BEFORE SWITCHING THE REFRIGERATOR ON: Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry carefully. Wait for 2 hours before starting, to ensure that the motor lubricants have stabilised. If the refrigerator has been switched off, wait 4 hours after restarting before placing food inside. 4. REFRIGERATOR OPERATION AND USE FOR DUAL ADJUSTMENT MODELS TEMPERATURE REGULATION: In normal conditions, the recommended approximate temperature is 4ºC in the refrigerator and about ­19ºC in the freezer. To regulate the temperature, use the temperature selection controls: temperatures are indicated in ºC. WARNING: The inside refrigerator temperature depends on: Room temperature. The location of the refrigerator. Door-opening frequency 7 CONTROL PANEL Refrigerator Temperature Selection Freezer Temperature Selection ALARM Cold level Holiday function SUPER COOLING SUPER FREEZING REFRIGERATOR FREEZER AND REFRIGERATOR CONNECTION FREEZER FUNCTIONS "Temperature selection" Turn the control to select the refrigerator and freezer temperatures in ºC. "Freezer and refrigerator connection" To switch the refrigerator and freezer on and off. Switching the freezer off will also switch the refrigerator off. There is an ON light. "SUPER COOLING" With this function running, the refrigerator temperature is regulated automatically to maximum cold for six hours. It switches off automatically but can also be turned off automatically before the 6 hours is up. "SUPER FREEZING" With this function running, the freezer temperature is automatically adjusted to maximum cold. This is to facilitate freezing of food and it is recommended that it is turned on 24 hours before introducing a large amount of food. The function will turn off automatically, and can also be switched off manually. "Warm alarm" A light and audio signal is activated if the freezer temperature is abnormally low. The audio alarm can be turned off manually using the SUPER FREEZING function. "Door open alarm" If either of the doors remain open for over 2 minutes, an alarm will sound periodically. This alarm will switch off when the doors are closed. 8 ENGLISH "Cold level" The number of lights on indicate freezer cold level. The more lights on, the colder the freezer. "Holiday Function" Used when you want the freezer to work normally and the refrigerator to be switched off when you do not plan to use it for a long period of time, such as, for example, during the holiday period. Before enabling this option, empty the refrigerator, clean it and close the door. Then activate this function to ensure that your refrigerator is maintained in optimum conditions to avoid generating unpleasant odours. When you come back from your holidays, simply deactivate the function and the temperature in the refrigerator will drop once again to pre-selected level. 5. REFRIGERATOR OPERATION AND USE FOR FOR SINGLE ADJUSTMENT MODELS TEMPERATURE REGULATION: In normal conditions we recommend selecting a temperature of about 4ºC. To set the temperature, use the temperature selector control; the numerical values are in ºC. WARNING: The inside refrigerator temperature depends on: Room temperature. The location of the refrigerator. Door-opening frequency CONTROL PANEL Temperature Selection Connection SUPER COOLING Alarm 9 FUNCTIONS "Temperature Selection" Turn the control to select the refrigerator temperature in ºC. "Connection " This is for switching the refrigerator on and off. It has an ON light. "SUPER COOLING" With this function running, the refrigerator temperature is regulated automatically to maximum cold for six hours. It switches off automatically but can also be turned off automatically before the 6 hours is up. "Door open alarm" If either of the doors remain open for over 2 minutes, an alarm will sound periodically. This alarm will switch off when the doors are closed. HOW TO OPTIMISE FREEZER TEMPERATURES To achieve maximum freezer performance, the refrigerator is equipped with a freezer temperature optimizer, located in the top part of the refrigerator. If the optimizer control is placed in the right part: - This is sufficient for normal functioning situations. - Maximum cold is directed to the freezer during the freezing process. - Sufficient temperatures are reached in the freezer when the ambient temperature of the room in which the appliance is installed is relatively low (below 16ºC). ""FREEZING" - Place the optimizer control in the left part. The freezer temperature will then go to its coldest level. This makes freezing food easier and it is recommendable to do this 24 hours beforehand if a large amount of food is to be placed in the freezer. 24 hours after the food has been placed in the freezer, place the optimizer control in the right part of the refrigerator again. 10 ENGLISH If the optimizer control is placed in the left part: 6. CORRECT USE OF THE APPLIANCE REFRIGERATOR Leave enough space between food items to let air to flow around them. Do not leave the door open longer than necessary. Do not put hot food in the refrigerator. Do not obstruct the ventilation grilles. To prevent foodstuffs stored from drying out, we recommend that you place them in an airtight container or wrapped them in aluminium foil or plastic food wrap. MULTIFRESH SYSTEM If your refrigerator has a Multifresh compartment: This guarantees ideal conservation of fresh food such as meat and fish, and also vegetables, allowing these items to be conserved for longer periods of time without having to freeze them. This area has the coldest temperatures in the refrigerator and is also the area least affected by frequent opening. For meat and fish, an intermediate refrigerator temperature is recommended. For greater capacity in the refrigerator, remove the top rack and cover, and store directly on the tray. This area loses the benefits outlined above. CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONING In case of very demanding conditions of use with high temperatures and high ambient humidity, the refrigerator is designed to enable continuous functioning. 11 FREEZER: The amount of food to be frozen at once must not exceed the freezing power indicated on the specifications plate. Ensure that your food to be frozen is in good conditions. Observe the best-by date. To prevent the food from drying out, wrap it in aluminium foil or plastic film. Do not put food to be frozen in contact with food already frozen. Never refreeze thawed food. Freeze in daily servings. Do not store bottles with carbonated drinks or glass bottles containing liquids in the freezer. They may burst. Do not eat very cold ice-cream or food: this may burn the mouth. Label the wrapping, indicating the content and the freezing date. To improve the refrigerator's energetic performance, it is recommended to keep the ice cube trays full at all times. ICE-MAKING: Fill the trays in the freezer up to three quarters, with water. Place the trays in the freezer. Once the water has frozen, the cubes can be removed by twisting the tray slightly. 12 ENGLISH DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER. No-Frost refrigerators do not generate layers of frost or ice, which means that no operations are required for their elimination. DEFROSTING FOOD Not all food should be defrosted in the same way If you have bought frozen food, follow the instructions on the pack. Vegetables should be cooked directly. In general, prepared or pre-cooked foods can be cooked directly. Meat and fish must be defrosted slowly in the refrigerator over several hours. If you have a microwave, this can speed this considerably. 7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING: Before starting cleaning, switch the refrigerator off using the switches. Clean the interior with water or bicarbonate of soda, with the help of a sponge or cloth: this will prevent the formation of odours. Never use steam cleaning machines, solvents or abrasive detergents, which may damage the inside of your refrigerator. Do not place the inside fittings in the dishwasher. It is recommended that the rear grill be cleaned once year using a vacuum cleaner: if it is dusty and dirty, that reduces the refrigerator's performance and increases its consumption. CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB Switch off the refrigerator using the ON/OFF button on the control panel. Remove the light reflector cover by pressing the inner tab. Remove the old light bulb and replace it with another of the same type, E14 thread, 220-240 V and max. 15 W. Start the refrigerator up again using the ON/OFF button. 13 WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A POWER OUTAGE: If possible, do not open the refrigerator doors. When power is restored, check to see if the food has unfrozen. Consume any defrosted food immediately. Do not re-freeze! WHAT TO DO IF THE REFRIGERATOR IS NOT TO BE USED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME: Empty the refrigerator. Unplug and clean the unit as described above, and turn the light off at the switch. If you have a "Dual adjustment" refrigerator, it will be equipped with a holiday function. Vacation function: If your refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period but you wish to keep food frozen in the freezer, you can turn the refrigerator section off and leave it closed: the appliance will continue to function with very low consumption, without causing odours inside. 8. NORMAL REFRIGERATOR NOISE The refrigerating gas may produce bubbling sounds as it flows through the circuits. The compressor may buzz and/or produce slight knocking, which may be more marked on starting. Cracking sounds produced contraction of the materials used. The insulation used amplifies sound levels. · You may hear a gentle murmur whwn your refrigerator is switched on. This is due to the working of a fan incorporated to ensure adequate air circulation inside the appliance. In the freezers of No-Frost refrigerators, the effect will be noted of the ventilator running to cool and to eliminate frost. 14 by expansion and ENGLISH 9.
