Product Description

First Time Use

Wait at least two hours after installation before connecting the appliance to the power supply. Connecting the appliance to the power supply starts its operation automatically. The ideal storage temperatures for food are preset at the factory.

After turning the appliance on, wait for 4-6 hours for the correct storage temperature to be reached for a normally filled appliance. Position the antibacterial anti-odour filter in the fan as demonstrated in the filter packaging (if available). If an audible signal sounds, it means the temperature alarm has intervened: press the ⚙️ button to switch off the acoustic alarms.

Control Panel

Control Panel Elements:

1. Freezer and refrigerator compartment temperature indicator
2. Fast cool button
3. 6th Sense Fresh Control and Fan indicator
4. On/stand-by button
5. Alarm indicator
6. Turning off the sound alarm button
7. Black out alarm indicator
8. Temperature button

6th Sense Fresh Control

This function automatically helps the appliance reach the optimal internal preservation temperature. The 6th Sense Fresh Control also manages the appliance's humidity. For correct operation, the fan must be turned on. The function can be turned on/off (see Fan description).

Fan

The fan improves temperature distribution inside the product, allowing better preservation of stored food and reducing excess humidity. By default, the fan is switched on. You can turn the fan on/off by pressing the Stand-by and Fast Cooling buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The lit 6th Sense Fresh Control symbol indicates that the fan is on, and therefore the 6th Sense Fresh Control function is active. If the ambient temperature exceeds 27°C, or if water droplets are present on the glass shelves, it is essential to have the fan on to ensure proper food preservation. Deactivating the fan allows for optimized energy consumption.

Note: The fan restarts automatically after a power cut or after turning the appliance off. Do not obstruct the air intake area with food items.

Antibacterial Filter

Remove the filter from the box placed in the Fruit and vegetable drawer and insert it into the fan cover. The replacement procedure is included in the filter box.

On/Stand-by

Press the button for 3 seconds to turn the appliance off (the control panel and light will remain off). Briefly press the button again to reactivate the appliance.

Note: This does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Freezer and Refrigerator Compartment Temperature

You can set a different temperature for the appliance by pressing the "Temp." button.

LEDs and Set Temperature:

LEDs lit: High (less cold)
LEDs lit: Medium-high
LEDs lit: Medium
LEDs lit: Medium-low
LEDs lit: Low (colder)

Fast Cool

Press the button for 3 seconds to quickly cool the refrigerator compartment or 6 hours before placing large quantities of food in the freezer compartment. The icon lights up when the function is active. The function turns off automatically after 36 hours, or manually by pressing the button again for 3 seconds.

Note: Avoid direct contact between fresh food and already frozen food.

Turning Off the Sound Alarm

To turn off the sound alarm, briefly press the ⚙️ button.

* Available only on certain models

Stop Frost System

The STOP FROST SYSTEM facilitates the defrost procedure for the freezer compartment. The STOP FROST accessory is designed to collect some of the frost that forms in the freezer compartment and is easy to remove and clean, thus reducing the time needed to defrost the freezer compartment.

To remove frost from the STOP FROST accessory, follow the cleaning procedure demonstrated below.

Procedure to Clean the Stop Frost Accessory

Open the freezer compartment door and remove the upper drawer.
Unfasten the STOP FROST accessory and remove it, taking care not to drop it on the glass shelf below.
Close the door of the freezer compartment.
Remove the frost on the accessory by rinsing it under running water (not hot).
Allow the accessory to drip dry and dry the plastic parts with a soft cloth.
Reinsert the accessory by placing the back part on the projections shown in the figure, then refasten the handle of the accessory to the clasps above.
Reinsert the upper drawer and close the door of the freezer compartment.

It is possible to clean the STOP FROST accessory on its own without completely defrosting the freezer compartment. Regular cleaning of the STOP FROST accessory helps reduce the need to completely defrost the freezer compartment.

Note: Product specifications, including volume and energy, are calculated without the STOP FROST accessory.
