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.
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.
= warmest = coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased space and improved aesthetics. During operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether the compressor is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is functioning normally.
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).
B |
A |
The Aircooler maintains a constant fridge temperature to
keep food fresher for longer and will quickly restore the GB 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).
The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of water, depending on whether the compressor is in operation or whether it is paused.
Static
Models without the Aircooler. 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 TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT 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:
