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).
PURE WIND
It is recognizable due to the presence of the
mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator
compartment ( see diagram ).

Pure Wind maximises air circulation, improving the
efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve
the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as
quickly as possible each time it has been opened.
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, allowing easy storage of
large containers and food.
BREAKFAST BOX: This is the ideal container for the
storage of foods consumed at breakfast. It can be
removed and used at the breakfast table to serve the
food that, thanks to the special design of the container,
will maintain the correct temperature for longer. The lid
can be used as a practical tray, simply by using the
handles provided. The Breakfast Box can also be used
as a meat container, for food products that must be
well-protected in order to be stored correctly.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light
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.
