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.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of
the thermostat knob.

11111

 = warmest        

55555

 = 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:

• 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.
