When the door is closed, the magnet is on the Interface Board, which informs the Potency Module causing the corresponding Lamp to remain OFF. When the door is opened, the magnet stays away from the Interface Board and the Lamp turns ON. The technician can test the activation system by using a round magnet with approximately 20 mm in diameter and 5 mm in height (preferably). -
Page 6: Freezer Temperature Control
• Interface Board Responsible for sending signals to the Interface Board Potency Module in order to turn the Lamps and the Fan Motor ON and OFF, with a Freezer temperature range selection, for turning the alarm off, Fast Freezing function, powered-on product signaling, Flat Cable open door signaling and open door audible signal. -
Page 7: Refrigerator Temperature Control
• This temperature value is measured close to the Sensor, not at the Freezer Compartment center 3.2.2 – Refrigerator Temperature Control The temperatures in the Refrigerator compartment are controlled by a Thermostatic Damper, which controls the cold air flow with three graduations (minimum, medium and maximum). The Damper does not activates or sends any signal for the Compressor to be either enabled or disabled. -
Page 8: Freezer Freezing Level Selection
• Should the Door remain open for 6 minutes the electronic control system will turn the Lamps off and turn the Fan Motor on again (if compressor is on). Thence, the Refrigerator starts cycling normally, even with the Door open. The alarm is however sounding and the DOOR OPEN Led and the green Leds for temperature selection will flash intermittently until the Door is closed. -

Defrost Bimetalic & Thermofuse Defrost Heater Chute Evaporation Container The Bimetalic (Opening at 15°C and closing at - 6°C) will turn the Defrost Heater off as soon as all ice existing on the Evaporator has melted. The Defrost Heater, in turn, defrosts the Evaporator more quickly because it is all along the evaporator length. - Page 10 Should the product present any irregularity, it will set off a sound and visual alarm (2 or 4 Hz: see items 3.2.7.1 and 3.2.7.2, respectively) and a fault code will be stored in the memory of the Interface Board. Before visiting a client requiring service, we must request that they press the Alarm Off key for a few seconds and the failure code will appear automatically (combination of the LEDs “Freezing Level “, Minimum, Medium and Maximum turned on/off as indicated below), providing a pre-diagnosis for the technician, so that the equipment/pieces necessary to resolve the problem in one visit can be taken.

- Page 16 b.3) Turn the product on and wait for the Thermometer to indicate -10ºC. This temperature corresponds to the same Bimetal temperature. Then, disconnect the product from the socket and turn it on again. (operation required for the sensor sends to the module the information that the product is cool, at a temperature below zero degree).
