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 is fitted with an electronic motor control
system. The compressor motor will start approximately 8
minutes after the appliance is first switched on, or after
any power interruptions. (e.g. power failures)
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
.
2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
green POWER indicator light illuminates.
3. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a mid
position. After a few hours you will be able to put food
in the refrigerator.
4. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to a mid position
and press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing):
the SUPER FREEZE indicator light will illuminate. Once
the refrigerator has reached the optimal temperature,
the indicator light goes out and you can begin food
storage.
No Frost cooling system
This is recognisable by air
ducts located on the back
walls of each compartment.
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 air circulation by placing
food or containers in direct contact with the rear ducts.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• The general refrigerator temperature should be 5°C or
colder although some sections, such as fruit and
vegetable bin, will be warmer.The mid position (i-care)
is usually suitable but the exact position will depend
on the appliance location, food loading and number of
door openings. If necessary, use the REFRIGERATOR
OPERATION knob.
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature (see Description).
• Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower
the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a
large number of new food items inside a fridge the
internal temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly
cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the
temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
• 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.
WINE RACK: use to store bottle of wine. The air
circulates freely between the bottles garanteeing rapid
cooling.
