Hints

Saving Energy

¥ Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the

section ÒInstallationÓ. When installed correctly the cabinet will

consume less energy.

¥ Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening

the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and

cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

¥ If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the

coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully

loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or

ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a

warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow a saving in electricity

consumption.

¥ Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods

to cool first.

¥ Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear

wall of your appliance, always clean.

Hints for refrigeration

¥ Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator

and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong

smell.

To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful

hints:

Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in polythene

bags and place on top of the salad compartment, this being the

coldest spot in the refrigerator.

Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one or two

days at the most.

¥ Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be well

covered and can be stored on any of the glass shelves.

Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and

placed in the bottom drawer.

Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special airtight

containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to

keep out as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in

the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must

not be kept in the refrigerator.

Ice cube production

The refrigerator is equipped with one or more ice cube trays,

which should be filled with drinking water and placed in the special

compartment.

Do not use metal implements to detach the trays.

maintenance operation.

stopper of the water collector tray is firmly inserted in the water

drain hole;

2. Once defrosted, turn the thermostat knob on a medium position

to restart the appliance.The water which has collected in the

tray placed under the evaporator must be removed.

under the water drain hole of the defrost tray and remove the

stopper as shown in the figure.

4. dry thoroughly the ice-compartment and replace the stopper.

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

Yes, this a completely normal phenomenom. The moisture that enters the refrigerator 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 refrigerator is idle the drops will thaw and flow to the drain of the refrigerator.

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

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.

Can I put warm food or drinks in my refrigerator? Verified

Preferably not. The temperature in your refrigerator will rise, which negatively impacts the other items that are stored inside.

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 refrigerator, what should I do? Verified

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