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.
1 = warmest MAX = coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The “cooling section” of the refrigerator is located inside
the back wall of the compartment, providing increased
space and improved aesthetics. The back wall will be
covered in frost or water droplets depending on whether
the compressor is operating or paused. This is not a
cause for concern; the refrigerator is functioning
normally.
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set
to a high value, with large quantities of food inside and a
high ambient temperature outside the refrigerator, the
appliance could operate continuously, resulting in high
frost formation and high energy consumption: this may
be counteracted by turning the knob towards lower
temperature values (defrosting will occur automatically).
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.
Accessories
Start-up and use
MULTI-USE box: fixed at the top
of the compartment, this was
designed to keep various foods
for longer periods of time (for
example eggs, butter or food in
small containers); it prevents
food odours from permeating into
the refrigerator.
WINE AREA: this special
accessory is fixed at the top of
the compartment and was
designed to hold up to 3 bottles
of wine, without taking up extra
space. Bottles may be placed in
the WINE AREA when it is open,
yet when the compartment is
closed it takes up just three
centimetres of space inside the refrigerator.
VEGETABLE BINS: two practical
vegetable bins are located in the
top compartment. These are easy
to remove and may be taken out
to be placed on the worktop or to
be washed.
PROFESSIONAL containers: two
professional containers (with
covers) are located in the lower
compartment. They were
designed to store meat, cheeses
or fish.
BOTTLE SHELF compartment:
to keep two bottles in a stable
position, use the special
stainless steel grilles in the lower
compartment.
