Start-Up And Use - Hotpoint Ariston BSZ 1632 Operating Instructions Manual

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. 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 5 = 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:
)RRG
Fresh fish and meat
Fresh cheese
Cooked food
Salami, bread loaf,
chocolate
Fruit and vegetables
Eggs
Butter and margarine 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
1
shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable (see
2 diagram), allowing easy storage
of large containers and food.
Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light: to identify the coldest
area in the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light
(see diagram).
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the
temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR
OPERATION knob to a higher position (colder) and
wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has
been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust
it following the initial process. If large quantities of
food have been added or if the refrigerator door has
been opened frequently, it is normal for the indicator
not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before
adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher setting.
