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
PURE WIND
It is recognizable due to the presence of the
mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator
compartment ( see diagram ).

Pure Wind 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 ).
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.
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).
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.
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.
