the food products. Do not place the
thermometer hanging or lying directly
on the shelf.
Hints:

HINT and TIPS
Saving energy
· Pay careful attention to where the
cabinet is placed. See the section
"Installation". When installed correctly,
the cabinet will consume less energy.
· Try to avoid keeping the door open
for long periods, or opening the door
too frequently as warm air will enter the
cabinet, and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
· Ensure there are no obstructions
preventing the door from closing
properly.
·Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This
will ensure safer defrosting of foods
and reduce the work of the
refrigeration unit
· It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the
appliance with a duster or vacuum
cleaner.
· Always leave warm food to cool
down to room temperature before
placing in the fridge.
· Make sure the door gasket is
complete and always clean.
Food Storage
· To obtain the best results from your
appliance, neither hot foods n or liquids
which may evaporate, should be
placed in the larder compartment.
· Avoid buying frozen food if you can
not store it straight away. The use of
an insulated container is advisable.
When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the freezer immediately.
· En sure that food placed in the freezer
is dated and labelled and used in date
order to ensure that food is consumed
at its best. Remove suspect food from
you refrigerator and clean , refer to
cleaning an d maintenance.
Protect the environment
· Hand over the cabinet packaging
and discarded fridges and freezers to a
recycling station. Contact your local
council or Environmental Health office
for more information.
· Keep foodstuff in re-usable
containers. Cut down on disposable
material as much as possible.
· When cleaning the cabinet, use a
mild washing-up detergent.
· F ollow the advice in the section
"Saving energy"
· The door gasket and coolant used in
this cabinet will not harm the ozone
layer.
· All parts in the packaging can be
recycled.
· The cabinet has been designed for
easy dismantling and subsequent
recycling.
MAINTENANCE and
CLEANING

External Cleaning
Use water/neutral soap emulsion for
cleaning the surface of stainless steel,
anti-finger-print coated. Absolutely not
touseabrasivepaste.
Wash the outer cabinet with warm
soapy water. Vacuum-clean under the
cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the
condenser (black grille) and the
compressor at the back of the
appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust
will affect the performance of the
appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.

Change of carbon filter
To maintain the best performance the
carbon filter should be changed once
a year with normal usage.
New carbon filters can be purchased
from your local dealer. The filter is
placed behind the grill and can be
reached by opening the cover. The
cover can be opened by simultaneously pressing the lever on the right
of grill (1) and turning the cover
outward (2). The carbon filter is then
pulled out of its slot (3).
The new carbon filter is placed in the
existing slot - The filter should be
handled carefully so fragments don't
loosen from the surface.

Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is defrosted automatically
every time the compressor stops. Frost
formation can be prevented by:
·not putting warm foodstuff inside
the cabinet.
·avoiding frequently opening the
door or keeping it open too long.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the
appliance, leaving the doors ajar to
prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask
somebody to check it once in a while
to prevent the food inside from spoiling
in case of a power failure.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING
Before contacting your local Service Force Centre check the following point:
ProblemPossible cause / Remedy
”” is displayed in the
temperature display.
It is too cold inside the
refrigerator.
It is too warm inside the
refrigerator.
Water comes out on the floor.
The compressor operates
continuously.
An error has occurred in measuring the
temperature. Call your service representative.
(The cooling system will continue to keep
food products cold, but temperature
adjustment will not be possible.)
Set a warmer temperature.
Set a lower temperature.
Put food products in the right place inside the
refrigerator. See the chapter "Temperature
inside the refrigerator".
Distribute the food products to allow cold air
to circulate around them.
Make sure that the door is completely closed
and that the insulating strip is complete and
clean.
Place the drain hose at the back of the
cabinet above the drain bowl. See the
chapter "Before using the cabinet the first
time".
Set a warmer temperature.

power outlet.)
Thefusehasblown.
The power plug is not properly connected.
Do not unnecessarily open the cabinet,
except when the power cut seems to be
long, in which case the food products should
be moved to another cabinet that works. If
the frozen products are still hard following the
power cut, they may be immediately refrozen.
If the food products have thawed but are still
fresh, they may be used, however they
should be prepared before re-freezing or
eating them.
Sound level in cabinet is too
high.
If after above checksthere is still a fault call your local Service Force Centre.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made
as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical
breakdown.
Please note that proof of purchase is required for in - guarantee service calls.
The refrigerating system will always produce
some sounds. A pulsing sound is heard when
coolant is pumped inside the cooling pipes.
A ticking sound from the thermostat can be
heard when the compressor switches on and
off. The sound level varies depending on the
operation of the cabinet.
If you feel the sound level is incorrect:
Make sure the pipes at the back of the
cabinet not touch each other. Carefully bend
them if they do.
If the cushion spacers (between the cabinet
wall and pipes) come loose, put them back in
place again.
Carefully follow the instructions in the chapter
"Installing the cabinet".
