FREEZER TEMPERATURE SETTING

To regulate the temperature in the freezer compartment use Freezer operation button. The temperature of the freezer is consisted with 4 levels as indicated on serigraphy (signaled by led light).

Recommended setting for the freezer is -18°C.

SUPER FREEZE FUNCTION

This function is recommended for freezing fresh food. Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible, for the best possible preservation and for keeping its nutritional value. Press the Super

Freeze button when you need to freeze fresh food; the Super Freeze indicator will come on.

We recommend you press the Super Freeze button 24 hours before putting the food in, in order to prepare the freezer compartment for the best possible freezing conditions. We recommend you use the bottom drawer to maximize the freezing capacity.

The Super Freeze function is automatically deactivated after 48 hours, or you can disable it manually by pressing the Fast Freeze button.

FRIDGE TEMPERATURE SETTING

Recommended setting for the refrigerator compartment is +4°C.

ACTIVE OXYGEN FUNCTION

Activate or deactivate Active Oxygen function by pressing the Active

Oxygen button. The light of the Active Oxygen is on when activated.

This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator. Ozone is a natural substance which reduces their proliferation of microorganisms while limiting unpleasant odors.

There may be a slight distinctive smell 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 defined within the safe range to use the product.

Note: The Active Oxygen together with Refrigerator operation button can enable ECOPlus function.

ECOPLUS FUNCTION

The ECOPlus function can be enabled to optimize energy consumption.

Press and hold down the Active Oxygen together with Refrigerator operation button simultaneously for at least 6 seconds to enable this function. On enabling the function, 4 indicator lights will go on for 2 seconds: Active Oxygen light, Super Freeze light and two temperature lights - one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer.

After 5 seconds the interface will enter the energy saving mode and the indicator lights will go off. The interface stays off even when the door is opened. Just press any button to switch it on again. Press the adjustment buttons to change the temperature.

To disable the ECOPlus function, switch off the product.

In humid environments, when the ECOPlus function is enabled, slight condensation may form on the doors; normal operating conditions are restored when the function is disabled.

LED LIGHT

This product contains a light source of energy efficiency class F.

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

REFRIGERATION 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.

Multi-fresh Zone (drawer)*

You can customize the temperature in the Multi-fresh Zone (b) to preserve the type of food you place inside as best possible.

Turn the knob on the drawer to set the food type:

• Fish and meat*

• Cheese and dairy products

• Fruit and vegetables

Note: we recommend you do not put fish and meat inside the drawer at the same time unless they are properly packed, to avoid cross contamination.

Foldable shelf*

This shelf can be used in three different ways:

1. Full-depth, to use the entire surface.

2. Half-depth, to use the rear part and at the same time create space for taller items (like bottles and jugs) on the shelf below. To adjust the shelf to half-depth, slightly raise the front part then pull it in.

3. Flipped up if you need to make space for tall or bulky items on

Humidity Control*

Turn the knob to the left if you are storing vegetables (for which a more humid environment is recommended), rotate the knob to the right if you are storing fruit (for which a less humid environment is recommended), turn the knob to the middle if you are storing a mixture of fruit and vegetables.

the shelf below. To flip the shelf up, first adjust it to the halfway position from half-depth. Flip the shelf down to go back to using it in half-depth and full-depth.

* Available only on certain models

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Total No Frost freezers provide chilled air circulation around the storage areas, and prevent the formation of ice, thereby completely eliminating the need for defrosting.

Frozen items don’t stick to the walls, labeling stays legible and storage space remains neat and clear.

The freezer compartment allows for the storage of frozen food and the freezing of fresh food. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a specific time period is indicated on the rating plate. Arrange the fresh food in the freezing area inside the freezer compartment, leaving enough space around it to allow air to circulate freely. Avoid allowing fresh food to come into direct contact with frozen food. Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves etc..

ACCESSORIES*

EGG TRAY ICE TRAY

Make sure that these components can still close easily after loading.

The freezing zone's drawer/compartment is shown in the picture above. To optimize freezing speed and get more storage space, the freezer compartment can be used without the freezer drawers and the food can be placed directly on the bottom of the compartment.

To avoid food waste, please refer to the recommended setting and storage found in the online user manual.

Ice cubes

Fill 2/3 of the ice tray with water and place it back in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice.

BOTTLE RACK FOLDABLE SHELF

GENERAL INFORMATION

The drawers, baskets, and shelves should be kept in their current position unless otherwise specified in this quick guide.
