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 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.
A.I.R. SYSTEM (Ariston 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).
