Use 3 Using the appliance 3.1 Information about New Generation Cooling Technology Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a different operating system to static fridges. Other (static) fridges may experience a build up of ice in the freezer compartment due to door openings and humidity in the food. In such fridges, regular defrosting is required; the fridge must be switched off, the frozen food moved to a suitable container and the ice which has formed in the freezer compartment removed.
Use Once you have plugged in the product, all symbols will be displayed for 2 seconds and the initial values will be shown as -18 °C on the freezer adjustment indicator, and +4 °C on the refrigerator adjustment indicator. 3.3.1 Freezer temperature settings • The initial temperature value for the freezer setting indicator is -18 °C. • Press the freezer set button once. When you first press the button, the previous value will blink on the screen.
Use During Super Freeze Mode: • The temperature of the Refrigerator may be adjusted. In this case, Super Freeze mode will continue. • Economy mode cannot be selected. • Super Freeze mode can be cancelled in the same way it is selected. Notes: • The maximum amount of fresh food (in kilograms) that can be frozen within 24 hours is shown on the appliance label. • For optimal appliance performance in maximum freezer capacity, activate super freeze mode 3 hours before you put fresh food into the freezer.
Use • It is not recommended that you operate your appliance in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency. • Do not start another adjustment while you are already making an adjustment. • Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the appliance and the ambient temperature in the location of your appliance.

Use 3.5.6 Maxi-fresh preserver (If available) Maxi Fresh Preserver technology helps to remove ethylene gas (a bioproduct released naturally from fresh foods) and unpleasant odors from the fruit and vegetable drawer. In this way, food stays fresh for a longer time. • Maxi Fresh Preserver must be cleaned once in a year. The filter should be waited for 2 hours at 65°C in a oven. • To clean the filter, please remove the back cover of the filter box by pulling it in the direction of the arrow.
4 Food storage 4.1 Refrigerator compartment For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the refrigerator compartment to +4 or +6 °C. • To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting. • Never place warm food in the refrigerator.
Use Note: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.
• • • • bable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated. The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
