Remove the packaging
intended for protecting the
appliance or particular parts
during transport.
Spacers are fitted on the
corners of the doors.
Remove them and insert the
supplied plugs into their slots
(only in some models).
IMPORTANT NOTES AND
PRECAUTIONS
Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, please
read carefully the instructions for use which describe the
appliance and its correct and safe use. The instructions
apply to several appliance types/models; thus, settings or
equipment may be described herein which is not available
in your appliance. We recommend saving this instruction
manual for future reference and attach it to the appliance if
it is sold in the future.
The instruction manual includes the NO FROST version/
model of the freezer which is fitted with a fan and in which the
defrosting process is automatic (only with some models).
Check for any damage or irregularities on your appliance. If
you find your appliance is damaged, notify the retailer from
which you have purchased the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to the power mains, let
the appliance rest in a vertical position for a minimum of 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of operation faults due
to the effect of transport on the cooling system.

SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON/OFF
Switching the appliance on: Switch on the
appliance by briefly pressing the key A.
With this model, it is possible to only switch
on the freezer compartment while the
refrigerator compartment is switched off.
This setting can be made in two ways:
- briefly press the Fkey to switch on the
freezer compartment only; or
- first briefly press the Akey to switch on
the entire appliance. Then, press and hold
(for three seconds) the Akey to switch
off the refrigerator compartment.
When the Akey is pressed again, the
refrigerator compartment will be switched
back on.
Switching off the appliance: To switch off
the appliance, press and hold (for three
seconds) the key F(caution: appliance
will remain powered, i.e. there will still be
electric current in the appliance).
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
• To set the temperature in the refrigerator compartment use the keys D:
lower temperature ; higher temperature.
• Temperature in the refrigerator compartment can be set from +1°C to +9°C.
• After one of the Dkeys is pressed, the most recent temperature setting will flash on
the display E. Use the Dkeys to set the desired temperature. Three seconds after the
last key was pressed, the most recent temperature setting is stored for the refrigerator
compartment.
• Recommended setting is 4°C.

19
578819
• To set the temperature in the freezer
compartment use the keys I:
lower temperature ;
higher temperature.
• Temperature in the freezer compartment
can be set from -24°C to -16°C.
• After one of the Ikeys is pressed, the most
recent temperature setting will flash on the
display J. Use the Ikeys to set the desired
temperature. Three seconds after the last key
was pressed, the most recent temperature
setting is stored for the freezer compartment.
• Recommended setting is -18°C.
FREEZER BOOST FUNCTION (SUPER FREEZE)
• Use this setting after switching on
the appliance for the first time, before
cleaning, or 24 hours before inserting a
large amount of food.
Switching on the freezer boost (super
freeze) function: Press the Hkey. FF will
appear on the display J.
If the freezer boost is not deactivated
manually, it will be automatically switched
off after approximately 2 days. Then the
temperature of the freezer compartment
returns to the most recently set value.
EXTREME FREEZING (UPPER DRAWER OF THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT)
• In order to quickly freeze fresh food, use the
XtremeFreeze function that is only active in
the upper drawer of the freezer compartment.
It involves intensive blowing of cool air in
that part of the appliance. Faster freezing will
retain more vitamins, minerals, and nutrients
in the food for a longer period of time.
Switching on the freezer boost
(XtremeFreeze) function: Press the Hkey
an hold it for at least 3 seconds. EF will
appear on the display J.

20
578819
• With this setting, the compressor will operate continuously and the temperature in the
freezer compartment will drop considerably.
• If the setting is not deactivated manually (by pressing the »H« key), it will be deactivated
automatically after approximately one day. Freezer compartment temperature will return
to the most recent setting.
• Use this setting for freezing smaller amounts of food (up to 2 kilograms) in the upper
drawer. When freezing a large amount of food, the setting should be activated 12 hours
before the food is placed in the freezer.
• Use this setting after switching on the appliance for the first time, before cleaning, or
before inserting a large amount of food.
Switching on the refrigerator boost (super cool) function: Press the Ckey.
If the function is not deactivated manually, it will be deactivated automatically after
approximately six hours. Refrigerator compartment temperature will return to the most
recent setting.
REFRIGERATOR BOOST (SUPER COOLING)
(REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT)
HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM
If the temperature inside the appliance is
too high, acoustic alarm will be activated
(intermittent tone) and the Bkey will flash.
• Acknowledge and turn o the acoustic
alarm by pressing the Bkey.
• The acoustic alarm will be activated
every 24 hours if the temperature in the
appliance is not low enough and there is
danger of food spoilage. The alarm will be
switched o automatically as soon as the
temperature in the freezer drops to a level
that no longer presents spoilage hazard.
• When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there is a 24-hour delay in
temperature alarm operation since the appliance will not have reached the adequate
temperature. Thus, unnecessary activation of alarm is prevented.
Open refrigerator door alarm: if the refrigerator or freezer compartment door is open for
more than 2 minutes, acoustic alarm will be activated and the Bkey will flash. When the door is
closed, the alarm will be deactivated. It can also be switched off by pressing the Bkey.
