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.
! The appliance comes with a motor protection control
system which makes the compressor start
approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The
compressor also starts each time the power supply is
cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
.
2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
green POWER indicator light illuminates.
3. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an
average value. After a few hours you will be able to
put food in the refrigerator.
4. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average
value and press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid
freezing): the SUPER FREEZE indicator light will
illuminate. Once the refrigerator has reached the
optimal temperature, the indicator light goes out and
you can begin food storage.
Chiller system
No Frost
The No Frost system circulates
cold air continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice and
frost formation. The system
maintains an optimal humidity
level in the compartment,
preserving the original quality of
the food, preventing the food
from sticking together and
making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the
aeration cells by placing food or containers in direct
contact with the refrigerating back panel. Close bottles
and wrap food tightly.
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.
Food hygiene
1. Once you have bought your food, remove all
external packaging made of paper/cardboard or
other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or
dirt inside your refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable
items and those that have a strong smell), in order
to avoid contact between them, thereby removing
both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination
as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the
fridge.
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can
circulate freely between different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care
not to use oxidiser or abrasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the
refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily
perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.)
should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge
compartment, i.e. just above the salad crisper
where the temperature indicator is situated.
