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.
! The appliance comes with a motor protection control system
which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes
after being switched on. The compressor also starts each time
the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily
(blackout).

Chiller system
No Frost
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains
an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the original
quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking together and
making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration cells
by placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating
back panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never
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 the level
of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.
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
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.
Food Care Zone
Area dedicated to the storage of fresh food, such as meat and
fish. Thanks to the low temperature inside the compartment, the
Food Care Zone extends the period of time for which the food
can be stored, keeping it fresh for up to a week.
*
Dual led
Thanks to the powerful light it emits, the new dual LED lighting
system offers a clear view of all foods, with no shadowy areas.
If the LEDs need to be replaced, please contact the Technical
Assistance Service.
Operation and maintenance of the water
dispenser.
When first used, or after prolonged periods of inactivity, wash the
tank with water. The water dispenser supplies cold water without
having to open the refrigerator door each time.
This also allows for reducing the product's energy consumption.
To fill the tank, lift the flap or remove the cover (see picture) then
pour in the water with a carafe or other suitable container. Avoid
filling the tank completely.
