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.
1. Plug the appliance in; make sure that the set 

TEMPERATURE indicator light is illuminated and 
showing the level 

+4

.

2. If necessary, use the relevant ADJUSTMENT button 

to set the temperature to an intermediate value. 
After a few hours you will be able to put food in the 
refrigerator.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment 
automatically adjusts itself in accordance with the 
selected temperature level as displayed by the 
corresponding indicator light. The selected temperature 
indicates the desired level of refrigeration.

 +8°

 = warmest

 +2°

= coldest

We recommend, however, an intermediate position is 
used (

+4

/

+6

).

The cooling section of the refrigerator is located 
inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment 
for increased space and improved aesthetics. During 
operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or 
water droplets depending on whether the compressor 
is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is 
functioning normally.

If the temperature adjustment system has been set to 
a low value (colder), with large quantities of food and 
a high room temperature, the appliance may operate 
continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and 
excessive energy consumption: this may be avoided by 
using the ADJUSTMENT button to set the temperature to 
a higher value (warmer); automatic defrosting will then 
take place. 

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.

•  Use the ADJUSTMENT button to activate the SUPER 

COOL (rapid cooling) function, which will lower the 
temperature quickly. This is useful, for example, 
when you place a large number of new food items 
inside the refrigerator and you need to counteract the 
slight rise in its internal temperature. This function is 
automatically deactivated after the required amount 
of time has passed.

•  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.

In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: 
the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. 
The food should be stored as follows:

Food 

Arrangement inside the 

refrigerator 

Fresh fish and meat 

Above the fruit and vegetable bins 

Fresh cheese 

Above the fruit and vegetable bins 

Cooked food

Salami, loaves of bread, 

chocolate

Butter and margarine
