TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

TROUBLESHOOTING
Power cut
Do not open the fridge door more than necessary.
The fridge is exceptionally cold
You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a
higher position.
The fridge is exceptionally warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to the
maximum setting and wait a few minutes. If there is no humming noise, it is
not working. Contact the store where your purchase was made.
The fridge is not working
Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has
not blown. The fridge should be placed in a well-ventilated room with an
ambient temperature between 16°C and 38°C. Leave the fridge
for 30 minutes.
Condensation appears on the outside of the fridge
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residual
moisture. If the problem continues, contact the 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.

Humming, purring or pulsating
This is the compressor motor working, pumping the refrigerant around
the system.
During Holidays
• Turn off the fridge first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
• Remove all the food.
• Clean the appliance.
• Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation,
mould, or odours.
• Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be
accessible to unsupervised children.
• Short holidays: Leave the refrigerator on during holidays lasting less
than three weeks.
• Long holidays: If the appliance will not be used for several months,
remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior
thoroughly. To prevent odour and the growth of mould, leave the door ajar:
either block it open or have the door removed if necessary.
How to save energy
• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight
and away from heating ducts or radiators. Do not place the refrigerator
next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
• The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary. Do
not place hot food inside the refrigerator.
• Organise the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items
as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
• The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid an increase in
energy consumption or the formation of excess ice and / or
condensation inside.
• 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.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
