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). Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the internal light illuminates ( the FREEZER OPERATION knob must not be on the position ) . Turn the FREEZER OPERATION knob and REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to an average value. After a few hours you will be able to put food in the refrigerator. 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. 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. Setting the temperature The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment automatically adjusts itself according to the position of the thermostat knob. min = warmest max = coldest We recommend, however, a medium position. TEMPERATURE Indicator light*: to identify the coldest area in the refrigerator. 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. 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. To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers. Ice3 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). Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL).
