Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

GB
! 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. Plug the appliance in; make sure that the set
TEMPERATURE indicator light is illuminated and
showing the level +4∞.
2. If necessary, use the relevant ADJUSTMENT button
to set the temperature to an intermediate value.
After a few hours you will be able to put food in the
refrigerator.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself in accordance with the
selected temperature level as displayed by the
corresponding indicator light. The selected temperature
indicates the desired level of refrigeration.
+8° = warmest
+2°= coldest
We recommend, however, an intermediate position is
used (+4∞/+6∞).
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.
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:
Food
Fresh fish and meat
Fresh cheese
Cooked food
Salami, loaves of bread,
chocolate
Fruit and vegetables
Eggs
Butter and margarine
Bottles, drinks, milk

If the temperature adjustment system has been set to
a low value (colder), with large quantities of food and
a high room temperature, the appliance may operate
continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and
excessive energy consumption: this may be avoided by
using the ADJUSTMENT button to set the temperature to
a higher value (warmer); automatic defrosting will then
take place.
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.
• Use the ADJUSTMENT button to activate the SUPER
COOL (rapid cooling) function, which will lower the
temperature quickly. This is useful, for example,
when you place a large number of new food items
inside the refrigerator and you need to counteract the
slight rise in its internal temperature. This function is
automatically deactivated after the required amount
of time has passed.
• 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.
