[. . . ] Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following: • The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law. € The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance (this is indicated on the data plate in the bottom left section of the refrigerator compartment), for example 150 W). € The voltage is in the range of values indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left section (e. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). [. . . ] We recommend that the SUPER FREEZE function is set (the freezer status bar continues to display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the compartment; when the inside of the compartment has reached its optimal temperature the function will be deactivated and the food may be placed inside. Refrigerator Compartment When the appliance is switched on the refrigerator compartment is set to its default value of +5°C. We recommend that the SUPER COOL function is set (the refrigerator status bar continues to display the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the compartment. After a few hours it will be cool enough for food to be placed inside. The temperatures are automatically set to +5°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment (these are standard food storage values. When the “I Care” function is active, the appliance automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the conditions inside and outside the refrigerator; the operation of this function is signalled by the text “AUTO”. Whenever it is necessary to activate the “I Care” function at temperatures that are different to the standard storage values, the “I Care” button must be pressed as soon as the function is activated and held down while the new and buttons. Under temperatures are set using the these conditions, the temperatures may be set to 4°C, 5°C and 6°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C, -19°C and -20°C for the freezer compartment. When the HOLIDAY function is active the temperature may not be adjusted, however the appliance adjusts itself automatically so that the optimal settings for the situation are used: +12°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment. To activate and deactivate the functions simply press the relevant button and the function status will be signalled by the corresponding LED switching on or off. Several functions (SUPER COOL, SUPER FREEZE, ICE PARTY, I CARE) are incompatible with others (HOLIDAY, . € Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the temperature quickly, for example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge and the internal temperature rises slightly. This function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level. € Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never hot foods (see Precautions and tips). € Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. 19 Maintenance and care GB Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: 1. Disposal • Observe local environmental standards when disposing of packaging material as some of this material may be recycled. € The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. [. . . ] The internal temperature will increase, forcing the compressor to work harder and consume more energy. € Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (see Maintenance). 21 Troubleshooting GB If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list. The alarm sounds, the ALARM LED lights up and the refrigerator compartment light flashes. [. . . ]
