7.1 Activation and use of the Ice Maker
Notes
> If the ice is not used frequently is advisable
to empty the ice bin once every 8-10 days.
It is normal that some ice cubes stick to one
another. If the ice is not frequently used, the
older cubes can become opaque, and will
have a strange flavour and become smaller.
> The Icemaker automatically deactivates if
the Vacation function is activated.
When the Icemaker is started for the first
time, it is recommended to dispose of the first
full bin of ice.
> If the equipment has been switched o for
a month or more, it is recommended to perform a water cleaning cycle.
> The ice maker will only produce ice with the
TriMode compartment set to Freezer Mode.
The ice maker will continue to operate even
when the ice bin is not in position
To activate the Ice Maker after installation of the appliance, press the Icemaker button
Please note that 12 to 24 hours are necessary before
ice production may begin.
The production is of 10 cubes per cycle in approximately 10 cycles in 24 hours.
The yield depends on the temperature set in the
freezer, the room temperature and the frequency of
door opening.
If the appliance is operating without being connected
to the water system, make sure that the Icemaker is
deactivated by pressing the button
The Ice Maker produces ice until the ice tray is full
and will automatically stop once the maximum level
is reached.
With the SuperIce function, it is possible to increase
the quantity of ice produced a 24 hours, while the Set
Cube Size function permits selection of the size of
the produced ice cubes.
Do the ice cubes have an unusual odour?
Ice is a porous material which can absorb odours
from the environment. Ice cubes which have been in
the ice cube container for a long time may absorb
odours, stick together and slowly become smaller.
We recommend that old ice cubes not be used.
Other means of preventing odors:
.
.
> The ice cube container should be cleaned occa-
sionally with warm water. Make sure that you switch
o the ice maker before clearing the container. Rinse
out and wipe dry.
> Check the contents of the freezer for spoiled or out-
of-date food. All odorous foods should be wrapped
thoroughly or stored in airtight containers to prevent
the build-up of odors.
> The water filter may have to be replaced in some
models.
> In some cases the quality of the water connection
in the house should be checked.
Operating noises
Quite normal noises
> Grumbling: refrigerating unit is running. Fan in the
recirculating air system is running.
> Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises: refrigerant
is flowing through the tubes.
> Clicking: motor is switching on or o. Solenoid
valve on the water connection is opening/closing.
> Rumbling: ice cubes are falling into the ice cube
container.
> Note:
the appliance is powered by two independent
compressors. It is therefore normal to always
have one of two compressors in operation.
Warning
Do not place any bottles or food for rapid
cooling in the ice cube container. The ice
maker may become blocked and be damaged.
7.2 Water Filter (not 0F model)
The Water Filter makes available high-quality water for the production of ice cubes. It provides up
to 3000 liters of water for a maximum time of 12
months.
Reset water filter in the
settings menu or by pressing the Enter button
for 5 seconds.
When the filter is nearly expired the message “Replace Filter” will appear on the display.
Filter Replacement
The filter is located inside the refrigerator compartment, above the top glass panel. Prior to changing
the filter, switch o the Ice Maker by pressing the
IceMaker button.
Open the top glass panel and carefully rotate the
filter cartridge for a quarter rotation in a counter
clockwise direction until it detaches from its housing. It is normal for a small quantity of water to
come out. Remove the cap of the new cartridge and
insert it into the housing by gently rotating it for
a quarter rotation in a clockwise direction until it
locks into place.
Then enter the Fhiaba Access Menu and set “Manual Clean” function. At the end of the cleaning cycle
remove the water from the ice tray and wipe it dry.
7.3 Water filter for freezer column
ice maker
Freezer columns equipped with automatic ice-makers include an externally mounted water filter kit.
The water filter manifold and waterline connections
must be installed in conjunction with the fridge as
the waterline connecting the back of the appliance
to the filter kit must be in place before installing the
unit.
The filter kit should be installed in an accessible location (such as an adjacent cabinet) to allow for the
water filter cartridge to be changed annually.
If you choose not to use the water filter (such as
connecting the appliance to an already filtered water source) then it is suggested to also set the “Bypass filter” function to ‘ON’ to avoid receiving reminders to change the filter (that you are not using).
For more details and how to access this function
setting, follow instructions on page 17 of the included instruction manual: “How to activate filter
Bypass”.

To provide optimum interior lighting, LED strips illuminate the refrigerator compartment from the top
and sets of LED lights directly illuminate dierent areas of the refrigerator compartment, of the CrisperFresco drawers and the freezer drawer.
In case of malfunction and/or wearing out of the
lighting system, the repair should be carried out by a
qualified Fhiaba Service technician.
9.1 General directions
Your Fhiaba is designed to ensure precise, constant
temperatures and appropriate humidity levels in all
compartments.
In addition, the double refrigeration ensures that frozen foods and ice do not absorb the odor of fresh
foods and that the humidity in the refrigerator does
not freeze and build up frost.
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/freezer in the most eective and safe manner to keep your foods in the best way for as long as
possible.
Bear in mind that the Crisper-Fresco area is the area
for preserving the most delicate fresh foods, since it
ensures constant average temperature near freezing.
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.

9.2 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 tem-
perature 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 7°C (46°F)
or lower and the freezer temperature must be -18°C
(0°F)
> Follow the recommendations regarding the pres-
ervation times and temperatures indicated in the tables to follow.
> Keep raw meat, fish and poultry separate from oth-
er foods and avoid any possible drippings.
When placing foods in
> When placing in the refrigerator your meat, fish or
poultry, leave these in their 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.
Notes
When a high level of humidity is present either in the environment or in the foods placed
in the Fresco drawers, the bottom of the
Fresco compartment might be covered with
some water or ice (if the temperature is set
between 0°C and -2C°).
Such condition is normal and it is due to the
high humidity levels of the Fresco compartment; high humidity together with low temperatures is what guarantees a longer preservation of foods.
Water or ice can disappear on its own if the
air humidity level should lower; it is also possible to remove the water with a towel. If a
thin layer of ice has formed, set the temperature of the Fresco compartment to +2°C and
after one day remove the water with a towel.
If the layer of ice is thicker, it might be necessary to shut o the Fresco compartment for
one day in order to melt it.
Warning
After a prolonged interruption of electrical power, once the electrical power is reactivated, an audible signal will indicate if
the temperature has raised 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.

12.1 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 eective repair.
Malfunction message
A malfunction is usually indicated by a message on
the display.
Problems that cannot be solved by the user are signaled through a malfunction code.
The refrigerator or the freezer does not work
Is the appliance connected to the electrical power
supply?
Is electrical power available at the electricity socket?
Is the Unit button
Is the unit in ‘Demo’ Mode?
The refrigerator or the freezer 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?
activated?
Ice or frost build up inside the refrigerator
or freezer
Did you leave the doors open for a long period of
time?
Do the doors close perfectly?
If the doors do not close perfectly, contact your installer.
In case of frost or ice build up in the Crisper-Fresco
compartment, due to frequent and prolonged opening of the doors, deactivate the Crisper-Fresco function via the button on the control panel. Wait until the
frost or ice melt, then remove the drawer and dry the
sides and bottom of the compartment.
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 doors are dicult 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.

make sure that the problem is not due to the water
supply.
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 point of purchase for assistance with disabling this feature.
