How to Start the Appliance
NOTICE
After the appliance has been delivered, stand it in the
upright position and wait approximately 3 hours be-
fore connecting it to the electrical outlet to guarantee
that it operates properly.
How to use the refrigerator compartment...
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature in-
side the appliance
1 = less cold
5 = colder
It is recommended that a medium setting be used.
To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and
improve appearance, this appliance has a "cooling area"
located within the back panel of the refrigerator compart-
ment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be
covered with frost or droplets of water depending on
whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time.
Do not be concerned about this! The refrigerator is operat-
ing normally.
If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while
the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient tempera-
ture high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in
the formation of frost on the back cooling area. This will
lead to an increase in energy consumption.
To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob
to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts auto-
matically.
The refrigerator compartment of your appliance is equipped
with A.I.R. System (Ariston Integrated Refrigeration) which
allows an optimal food storage while simplifying the use of the
refrigerator thanks to the following features:
- Fast temperature reset: after the doors heve been opened,
the internal temperatures return to optimal values faster,
improving food storage.
- More uniform temperature distribution: this makes it
possible to place any type of food on any shelf.
- Higher humidity level: this allows you to store food longer.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or freezer, clean
the interior well with warm water and baking soda.
After putting the plug in the socket, make sure that the
light is on inside the appliance and then turn the thermostat
knob (A) to the "3" setting. After a few hours have passed,
you can place fresh food in the refrigerator compartment
and frozen foods into the freezer.
Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of
foods: If not stored properly, even the freshest food will
deteriorate quite quickly.
Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer
than fresh food.
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with practical
slide-out shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for height
using the appropriate guides. This feature allows you to store
large containers and food products.
Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will
increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in
the refrigerator.
To use the meat/cheese box, unhook it and remove it from
the shelf. To optimise space according to your needs, the
same can be moved laterally (Fig. 2).
The side bottle rack can be used either for storing bottles
(Fig. 3) as well as several cans (2-4) placed horizontally (Fig.
4). If not in use, the bottle/can rack can be tipped up and
away to make more room inside the refrigerator.
