Start-up and use

Starting the appliance

GB
! 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.
1 = warmest MAX = 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:
)RRG
Fresh fish and meat
Fresh cheese
Cooked food
Salami, bread loaf,
chocolate
Fruit and vegetables
Eggs
Butter and margarine On the shelf provided

On the shelf provided
• 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
1
shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable (see
diagram), allowing easy storage
2
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 TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT 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
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a higher setting.
Food hygiene
1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external
packaging made of paper/cardboard or other
wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside
your refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items
and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid
contact between them, thereby removing both the
possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as
the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge.
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can
circulate freely between different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to
use oxidiser or abrasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily
perishable items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.)
should be stored in the coldest zone of the fridge
compartment, i.e. just above the salad crisper where
the temperature indicator is situated.
