models.
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.
!
The appliance comes with a motor protection control system
which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes
after being switched on. The compressor also starts each time
the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily
(blackout).
Freezer Compartment
When the product is switched on the freezer compartment is
set to its default value of -18°C. We recommend that the SUPER
FREEZE function is set (the freezer status bar continues to display
the set value) in order to accelerate the cooling process of the
compartment; when the inside of the compartment has reached
its optimal temperature the function will be deactivated and the
food may be placed inside.
AIR *
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the
top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).
A
B
AIR
maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the
evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside
the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been opened.
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).
ACTIVE OXYGEN *
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator; ozone
is a natural substance which combats bacteria and microorganisms,
reducing their proliferation while limiting unpleasant odours.
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging
the freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing
bacteria build-up.
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator.
The very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm,
due to the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts is
released; this is completely normal. The amount produced by the
device is very small and abates quickly as the antibacterial action
takes place.
Device is activated pressing the dedicated switch located in right
side of the Oxigen device.
With the Active Oxigen switched on, the device will operate
a repeted cycle until the key is pressed again. There will be
an Ozone emission noticed by the switching on of the green
led located on the Active Oxigen device located in the fridge
compartment and a stand-by cicle (without zone emission)
noticed by blue light.
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.
FOOD CARE ZONE *
Area dedicated to the storage of fresh food, such as meat and
fish. Thanks to the low temperature inside the compartment, the
Food Care Zone extends the period of time for which the food
can be stored, keeping it fresh for up to a week.
FRESH BOX
*
This is the new container, designed to keep various foods (such
as cheese and cold meats) fresher for longer. If it is not needed, it
can easily be removed from the refrigerator compartment. If there
is a Bottle Shelf, more internal space can be created by placing
the Fresh Box directly inside it.
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 REFRIGERATOR OPERATION 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 REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher setting.
