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.
PURE WIND SYSTEM
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (
see
diagram
).
Pure Wind System 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
).
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.
WINE AREA
: to store up to three bottles of wine (
see diagram
). The
air circulates freely between the bottles guaranteeing rapid cooling.
When not in use, close it to increase the space on 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.
• The top salad crispers, which are colder than the bottom
one, are more suited to the preservation of delicate fruits
and vegetables such as: grapes, strawberries, figs,
cherries, fruits of the forest, mushrooms, asparagus, red
tomatoes, artichokes etc.; whereas the bottom crisper is
ideal for storing pineapples, avocados, citrons, lemons etc.
