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).
Freezer Compartment
When the product is switched on the freezer compartment is set to its default value of
AIR *
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram).
With the Active Oxigen switched on, the device will operate
a repeted cycle until the key is pressed again. There will be GB an Ozone emission noticed by the switching on of the green
led located on the Active Oxigen device located in the fridge compartment and a
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.
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.

AIR 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).
ACTIVE OXYGEN *
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator; ozone is a natural substance which combats bacteria and microorganisms, reducing their proliferation while limiting unpleasant odours.
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging the freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing bacteria
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator. The very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm, due to the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts is released; this is completely normal. The amount produced by the device is very small and abates quickly as the antibacterial action takes place.
Device is activated pressing the dedicated switch located in right side of the Oxigen device.
FOOD CARE ZONE *
Area dedicated to the storage of fresh food, such as meat and fish. Thanks to the low temperature inside the compartment, the Food Care Zone extends the period of time for which the food can be stored, keeping it fresh for up to a week.
FRESH BOX *
This is the new container, designed to keep various foods (such as cheese and cold meats) fresher for longer. If it is not needed, it can easily be removed from the refrigerator compartment. If there is a Bottle Shelf, more internal space can be created by placing the Fresh Box directly inside it.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until the temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher setting.
* Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain models.
