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.
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
= 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.
Chiller system
The appliance comes with one of the chiller systems described
below: take note of your system in order to determine the most
efficient food storage method.
PURE WIND *
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the top
part of the refrigerator compartment (
see diagram).
A
B B
B A
Pure Wind 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).
The Pure Wind Plus products are also equipped with a filter which,
thanks to the inclusion of silver ions, makes it possible to reduce
bacteria by 70% and to eliminate odours inside the refrigerator unit,
thereby guaranteeing improved food storage.
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).
Static
Models without the Aircooler 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:
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
Eggs On the shelf provided
Butter and margarine On the shelf provided
Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelves provided
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.
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 (colder) position and wait approximately 10 hours until
the temperature has 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
* Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain
models.
