ENVIRONMENTAL HINTS

Packing

Do not throw the packing into the garbage: first sort out

the different materials (i.e.: steel, cardboard, polystyrene)

following local regulations.

Conformity declaration

This appliance incorporates parts intended to come into

contact with foodstuffs in compliance with EEC direc-

tive 89/09/CEE.

Information

This appliance is free of CFC’s (refrigerant circuit contains

R34a) or free of HFC’s (refrigerant circuit contains R600a -

Isobutane). For more details, please refer to the rating

plate on the appliance.

For appliances with Isobutane (R600a)

The refrigerant is a natural gas of high e nvironmental com-

patibility but which is inflammable. Therefore, it is essential

to ensure that the ducts of the refrigerant circuit do not

get damaged.

KNOW YOUR FROST-FREE APPLIANCE

The main advantage of your refrigerator/freezer with fan cir-

culation is the total absence of frost and ice forming on the

compartments walls, thanks to the process described below.

The cold air is produced by an evaporator and is circulated by

means of a fan into the compartments.

The air, having been circulated, is again passed to the evapora-

tor. This keeps the humidity low. In this way, there will be no

frost formation on the compartment walls, as in a traditional

appliance. The moisture in the air is retained by the evaporator,

transformed into frost and then into water, this automatically

flows into a tray where it evaporates. The “ventilated cold” sys-

tem ensures a better storage of foods by maintaining their ori-

ginal condition for a longer period of time.

Besides these characteristics, which are typical of the FROST

FREE system, the 0

C special compartment offers the addi-

tional advantage for the storage of delicate and perishable

foods in the low temperature compartment.

INSTALLATION (Fig. 2)

Please check your appliance and ensure that it is undamaged:

any transport damage must be reported to your dealer within

24 hours of receipt. The appliance should not be installed close

to heat sources such as cookers, central heating boilers, direct

sunlight, etc. It must however be located in a well ventilated

dry space, and in a housing following the separate instructions

supplied. The housing has to be provided with a front and rear

ventilation gap. The rear ventilation gap has to remain free: do

not cover it with any object or sheet of paper

(Fig. 3)

.The

door support (if provided)

(Fig. 4)

is for transport purpose

only. After installation of the appliance into the housing, fit the

plinth

(Fig. )

and clean the interior with a sponge dampened

in a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar.

We suggest you reheat slightly the door gaskets

(Fig. 5) to

reestablish their original elasticity.

Attention

Please ensure that the supply socket is accessible after in-

stallation, in case the appliance requires a prompt discon-

nection. If not possible, connect the appliance to a double-

pole switching device with contact separation of at least 3

mm placed in a accessible position even after installation.

If I want my fridge-freezer to be colder, should I choose for a higher or lower setting? Verified

With most fridge-freezers a higher setting means the machine will cool harder. With a lower setting, the machine will cool less hard and the temperature in the fridge-freezer will be higher.

The drain hole in my fridge-freezer is dirty/clogged, how do I clean it? Verified

There are special cleaning devices to do this, but it is also possible to remove blockage or dirt with a cotton swab. To keep the drain hole clean and prevent smells it is advisable to put a drop of chlorine bleach in the drain 4 times a year.

How often should I defrost my freezer? Verified

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.

My fridge-freezer makes a bubbling sound, is that normal? Verified

Modern fridge-freezers make use of an environmentally friendly cooling agent. During the cooling process this substance turns into a gas, which can cause a bubbling and/or hissing sound. This is perfectly normal.

This was helpful (2132) Read more

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.

This was helpful (1400) Read more

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.

De door of my fridge-freezer will not close properly, why is that? Verified

The two most common causes are that the fridge-freezer is not level and that the door seal is damaged or has food remains on it. Make sure the fridge-freezer is level and check the door seal. Replace the seal if neccesary.

How much space should I leave betwee my fridge-freezer and the wall? Verified

To ensure a good ventilation it's best to leave at least 5cm of free space on both sides and the back of the fridge-freezer.

What do the stars on the freezer mean? Verified

The stars indicate the freezing capacity. 1 star indicates a freezing capacity down to -6ºC. This makes the freezer suitable for making ice cubes or storing previously frozen goods for up to two weeks. Fresh food cannot be frozen. 2 stars indicates a freezing capacity down to -12ºC. This makes the freezer suitable for storing previously frozen goods for up to two months. Fresh food cannot be frozen. 3 stars indicates a freezing capacity down to -18ºC. This makes the freezer suitable

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.
