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, therefore there is no need to defrost the appliance. The humidity absorbed by the evaporator is transformed into water, which is automatically routed to a container located on the compressor, from where it evaporates. The ventilated refrigeration system guarantees optimal food storage, maintaining the original characteristics longer. To get the most out of your new appliance, read the user handbook thoroughly. The handbook contains a description of the appliance and useful tips for storing food. Keep this handbook for future consultation. 1. After unpacking, make sure that the appliance is undamaged and that the door closes properly. Any damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of the appliance. 2. Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance on in order to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient. 3. Installation of the appliance and electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local safety regulations. 4. Clean the inside of the appliance before using it. SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT 1. Packing The packaging material is 100% recyclable and carries the recycling symbol.
