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).
1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on .
2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the green
POWER indicator light illuminates.
3. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average value and
press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the SUPER
FREEZE indicator light will illuminate. Once the refrigerator has
reached the optimal temperature, the indicator light goes out
and you can begin food storage.
4. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average
value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the
refrigerator.
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
).
• 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 and the internal temperature rises
slightly. This 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, 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
*
: 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.
FRESH BOX
*
This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese fresh.
When
positioned in the “lower” part of the fridge compartment, it is ideal
for meat and fish; when moved to the “top” part of the fridge, it
is perfect for cheese.
It can be taken out of the fridge when it is
not needed.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature
(
see Description
).
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact
with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must
be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment
where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees
rapid freezing.
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible,
activate the SUPER FREEZE function 24 hours before placing
the food in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate
the SUPER FREEZE function again; it will be deactivated
automatically after 24 hours.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they
could break.
*
Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain
models.
