How to use the appliance
First time use
Wait at least two hours. after the installation. before connecting the appliance to the power supply. Connect the appliance to the power supply it starts the operation automatically. The ideal storage temperatures for the food are preset in the factory .
After turning the appliance on. you must wait for 4-6 hours for the correct storage temperature to be reached for a normally filled appliance. Position the antibacterial anti-odour filter in the fan as demonstrated in the filter packaging (if available). If the audible signal sounds. it means that the temperature alarm has intervened: press the button to switch off the acoustic alarms .
Refrigerator compartment and food storage
The refrigerator compartment allows for the storage of fresh food and drink. The refrigerator compartment defrosts completely automatically. The occasional presence of drops of water on the internal back wall of the compartment is a sign of the automatic defrosting phase. The defrosting water is channelled into a drain and then collected in a container. where it evaporates.
Note: the ambient temperature. how often the doors are opened and the position of the appliance may affect the internal temperatures in the two compartments. Set the temperatures depending on these factors. In very humid conditions. condensation may form in the refrigerator compartment. especially on the glass shelves. In this case. it is recommended that you close containers with liquids in (e.g. a pot of stock). wrap up food with a high water content (e.g. vegetables) and turn on the fan. if there is one. All of the drawers. door shelves and shelves can be removed.
Air ventilation
The ventilation air allows a better distribution of the temperatures inside the compartments and. consequently. better preservation of the food and reduction of excess humidity. Do not obstruct the ventilation area .
How to store fresh food and beverages
If you have a little quantity of food to store in the refrigerator. we recommend to use the shelves above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the coolest area of the compartment. Always use closed containers for liquids and for food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer or cover them. To avoid bottles falling over. you can use the bottle holder (available on selected models) .
