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).
Once you have plugged the appliance into the mains
socket, make sure the display is on (the FREEZER
COMPARTMENT knob must not be on Off).
Freezer compartment
When you turn the appliance on (by turning the
FREEZER and APPLIANCE ON/OFF Knob to the required
freezer compartment operating temperature), we
recommend you enable the SUPER FREEZE function to
speed up the cooling process inside the compartment;
when the latter has reached the optimal temperature, the
function will be disabled and you may place the frozen
foods inside the freezer.
Refrigerator compartment
When you turn the refrigerator compartment on (by
turning REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Knob to the
required refrigerator compartment operating
temperature), we recommend you enable the SUPER
COOL function to speed up the cooling process inside
the compartment: after a few hours, you may place food
inside the refrigerator.
A.I.R. SYSTEM (Advanced Integrated Refrigeration)
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (
see
diagram
).

The A.I.R. System 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,
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.
MULTI-USE bin: to store food
(such as cold meats) for a long
time and also prevent odours
from lingering in the refrigerator.
It can be removed for use and it
may be shifted sideways to
optimise space (
see diagram
).
BOTTLE RACK/ CAN RACK flap door: to store a bottle
or several cans horizontally (
see diagram
). When not in
use, close the flap door to increase the space in the
refrigerator compartment.

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.
