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. Plug the appliance in; make sure that the set
TEMPERATURE indicator light is illuminated and
showing the level +4°.
2. If necessary, use the relevant ADJUSTMENT button to
set the temperature to an intermediate value. After a few
hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself in accordance with the
selected temperature level as displayed by the
corresponding indicator light. The selected
temperature indicates the desired level of refrigeration.
+8° = warmest
+2° = coldest
We recommend, however, an intermediate position is
used
(+4°/+6°).
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.
PURE WIND SYSTEM
It is recognizable due to the presence of the
mechanism on the top part of the refrigerator
compartment (see diagram).

Pure Wind System maximises air circulation, improving
the efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve
the optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as quickly
as possible each time it has been opened. 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).
If the temperature adjustment system has been set to a
low value (colder), with large quantities of food and a
high room temperature, the appliance may operate
continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and
excessive energy consumption: this may be avoided
by using the ADJUSTMENT button to set the
temperature to a higher value (warmer); automatic
defrosting will then take place.
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.
WINE AREA
*
: to store up to
three bottles of wine (see
diagram). The air circulates
freely between the bottles
guaranteeing rapid cooling.
When not in use, close it to
increase the space on the
shelf.
Use the ADJUSTMENT button to activate the SUPER
COOL (rapid cooling) function, which will lower the
temperature quickly. This is useful, for example,
when you place a large number of new food items
inside the refrigerator and you need to counteract
the slight rise in its internal temperature. This
function is automatically deactivated after the
required amount of time has passed.
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.
The top salad crispers, which are colder than the
bottom one, are more suited to the preservation of
delicate fruits and vegetables such as: grapes,
strawberries, figs, cherries, fruits of the forest,
mushrooms, asparagus, red tomatoes, artichokes
etc.; whereas the bottom crisper is ideal for storing
pineapples, avocados, citrons, lemons etc.
