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).

Once you have plugged the appliance into the mains
socket, make sure the display is on (the FREEZER
COMPARTMENT knob must not be on Off).

Freezer compartment
When you turn the appliance on (by turning the
FREEZER and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob to the required
freezer compartment operating temperature), we
recommend you enable the SUPER FREEZE function to
speed up the cooling process inside the compartment;
when the latter has reached the optimal temperature, the
function will be disabled and you may place the frozen
foods inside the freezer.

Refrigerator compartment
When you turn the refrigerator compartment on (by
turning REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob to the
required refrigerator compartment operating
temperature), we recommend you enable the SUPER
COOL function to speed up the cooling process inside
the compartment: after a few hours, you may place food
inside the refrigerator.

A.I.R. SYSTEM (Advanced Integrated Refrigeration)
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (

see

diagram). The A.I.R. System maintains a constant fridge
temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will
quickly restore the temperature to the correct level, even
if the door is opened frequently: 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).

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.

MULTI-USE

bin: to store food (such as cold meats)

for a long time and also prevent odours from lingering
in the refrigerator.

Varies by number and/or position.

Available only on certain models.
