temperatures between +10°C and +38°C.
Optimal peformance is obtained at temperatures
between +16°C and +32°C.
Switching on the appliance
Press the refrigerator compartment "ON"
button (1).
The inside light switches on when the
•
refrigerator door is opened.
An acoustic alarm (only available on
•
electronic models) sounds when the door has
been left open for more than 1 minute; it will
switch off when the door is closed.
Green LED (2) switches on, indicating

Information
Appliances with isobutane (R600a)
Isobutane is a natural gas having low
environmental impact. Caution is required,
however, because Isobutane is inflammable.
Therefore, ensure that the pipelines of the
refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.
Important:
There is no need to adjust the compartment
•
temperature using the thermostat knob or set
the temperature using the button
(in electronic models), as the temperature is
factory set (+5° for electronic models)
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 approx. 30 minutes to reach the
correct temperature to store a typical volume
of food in the refrigerator compartment.
