Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
GB
! 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.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
internal light illuminates.
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an
average value. After a few hours you will be able to put
food in the refrigerator.
Setting the temperature
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the
thermostat knob.
1 = warmest
5 = coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located inside the
back wall of the refrigerator compartment for increased
space and improved aesthetics. During operation, the
back wall will be covered in frost or water droplets
depending on whether the compressor is operating or
paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is functioning
normally.
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set
on high values with large quantities of food and with a
high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate
continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and
excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by
shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will
occur automatically).
PURE WIND
It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism
on the top part of the refrigerator compartment (see
diagram).

Pure Wind maximises air circulation, improving the
efficiency of the evaporator and helping to achieve the
optimal temperature inside the refrigerator as quickly as
possible each time it has been opened. The blown air (A)
is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall,
whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up (see diagram).
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the
1
shelves are removable and the
height is adjustable (see
2
diagram), allowing easy storage
of large containers and food.
Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
MULTI-USE bin: to store food
(such as cold meats) for a long
time and also prevent odours
from lingering in the refrigerator. It
can be removed for use and it
may be shifted sideways to
optimise space (see diagram).
FRUIT and VEGETABLE bin
The salad crispers fitted inside the fridge have been
specially designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and
vegetables fresh and crisp. Open the humidity regulator
(position B) if you want to store food in a less humid
environment, or close it (position A) to store food in a
more humid environment.
The easy-to-open lids (all you have to do is pull the crisper
out) make it easy to put food in and take it out.
BEVERAGE CAN shelves.
The can rack on the inner
door allows you to store not
only cans, but also yoghurt,
butter and other containers,
according to your
requirements.
