[. . . ] ON/OFF The entire product (both the refrigerator and freezer compartments) may be switched on by pressing this button. The indicator light indicates that the product is off, even if it is still receiving power. Once the product has been switched on, this indicator light will no longer be visible. REFRIGERATOR - and + temperature adjustment Used to modify the temperature setting of the refrigerator; confirmation corresponding to the selected temperature appears on the display. [. . . ] 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 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. 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). Starting the appliance 22 OXY TECH * 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. 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. FOOD CARE ZONE * Area dedicated to the storage of fresh food, such as meat and fish. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER 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. € Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. 23 GB • 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). 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 During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: 1. To restore normal operation, hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds. Switching the appliance off Defrosting the freezer compartment If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. The day before defrosting, press the SUPER FREEZE button to further cool the food. The function is automatically disabled after 24 hours, or it may be disabled at any moment by pressing the SUPER FREEZE button again. [. . . ] The alarm sounds and TEMPERATURE ALARM flashes on the display (“A1” is displayed instead of the FREEZER temperature). The freezer will maintain a temperature of around 0°C so that the food will not refreeze, allowing you to eat it within 24 hours or to refreeze it after it has been cooked. To switch off the buzzer, open and close the appliance door or press the + and – freezer temperature adjustment buttons once. Press these buttons a second time to display the set value on the freezer display, switch off the TEMPERATURE ALARM LED and restore normal operation. [. . . ]
