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
• Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust
the temperature (see Description).
• Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to
lower the temperature quickly. For example, when
you place a large number of new food items inside a
fridge the internal temperature will rise slightly. The
function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily
reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal
level.
• 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 shelves are removable and the height
is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large
containers and food.
FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been
specially designed for the purpose of keeping fruit
and vegetables fresh and crisp. Open the humidity
regulator (position B) if you want to store food in a less
humid environment, or close it (position A) to store
food in a more humid environment.
