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.

 = 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.

Refrigerator cooling system

These models have the cooling section in the internal
back wall of the compartments. The wall will be covered
in frost or water droplets depending on whether the
compressor is operating or paused: both cases are
normal. 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:

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.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION 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.
