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.
