1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
internal light illuminates ( the FREEZER OPERATION

2. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob and
REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

max

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.
