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.
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.
Using the freezer to its full potential
Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has
already been defrosted. These foods must be
cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).
Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come
into contact with food that has already been
defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top
FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where the
temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees
rapid freezing.
Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the
freezer because they could break.
The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen
daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical
properties located on the bottom left side of the
refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4)
!
Do not open the door during freezing.
!
If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature
inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for
at least 9 -14 hours.
!
If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an
extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not
be reached in the freezer compartment and food
preservation will be reduced.

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. 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.

= warmest

= coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
Chiller system
Static
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 knob has been
set on high values with large quantities of food and
with a high ambient temperature, the appliance can
operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost
formation and excessive energy consumption:
compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower
values (defrosting will occur automatically).
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:
