Safety Precautions

DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS – OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY

Our refrigerators are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable materials. We urge you to

cooperate by disposing of the packaging properly. Contact your local dealer or the competent local organisations for

the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal facilities.

Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. Packaging parts, and especially plastic bags, may represent a

suffocation hazard for children.

Your old appliance must also be disposed of properly.

Important deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect scrapped appliances. Proper

disposal allows the intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain gases which may

damage the environment; it is important to ensure that the refrigeration circuit pipelines are not damaged until the

competent service has taken delivery of the appliance.

Before scrapping your refrigerator it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in position as for use, to ensure

that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. Also, cut the power supply lead and remove it

and the plug.

Safety Precautions

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2. INTENDED USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Keep the instruction handbook in a safe place; it contains important information which must be applied

when installing, using and servicing the refrigerator. The handbook must be kept so that it can be passed

on to any subsequent owners of the appliance.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to comply with the following precautions:

- Do not attempt to operate a damaged appliance: in case of doubt, contact your dealer.

- The appliance must be installed and connected to the electrical mains in full compliance with the

instructions provided in the handbook. The electrical connection conditions must be as specified on

the nameplate , which is in the bottom left-hand corner of the body of the refrigerator. The

appliance's electrical safety is only guaranteed if the household electrical system is earthed in

accordance with the relevant regulations.

- Make sure that all repairs and servicing are only carried out by authorised engineers from the

Smeg after-sales service. Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains in case of

breakdown and maintenance, when changing light-bulbs or during cleaning. Never defrost using

electrical devices or steam cleaners. Never remove frost or ice with sharp items, as this may cause

irreparable damage to the walls of the refrigerator.

- Never attempt to move the refrigerator by pulling on the door or the handle.

- Do not use electrical equipment (such as ice cream makers or blenders) inside the appliance.

- To ensure the refrigerator operates correctly, never obstruct or cover the air ducts in any way.

- Never eat or drink foods which look or smell strange.

- Never allow children to play with the refrigerator and use the drawers, shelves or other parts

of the appliance only as described in this handbook; never use them for purposes other than

those for which they are designed.

In case of electricity blackout, open the door(s) as little as possible. Once partly or completely thawed,

frozen foods must not be re-frozen.

Caution:

this refrigerator contains a small quantity of isobutane (R600a), a CFC-free gas refrigerant. When

transporting, installing, cleaning and repairing the refrigerator, take care not to damage any parts

of the refrigeration circuit to prevent the risk of gas leaks. In case of damage, do not use naked

lights and ventilate the room containing the appliance appropriately.

The appliance is specifically constructed for domestic use and is therefore suitable for the refrigeration

and storage of fresh foods. The appliance has not been designed or manufactured for professional use.

Smeg declines all responsibility for damage deriving from improper use of the appliance. The refrigerator

has undergone all necessary tests regarding tightness of the refrigeration circuit and complies with the

safety regulations for electrical appliances.

Caution:

the manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with

the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the

use of non-original spare parts.

Instructions for the Installer

3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

3.1 Choosing the site

Always place the refrigerator in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight

or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate), the appliance can be

used in different temperature conditions:

Class Ambient temperature

SN (Subnormal) from + 10° C to + 32° C

N (Normal) from + 16° C to + 32° C

ST (Subtropical) from + 18° C to + 38° C

T (Tropical) from + 18° C to + 43° C

Never place the refrigerator close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must

be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from

electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems.

To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the refrigerator must not

be placed too close to the wall. To prevent this, the appliance comes

complete with two plastic spacers which must be fitted to the top of

the condenser. If the refrigerator is installed underneath a wall

cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm.

Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the

appliance on parquet or linoleum. If necessary, when positioning

slide the refrigerator over pieces of wood or a mat to the point

decided for connection to the electrical mains.

3.2 Positioning and levelling the appliance

Place the refrigerator on a firm, level surface. To compensate for

any unevenness in the floor, the refrigerator has four adjustable

feet. This gives it added stability and makes it easier to move

around and position. Take great care when moving the appliance

not to damage the floor (for example, when installing on a parquet

floor).

3.3 Electrical connection

Before switching the refrigerator on for the first time, leave it vertical for at least two hours. Then connect

the appliance's power supply lead to a mains socket with earth contact, installed in accordance with

electrical safety regulations. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate inside the

refrigerator compartment. The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in

compliance with the relevant regulations and requirements. The appliance is able to withstand short

fluctuations in voltage of no more than 15% less or 10% more than the rated voltage stated on the

nameplate. If the power supply lead has to be replaced, this operation must only be carried out by an

authorised Smeg technical service engineer.

The power plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

4.1 Shelves

The refrigerator comes complete with several shelves which can be set at different heights by placing

them on the runners provided. Each shelf has a safety fitting to prevent it from being pulled completely

out or accidentally removed. To remove it from the appliance, lift it at the back and extract it. Then

change the position of the shelf or shelves as you require. For easy removal of all internal accessories,

the door has to be opened completely.

4.2 Refrigerator compartment defrosting water drain

The rear of the refrigerator compartment, underneath the refrigerating

plate, has a channel and a hole for collecting the defrosting water. To

ensure the refrigerator can function properly, take care never to block

this hole. It is best to check and clean it fairly regularly using the

condensation drain funnel cap provided.

4.3 Fruit and vegetable box

this container is in the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, which is

fitted with a glass shelf to cover fresh foods that require constant

humidity for optimum storage.

Instructions for the User

5. SETTING AND SELECTING THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE

4.4 Door shelves and containers

The inside of the door is fitted with special shelves and boxes to take eggs,

butter, dairy products, tubes, preserves and other small packages. The

bottom of the door has a shelf to take vertical bottles.

All door shelves and boxes can be removed for cleaning. To remove them from the door, tap them

upward with your fist in the first on one side of the insertion zone and then on the other. Do not place

excessively heavy bottles on the bottle shelf, and place bottles on the shelf gently when loading them.

4.5 Cheese box

A special cheese box with lid is supplied. This box can be placed on any shelf

as required.

4.6 Inside lighting

When the refrigerator door is opened, the light comes on; it remains on until

the door is completely closed again. The light comes on even if the refrigerator

thermostat is set on "0", meaning that the refrigerator is switched off.

The knob in the top right-hand corner of the refrigerator is used to

set the operating temperature. When the knob is turned to 0, the

appliance is switched off. The operating settings are from 1 to 5.

There is no direct correspondence between the setting chosen and

the temperature. Increasing the setting number reduces the

temperature. In normal operating conditions, a medium-low setting

(1-2) is recommended. This will provide effective storage of the

fresh foods in the refrigerator compartment.

Important

Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the

door is opened may affect the refrigerator's operating temperatures.

Instructions for the user

6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

6.1 Defrosting the refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment has automatic defrosting. During normal operation of the refrigerator, frost

forms on its back wall when the compressor is working and dissolves when it is not in operation. When

the compressor is not working, the frost which has built up on the back wall melts and the water flows

into the opening provided in the bottom of the body of the refrigerator. From here, it flows into the tray on

the compressor, where it evaporates.

Warning

The amount of ice which forms on the back wall may vary with changes in weather conditions

(temperature and humidity), the frequency with which the door is opened, the appliance's operating

temperatures and the amount of fresh foods stored inside (especially fruit and vegetables).

6.2 Cleaning the refrigerator

Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains. Clean the outside using only water and a

gentle liquid detergent or an ordinary detergent for washable surfaces (such as a window-cleaning

product). Never use products containing abrasives or substances which may attack the lacquered or

painted parts, acids or chemical solvents. Use a sponge or a soft cloth.

Do not use steam cleaners to clean the inside; we recommend the use of refrigerator-specific

disinfectants. Special SMEG brand steel cleaning products are available from our Service Centres.

Remove the shelves and accessories, taking care not to apply excessive force when removing. Follow

the instructions provided in the "Door Shelves and Containers" section carefully. Never wash removable

plastic parts in the dishwasher; use only warm water and washing-up liquid or water and vinegar. Take

care not to wet the electrical lighting components with water or detergents.

Clean the seals with warm water and then dry.

To allow the refrigerator to operate at full efficiency, periodically also clean the

condenser on the rear with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.

Also make a periodic check on the tray above the compressor, and clean it if

necessary.

6.3 Switching off the refrigerator

If the refrigerator is to be out of use for some time, turn the thermostat knob to 0. Then empty the

compartments, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains, and once it has defrosted dry any

residual moisture which has collected. Leave the door ajar to prevent the humidity and trapped air from

creating unpleasant smells.

6.4 Practical advice for saving energy

- Install the refrigerator in a cool, well ventilated place, protected against direct sunlight and well away

from heat sources.

- Do not place hot foods in the refrigerator section. Wait for foods and drinks to cool to room

temperature before placing them on the shelves;

- Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the compartments

from warming up too much;

- Clean the condenser (rear of the refrigerator) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing

efficiency;

- On models equipped with intensive cooling and rapid freezing, do not leave these functions activated

for longer than absolutely necessary;

- If the refrigerator is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off;

Instructions for the User

6.5 Operating noise

The refrigerator is cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset

temperature inside the refrigerator section, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level

of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts up a

humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes. Another normal refrigerator

operating noise is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is

perfectly normal and does not mean that the appliance is malfunctioning. If it is over-loud, there may be

other causes. In this case, check that:

- The refrigerator is properly levelled on the floor and does not vibrate when the compressor is in

operation: adjust the feet provided as appropriate;

- The drawers, shelves and door boxes are correctly fitted and securely in place: fit correctly;

- Bottles and containers on the various shelves are stable and not touching:the vibration due to

operation of the compressor may generate some noise;

- Do not place kitchen units or other appliances so that they are touching the refrigerator.

6.6 Identifying and Dealing with Malfunctions

Your new refrigerator is designed and built to strict quality standards. This section is intended to enable

you to identify the origin of any malfunctions which may occur before contacting the Smeg After-Sales

Service.

6.7 Changing the inside light bulb

Before changing the bulb, make sure

that the light has not stopped working

simply because the part inside the lamp

socket has become loose. In all cases,

whether you wish to check that the

socket is connected correctly or change

the bulb, for safety reasons the plug

must be removed from the power

socket.(It may be useful to remove the

shelves for easier access).

Unscrew the bulb to remove it from the socket. Replace the bulb with another having the same

characteristics (E14, max 15 W), screwing the new one into place.

Instructions for the user

7. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE PROBABLE SOLUTION

Noisy operation: - see "operating noise" section

The compressor starts up too often or

operates continuously:

- compressor and condenser cooling

inadequate:

- rise in outside temperature;

- doors opened often or for long

periods;

- too much fresh food placed in the

appliance.

- check that the rear of the appliance is

properly ventilated as explained in

point "3.1 Choosing the site" and that

the condenser is not over-dirty;

- freeze less food at a time.

The compressor does not start up: - temperature regulator on 0.

- power supply lead not connected to

the electrical mains;

- mains socket not supplying electrical

power.

- connect the cable to the power supply;

- contact the utility company.

Water in bottom of refrigerator: - "Condensation drain" opening blocked

or frozen.

- Clear the drain opening.

Door hard to open just after closing: - if you attempt to open a door again

just after closing it, considerable

strength is required. This is because

of the vacuum caused by cooling of

the warm air that has entered the

appliance.

Too much condensation forming in

refrigerator section:

- check that the door gaskets are

providing an airtight seal on the

refrigerator;

- door opened often or for long periods;

- too much fresh food (fruit and

vegetables) placed on the shelves;

- foods not properly covered or stored

in airtight containers.

- In case of cracks, try to soften the

gasket by pulling it with one hand and

sliding your closed fingers along the

inside;

- open the door less often and for

shorter times, especially when the

appliance is working in warm, humid

conditions;

- place less food inside the refrigerator

section;

- Cover the containers and seal foods.

Front of cabinet hot to the touch: - the refrigerator is operating normally.

Inside the cabinet there is a surface

heating system designed to restrict

the formation of condensation in the

area where the door gasket closes.
