Switching the appliance on and temperature adjustment
Switch the power to the appliance on.
If you have purchased a model with antibacterial filter, the filter
should be fitted in place now. (refer to “Maintenance and cleaning” of
the appliance). The ideal temperatures for preserving foods are
already factory set.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the acoustic
signal sounds and the red light (10) flashes, indicating that the
temperature inside the freezer is still not cold enough for introducing
food. The acoustic signal can be deactivated by pressing the button
(11) on the control panel. Place food in the freezer only when the
red alarm light has gone off.
Note:
• 4-5 hours are required for the refrigerator compartment to reach
a temperature suitable for storage.
• Ambient temperature, frequency of door opening and position of
the appliance can affect the temperature inside the two
compartments. These factors should be taken into account when
setting the thermostat position.
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the
refrigerator ensures the free circulation of air.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the
refrigerator compartment.
• Do not place hot food in the compartments.
• Store liquids in closed containers.
• Storing vegetables with high water content can cause
condensation to form: this does not affect correct appliance
operation.
