The temperature is automatically regulated. To adjust it, turn the Temperature Regulator clockwise: turn towards lower settings to achieve minimum coldness, or towards higher settings to achieve maximum coldness. A medium setting is generally the most suitable, but the exact setting depends on room temperature, how often the door is opened, the quantity of food stored, and the appliance's location.
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically during normal use when the motor compressor stops. The defrost water drains through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, where it evaporates. You should periodically clean the defrost water drain hole to prevent water from overflowing.
The freezer compartment is a "no frost" type, meaning there is no buildup of frost on the internal walls or on the foods due to the continuous circulation of cold air driven by an automatically controlled fan.
A medium setting for the Temperature Regulator is generally the most suitable. However, the exact setting should be chosen considering the room temperature, how often the door is opened, the quantity of food stored, and the location of the appliance.
If the temperature in the refrigerator is too high, it could be due to several reasons:
If the appliance does not operate, the possible causes and solutions are:
If the temperature in the freezer is too high, it is likely because products are too near to each other. To resolve this, store products so that there is cold air circulation.
If the refrigerator compartment keeps freezing food, it means the temperature in the appliance is too low. This is because the temperature regulator is not set correctly. To resolve this, you should set a higher temperature.
If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature while the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and save electricity consumption.
Yes, the freezer compartment of this model is a "no frost" type. This means there is no buildup of frost on the internal walls or on the foods, due to continuous circulation of cold air driven by an automatically controlled fan.
To prevent unpleasant smells when the appliance is not in use for long periods, leave the door/doors ajar. When cleaning the interior, do not use highly perfumed cleaning products as they will leave a strong odor.
If water flows on the ground, it means the melting water outlet does not flow in the evaporative tray above the compressor. To fix this, attach the melting water outlet to the evaporative tray.
For periodic cleaning, the equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, or wax polishes to clean the interior, as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odor. Do not clean the appliance with metal objects or use sharp objects to remove frost; use a plastic scraper.
Water collecting inside the refrigerator is usually because the water outlet is clogged. To resolve this, you need to clear the water outlet. Also, ensure that products do not prevent water from flowing into the water collector.
There are some sounds during normal use, which include the compressor and refrigerant circulation.
It is advisable to wait at least four hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back into the compressor.
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a new product, then dry thoroughly.
To switch on the appliance, insert the plug into the wall socket and turn the Temperature Regulator clockwise to a medium setting. The Pilot Light will light up.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent water from overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which is already inserted into the drain hole.
To change the light bulb:
To replace defective door gaskets, you should contact the Service Center.
