Start-up and use
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• Activate the SUPER COOL function 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.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• To freeze a lot of food, activate the SUPER FREEZE
function. The function is automatically disabled after
24 hours or once the optimal temperature has been
reached.
• Do not refreeze food that has been defrosted or that is
defrosting; this food must be eaten within 24 hours or
may be frozen again after it has been cooked.
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come
into contact with food that has already been
defrosted. Fresh food must be packed in the top
FREEZER compartment where the temperature drops
below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer
because they could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily
is indicated on the plate containing the technical
properties located on the bottom left side of the
refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h 4).
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature
inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for
at least 9 -14 hours.
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 of soda.
! 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).
Insert the plug into the electrical socket and, if OFF
appears on both indicator displays (refrigerator and
freezer), switch on the appliance by holding down the
ON/OFF button for at least two seconds:
- the refrigerator is set at a temperature of +5°C.
- the freezer is set at a temperature of -18°C.
To cool the two compartments more rapidly, activate the
SUPER COOL and SUPER FREEZE functions (
see
Display).
A.I.R. SYSTEM (Advanteg Integrated Refrigeration)
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (
see
diagram). The A.I.R. System maintains a constant fridge
temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will
quickly restore the temperature to the correct level, even
if the door is opened frequently: 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).
