Start-up and use

GB

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 starts the compressor approximately 8 minutes after switch on. This system also operates each time the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).

1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal light illuminates (the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob must not be on the OFF

position).

2.Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a mid position. 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. The ideal setting will depend on the appliance location, room temperature and number of door openings.

1 = warmest MAX = coldest

We recommend, however, starting on the mid position (i- care)

With a suitable refrigerator temperature, the freezer compartment will automatically be maintained at the correct temperature (below -18°C).

Refrigerator cooling system:

The cooling system is located immediately behind the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. The back wall will be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the compressor is operating or paused: both cases are normal. If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set in a high position with large quantities of food and with a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously. This results in excessive frost formation and excessive energy consumption. Compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will occur automatically).

In the refrigerator, 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:

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

•Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust the temperature (see Description).

•Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and tips).

•Follow any instructions on the food packaging including storage times.

•Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods. Store raw or defrosted meat and poultry in polythene or foil and store below cooked foods and dairy products to avoid contamination from dripping juices.

•Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

No-frost freezer cooling system:

This is recognisable by the air ducts on the back wall of the freezer compartment.

The no-frost system circulates cold air to collect humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system prevents food from sticking together and makes defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the air circulation by placing food or containers in direct contact with the rear air ducts.
