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 of soda.
!The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which means that the compressor starts up approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power supply is cut off, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (power cut/ blackout).
Insert the plug into the electrical socket and, if OFF appears on both indicator displays (refrigerator and freezer), switch the appliance on by holding the ON/OFF button down for at least two seconds:
-the refrigerator will be set at a temperature of +5°C
-the freezer will be set at a temperature of
To cool the two compartments more rapidly, activate the SUPER COOL and SUPER FREEZE functions (see Display).
Chiller system
The appliance is fitted with the following chiller system:
No Frost This system can be recognised
by the aeration cells located on
the back walls of each compartment.
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 | GB |
potential |
•Adjust the temperature using the display.
•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.
