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.
! Electronic versions are provided with a motor protection switch
that powers on the compressor only almost 8 minutes after the
starting. The compressor also starts each time the power supply
is cut off whether voluntarily or involuntarily (blackout).
1. Connect the plug and check that the FRIDGE TEMPERATURE
indicator turns on. If the indicator stays off, please press the
ON/OFF button.
2. Set the FRIDGE TEMPERATURE on an average value. After a
few hours it will be possible to insert food in the fridge.
Cooling system
No Frost
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system maintains
an optimal humidity level in the compartment, preserving the original
quality of the food, preventing the food from sticking together and
making defrosting a thing of the past. Do not block the aeration cells
by placing food or containers in direct contact with the refrigerating
back panel. Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment
Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the
level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to
form.
SHELVES:
They are removable and adjustable in height and depth thanks
to the special guides, allowing easy storage of large containers
and food. Height can be adjusted without complete removal of
the shelf. (see the picture)

TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in
the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see
diagram).
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature
is too high:set the FRIDGE TEMPERATURE on a colder value,
and then wait 10 hours until the temperature becomes stable.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it
following the initial process. If large quantities of food have
been added or if the refrigerator door has been opened
frequently, it is normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait
at least 10 hours before you set the FRIDGE temperature on a
colder value.
COMPARTMENT 3 IN 1 ZONE*
This is the new box which offers maximum flexibility in order to
stock your food in an excellent way.
-store meat, fish and delicate food;
-rapid cooling of hot food from 70°C to 3°C and of other fresh
foods and leftovers
-low temperature defrosting (it inhibits the proliferation of
microorganisms).
You can get the 0°C temperature, in standard conditions, when
the fridge compartment temperature is at about 4°C.
By decreasing the fridge temperature you decrease the CHILLER
compartment temperature too.
Using the freezer to its full potential
Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
Fresh food for freezing should not be placed in contact with the
one already frozen; it should be placed in the lower FREEZER
and STORAGE compartment that provides the best freezing
rate.
To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible,
activate the SUPER function 24 hours before placing the food
in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER
function again; it will be deactivated automatically after 24
hours;
Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked
or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break.
The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment
(for example: 2Kg/24h ).
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer
compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation
holes with food or containers.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer
door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,
ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 12-18 hours.
! To get more space inside your freezer, you can take out any
drawers (and flaps, if appropriate), from their slots, by putting
your food directly on the provided shelves.
