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).

REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average

Using the refrigerator to its full potential
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
The easy-to-open lids (all you have to do is pull the
crisper out) make it easy to put food in and take it out.
BEVERAGE CAN shelves .
The can rack on the inner
door allows you to store not
only cans, but also yoghurt,
butter and other containers,
according to your
requirements.
