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.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of
the thermostat knob.
1 = warmest 5 = 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.
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,
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.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
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.
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
).
Salad crispers
The salad crispers fitted inside
the fridge have been specially
designed for the purpose of
keeping fruit and vegetables
fresh and crisp. Open the
humidity regulator (position B) if
you want to store food in a less
humid environment, or close it
(position A) to store food in a
more humid environment.
The easy-to-open lids (all you
have to do is pull the crisper out)
make it easy to put food in and
take it out.
The can rack
The can rack on the inner door
allows you to store not only cans,
but also yoghurt, butter and other
containers, according to your
requirements.
