6. USING THE APPLIANCE

6.1 Switching the appliance on

After connecting the device to the power supply, see section "9.3 Electrical connection", adjust the

thermostats as described above.

When first turned on, the appliance must operate continuously for 24 hours before cooling to a suitable

temperature.

During this period do not open the door too often and do not place large amounts of food inside the

appliance.

When the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before restarting or plugging it

in so as not to damage the compressor.

Important

Changes in climatic conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which fresh

food is put into the compartments and the door is opened affect the appliance’s operating

temperatures.

6.2 Arranging foods inside the refrigerator compartment

Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This

precaution ensures that:

- the flavour, moisture and freshness of the foods can be preserved;

- any contamination of foods with odours or tastes from other foods can be avoided.

- the humidity level inside the refrigerator is prevented from becoming too high as a result of the normal

transpiration of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in

ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause

condensation to form on the shelves.

- Suitably prepare the meat and cleaned fish that will be consumed within 1-2 days(by enclosing

them.in containers or wrapping them in plastic).

- Fruits and vegetables can be inserted into the appropriate compartment without being packed.

- Only use containers suitable for keeping food in. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room

temperature before putting them in the compartment.

- To reduce moisture and the consequent increase of frost never put liquids in open containers inside

the refrigerator.

- Do not keep explosive substances in the appliance and only keep drinks with a high alcohol content

in it if they are properly closed and kept vertical.
