Setting up Your Appliance
ATTENTION
After transport stand the appliance upright and wait
at least 3 hours before plugging the appliance into the
mains to ensure proper performance.
Use these average temperature settings to ensure op-
timum performance and to save energy.
Food hygiene
1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external
packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers,
which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your
refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and
those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact
between them, thereby removing both the possibility of
germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of
strong odours inside the fridge.
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate
freely between different items.
Storage - getting the most out of your appliance.
- Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder,
heavier air tends to descend towards the bottom. This is
why meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper.
- Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of
foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will
deteriorate quite quickly.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer
than fresh food.
- Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will
increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in
the refrigerator.
The temperature indicator
The fridge has been equipped with a temperature indicator
for an improved, more precise definition of the coldest zone.
Make sure "OK" comes up on the indicator.
Correct lighting also ensures an easier indicator reading.

Before storing food in your refrigerator wipe the interior with
a solution of warm water and bicarbonate of soda.
After having plugged the appliance into the socket, make
sure that the refrigerator light has turned on. Then turn the
thermostat knob "A" to setting "3". After a couple of hours,
you can place fresh food into the refrigerator.

If the word "OK" does not appear it means that the tempe-
rature is too high.
Adjust the thermostat (of the fridge compartment) to a higher
setting (colder).
Each time you adjust the thermostat setting, wait for the
temperature inside the fridge compartment to become stable
(approximately 10 hours) before making any further
adjustments.
WARNING: Should you place large quantities of food inside
the fridge or should the fridge door have been opened
frequently or for a prolonged period of time, it is quite normal
for OK not to come up on the indicator.
Wait at least 10 hours before adjusting the thermostat to a
higher setting.

items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored
in the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just
above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator
is situated.
