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 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.

4. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an

average value. After a few hours you will be able to

put food in the refrigerator.

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.

•

SHELVES

: with or without grill. Due to the special

guides the shelves are removable and the height is

adjustable, allowing easy storage of large containers

and food.

FRUIT 

and 

VEGETABLE 

bin

The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been

specially designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and

vegetables fresh and crisp. Open the humidity regulator

(position 

B

) if you want to store food in a less humid

environment, or close it (position 

A

) to store food in a

more humid environment.
