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 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.

4. Turn the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an

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

food in the refrigerator.

Chiller system

No Frost

It is recognisable by

aeration cells located on

the back walls of the

compartments.

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.

SHELVES

: with or without grill.

Due to the special guides the

shelves are removable and the

height is adjustable (

see

diagram

), allowing easy storage

of large containers and food.

Height can be adjusted without

complete removal of the shelf.

FLEX COOL BOX

*

This is the new box to keep meat, fish and cheese fresh.

When positioned in the “lower” part of the fridge

compartment, it is ideal for meat and fish; when moved

to the “top” part of the fridge, it is perfect for cheese.

It

can be taken out of the fridge when it is not needed.

FLEXY SHELVES

*

The central shelf of the fridge compartment folds on

itself to create space for the bulky containers located on

the shelf beneath it.

For maximum flexibility in the use of internal space, the

shelf can be positioned in place of other shelves

according to the required need.

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.

WARNING: 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 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);

! 

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.

 ice tray

The fact that they are situated on the top part of the

freezer drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no

longer comes into contact with the food placed inside

the freezer compartment; furthermore, the dripping of

the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the

hole after filling with water is also provided).

1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.

Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with

water through the opening provided.

2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX

WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes

from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to

melt and empty the tray).

3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments

each mould fills with water (

see diagram

).

4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the

tray back.

5. When the ice has formed (minimum time

approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard

surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes

come loose and take them out through the opening.
