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.
*
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 (colder) position and wait
approximately 10 hours until the temperature has 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.

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.
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.
Chiller system
The appliance comes with one of the chiller systems described
below: take note of your system in order to determine the most
efficient food storage method.

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).
Static
Models without the Aircooler have the cooling section in
the internal back wall of the compartments. The wall will be
covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the
compressor is operating or paused: both cases are normal. 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:
Arrangement inside the
Food
refrigerator
Fresh fish and meat Above the fruit and vegetable bins
Fresh cheese Above the fruit and vegetable bins
Cooked food On any shelf
Salami, loaves of bread,
On any shelf
chocolate
In the fruit and vegetable
Fruit and vegetables
compartment bins
Eggs On the shelf provided
Butter and margarine On the shelf provided
Bottles, drinks, milk On the shelves 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.

Easy Ice
The double tub was designed to optimise space in the freezer
compartment and to ensure that ice is always readily available.
The trays can be stacked or filled and used separately.
Furthermore, the special fastening system makes Easy Ice an
extremely flexible solution, as it can be positioned in the right or
left part of the top drawers.
