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.
1 = 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.
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:

Butter and margarine On the shelf provided
Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelf 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.
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 bottles of wine. The air
circulates freely between the bottles guaranteeing rapid
cooling.
BREAKFAST BOX
*
: This is the ideal container for the
storage of foods consumed at breakfast. It can be
removed and used at the breakfast table to serve the food
that, thanks to the special design of the container, will
maintain the correct temperature for longer. The lid can be
used as a practical tray, simply by using the handles
provided. The Breakfast Box can also be used as a meat
container, for food products that must be well-protected in
order to be stored correctly.
