touching the button on the control panel: the icon lights up and the fans on the bottom of the compartment come on, increasing the flow of cold air and accelerating the freezing process as a result.

5.

Place the food to be frozen inside the compartment, a few centimeters (min. 2 cm) away from the fans on the bottom of the compartment, so that cold air can circulate.

6.

To achieve maximum freezing speed, we recommend not to deactivate the “Shock

Freeze” function until it is automatic deactivation, keeping closed the door.

Attention:

• Incompatibility with the “Fast Freeze” function

To guarantee optimal performance, the “Shock

Freeze” and “Fast Freeze” functions cannot be used at the same time. Therefore, if the “Fast

Freeze” function has been already engaged, it has to be disengaged first to activate the “Shock

Freeze” function (and vice-versa).

• If the fans in the Shock Freeze compartment do not start working

After the “Shock Freeze” function has been activated, it may happen that the indicator lights up as expected, but the fans do not start working. This is normal and means that freezer defrosting is in progress. At the end of the defrosting phase (maximum duration: 1.5 hours), the fans will automatically start working and the “Shock Freeze” process will begin as normal.

• If the indicator does not light up.

If, after the button is pressed, the icon lights up: in this case the button has been pressed for too long. To activate the “Shock

Freeze” function, briefly touch the button

, without keeping it pressed for more than 1 second.

FAST FREEZE

The amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance rating plate.

For optimum appliance performance, press for 3 seconds the Shock Freeze/Fast Freeze button

(until the Fast Freeze indicator lights up) 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer

(according to QUICK START GUIDE).

After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on

Fast Freeze function is generally sufficient; After

50 hours the Fast Freeze function automatically deactivates.

Attention: In order to save energy, when freezing small amounts of food, the fast freeze function can be deactivated after a few hours.

• Incompatibility with the “Shock Freeze” function

To guarantee optimal performance, the “Shock

Freeze” and “Fast Freeze” functions cannot be used at the same time. Therefore, if the “Fast

Freeze” function has been already engaged, it has to be disengaged first to activate the “Shock

Freeze” function (and vice-versa).

ECO NIGHT FUNCTION

(NIGHT TIME RATE)

The Eco Night function enables appliance energy consumption to be concentrated in the reduced rate hours (generally at night), when electricity is readily available and costs less than during the daytime (only in countries that utilise a time based multi-rate system - check energy rates with the local electricity company). To activate the function, press the button at the reduced rate start time (depending on the specific rates plan). For example, if the reduced rate starts at 8 p.m., press the button indicator at that time. When the Eco Night is ON, the function is ON. Once the function is activated, the appliance automatically adapts energy consumption according to the time selected, i.e. consuming less energy during the day than at night.

IMPORTANT: To operate properly, the function must be on during the night and day. The function remains on until deactivated (or it is deactivated in case of a power failure or appliance switch-off).

To deactivate the function, press the button again. When the Eco Night indicator is OFF, the function is OFF.

Note: The declared appliance energy consumption refers to operation with the Eco Night function deactivated.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

This product is designed to defrost automatically according to conditions of use and ambient humidity.

STORE FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

TIPS FOR FREEZING AND STORING FRESH

FOOD

• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food.

• Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food.

• Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavour.

Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it is frozen.

• Always observe the storage information on the package.

NOTE:

• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer.

• Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.

Do not re-freeze defrosted food.

Using Ice Packs

Ice packs helps in keeping frozen the foodstuffs in case of power failure. For the best usage of them, place them above food stored in the top of compartment

Classification of frozen foods

Put the frozen products into the freezer and classify them. The storage date should be indicated on the packs, to allow use within expiry dates preservation.

Advice for storing frozen food

When purchasing frozen food products:

• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged

(frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.

• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.

• Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer.

• If food has defrosted even partially, do not refreeze it. Consume within 24 hours.

• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package.

Important:

The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods.

Declared performance refers to appliance operation without ice packs, with the exception of the rising time.

TWIST ICE MAKER

HOW TO MAKE ICE CUBES

You can remove the complete Twist Ice Maker

(press and hold (1) the leveler on the left and push it (2) towards you) or you can just remove the ice cube tray by pulling it (3) towards you.

HOW TO TAKE ICE CUBES

1. Make sure that the storage bin is in place under the ice tray. If not, slide into place.

2.

Twist one of levers firmly in the clockwise direction until the tray twists slightly. The ice cubes fall into the storage bin.

or

Fill the tray with potable water (maximum level =

2/3 of the overall capacity).

or

Place again the Twist Ice Maker in its seat, or reinsert the ice cube tray within the Twist Ice

Maker. Take care not to spill water.

3.

Repeat Step 2 for the other half of the tray, if necessary. You can make ice cubes (see the chapter “HOW TO MAKE ICE CUBES”) and store them in the storage bin and pull it towards you.

4.

To get ice, slightly lift up the storage bin and pull it towards you.

NOTE: if you prefer, you can remove the entire

Twist Ice Maker from the appliance, to take the ice cubes wherever is convenient for you (for example: directly on the table).

or

Wait until the ice cubes are formed (it is recommended to wait for about 4 hours, with the

Fast Freeze option active).

NOTE: Twist Ice Maker is removable. It can be placed in horizontal position anywhere in the freezer compartment or taken out of the appliance when ice-making is not required.

24

NO USE OF THE APPLIANCE

Short vacation

There is no need to disconnect the appliance from the power supply if you will be away for less than three weeks. Use up perishable food, freeze other food.

Long vacation

Remove all the food if you are going away for three weeks or more.

1.

Empty the ice bucket.

Fix some wooden or plastic wedges to the upper part of both doors with adhesive tape and leave the doors open enough for air to circulate inside both compartments. This will prevent odour and mould from setting in.

Power failure

In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your electricity supply company and ask how long it is going to last.

Note : Bear in mind that a full appliance will stay cold longer than a partially filled one.

If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be frozen again, although flavour and aroma may be affected.

If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best to throw it away.

For power failures lasting up to 24 hours.

1.

Keep both doors of the appliance closed. This will allow the stored food to stay cold as long as possible.

Moving

1.

Take out all internal parts.

2.

Wrap them well, and fix them together with adhesive tape so that they do not bang together or get lost.

3.

Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not touch the support surface.

4.

Close and fix both doors with adhesive tape and, again using adhesive tape, fix the power cable to the appliance.

For power failures lasting more than 24 hours.

1.

Empty the freezer compartment and arrange the food in a portable freezer. If this type of freezer is not available and, likewise, no artificial ice packs are available, try to use up the food, which is more easily perishable.

2.

Empty the ice bucket.

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.

• 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 50mm. A reduction of this space will increase the Energy consumption of product.

• Insufficient ventilation on back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.

• The internal temperatures of the appliance may be affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.

• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.

• Do not obstruct the fan with food items.

• After placing the food check if the door of compartments closes properly, especially the freezer door.

• Reduce to a minimum door opening.

• When thawing frozen food, place them in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator.

• For appliances with special compartments (Fresh Food Compartment, Zero Degrees Box, …) they can be removed when not in use.

• Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).

• You can increase the storage capacity of frozen food by removing the flap and / or basket (according to the Product Sheet), maintaining the same energy consumption.

• The condenser (the coil placed in the rear of the appliance) should be cleaned regularly.

• Damaged or leaky gasket must be replaced as soon as possible.

25

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.

Periodically clean the appliance with a cloth and a solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent specifically for refrigerator interiors. Never use detergents or abrasives. Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Clean the outside of the appliance and the door seal with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use steam cleaners.

Clean the condenser (back the appliance) using a vacuum cleaner, proceeding as follows: remove the front plinth and proceed to clean the condenser.

Important:

• The buttons and control panel display must not be cleaned with alcohol or alcohol-derived substances, but with a dry cloth.

• The refrigeration system pipes are located near the defrost pan and can become hot.

Periodically clean them with a vacuum cleaner.

• To remove or insert the glass shelf, move up the front part of the shelf to pass the stopper..

LED LIGHT SYSTEM

The light system inside the freezer compartment uses LEDs light, allowing a better lightning as well as very low energy consumption. If the LED light system does not work, please contact the Service to replace it.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Before contacting After-sales Service…

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

Noises coming from your appliances are normal since it has a number of fans and engines to regulate performances that switch on and off automatically.

Some of the functional noises can be reduced through

- Levelling the appliance and installing it on an even surface

- Separating and avoiding contact between the appliance and furniture.

- Checking if the internal components are correctly placed.

- Checking if bottles and containers are not in contact with each other.

The appliance is not working:

Some of the functional noises you might hear:

A hissing sound when switching on the appliance for the first time or after a long pause.

A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluid enters into the pipes.

Buzzing sound when water valve or fan start working.

A cracking sound when compressor starts or when ready ice drops into ice box abrupt clicks when compressor switches on and off.

If there is water in the defrost pan:

• Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper voltage?

• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of the electrical system in your home?

• This is normal in hot, damp weather. The pan can even be half full. Make sure the appliance is level so that the water does not overflow.

• This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is running.

If the edges of the appliance cabinet, which come in contact with the door seal, are warm to the touch:

If the light does not work:

If the motor seems to run too much:

• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of the electrical system in your home?

• Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper voltage?

• Has the light bulb burnt out?

• Is the condenser (back the appliance) free of dust and fluff?

• Are the door properly closed?

• Are the door seals properly fitted?

• On hot days or if the room is warm, the motor naturally runs longer.

• If the appliance door has been left open for a while or if large amounts of food have been stored, the motor will run longer in order to cool down the interior of the appliance.

• Motor running time depends on different things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the temperature controls.

27

If the appliance temperature is too high:

If there is moisture build-up:

If the doors do not open and close properly:

• Are the appliance controls correctly set?

• Has a large amount of food been added to the appliance?

• Check that the door is not opened too often.

• Check that the door close properly.

• Make sure that air flow vents inside the compartment are not blocked, as this prevents the circulation of cold air.

• Make sure that air flow vents inside the compartment are not blocked, as this prevents the circulation of air.

• Make sure that the food is properly packaged. Dry any dampness on food containers before placing them in the appliance.

• Check that the doors are not opened too often. When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters the appliance. The more often the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very humid.

• If the room is very humid, it is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator.

• Check that food packages are not blocking the door.

• Check that the internal parts or automatic ice maker are not out of position.

• Check that the door seals are not dirty or sticky.

• Ensure the appliance is level.

Operations Alarms

In the event of operation alarms, they will also be displayed in the digits LEDs, (e.g. Failure1, Failure 2, etc...) call After-sales Service and specify the alarm code.
