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
3
= coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
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.
Use of the storage compartment
The symbol
, marked on the door, indicates that
this compartment allows the storage of deep frozen or
frozen food for short periods.
The storage time is shown on the packages of the food
themselves.
When purchasing frozen food, make sure that they are
stored at an adequate temperature and that the package
is intact.
!
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.
Adjusting the Flow of Cold Air
It is necessary that the circulation of cold air within the
refrigerator be regulated based on the room temperature.
To do so, the flap located on the defrost water tray must
be closed towards to the tray (as shown in Fig.1) when the
ambient temperature is above 35°C and must be opened
towards to the rear side when below 35°C. (as shown in
Fig.2)
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.
