- DrinksChill Mode: This function allows for rapid cooling of drinks in the freezer compartment for a set period (1 to 90 minutes). An audible alarm sounds when the countdown ends.
- FastFreeze Mode: Designed for freezing large amounts of fresh food rapidly. It automatically switches off after 52 hours. It is recommended to activate this function at least 24 hours before placing food to be frozen.
- Holiday Mode: Keeps the refrigerator closed and empty during long holiday periods without bad smells. The fridge compartment must be empty when this mode is on.
- Shopping Mode: Chills large amounts of warm food more rapidly to prevent warming other food already in the refrigerator. It automatically shuts off after approximately 6 hours.
- Eco Mode: Provides optimal food storage with default temperatures of +4°C for the fridge and -18°C for the freezer.
- ChildLock Mode: Locks the control panel to prevent accidental changes to settings.
- FreeStore: A device in the refrigerator compartment that allows rapid cooling and maintains a more uniform temperature. It activates automatically when needed, such as after door opening or in high ambient temperatures.
- Low Temperature Compartment: (In equipped models) Located above the vegetable drawer, intended for optimal conservation of fresh foods like fish, meat, and seafood.
- Movable Shelves: The refrigerator walls are equipped with runners for flexible positioning of shelves.
- Door Shelves: Can be placed at different heights to accommodate various food package sizes.
- Ice-cube Production: Includes trays for making ice cubes in the freezer compartment.
- Cold Accumulators: The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator to increase storage time during power cuts or breakdowns.

Maintenance Features
- Cleaning:
- The interior and internal accessories should be cleaned with lukewarm water and neutral soap.
- Door seals should be checked and wiped clean regularly.
- The condenser and compressor (if accessible) at the back of the appliance should be cleaned with a brush to improve performance and save electricity.
- Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine, or oil-based cleaners.
- Defrosting the Refrigerator: Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator. Defrost water drains into a special container at the back of the appliance and evaporates. The defrost water drain hole in the refrigerator compartment channel must be cleaned periodically to prevent water overflow.
- Defrosting the Freezer: The freezer compartment is frost-free, meaning no frost builds up during operation.
- Periods of Non-operation: For long periods of non-use, the appliance should be disconnected from the electricity supply, all food removed, cleaned, and doors left open to prevent unpleasant smells.
- Replacing the Lamp: The appliance is equipped with a long-life LED interior light. Only authorized service personnel should replace the lighting device.
- Closing the Door: Clean door gaskets, adjust the door if necessary, and replace defective gaskets through an Authorized Service Centre.

The manual emphasizes several safety instructions:
- General Safety: The appliance is intended for household use. Ventilation openings must be kept clear. Mechanical devices or other means should not be used to accelerate defrosting unless recommended by the manufacturer. The refrigerant circuit must not be damaged. Electrical appliances should not be used inside food storage compartments unless recommended. Water spray and steam should not be used for cleaning. Explosive substances should not be stored in the appliance.
- Children and Vulnerable People Safety: Children aged 8 and above, and persons with reduced capabilities, can use the appliance with supervision and instruction. Children between 3 and 8 years can use it if properly instructed. Children under 3 should be continuously supervised. Children should not play with the appliance or perform cleaning/maintenance without supervision. Packaging should be kept away from children.
- Installation Safety: Installation should only be performed by a qualified person. All packaging and transit bolts must be removed. A damaged appliance should not be installed or used. Safety gloves and enclosed footwear should be worn when moving the heavy appliance. Air circulation around the appliance must be ensured. After installation or door reversal, wait at least 4 hours before connecting to power. The appliance should not be installed near heat sources or in direct sunlight, or in excessively humid/cold areas.
- Electrical Connection Safety: The appliance must be earthed. Parameters on the rating plate must match mains power supply. A correctly installed shockproof socket must be used. Multi-plug adapters and extension cables are not recommended. Electrical components should not be damaged. The mains cable must stay below the level of the mains plug. The mains plug should be connected only at the end of installation, ensuring access to it.
- Use Safety: Do not modify the appliance's specifications. Do not use electrical appliances inside unless specified by the manufacturer. Be careful not to damage the refrigerant circuit (contains flammable isobutane). If the circuit is damaged, ensure no flames or ignition sources are present and ventilate the room. Hot items should not touch plastic parts. Soft drinks should not be put in the freezer. Flammable gas/liquid or wet flammable products should not be stored in/near the appliance. The compressor or condenser should not be touched when hot. Items from the freezer should not be touched with wet/damp hands. Thawed food should not be refrozen. Storage instructions for frozen food should be followed.
- Internal Lighting Safety: The lamp is for household appliances only, not for house lighting.
- Care and Cleaning Safety: Before maintenance, deactivate and disconnect the appliance. The cooling unit contains hydrocarbons, so maintenance and recharging must be done by authorized technicians. The drain should be regularly examined and cleaned.
