Changing the light bulb:
Never use a stronger light bulb than indicated above. The volt-
age indicated on the bulb must , in any case, comply with the
relevant data marked on the rating plate of your appliance.
•
Unplug the appliance from the main fuse.
•
Remove the transparent lamp cover
•
Remove the old bulb by unscrewing it and screw in the
replacement bulb.
•
Fit the lamp cover back in place.
Temperature range:
Thanks to the natural air circulation in the fridge there is a
range of different temperatures which are suitable for the
storage of different foods. The coldest areas are directly over
the salad crisper, in the lowest part of the fridge and against
the back wall, the warmest areas are in the front upper part
and on the door.
Arrange the foods according to the following table and store it
not too tightly packed so that the air can circulate freely.
Storing food in the fridge (from the top to the bottom)
1. Door storage compartments
a) Butter, cheese
b) Eggs
c) Small jars or bottles, tins, seasonings
d) Larger bottles, tins
2. Fridge compartment(shelves and crisper)
a) Preserves
b) Pastries, ready cooked foods
c) Dairy / meats and sausages
d) Vegetables, fruits and salad
Food which gives off or absorb , slight odour or taste, as
well as liquids, should always be kept in sealed containers
or in the shown packagings . High proof spints should be
stored tightly closed.
Vegetables, fruits, salad can be stored unpacked in the sa-
lad crispers.
Plastic and aluminium foils which can be reused, are suita-
ble for packing food, as are metal or glass containers.
Hot foods and drinks should always be allowed to cool
down out of the fridge.
Troubleshooting guides:
High quality manufacturing processes and the use of latest re-
frigerating and freezing technology will basically ensure the
trouble free functioning of your appliance. If you suspect any
fault, before contacting your nearest service department di-
rectly or via your dealer, make sure that you have followed all
instructions and advice given in this user manual.
Please note:
The compressor must not operate continuously. It is controlled
by a thermostat which you set temperatures. Noise can be
heard in every compressor, when refrigerating system works.
These noises are produced when the motor in the compressor
is running and by the refrigerant flowing through the pipes cir-
cuit.
These noises are normal and do not indicate any fault in the
functioning of your appliance.
In unheated rooms and in cold weather conditions, condensa-
tion can build up on the outer walls of the appliance. This does
not mean there is fault and it will disappear when the temper-
ature increases.
Only call the service department if after analysis of the possi-
ble fault factors, you can not find any cause for the defect or
you are able to eliminate the fault.
The appliance does not function ( it is not running)
•
Is the plug in good order and is it plugged in the socket
properly?
•
Test: place a sheet of paper between the seal and the ca-
sing and close the door. It should be difficult to pull out
the paper on
In the event of a fault or of a power failure, the insulation of
the appliance walls provides 2 to 5 hours storage time for the
frozen foods after the beginning of such failures.
Considerably more time is granted in specially insulated appli-
ances. Ask your dealer what is the relevant “ Storage time in
an emergency.”
If it takes longer to eliminate a problem, the frozen food in the
appliance begins to defrost. Therefore , take prompt action to
eliminate the problem and, if necessary, move the frozen food
to another freezer (perhaps to another refrigerator)
Your appliance is not cooling sufficiently.
The freezing process is taking too long and the compressor is
running too often
Please check:
•
Did you make sure that the fridge / freezer was left to
stand for at least 2 hours before switching it on? ( To stabi-
lize the circulation of the refrigerating fluid) see “ starting
up”
If not, unplug your appliance and lift it to one side, with the
door closed, for a short while, i.e. tilt it and then place it back
down on its feet again. After 2 hours plug it back in. Do not
open the door again for about 12 hours.
The door does not close tightly and it not sealing properly.
•
Is the electricity coming through? (check this by possibly
plugging in a small appliance)
•
Is the appliance switched on? ( temperature dial should
not be set to “ 0 “ )
•
One or more sides, call your nearest service department.
•
Heavy ice forming on the inside walls of the freezer ( see
“ cleaning and maintenance)
•
The appliance is exposed to direct sunlight or it sited near
a direct heat source.
•
Protect the appliance against direct sunlight / check the
distance from the heat source / place an insulation plate
between the appliance and the source of heat. ( see
“choosing where to install your appliance” )
