Usage Features
The appliance offers several features to enhance usability and food preservation:
- Temperature Regulation: Users can set desired temperatures for both the fridge and freezer compartments using dedicated buttons on the control panel. Default settings are +5°C for the fridge and -18°C for the freezer.
- Coolmatic Function: Accelerates the chilling of large amounts of warm food, preventing other stored food from warming up. It automatically deactivates after approximately 6 hours.
- Holiday Mode: Designed for long periods of non-operation, this mode keeps the appliance closed and empty without forming bad odours. It deactivates upon selecting a different temperature.
- Frostmatic Function: Speeds up the freezing of fresh food and protects already frozen foodstuffs from undesirable warming. It automatically stops after 52 hours.
- ChildLock Function: Locks the control panel buttons to prevent unintentional operation.
- DrinksChill Function: Sets an acoustic alarm for a preferred time (1 to 90 minutes), useful for cooling drinks quickly or as a reminder.
- DYNAMICAIR Function: Ensures rapid cooling and a more uniform temperature within the refrigerator compartment. It activates automatically when needed (e.g., after door opening or in high ambient temperatures) and can also be switched on manually.
- Alarms:
- High Temperature Alarm: Indicates an increase in freezer temperature (e.g., due to a power failure) with a flashing icon and buzzer.
- Door Open Alarm: Activates if the door is left open for approximately 90 seconds, with an acoustic signal and flashing indicator.
- Movable Shelves: The refrigerator walls are equipped with runners, allowing shelves to be positioned as desired for flexible storage.
- Door Shelves: The fridge door has repositionable shelves to suit individual preferences.
- Ice-cube Production: Includes trays for making ice cubes.
Maintenance Features
- Interior Cleaning: The interior and accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and neutral soap, then thoroughly dried. Abrasive products, chlorine, or oil-based cleaners should not be used.
- Door Seal Cleaning: Regularly check and wipe door seals to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
- Condenser and Compressor Cleaning: If accessible, the condenser and compressor at the back of the appliance should be cleaned with a brush to improve performance and save electricity.
- Defrosting the Refrigerator: Automatic defrosting occurs when the motor compressor stops. Defrost water drains into a special container at the back of the appliance, where it evaporates. The drain hole in the refrigerator compartment channel should be cleaned periodically to prevent blockages.
- Defrosting the Freezer: The freezer compartment is frost-free, meaning no build-up of frost on internal walls or food during operation.
- Non-operation Periods: For long periods of non-use, the appliance should be disconnected from the electricity supply, emptied of food, cleaned, and the doors left open to prevent unpleasant smells.
- Lamp Replacement: The appliance is equipped with a long-life LED interior light. Only an Authorised Service Centre is permitted to replace the lighting device.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a section to help users identify and resolve common issues, such as the appliance not operating, alarms, or temperature problems.
- Service and Spare Parts: Users are advised to contact an Authorised Service Centre for repairs and to use only original spare parts.
