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 REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an
average value. After a few hours you will be able to put
food in the refrigerator.
4. 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.
Chiller system

The PURE WIND 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
).
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 REFRIGERATOR OPERATION 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).
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust
the temperature (
see Description
).
Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) 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.
