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 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).

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:

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 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.

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.
