Use of the fridge compartment
Temperature regulation
The temperature of this compartment may be
regulated by rotating the knob (F), and may vary
between more or less +2°C and +8°C.
When the knob is rotated, the display flashes and
indicates the set temperature. After having set the
desired temperature, if the knob is not rotated within
5 seconds, the temperature of the freezer
compartment will be indicated.
The temperature is automatically regulated and can
be increased to achieve a higher temperature
(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward
●
settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob
towards ● settings.
However, the exact setting should be chosen
keeping in mind that the temperature inside the
refrigerator depends on:
• room temperature;
• how often the door is opened;
• the quantity of food stored;
• location of appliance.
To shut off the refrigerator compartment, rotate the
knob (F) anticlockwise till position "O". In this
position the word "OF" is indicated for 5 seconds.
The freezer compartment will keep on working.
We suggest placing the knob in the middle position to
obtain an internal temperature of approximately +5° C.
Once the refrigerator compartment is shut off, the
only temperature which is indicated is that of the
freezer compartment. In this condition, the functions
minidac and shopping cannot be activated, and the
lighting in the refrigerator compartment will be
switched off.
Shopping Function
If you need to insert a large amount of warm food, for
example after doing the grocery shopping, we suggest
activating the Shopping function to chill the products
more rapidly and to avoid warming the other food
which is already in the refrigerator.
The shopping function is activated by pressing key E
(several times if necessary) until the corresponding
icon appears
The shopping function shuts off automatically after
approximately 6 hours.
During the shopping function also the fan inside the
refrigerator compartment is automatically activated.
Note: the fan inside the refrigerator compartment is
automatically activated also when the room
temperature is high (over 38°C), even though the
shopping function is not activated.
It is possible to de-activate the function at any time by
pressing key E (see paragraph "Function Activation").
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator;
• cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely
around it.
Switching off
The appliance is shut off by pressing key (A) for more
than 1 second. After this, a countdown of the
temperature from -3 -2 -1 will be shown.
When the appliance is shut off, display (D) also goes
off.
Activation of functions
Each time key E is pressed, the following functions are
activated in a clockwise direction:
Symbol 5 : fast freeze function
Symbol 6 : minidac function
Symbol 7 : shopping function
No Symbol: Normal operation
Not more than one function can be activated at a time;
to de-activate the functions, press the key several
times until no icon appears
Important
If the ambient temperature is high or the
appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to form on the rear
wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher
temperature to allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consumption.
