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.
1
= warmest
MAX
= coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
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:

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.
TEMPERATURE
Indicator light: to identify the coldest
area in the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light
(
see diagram
).
2. If the word OK does not appear it means that the
temperature is too high: adjust the TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT knob to a higher position (colder)
and wait approximately 10 hours until the
temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary,
readjust it following the initial process. If large
quantities of food have been added or if the
refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is
normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at
least 10 hours before adjusting the TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT knob to a higher setting.
