Accessories Start-up and use

MULTI-USEbox: fixed at the top of the compartment, this was designed to keep various foods for longer periods of time (for example eggs, butter or food in small containers); it prevents food odours from permeating into the refrigerator.

WINE AREA: this special accessory is fixed at the top of

the compartment and was

designed to hold up to 3 bottles

of wine, without taking up extra

space. Bottles may be placed in the WINE AREA when it is open,

yet when the compartment is closed it takes up just three

centimetres of space inside the refrigerator.

VEGETABLE BINS: two practical vegetable bins are located in the top compartment. These are easy to remove and may be taken out to be placed on the worktop or to be washed.

PROFESSIONAL containers: two professional containers (with covers) are located in the lower compartment. They were designed to store meat, cheeses or fish.

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.

Setting the temperature

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 compartment, providing increased space and improved aesthetics. The back wall will be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the compressor is operating or paused. This is not a cause for concern; the refrigerator is functioning normally.

If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set to a high value, with large quantities of food inside and a high ambient temperature outside the refrigerator, the appliance could operate continuously, resulting in high frost formation and high energy consumption: this may be counteracted by turning the knob towards lower temperature values (defrosting will occur automatically).

BOTTLE SHELF compartment: to keep two bottles in a stable position, use the special stainless steel grilles in the lower compartment.

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

•Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 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.
