Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not work, before calling for Service center (see Service certiﬁ cate),

check for a solution from the following list.

Green LED does not light up.

Have you checked whether:

The main switch for the power supply to the

apartment or home has been turned off;

The plug is properly inserted in the outlet;

The outlet is adequate; try inserting the plug into

another outlet in the room.

The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool

properly.

Have you checked whether:

Installation

Positioning and connection

Proper installation of the appliance is essential to

ensure the best and most efﬁ c i e n t p e r f o r m a n c e

of your appliance.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and,

therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms

with less than perfect ventilation are not very suited

for installation of the appliance. Therefore, it should

be installed in a room with an opening (window

or French window) that provides the appropriate

amount of air recirculation. It is also important that

the room should not be too humid.

During installation, make sure not to cover or

obstruct the grates that allow proper ventilation of

the appliance.

For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must

leave:

– a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and

any cabinets above it;

– a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the

appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it

is directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook

top or the like.

Levelling

The ﬂ o o r s h o u l d b e p e r f e c t l y l e v e l l e d ; i f n o t , y o u c a n

adjust the feet at the front of the appliance.

Before placing foodstuffs in the refrigerator or

freezer, clean the interior well with warm water and

baking soda. After having plugged the appliance in,

make sure that pilot lamp is light.

Set thermostat knob onto a medium position and

can place food in the fridge after only a few hours.

When the freezer has reached the optimum

temperature, you can place frozen food in the

freezer.

Earthing

Before making the electrical connection, check that

the voltage shown on the data plate, that you will

ﬁ n d o n t h e b o t t o m r i g h t h a n d s i d e o f t h e a p p l i a n c e

next to the crisper, corresponds to that of your mains

and that the socket is earthen in conformity with all

current electrical regulations. If the system is not

earthen, the manufacturer declines all liability for

consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters

or multiple sockets.

Check the power load

The electrical socket must support the maximum

power load of the appliance shown on the data plate

(on the bottom right hand side of the appliance next

to the crisper).

Before plugging the appliance to the mains

Set the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours

before plugging the appliance into the mains to

ensure proper performance.

This appliance complies with the following

Community Directives:

-73/23/EEC of 19.02.73 (Low Voltage) and

subsequent amendments;

-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic

Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;

-2002/96/EC (WEEE).
