[. . . ] • When using the appliance for the first time and every time the filter is changed, discard the first 9-14 litres of water, equivalent to 6-7 minutes of dispensing (not necessarily consecutive, but before initial consumption) and discard the ice produced in the first 24 hours. • If the water dispenser has not been used for more than 4/5 days, it is advisable to clean the circuit and run off the first litre of water. • Reposition the removable water dispenser (if present), ensuring your hands are hygienically clean. • Clean the ice bucket or drawer regularly but using only drinking water. [. . . ] On models that don't have this lever, press the "Water" button . On models that don't have this lever, press the "Ice" button . To start dispensing, just press lightly against the lever or press and hold the "Water" / "Ice" buttons (in models that don't have a water/ice lever). Pressing hard will not result in faster dispensing or greater quantities. To stop dispensing, remove the glass slowly so that ice does not fall outside the glass (in models with water/ice levers. ) 4. Do not use fragile or easily breakable glasses (in models with water/ice levers). If the water/ice dispenser is only used ccasionally or has been left unused for some time with the appliance switched on, the circuit will need to be cleaned and the first 2 litres of water drawn off and the first ice produced thrown away. Repeat this procedure when the product is reconnected to the power supply after prolonged disuse. The anti-condensation devices can be disabled by pressing the switch shown in the figure on the right (switch in position OFF). If there is condensation in the ice/water dispenser area or on the door, reactivate the anti-condensation devices (switch in position ON). 11 USING THE AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER (if installed) After switching on the refrigerator, it usually takes a full night for the first ice cubes to form. When selecting crushed ice (on some models only - see the Quick Start Guide), the cubes are crushed just before being dispensed, therefore the crushed ice may come out with a slight delay. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy and prolongs the life of the appliance. “MULTIFLOW” AIR SYSTEM (where provided) "MULTIFLOW" is a ventilated airflow system thanks to which the internal temperature is to all intents and purposes uniform. Food can be arranged on any shelf paying attention not to obstruct the air vents, so that air can circulate. GUIDE TO INTERNAL COMPONENTS FRESH CONTROL COMPARTMENT (if installed) The Fresh Control compartment is a container with a tilting movement that facilitates the introduction and removal of food. Opening, removing and replacing the Fresh Control compartment Open the Fresh Control compartment by pressing one of the two buttons at the top (1), while at the same time pulling the compartment as far as it will go. To remove the Fresh Control compartment, follow the instructions above and then lightly rotate and remove the compartment from its seat (2). To replace the compartment, insert the external lateral guides of the container (3a) in their seats near the retaining pins (3b). Do not store any food in metal or sharp packaging inside the Fresh Control compartment as this could damage the surface. The drawer will come out of its runners and can be pulled out further. To remove it completely, the drawer must be tilted: front end up, back end down. 13 Meat / crisper drawer temperature control (if installed) • The cold air is conveyed inside the meat drawer through an opening between the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment. In this way the temperature inside the meat drawer is kept lower than the rest of the refrigerator. • If you wish to store vegetables in the meat drawer, shift the control all the way to the left, to the fruit/vegetables setting. This will prevent any potential damage due to the vegetables freezing. [. . . ] • By moving the slider to the far left, moisture is maintained inside the compartment for better preservation of leafy vegetables. Filling To maximise storage capacity, remove the two drawers/baskets at the bottom of the freezer compartment and place foods direclty on the floor of the freezer. (This applies to appliances with capacity of less than 715 litres). 14 CHANGING A WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE (where provided) 1. Locate the water filter cartridge cap below the freezer compartment door.
