).
!
Before connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm

approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The
compressor also starts each time the power supply is
cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).

It is recognizable due to the presence of the
mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator
compartment (
see diagram
). The A.I.R. System
maintains a constant fridge temperature to keep food
fresher for longer and will quickly restore the
temperature to the correct level, even if the door is
opened frequently: 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
).
The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of
water, depending on whether the compressor is in
operation or whether it is paused.
Using the refrigerator to its full
potential
Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to
adjust the temperature (
see Description
).
Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to
lower the temperature quickly. For example, when
you place a large number of new food items inside
a fridge the internal temperature will rise slightly.
The function quickly cools the groceries by
temporarily reducing the temperature until it
reaches the ideal level.
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.
Food hygiene
1. Once you have bought your food, remove all
external packaging made of paper/cardboard or
other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or
dirt inside your refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable
items and those that have a strong smell), in order
to avoid contact between them, thereby removing
both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination
as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the
fridge.
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can
circulate freely between different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care
not to use oxidiser or abrasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the
refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily
perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat,
etc.) should be stored in the coldest zone of the
fridge compartment, i.e. just above the salad
crisper where the temperature indicator is situated.
