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 ON/OFF button is
pressed for more than two seconds) the freezer
compartment is set to its default value of -18°C. We
recommend that the SUPER 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.
Refrigerator Compartment
When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator
compartment is set to its default value of +5°C. We
recommend that the SUPER 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
status bars will indicate the temperatures 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 one of the buttons is pressed the temperature is
increased or decreased by 1°, and the level of cold is
adjusted accordingly.The temperature values that may be
selected for the refrigerator compartment are +12°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, -120°C, -21°C,
-22°C, -24°C and -26°C.
The temperatures are automatically set to +5°C for the
refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer
compartment (these are standard food storage values.
When the “I Care” function is active, the appliance
automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the
conditions inside and outside the refrigerator; the operation
of this function is signalled by the text “AUTO”.
Whenever it is necessary to activate the “I Care” function at
temperatures that are different to the standard storage
values, the “I Care” button must be pressed as soon as the
function is activated and held down while the new
temperatures are set using the and buttons. Under
these conditions, the temperatures may be set to 4°C, 5°C
and 6°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C, -19°C
and -20°C for the freezer compartment.
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. This function is indicated by the
text.
To activate and deactivate the functions simply press the
relevant button and the function status will be signalled by
the corresponding LED switching on or off.
Several functions (SUPER COOL, SUPER FREEZE, ICE
PARTY, I CARE) are incompatible with others
(HOLIDAY,...); remember that there is a pre-set order of
priority which will help you to use the product in the best
possible way.
When the Ice Party function has finished, press the ICE
PARTY button to stop the corresponding LED from flashing
and to silence the sound signal. This flashing and sound
signal indicates that the function is complete and that the
bottle should be removed from the freezer compartment.

button must be pressed for 2 seconds; the activation of the
button lock is confirmed by a short beep and the illumination
of the corresponding LED.
To deactivate the function, press the Child Lock button for 2
seconds; deactivation will be confirmed by a short beep and
by the corresponding LED switching off.
