7. LIGHTING 8. FOOD STORAGE

EN

7.1 Lighting

To provide optimum interior lighting, LED strips il­luminate the refrigerator compartment from the top
and sets of LED lights directly illuminate dierent ar­eas of the refrigerator compartment.

In case of malfunction and/or wearing out of the
lighting system, the repair should be carried out by a
qualified Bertazzoni Service technician.

8.1 General directions

Your appliance is designed to ensure precise, con­stant temperatures and appropriate humidity levels
in all compartments.

Nevertheless, to properly preserve all of your foods,
it is not enough to have an excellent refrigerator. It
is also necessary to know the rules for correct food
preservation.

Do bear in mind that all foods will inevitably change
their characteristics over the passage of time. This
change begins long before the food is consumed,
since foods contain micro organisms which multi­ply and can cause deterioration. This process occurs
more rapidly due to improper handling, preservation
temperatures and humidity levels.

It is therefore recommended to follow the directions
presented below which will permit using your refrig­erator in the most eective and safe manner to keep
your foods in the best way for as long as possible.

Periodically check that all foods are in a perfect
state of preservation. It is usually quite clear when
a food item is deteriorated, due to mold, unpleasant
odor and unpleasant aspect. Nevertheless, there are
cases in which these conditions are not so evident. If
you believe that a food item was kept for an exces­sive period of time and may be deteriorated, do not
consume this item or even taste it, even if it seems to
still be healthy, since the bacteria that cause deterio­ration of food can also cause poisoning and illness.
When in doubt, throw the food away.

8. FOOD STORAGE

8.2 How to maintain good food quality

When buying groceries

Always take the following precautions:
> Place any packages of raw meat, fish or poultry in
plastic bags so that they do not drip on other foods.
> Purchase meat, poultry and fish last. Do not leave
your groceries in a warm car after shopping. Keep a
freezer bag in your car and use it in case of very high
temperatures or long trips.
> Check the production dates and “best before” times
on foods to be sure that they are fresh.
> Be very careful when buying fresh foods, and only
buy a quantity that can be consumed during your
planned preservation period.
> When possible, let warm foods adjust to room tem­perature for at least two hours before placing them
in the refrigerator, unless you have activated the
Shopping function before.

When placing foods in

Check the refrigeration temperature of the various
compartments on the control panel:
> The refrigerator temperature must be 8°C (45°F)
or lower and the freezer temperature must be -18°C
(0°F)
> Follow the recommendations regarding the pres­ervation times and temperatures indicated in the ta­bles to follow.
> Keep raw meat, fish and poultry separate from oth­er foods and avoid any possible drippings.

above normal levels. In addition to this
the display will show for one minute the
highest temperature detected inside the
compartments, to allow the user to de­cide how to better use the food items.
After one minute the display will resume
normal operation, while the Alarm button

will continue to blink.
Press the Alarm button to display the
highest recorded temperatures.

When placing foods in
> When placing your meat, fish or poultry in the

refrigerator, leave them in the original packaging,
unless the packaging is ripped or punctured. Re­peated handling could introduce bacteria into these
foods.
> To keep food in the freezer is a good idea to use
freezer containers.

> Label and date the packages
> Be careful to correctly position the food items on

the shelves in a way that does not obstruct the air
circulation vents inside the compartment.

Warning

After a prolonged interruption of electri­cal power, once the electrical power is
reactivated, an audible signal will indi­cate if the temperature has been raised

10. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

10.1 Troubleshooting Guide

If you notice malfunctions in your appliance, use this
guide before calling for service: this guide can help
you personally resolve the problem or could provide
important information to be conveyed to the service
technician to ensure rapid and eective repair.

Display message and audible alarms.

A malfunction is usually indicated by the display.
Problems that cannot be solved by the user are

Condensation inside and outside of the refrigerator.

If the climate is very humid, the formation of
condensation is normal. Opening the door or draw­ers for prolonged periods of time can contribute to
the formation of condensation.
In any case, make sure that the doors are always
completely closed.

Ice or frost build up inside the refrigerator.

Did you leave the doors open for a long period of
time?
Do the doors close completely?
If the doors do not close completely, contact your
installer.

Unpleasant odors inside the refrigerator.

Clean the appliance completely according to the
instructions.
Hermetically cover all the food. Do not conserve food
for prolonged periods of time.

The refrigerator does not work.

Is the appliance connected to the electrical power
supply?
Is electrical power available at the electricity socket?
Is the Unit button activated?
Is the unit in ‘Demo’ Mode?

The refrigerator is warmer than
usual.

Does the display show a malfunction code?
Is the temperature adjusted correctly?
Were the doors or drawers open for a long period of
time?
Were large quantities of food recently inserted?
Is the unit in ‘Demo’ Mode?

The appliance remains in function for a long time
period.

Bear in mind that during very hot weather and with
very high temperatures in the room it is normal that
the compressor remains on for prolonged periods of
time.
Were the doors or drawers open for a long period of
time?
Were large quantities of food recently inserted?
Check that the doors are closed and that the food or
containers do not obstruct the perfect closure of the
door.
Is one or more compartments in Shopping Mode?

The doors are dicult to open.

The appliance is designed to ensure a fully hermetic
closure. When the door is closed, a vacuum condition
can occur: in this case it is necessary to wait a few
seconds until the pressure balances before opening
the door.

Appliance is cooling but lights and display are not
working.

Check to see if the appliance was accidently placed
into Sabbath Mode.

If the unit you purchased was used as a
showroom model it may be in a special en­ergy-saving mode called Demo Mode where
the appliance appears to be operating (lights
work and false temperatures are displayed)
but no cooling actually takes place. If you
suspect your appliance is in Demo Mode
please contact your dealer or distributor for
assistance with disabling this feature.
