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.

!The appliance comes with a motor protection control system which makes the compressor start approximately 8 minutes after being switched on. The compressor also starts each time the power supply is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).

1.Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on .

2.Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the green POWER indicator light illuminates.

3.Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator.

4.Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average value and press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid freezing): the SUPER FREEZE indicator light will illuminate. Once the refrigerator has reached the optimal temperature, the indicator light goes out and you can begin food storage.

Chiller system

No Frost

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 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).

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.

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.
