Installation

! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read
these operating instructions carefully. They contain important
information for safe use, for installation and for care of the
appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference.
Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.
Positioning and connection
Positioning
1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.
2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.
3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of
the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm
between the sides and any furniture/side walls.
4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat
(direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).
5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the
appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in
the installation kit, following the instructions provided.
Levelling
1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator
by tightening or loosening the front feet.
Electrical connections
After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the
electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical
socket ensure the following:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the
law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on
the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).
• The voltage must be in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side
(e.g. 220-240V).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If
the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised
technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do not use
extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply
cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.

Start-up and use

Starting the appliance
! After transportation of the appliance, carefully place it in an
upright position and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to
the electricity mains, to make sure it operates as it should.
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator well using warm water
and bicarbonate of soda before placing food inside it.
• The appliance comes with a motor protection control system
which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes
after being switched on. The compressor also starts each
time the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or
involuntarily (blackout).
Freezer Compartment
When the product is switched on the freezer compartment is
set to its default value We recommend that the QUICK FREEZE
function is set 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.
Refrigerator Compartment
When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator
compartment is set to its default value 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.
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 "I-CARE" function is active, the appliance
automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the
conditions inside and outside the refrigerator, in order to
minimise the amount of energy consumed; the activation of this
function is signalled by the I-CARE LED on the keypad lighting
up.
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 ( QUICK FREEZE, SPEED COOL,
I-CARE) 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.
Child Lock
To activate the Child Lock function, press and hold the Child
Lock button for 2 sI-CAREnds; the activation of this button
lock is confirmed by a short beep and the illumination of the
corresponding LED on the keypad. To deactivate the function,
press and hold the Child Lock button for 2 sI-CAREnds;
deactivation will be confirmed by a short beep and by the
corresponding LED switching off.
