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
No Frost
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect humidity
and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains an optimal
humidity level in the compartment, preserving the original quality of
the food, preventing the food from sticking together and making
defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration cells by
placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back
panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never 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 the level of
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.
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.
ACTIVE OXIGEN
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
build-up.
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 key on the dashboard.
With the Active Oxigen switched on, the device will operate a repeted
cycle until the key is pressed again. There will be 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 stand-by
cicle (without zone emission) noticed by blue light.
TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the
refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see diagram).
