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.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment

automatically adjusts itself according to the position of

the thermostat knob.

 = 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:

• 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 (

see

diagram

), allowing easy storage

of large containers and food.

Height can be adjusted without

complete removal of the shelf.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• 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 frosted.

• 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.

!

If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an

extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not

be reached in the freezer compartment and food

preservation will be reduced.
