Intelligent and Crushed Ice modes.
This appliance has a memory function which, in the event of a power failure,
automatically stores the operating mode that was last used and restores it when
the power is turned on again.
Operating modes

The Intelligent mode allows the appliance to achieve the
best and most energy-efficient cooling effect, regardless
of ambient temperature variations and without requiring
you to make any settings at all.

loading the refrigerator with foods only after it has
sufficiently cooled down.
Please note that changes in the temperature settings come into effect slowly.
This depends on variations of the ambient temperature, how frequently the
door is opened and the amount of foods loaded.
