GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE

NOTICE

After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the upright position and wait approximately 3 hours be- fore connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee that it operates properly.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and baking soda.

After plugging in an switching on at the socket, make sure the light is on inside the refrigerator compartment.

Then turn the temperature control (A) to the 3 setting. After a few hours, you can place fresh food inside the refrigerator and frozen food inside the freezer.

How to use the refrigerator compartment

The temperature control automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance

1 = minimum cold temperature

5 = maximum cold temperature

It is recommended that a medium setting be used.

To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a “cooling area” located within the back panel of the refrigerator compart- ment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether the compressor is operating or not.

Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operat- ing normally.

If the temperature control is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tem- perature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will lead to an increase in energy consumption.

To avoid this situation, just turn the temperature control to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically.

The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is equipped with "A.I.R. System" (Advanced Integrated Refrigeration) which makes it possible to achieve optimal food storage while simplifying the use of the refrigerator, thanks to the following features:

-Fast temperature reset, after the doors have been opened, the internal temperatures return to optimal levels faster, improving food storage.

-More uniform temperature distribution, this makes it possible to place any type of food on any shelf.

-Higher humidity level, this allows you to store food longer.

-Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum storage time, any food, even the freshest will not remain ed- ible for any extended amount of time.

-Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any longer than raw food.

-Do not place fluids in containers without covering them, this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.

-Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or other items in direct contact with the cooling area of the interior back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, increase energy consumption and facilitate the forma- tion of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
