IMPORTANTWARNING
Whenever the product has been lying horizontally during
transportation, it should be left to stand upright for at least six
hours before it is switched on, otherwise it may be noisy when
it is in operation.
IMPORTANT
Before plugging the appliance in, make sure that the power
supply voltage corresponds to the value shown on the product
data plate. Plug the appliance into the electricity mains supply.
The display will flash, showing the default temperature set by
the manufacturer (-16°C):
After a few seconds the display will show the actual temperature
of the refrigerator compartment. If the symbol “--” appears on
the display, the appliance is plugged in but switched off.
SWITCHINGTHE APPLIANCE ON
Switch the product on by touching the symbol for at least 0.5
seconds.
During operation, the temperature inside the refrigerator appears
on the display, which can indicate temperature values of between
+20°C and -40°C. Temperatures of over +20°C inside the
refrigerator (for example, +21°C), are indicated on the display
by the letter“H”:The temperature may be set to a value between
-16°C and -24°C.To switch off the product, touch the symbol
for 5 seconds.
SETTINGTHETEMPERATURE
The temperature may be adjusted by touching the symbol; it
may be set to a value between -16°C and -40°C.
When the refrigerator is switched on, if you touch the symbol
the set temperature value will flash on the display for 6 seconds.
To set a new temperature, touch the symbol and, while the
display is flashing, touch the same symbol repeatedly until the
desired temperature value has been reached; the new setting
will be stored after the display has stopped flashing (6 seconds).
N.B.: an option should be selected after taking into account
the frequency with which the door is opened,the temperature
of the room in which the appliance is installed and the
quantity of food contained inside the product.
For room temperatures of between 20 to 25°C, we
recommend setting the freezer temperature at -18°C.
CHECKINGTHE PROGRAMMEDTEMPERATURE
If you touch the symbol just once, the programmed temperature
will flash on the display for 6 seconds; after this the actual
temperature inside the refrigerator compartment will be displayed.
The set functions remain stored in the memory of the appliance,
even after they have been switched off or disconnected from the
electricity supply; when they are switched back on again the
temperature value set most recently will flash on the display for
6 seconds.
SUPER FUNCTION
The Super function was designed to reduce the temperature
inside the refrigerator compartment in the shortest possible time;
if you touch the text “SUPER”for at least 0.5 seconds the function
will be activated for a period of 30 hours, during which time the
text “SUPER” will be lit up in white.After this 30-hour period, the
Super function will be deactivated automatically. However, if you
wish to manually deactivate the function before the 30-hour
period has elapsed, simply touch the text “SUPER” for at least
0.5 seconds; when the function has been deactivated the text
“SUPER” will no longer be illuminated. While the appliance is

MALFUNCTION MANAGEMENT
If the symbol “-E” o “E-” flashes on the display, the refrigerator
will continue to operate normally for a few days but you should
contact the Technical Assistance Centre as soon as possible.
DOOR OPEN ALARM
Every time the door is opened the symbol is illuminated in
white, in a fixed manner. If the door has been open for over 2
minutes, the“DOOR OPEN”alarm is activated;it may be disabled
in one of the 2 following ways:
- if the door is closed, the audible and visible alarms are
deactivated;
- if the symbol is touched, the audible alarm is deactivated
but the illuminated white visible alarm signal willflash instead
of being a fixed light.
FREEZERTEMPERATURE ALARM
The alarm function was designed with the aim of warning the
user that, due to some external cause (for example, a power
cut, the door has been left open, etc.) the food kept in the freezer
compartment has reached a temperature higher than +1°C and
has therefore completely thawed out.
In this case, the freezer temperature alarm mode is enabled
and flashes on the display, along with the highest temperature
detected inside the compartment;the ALARM text is illuminated
in red and the audible alarm is also activated.
The display memory(maximum temperature reached) is important
because, if power is cut off and then restored, the appliance will
continue operating as normal;this could result in food which had
previously thawed out being refrozen.
PRE-ALARM MODE AND FREEZERTEMPERATURE
PRE-ALARM INDICATION
The pre-alarm mode is activated when the temperature inside
the freezer compartment reaches a value higher than -12°C (for
example, -11°C).This may occur in the following situations:
- a large amount of unfrozen food has been placed in the
freezer (see freezing modes);
- the door has been open for an extended period of time;
- the electricity supply has been cut off for a prolonged period
of time;
- the appliance has malfunctioned.
The pre-alarm mode is indicated by the temperature appearing
intermittently on the freezer display, by the flashing white ALARM
symbol and by the audible alarm. The audible alarm may be
disabled by touching the ALARM text;in this case the pre-alarm
mode indicator of the flashing temperature on the display remains
active and the ALARM text will remain lit in a fixed manner
instead of flashing.The pre-alarm mode is disabled automatically,
but only when the temperature of the freezer compartment falls
below -12°C; at this point the ALARM text will no longer be
illuminated, while the temperature will stop flashing and remain
lit in a fixed manner on the display.

Magnet position
At the internal upper part of the door cover
for the freezer compartment is mounted the
magnet that when move under the control
panel sends the signal to the reed to stop the
motorfan in the freezer compartment and to
start it again at the closing of the door.
Reed position
On the electronic module inside the control
panel is mounted the reed that receive the
signal from the magnet when the door
is opening: the magnet is placed inside
the upper cover of the freezer door.
The signal, when the freezer door is
opening, stops the fan in the freezer
compartment.
(reed and magnet postion)
Components description
Procedure of checking in case of malfunctioning.
To check the right functionning of the reed on the electronic module for this appliance we can proceed
as follows:
- When the door is opened, move a magnet the nearest possible to the reed position to check if the
reed detects the signal of the magnet. The symbol "opened door" on the module must switch off when
the magnet is in front of the reed and the motorfan must instead start again if compressor is running.
In case that no signals are detected will be necessary to replace the reed.
Check for the presence of the magnet inside the upper cover of the door by moving another magnet
or a metallic object the nearest possible to the magnet position on the door: in case of absence of
the
magnet inside the cover of the door no signal could be sent to the reed every time the door is closed.
