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.

The can rack

The can rack on the inner door

allows you to store not only cans,

but also yoghurt, butter and other

containers, according to your

requirements.

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.

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 defrosted.

Fresh food must be stored above the grill in the freezer

compartment and if possible be in direct contact with

the walls (side and rear), 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.

!

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.

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.

 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:
