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).

1. Set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on

2. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the green

POWER indicator light illuminates.

3. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an

average value. After a few hours you will be able to put

food in the refrigerator.

4. Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob to an average

value and press the SUPER FREEZE button (rapid

freezing): the SUPER FREEZE indicator light will

illuminate. Once the refrigerator has reached the optimal

temperature, the indicator light goes out and you can

begin food storage.

Chiller 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

 Use the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to adjust

the temperature (see Description).

 Press the SUPER COOL button (rapid cooling) to lower

the temperature quickly. For example, when you place a

large number of new food items inside a fridge the

internal temperature will rise slightly. The function

quickly cools the groceries by temporarily reducing the

temperature until it reaches the ideal level.

 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.

Using the freezer to its full potential

 Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the

temperature (see Description).

 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 that needs to be frozen must not come into

contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food

must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE

compartment where the temperature drops below -18°C and

guarantees rapid freezing.

 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: Kg/24h: 4).

 To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):

press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button

(corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates), insert the

food and close the door. The function is disabled

automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures

have been reached (indicator light goes out);

! 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 9 -

14 hours.
