TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Trouble Shooting
Power cut
If the internal temperature of the Fridge/Freezer compart-
ment is -18
℃
or less when the power returns, your food is
safe. The food in your Fridge/Freezer will remain frozen for
approx 16 hours with the door closed. Do not open the
Fridge/Freezer door more than necessary.
The Fridge/Freezer is exceptionally cold
You may have accidentally set the refrigerator temperature to
a higher position.
The Fridge/Freezer is exceptionally warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the display panel
button to the coldest gear 2 and wait a few minutes.
If there is no humming noise, it is not working. Contact the
local store where your purchase was made.
The Fridge/Freezer is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in
the plug has not blown. Plug
In another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is
working. The Fridge/Freezer should be placed in a well venti-
lated room with an ambient temperature of between
16
℃
and 32
℃
. Leave the Fridge/Freezer for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the
Fridge/Freezer
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe
off any residue of moisture. If the problem continues contact
the local store where your purchase was made.
GURGLING, WHOOSHING
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant
liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced
since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and
will not affect the performance of your Fridge/Freezer.
HUMMING, PURRING OR PULSATING
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrig-
erant around the system.
Moving the Fridge/Freezer
Location
Do not place your Fridge/Freezer near a heat source, eg.
Cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in out-
buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling the Fridge/Freezer
Make sure the Fridge/Freezer is level. Use the rotating level-
ing feet at the front. If the Fridge/Freezer is not level, the
doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may
cause your Fridge/Freezer to work incorrectly.
Do not turn on the Fridge/Freezer for 4 hours
After the Fridge/Freezer is in place it needs to be left for 4
hours. This allows time for the coolant to settle.
Installation
Don’t cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
Vacation Time
•
Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit
from the wall outlet.
•
Remove all the food.
•
Clean the refrigerator.
•
Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of
condensation, mold, or odors.
•
Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit
should not be accessible to child’s play.
•
Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during
vacations of less than three weeks.
•
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for sev-
eral months, remove all food and unplug the power cord.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor
and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking
it open if necessary or have the door removed.
How to save energy
01. Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out
of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or regis-
ters. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing
appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
02. The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as
necessary; do not place hot food inside the refrigerator.
03. Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings
.Remove as many items as needed at one time and
close the door as soon as possible.
04. The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid
increased energy consumption, and the formation of ex-
cess ice and / or condensation inside.
05. Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature
homogenous inside the refrigerator. For this reason, it
is important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate
the flow of air.
06. Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them
in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
07. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents.
Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use
more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum
foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with
cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient,
which could cause food spoilage.
08. During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is
advisable to disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the
food, and clean it . The door should be left slightly open
to avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not affect
the refrigerator when it is reconnected.
09. During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigera-
tor can remain on. However, remember that prolonged
power outages may occur while you are gone.
