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. 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 an

average value. After a few hours you will be able to

put food in the refrigerator.

4. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average

value 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.

Chiller system

No Frost

The No Frost system,

thanks to the presence of

a number of aeration

cells, enables the

constant circulation of air

inside the compartment,

while the internal

temperature of the

refrigerator is kept even

using the same

compartment ventilation

system.

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.

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.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

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.
