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.
·
do not place foodstuffs directly against the cold
cooling plate.
To Change the Light Bulb
The light is switched on automatically when the
door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb,
disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Cut the packaging around the bulb socket.
Keep the packaging on to hold the bulb when setting
it into the socket. Do not touch the bulb with your
bare fingers. Halogen light bulbs are sensitive to
grease from the skin.
Use a clear, UV-blocked, low-pressure type halogen
light bulb. Socket G4. Voltage 12 V. Power rating
20 W/bulb.
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
GB
Before
contacting your local Service Force Centre check the following point:
Problem
Possible cause / Remedy
Audible alarm + flashing red warning
lamp.
(It is too warm inside the freezer.)
Switch off the audible alarm by pressing the alarm shut-off
button.
The audible alarm could have been triggered by:
The cabinet having been recently switched on and the
temperature still being too high. See the chapter "Switching on
and setting the temperature".
It is too warm inside the refrigerator.
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.
It is too cold inside the refrigerator.
Set a warmer temperature.
Vegetables and other products that are easily frozen have been
placed on a "too cold" shelf. See the chapter "Temperature
inside the refrigerator".
There is water on the cooling plate inside
the refrigerator.
This is normal. During automatic defrosting, frost thaws on the
cooling plate.
