starts each time the power supply is cut off whether
voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).

It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (
see
diagram
). The A.I.R. System maintains a constant fridge
temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will
quickly restore the temperature to the correct level, even if
the door is opened frequently: the blown air (A) is cooled
when it comes into contact with the cold wall, whereas
the hotter air (B) is sucked up (
see diagram
).
The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of
water, depending on whether the compressor is in
operation or whether it is paused.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust
the temperature (
see Description
).
Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower
the temperature quickly. 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
).
Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than
raw foods.
Do not store liquids in open containers. They will
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause
condensation to form.
