5/ USE

EN
First use
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand new
product, then dry thoroughly.
Important!
• Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
• After transport, unpacking and installation, let the appliance rest at least 2 hours in vertical
position before connecting to the power supply.
• Let the appliance run for at least 2 hours before inserting fresh or frozen foods.
Temperature setting
The internal temperature is controlled by the thermostat at the side wall of the refrigerator
compartment.
The marks on the knob are the temperature grades and are not
the temperature degrees. "OFF" is a forced stop and "7" shows
the lowest temperature. The numbers from "1" to "7" shows a
temperature decrease from the highest to the lowest. You may
set the temperature control selector to any position as needed.
In normal use, set the selector to the "4" position.
Temperature indicator
In order to help you get the correct setting of the appliance, the appliance is equipped with a
temperature gauge which is placed in the coldest area.
This symbol indicates the coldest part of the refrigerator. It defines the highest
level of this zone.
Make sure the temperature indicator placed in the coldest area shows "OK". If
"OK" is not displayed, this indicates that the average temperature in this area
will become high.
If the OK" indicator is not displayed, you should adjust the temperature lower and observe the
following points.
• Wait until stabilization of the internal temperature of the appliance before a temperature
adjustment. Change the settings of the thermostat gradually and wait at least 12 hours to
see whether a further temperature adjustment is needed.
• If food is added in the appliance or repeated/prolonged door opening occurs, it is normal
that the "OK" indicator is not displayed. In this case, wait at least 12 hours before adjusting
the temperature lower.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-
frozen food for a long time.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
Storing frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the product in the
compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on a higher setting.
WARNING: In the event of accidental defrosting (for example the power is off ), the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after being
cooked).
