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. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
internal light illuminates.
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 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.
1
= warmest
MAX
= coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The “cooling section” of the refrigerator is located
inside the back wall of the compartment, providing
increased space and improved aesthetics. The back
wall will be covered in frost or water droplets
depending on whether the compressor is operating
or paused. This is not a cause for concern; the
refrigerator is functioning normally.
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been
set to a high value, with large quantities of food
inside and a high ambient temperature outside the
refrigerator, the appliance could operate
continuously, resulting in high frost formation and
high energy consumption: this may be counteracted
by turning the knob towards lower temperature
values (defrosting will occur automatically).
Using the refrigerator to its full
potential
• Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to
adjust the temperature (
see Description
).
• 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.
Accessories
Start-up and use
MULTI-USE
box: fixed at the
top of the compartment, this
was designed to keep various
foods for longer periods of
time (for example eggs,
butter or food in small
containers); it prevents food
odours from permeating into
the refrigerator.
WINE AREA
: this special
accessory is fixed at the top
of the compartment and was
designed to hold up to 3
bottles of wine, without taking
up extra space. Bottles may
be placed in the WINE AREA
when it is open, yet when the
compartment is closed it
takes up just three
centimetres of space inside
the refrigerator.
VEGETABLE BINS
: two
practical vegetable bins are
located in the top
compartment. These are easy
to remove and may be taken
out to be placed on the
worktop or to be washed.
PROFESSIONAL
containers:
two professional containers
(with covers) are located in
the lower compartment. They
were designed to store meat,
cheeses or fish.
BOTTLE SHELF
compartment: to keep two
bottles in a stable position,
use the special stainless steel
grilles in the lower
compartment.
