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. Plug the appliance in; make sure that the set TEMPERATURE indicator light is illuminated and showing the level +4°.

2. If necessary, use the relevant ADJUSTMENT button to set the temperature to an intermediate 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 in accordance with the selected temperature level as displayed by the corresponding indicator light. The selected temperature indicates the desired level of refrigeration.

+8° = warmest +2° = coldest

We recommend, however, an intermediate position is used (+4°/+6°).

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.

PURE WIND SYSTEM

It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).

B	B
A	A	B

Pure Wind System maximises air circulation, improving the efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as quickly as possible each time it has been opened. 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).

If the temperature adjustment system has been set to a low value (colder), with large quantities of food and a high room temperature, the appliance may operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption: this may be avoided by using the ADJUSTMENT button to set the temperature to a higher value (warmer); automatic defrosting will then take place.

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.

WINE AREA*: to store up to three bottles of wine (see diagram). The air circulates freely between the bottles guaranteeing rapid cooling. When not in use, close it to increase the space on the shelf.

•Use the ADJUSTMENT button to activate the SUPER COOL (rapid cooling) function, which will lower the temperature quickly. This is useful, for example, when you place a large number of new food items inside the refrigerator and you need to counteract the slight rise in its internal temperature. This function is automatically deactivated after the required amount of time has passed.

•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.

•The top salad crispers, which are colder than the bottom one, are more suited to the preservation of delicate fruits and vegetables such as: grapes, strawberries, figs, cherries, fruits of the forest, mushrooms, asparagus, red tomatoes, artichokes etc.; whereas the bottom crisper is ideal for storing pineapples, avocados, citrons, lemons etc.

*Available only on certain models.
