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.
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).
The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of
water, depending on whether the compressor is in
operation or whether it is paused.
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).
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.
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.
