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
.
GB
TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in
the refrigerator.
1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator light (see
diagram).
2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that the temperature
is too high: adjust the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher position (colder) and wait approximately 10 hours until
the temperature has been stabilised.
3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary, readjust it following
the initial process. If large quantities of food have been added
or if the refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is
normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at least 10 hours
before adjusting the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a
higher setting.
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
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never
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 the
level of 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.
ACTIVE OXIGEN
This device releases ozone molecules inside the refrigerator;
ozone is a natural substance which combats bacteria and
microorganisms, reducing their proliferation while limiting
unpleasant odours.
Automatically defines the amount of ozone required for prolonging
the freshness of foodstuffs, eliminating odours and preventing
bacteria build-up.
There may be a slight distinctive odour inside the refrigerator.
The very same smell can sometimes be detected during a storm,
due to the ozone produced as the charge in the lightning bolts
is released; this is completely normal. The amount produced by
the device is very small and abates quickly as the antibacterial
action takes place.
Device is activated pressing the dedicated key on the dashboard.
With the Active Oxigen switched on, the device will operate
a repeted cycle until the key is pressed again. There will be
an Ozone emission noticed by the switching on of the green
led located on the Active Oxigen device located in the fridge
compartment and a stand-by cicle (without zone emission) noticed
by blue light.

after use, clean it with a soft cleaning textile.
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.
• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate
the SUPER FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food
in the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER
FREEZE function again; it will be deactivated automatically after
24 hours;
• 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
