Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
!
Before starting the appliance, follow the
installation instructions
(
see Installation).
!
Before connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water
and bicarbonate.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
internal light illuminates.
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an
average value. After a few hours you will be able to
put food in the refrigerator.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of
the thermostat knob.
1
= warmest
5
= coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside
the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for
increased space and improved aesthetics. During
operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or
water droplets depending on whether the compressor
is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is
functioning normally.
Chiller system
The appliance comes with one of the chiller systems
described below: take note of your system in order to
determine the most efficient food storage method.
PURE WIND/PURE WIND PLUS* SYSTEM
It is recognizable due to the presence of the
mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator
compartment (
see diagram).
Pure Wind /PURE WIND PLUS System maximises air
circulation, improving the efficiency of the evaporator
and helping to achieve the optimal temperature
inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each
time it has been opened. 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).
I
Static
Models without the PURE WIND have the cooling
section in the internal back wall of the compartments.
The wall will be covered in frost or water droplets
depending on whether the compressor is operating or
paused: both cases are normal. If the TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high values with
large quantities of food and with a high ambient
temperature, the appliance can operate continuously,
resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive
energy consumption: compensate for this by shifting
the knob towards lower values (defrosting will occur
automatically).
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way:
the colder air tends to move downwards as it is
heavier. The food should be stored as follows:
Food
Arrangement inside the
refrigerator
Fresh fish and meat
Above the fruit and vegetable
bins
Fresh cheese

bins
Cooked food
On any shelf
Salami, bread loaf,
chocolate

Butter and margarine On the shelf provided
Bottles, drinks, milk

SHELVES
: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the
shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable (
see
diagram), allowing easy
storage of large containers and
food. Height can be adjusted
without complete removal of
the shelf.
