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.
!
The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which
makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after being
switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power supply
is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal light
illuminates ( the FREEZER OPERATION knob must not be on the
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.
Setting the temperature
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.
Chiller system
No Frost
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.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never 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 the level
of 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.
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.
FRESH BOX
*
This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese fresh. When
positioned in the “lower” part of the fridge compartment, it is ideal for
meat and fish; when moved to the “top” part of the fridge, it is perfect
for cheese.
It can be taken out of the fridge when it is not needed.
Using the freezer to its full potential
The temperature inside the freezer compartment automatically adjusts
itself according to the position of the thermostat knob.
= warmest
= coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
* Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain models.
