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 ( the FREEZER OPERATION
knob must not be on the
OFF position
) .
2. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob and
REFRIGERATOR OPERATION 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.
min = warmest
max = coldest
We recommend, however, a
medium position.
It is recognisable by aeration cells located on the back
walls of the compartments.
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to
collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation.
The system maintains an optimal humidity level in the
compartment, preserving the original quality of the
food, preventing the food from sticking together and
making defrosting a thing of the past.
Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or
containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back
panel.
Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
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.
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.
fridge
FRESH BOX: for fresh meat
and fish. Due to the
compartments low
temperature (the coldest in the
refrigerator) and to the clear
door that provides protection
against oxidation and
blackening, food can be stored
for even up to one week. It can
also be used for cold meals.
FRUIT
and VEGETABLE bin
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been
specially designed for the purpose of keeping fruit
and vegetables fresh and crisp. Open the humidity
regulator (position B) if you want to store food in a less
humid environment, or close it (position A) to store
food in a more humid environment.

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.
