BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, no-
frost fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use.
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...
