Frequently Asked Questions - PC 455 ADORA Philco

How do I adjust the temperature inside my Philco PC 455 ADORA fridge?

Use the thermostat dial inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn it clockwise for cooler temperatures (e.g., setting 4-5 for normal use) and counterclockwise for warmer. Adjust gradually and allow 24 hours for stabilization.

How do I defrost the freezer compartment?

When ice build-up exceeds 3-4 mm, press the manual defrost button (if available) or turn the thermostat to '0' to stop cooling. Place a towel at the bottom to catch water. After defrosting, dry thoroughly before restarting.

What should I do if my fridge stops cooling?

First, check the power cord and plug. If the fridge is silent, the compressor may have failed. Also clean the condenser coils at the back (every 6 months) to ensure proper airflow. If these steps don't help, contact Philco service.

How often should I clean the fridge?

Clean the interior every 2-3 months with a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe door seals with a damp cloth. Remove shelves and drawers for thorough cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Unscrew the hinge brackets on both sides, swap the door and handle, and reattach the hinges on the opposite side. Use the supplied plugs to cover unused screw holes.

What is the annual energy consumption of this model?

The Philco PC 455 ADORA consumes approximately 210 kWh per year under normal conditions, corresponding to energy class A+. Actual consumption depends on usage and ambient temperature.

Is the fridge noisy during operation?

The noise level is about 40 dB, which is typical for a modern refrigerator. You may hear slight humming from the compressor and occasional clicking when the thermostat switches. Place the fridge on a level surface to minimize vibration.

Can I install this refrigerator in an unheated garage or outbuilding?

This fridge is designed for indoor use with ambient temperatures between +10°C and +32°C. In cold conditions below 10°C, the freezer may thaw; in hot conditions above 32°C, the compressor may overwork. Avoid extreme environments.

How do I adjust or remove the glass shelves?

Shelves are removable: lift the front slightly and pull out. To adjust, slide the shelf into a different set of guide rails. Always support the shelf from underneath when carrying it.

Installation and Operation of your Refrigerator

Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:

- The operation voltage of your refrigerator is 220-240 V and 50 Hz. - Our company shall not be held responsible for damages that may arise due to utilization with no grounding installation.

- Place your refrigerator in a suitable spot that it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.

- It should be at least 50 cm away from heat sources such as cookers, ovens, wing radiators and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.

- Your refrigerator should not be used in the open air and should not remain under the rain.

- If your refrigerator is juxtaposed with a deep freeze, it is necessary to leave a space of at least 2 cm between them in order to prevent condensation on the outer surfaces.

- Please do not place any heavy objects on your refrigerator and place your refrigerator in a suitable spot in such a way that there will be a free space of minimum 15 cm on the top.

- If your are going to place the refrigerator beside your kitchen cabinets then you should keep a clearance of at least 2 cm's between them.

- To prevent the condenser (the black backside component with fins) from touching the wall, put on the plastic distance guide in its place rotating 90°.

- Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance not exceeding 75mm.

- To ensure smooth and vibration-free operation of your refrigerator, the adjustable front feet must be set at the suitable height and mutually balanced. You can ensure this by turning the adjustable feet clockwise (or counter-clockwise). This process should be performed before the food is placed in the refrigerator.

- Before using your refrigerator, wipe all its parts with warm water in which you shall add one teaspoon of food soda, then rinse it with clean water and dry it. After the cleaning process is completed, place all the parts back.

- As the fluid inside the cooler accumulator in the cooler door (see page 24, item 19) is chemical, accumulator door should not be damaged and the fluid inside it should not be drunk.

Before Starting to Operate Your Refrigerator

- During the first operation or to ensure the efficient operation of the device following the relocation processes, allow your refrigerator to remain idle for 3 hours (in a vertical position), then insert the plug to the socket. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.

Information on No-Frost technology

No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in their operating principle.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to door openings and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the freezer department. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to turn off the fridge, place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer department.

The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus preventing humidity and freezing.

Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

- Your fridge defrosts automatically. Water produced by defrosting flows to evaporating container passing through water collecting groove, and vaporizes here by itself.

Replacing lighting material

Please call service technician.

SECTION 7: BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

Check Warnings

Your fridge warns you if the temperatures for fridge and freezer departments are in improper levels or when a problem occurs in the appliance. Warning codes will be displayed on Cooler and Freezer Indicators.

ERROR CODE	MEANING REASON DO...
SR Failure	re warning Indicated when one or more parts of the fridge fail or in case of a problem in cooling system.		Contact the nearest authorized technical service as soon as possible.
LV Low voltage	It switches to standby status when voltage supply of fridge lowers below 170 Volt.		This feature will avoid compressor from getting damaged due to low voltage.Once voltage supply of fridge reaches the desired level, it will automatically start to run.

If your fridge is not operating;

• Is there any electrical faults?
• Is your appliance plugged?
- Is the fuse of the socket outlet that the plug is plugged or the main fuse blown?
- Is there any fault in the socket outlet? Examine this by plugging your fridge into a socket outlet which you are sure that is working.

If your fridge is operating too loudly;

Normal Noises

Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:

• During automatic defrosting.
- When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

Short cracking:

Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.

Compressor noise (Normal motor noise):

This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.

Bubbling noise and splash:

This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.

Water flow noise:

Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.

Air Blow Noise:

Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;

Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.

If humidity builds up inside the fridge;

• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
  • Building up of water drops on the rear wall after automatic defrosting is normal. (in Static Models)

If the doors are not opened and closed properly;

• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
  • Is your fridge on a level surface?

If your fridge is not cooling enough;

See page 11. (Warning regarding temperature settings).

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- Compressor protection thermal fuse will be blown after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet. Your fridge will start after 5 to 10 minutes; there is nothing to worry about.

• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it; and clean the fridge after the defrosting procedure (see SECTION 4), and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult to the nearest Authorized Technical Service.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use.

Conformity Information

This equipment is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16^ - 43^ range.

The appliance is designed in compliance with the , IEC60335-1 / IEC60335-2-24, 2004/108/EC standards.

Recommendations for Energy Saving

• Place your appliance in a cool and well-ventilated room, avoid placing towards direct sunlight or near heat radiators (radiator, oven, etc.). Otherwise, use insulation plate.
• Allow hot food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
• Place frozen food in refrigerator for thawing. When frozen food is thawed, its lower temperature will help refrigerator cool down. Thus, energy will be saved. Putting frozen food outside will cause waste of energy.
• When putting drinks and homemade food into refrigerator, make sure that they are in an enclosed bowl. Otherwise, humidity in the appliance will rise. This will make operation time longer. Preserving drinks and homemade food in enclosed bowls will also avoid deterioration of odours and tastes.
• When putting drinks and food in the refrigerator, leave door of appliance open for some time as short as possible.
• Keep compartments with different temperature values in the appliance closed. (crisper, chiller compartment, etc.)
  • Door gasket should be clean and flexible. Replace old gaskets.
