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
The appliance comes with one of the chiller systems described below: take note of your system in order to determine the most efficient food storage method.
Aircooler
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see diagram). The Aircooler maintains a constant fridge temperature to keep food fresher for longer and will quickly restore the temperature to the correct level, even if the door is opened frequently: 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).

Models without the Aýrcooler have the cooling section in | |||||
| |||||
the internal back wall of the compartments. The wall will |
| ||||
| |||||
be covered in frost or water droplets depending on |
| ||||
whether the compressor is operating or paused: both |
| ||||
cases are normal. If the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION |
| ||||
knob has been set on high values with large quantities of |
| ||||
food and with a high ambient temperature, the appliance |
| ||||
can operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost |
| ||||
formation and excessive energy consumption: |
| ||||
compensate for this by shifting the knob towards lower |
| ||||
values (defrosting will occur automatically). |
| ||||
In static appliances, 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).
•Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a large number of new food items inside a fridge the internal temperature will rise slightly. The function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
•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.
