RECOMANDATION IN CASE OF NO

USE OF THE APPLIANCE

Short vacation

There is no need to disconnect the appliance from the

power supply if you will be away for less than three

weeks. Use up perishable food, freeze other food.

If your appliance has an automatic ice maker:

1. Turn it off.

2. Shut off the water supply to the automatic ice

maker.

3. Empty the ice bucket.

Long vacation

Remove all the food if you are going away for three

weeks or more. If your appliance has an automatic

ice maker:

1. Turn it off.

2. Shut off the water supply to the automatic

icemaker at least a day before.

3. Empty the ice bucket.

Fix some wooden or plastic wedges to the upper

part of both doors with adhesive tape and leave the

doors open enough for air to circulate inside both

compartments. This will prevent odour and mould

from setting in.

Moving

1. Take out all internal parts.

2. Wrap them well, and fix them together with

adhesive tape so that they do not bang together

or get lost.

3. Screw the adjustable feet so that they do not

touch the support surface.

4. Close and fix both doors with adhesive tape and,

again using adhesive tape, fix the power cable to

the appliance.

Power failure

In the event of a power failure, call the local office of

your electricity supply company and ask how long it is

going to last. Note: Bear in mind that a full appliance

will stay cold longer than a partially filled one.

If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be

frozen again, although flavour and aroma may be

affected.

If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best

to throw it away.

For power failures lasting up to 24 hours.

1. Keep both doors of the appliance closed. This

will allow the stored food to stay cold as long as

possible.

For power failures lasting more than 24 hours.

1. Empty the freezer compartment and arrange the

food in a portable freezer. If this type of freezer

is not available and, likewise, no artificial ice packs

are available, try to use up the food, which is

more easily perishable.

2. Empty the ice bucket.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Before contacting After-sales Service....

Performance problems often result from little

things you can find and fix yourself without tools of

any kind.

Noises coming from your appliances are

normal since it has a number of fans and

engines to regulate performances that switch

on and off automatically.

Some of the functional noises can be reduced

through

- Levelling the appliance and installing it on an

even surface

- Separating and avoiding contact between the

appliance and furniture.

- Checking if the internal components are

correctly placed.

- Checking if bottles and containers are not in

contact with each other.

Some of the functional noises you might hear:

A hissing sound when switching on the

appliance for the first time or after a long

pause.

A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluid enters

into the pipes.

Buzzing sound when water valve or fan start

working.

A cracking sound when compressor starts or

when ready ice drops into ice box Abrupt

clicks when compressor switches on and off.

Automatic Ice maker noises (on some

models):

- Since your appliance has an automatic ice

maker, you may hear buzzing (from the water

valve), trickling water and the clatter of the ice

falling into the bucket.

The appliance is not working:

• Is the power cable plugged into a live socket with

the proper voltage?

• Have you checked the protection devices and

fuses of the electrical system in your home?

If your automatic ice maker does not work (on

some models):

• Has the freezer had enough time to become cold?

With a new appliance this may take overnight.

How often should I defrost my freezer? Verified

I bought a new fridge-freezer, can I turn it on immediately? Verified

No, the fridge-freezer needs to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it can be turned on. This is because the coolant liquid needs to settle.

Is it normal that water or ice drops are forming on the back wall of my fridge-freezer? Verified

Yes, this a completely normal phenomenom. The moisture that enters the fridge-freezer with warm air or products will settle on the coldest part, being the back wall. Because the back wall can reach temperatures below freezing, the drops will freeze from time to time. When the fridge-freezer is idle the drops will thaw and flow to the drain of the fridge-freezer.

How long does it take for my refrigerator to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the refrigerator. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the refrigerator. The temperature in the refrigerator cannot be measured properly by feeling the air inside. The best way to tell if the refrigerator has reached the set temperature is to place a glass of water in the refrigerator with a thermometer in it.

There is condensation in my refrigerator, why is that? Verified

There can be several causes. The door gasket can be defective, allowing outside air into the refrigerator. It's also possible that the refrigerator is not level, preventing the door from closing correctly. Another cause is a large difference between the temperature inside the refrigerator and outside while the door is being opened frequently.

There is mold on the rubber seals of my fridge-freezer, what should I do? Verified

The rubber seals are not actually inside the fridge-freezer and are therefore warmer. This allows bacteria to grow and mold to form. Clean the rubbers regularly to prevent this.
