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   

5

 = 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:

Food

Arrangement inside the 

refrigerator

Fresh fish and meat

Above the fruit and vegetable bins

Fresh cheese

Above the fruit and vegetable bins

Cooked food

On any shelf

Salami, loaves of bread, 

chocolate

On any shelf

Fruit and vegetables

In the fruit and vegetable 

compartment bins

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.
