[. . . ] If the compartment is switched on, then the temperatures set at that time will appear. To change them, turn the relative knob directly (REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob and FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob). The refrigerator compartment can be set to between +2C and +8C, while the freezer compartment can be set to a temperature of between -18C and -26C. The temperature in both cases can be increased or decreased by 1C at a time. When the HOLIDAY function is enabled, temperature regulations cannot be made, but the appliance automatically sets itself to the best setting for the situation: +12C for the refrigerator compartment (if enabled) and -18C for the freezer compartment. Function status Function symbol during normal operation Function selected (outline flashing) Using the refrigerator to its full potential ?Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description). For example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge, the internal temperature will rise slightly. The 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, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips). They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form. Function enabled (outline on) Enabling/disabling the functions Press the MODE button as many times as necessary for the red outline of the function you wish to act on to light up: this indicates that the function has been selected and is ready to be enabled or disabled. Now you can enable or disable the selected function using the SELECT button. The bucket may be used to serve the bottle, keeping it cool. 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. To restore normal operation, it is sufficient to set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF knob on the desired value. To disconnect the appliance, follow point 1 and 2. Holiday function To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not necessary to switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function which allows it to maintain the temperature of the refrigerator compartment at approximately 15C (which can also be used to conserve make-up and beauty products). The freezer temperature must be set to the minimum value (1) in order to preserve the food. The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully. Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours ?The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly. If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open. 20 Defrosting the appliance ! [. . . ] Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near heat sources. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy. Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. The internal temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder and will consume more energy. [. . . ]
