BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, no-frost
fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use.
The great advantage of this appliance is that the
refrigerator and freezer compartments are ventilated,
therefore there is no ice or frost formation on the
walls, thanks to the process described below. The cold
is produced by an evaporator and distributed to the
single compartments by means of a fan.
The air, after circulating in the compartments, is
absorbed again by the evaporator, which also retains
any humidity in the air. This prevents frost from
forming on the compartment walls, as in traditional
appliances, therefore

HOW TO OPERATE THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator compartment is designed for the storage of
fresh food and beverages.
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely
automatic.
The refrigerator can operate at ambient temperatures between
+10°C and +38°C. Optimal performance is obtained at
temperatures between +16°C and +32°C.
Switching on the appliance

The appliance will switch on automatically.
The inside light switches on when the refrigerator door is
opened.
To adjust the temperature, follow the instructions in the
accompanying chart.
Important:
There is no need to adjust the thermostat knob as the
temperature is factory set to ensure the correct storage
temperature for fresh foods at ambient temperatures
between +20°C and +25°C.
After being switched on, the refrigerator needs
approximately 2 hours to reach the correct temperature to
store a typical volume of food in the refrigerator
compartment.
To switch off the appliance
In models without the "COOL" compartment, air distribution in
the lower part of the refrigerator can be adjusted by means of the
