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. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
internal light illuminates ( the FREEZER OPERATION
knob must not be on the
OFF position
) .
2. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob and
REFRIGERATOR OPERATION 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.
min = warmest
max = coldest
We recommend, however,
a medium position.
Chiller system
No Frost
It is recognisable by
aeration cells located on the
back walls of the
compartments.
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
• 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.
