Frequently Asked Questions - FL 167 SMEG

What is the ideal temperature setting for my Smeg FL 167 refrigerator?

The recommended temperature for fresh food storage is between +2°C and +6°C. Use the internal thermostat dial to adjust; typically, a mid-setting (e.g., 3-4) works well in normal conditions.

How do I properly clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance first. Clean interior and exterior with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals.

Why is my fridge making unusual noises?

Some noise is normal (e.g., compressor, fan, refrigerant flow). However, if you hear clicking or rattling, check if the appliance is level, if items inside are vibrating, or if the back panel is touching a wall. If noise persists, contact service.

How often should I defrost the refrigerator?

The Smeg FL 167 has a manual defrost refrigerator compartment. Defrost when frost exceeds 3-5 mm thickness. Turn off the appliance, remove food, and allow ice to melt. Do not use sharp tools to remove ice.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Refer to the user manual for step-by-step instructions. It typically involves moving hinges and door handle to the opposite side. Ensure the appliance is unplugged before starting.

What does the 'E' energy class mean?

Energy class E is part of the EU energy label (2019 scale). It indicates the appliance consumes about 130 kWh per year, which is average for this size. Energy consumption may vary based on usage and ambient temperature.

How do I adjust the thermostat?

The thermostat dial is usually located inside the refrigerator, often near the light cover. Turn it clockwise for colder and counterclockwise for warmer. Wait 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.

• Clean the appliance, and be thorough, especially in the interior (See Cleaning and Maintenance).
• In case the interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as described in chapter "Description of the Appliance".

Instructions for Use

These instructions for use are intended for the user. They describe the appliance and its correct and safe use. They were prepared for various types of refrigerators, therefore you might find in them some functions that do not apply to your appliance and descriptions of accessories that your appliance does not include.

Mounting Instructions

Integrated appliances are equipped with instructions for mounting the appliance into the kitchen unit. The appliance should be mounted by a qualified technician, and the instructions are for his use only.

We Care for the Environment

• Our products use environmentally friendly packaging, which can be either recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. To this end, individual packaging materials are clearly marked.
• These instructions are printed either on recycled paper or chlorine-free bleached paper.
• When your appliance finally wears out, please try not to burden the environment with it; call your nearest authorized service agent. (See Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance)

Tips for Energy Savings

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible. This is especially important if you have an upright model.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
• Use higher thermostat settings only when required or recommended.
• Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. (except for the soup)
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
• The condenser on the rear wall should be always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
• Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher.

Important

- If you have bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.

- The appliance must be correctly connected to the mains supply. (see: Connecting to the Mains Supply).

- Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance operates, especially not with wet hands, because the skin may stick to the cold surfaces.

- Do not freeze bottles containing liquid, especially not soft drinks, such as mineral water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., because liquid expands during freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to blow up.

- Do not eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables), because you can get frostbites.

- If the food has strange smell or color, throw it away, because it is very likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.

- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing it (only a qualified technician should repair it), before cleaning and before replacing the light bulb.

- Do not defrost the appliance with other electric appliances (as for example with hair dryer) and never scrape the frost layer with sharp objects. Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer.

- For the sake of environment protection - be careful not to damage the rear wall of the appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes - for example when moving the appliance) or any part of the refrigerating system inside the appliance. Do not use sharp object for defrosting the appliance. Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer.

- The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and oil, so when the appliance is damaged, handle it with care and

dispose of it in compliance with environmental protection precautions. (See We Care for the Environment).

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
• The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.

Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance

• When your appliance finally wears out, dispose of it. If the appliance has a lock, break it, in order to prevent eventual accidents (danger of children getting locked inside the appliance).
• The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorized service agent or specialized servicing center. If you don't find one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger of pollution).

Choosing the Right Place

Place the appliance in a dry and regularly ventilated room. Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is stated on the rating plate of the appliance.

Class Ambient temperature
SN (sub-normal) from + 10°C to +	32°C
N (normal) from + 16°C to + 32°C
ST (sub-tropical) from + 18°C to +	38°C
T (tropical) from + 18°C to + 43°C

Never place the appliance near heat emitting devices (e.g., cooker, radiator, water heater or similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight.

The appliance should be positioned at least 3 cm away from the electric or gas cooker and at least 30 cm away from the oil or coal stove. If this is not possible, use an appropriate insulation.

Behind the appliance there should be free space at least 200 cm² wide and above the appliance the high kitchen units should be at least 5 cm away from the appliance in order to assure adequate ventilation of the condenser unit.

Connection to Power Supply

Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply socket outlet with a ground terminal (safety socket).

Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate.

The connection to the mains supply and earthing have to be made according to current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage tolerance up to -15 to +10 %.

Description of the Appliance

Refrigerator (A)

Refrigerator is used for storing fresh foods for few days.

Freezer (B)

Freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing already frozen foods.

Shelf (1)

(number depends on the model)

Shelf can be optionally placed on the guides inside the appliance. It is protected against pulling out. If you want to remove it, slightly lift up the back part and pull it out.

Glass shelves (some models only have them) are protected with plastic spacers. Before pulling the shelf out, spacers must be moved towards you. Spacers can be also removed, however, it is better to keep them for any later transport.

Quickly perishable food should be stored on the back i.e. the coldest part of the shelves.

Bottle rack

(in some models only)

Bottle rack (number depends on model) is intended for storing the bottles. There are two installation positions available (horizontal or lifted in the front) thus enabling the positioning of bottles on the stopper as well. It is protected against pulling out. If you want to pull it out, simply lift its rear part and pull it towards you.

Warning!

If the door contains storing shelves, install the rack in such a position that the length of the bottles will not hinder the closing of the door.

The rack may carry a maximum of 9 bottles of 0.75 l or more (total weight max. 13 kg) – note the label underneath the thermostat box inside the appliance.

Defrost Water Outlet (2)

Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the channel, because they should never be clogged (e.g., with food rests). If clogged, use a plastic straw to clean it.

Fruit and Vegetable Container (3)

The container is at the bottom under the glass shelf and is used mainly for storing fruits and vegetables. It provides adequate humidity, which has a favorable effect on stored food.

Door Liner

The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter, yogurt, as well as other smaller packages, tubes, cans, etc.

The lower shelf is used for storing bottles.

Illumination in the Interior of the Refrigerator

The light for illuminating the interior of the appliance turns on when the door is opened. The operation of the light does not depend on the position of the thermostat knob.

NOTE:

• The appliance can be equipped with various accessories, depending on the model.
• Various accessories (spice container, tube holder, or additional shelves and drawer partitions) can be purchased at authorized centers.

The appliance is controlled with the thermostat knob, situated in the right upper part inside the appliance.

Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards.

Temperature Selection

- Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all three compartments of the appliance. The temperature inside the appliance may even drop below 0°C. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend a medium setting.

• Changes in ambient temperature affect the temperature inside the appliance (choose the correct setting of the thermostat knob). - In the STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), but the power supply is not interrupted (the light is on when you open the refrigerator door). - The temperature in the refrigerator and in the freezing compartment also depends on how often the door is opened.

Storing Fresh Foods

Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature, and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of the stored food.

• Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed to prevent mixing various moisture levels and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheets, aluminum foil, wax paper, or stored in covered containers or bottles).
• Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove excessive packaging (like yogurt in multi-packs).
• Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each other (various odors may mix). Ensure adequate air circulation around packages.
• Never store flammable, volatile, or explosive substances.
• Beverages with high alcohol content should be stored in tightly sealed bottles in a vertical position.
• Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator!
• Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon and orange peel, acid in butter, etc., can cause damage when in contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for a longer period of time.
• Foods should be cooled down before storing.
• Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest parts of the refrigerator.
• Try not to open the door too often.
• Set the thermostat to the setting where the lowest temperatures are reached. Set the thermostat gradually to avoid freezing of the foods.

Use a thermometer and measure the temperature in the individual compartments. Place the thermostat in a glass vessel filled with water. Temperature readings are most reliable a few hours after steady state is reached.

- Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of water and vinegar. We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors.

- If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly perishable articles of food out of the appliance before you leave.

Freezing Fresh Foods

• Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it should be of adequate quality and suitable for freezing.
• Use correct packaging and wrap it right.
• The packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods.
• Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods.

- Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading.

- It is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible. Therefore, we recommend that the package size not be too large and that the food be cooled before loading into the freezer.

- The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate (freezing capacity). If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced, which affects the quality of frozen foods.

Freezing Procedure

• 24 hours before loading the freezer with fresh foods to be frozen, set the thermostat to position 4-6. Put packages on the shelf and let them freeze. Some 24 hours after loading the packages of fresh foods, reset the thermostat, if necessary, to operating temperature (see Temperature Selection) and reload the frozen packages to the bottom shelf.
• The next time you want to freeze fresh foods, repeat the freezing procedure and be careful that packages with fresh foods do not touch frozen packages.

- For freezing smaller amounts of food (up to 1 kg), there is no need to change the thermostat setting (see Temperature Selection).

Storing Frozen Foods

Frozen foods can be stored on the bottom of the appliance or on the shelf.

Commercially Frozen Foods

The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using, consider the manufacturer's instructions. When shopping, be careful and choose only adequately packed foods provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than -18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered with a frost layer. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Be careful that packages don't start to thaw, as the temperature rise reduces the quality of foods.

Defrosting Frozen Food

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods perishable.

Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables, and ready-made meals.

Recommended thermostat position for ice making is on the middle setting. Fill two thirds of the ice tray with cold water or any other liquid convenient for freezing.

Insert the ice tray into the guides or on the cooling plate.

The time required for the ice to form

largely depends on ambient temperature, thermostat setting, and how often you open the door.

It usually takes 2-6 hours (depending on the model of refrigerator you have).

With smaller refrigerators, we recommend you make a stock of ice cubes (store them in a separate plastic box).

The easiest way to empty the ice tray is to turn the tray around, pour cold water over it, and slightly twist (bend) it.

Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator

There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.

Ice deposits on the inner back wall during compressor operation; later, when the compressor is not operating, the ice defrosts and water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.

Manual Defrosting of the Freezing Compartment

When the frost and ice layer in the freezing compartment is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean the freezer.

• Turn the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position, and disconnect the power supply. Empty the compartment and take care that the packages remain frozen.
• Put a suitable vessel under the freezing compartment to collect the defrost water. Leave the door of the compartment open to accelerate defrosting.
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.

Cleaning the Appliance

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance.

Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface.

• Clean the exterior with water and detergent. Varnished surfaces are cleaned with a soft cloth and an alcohol-based cleaning agent (for example, glass cleaners). You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol). The application of abrasive and especially aggressive cleaners, such as stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate for cleaning plastic and coated parts.

- Remove the detachable accessories from the interior of the appliance and clean them with water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in a washing machine.

- Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, to which you have added one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.

• Every now and then, wipe the condenser on the rear wall. Use a soft non-metal brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Clean the drain pan on the refrigerator compressor. Do not remove the drain pan!

After cleaning, connect the appliance to the power supply and reload the packages.

Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use

If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period, set the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position, disconnect the power supply, take out the foods, and defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly open.

During service, you may encounter some troubles that in most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and can easily be eliminated.

The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the Mains Supply

- Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat in operating position).

Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating System

• The door was frequently opened or it was left open for too long;
• The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged);
• Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods;
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser (assure adequate air circulation and wipe off the condenser);

Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall

As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the opening to the drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured.

In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted.

Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and leave the door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects.

After completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired position and close the refrigerator door.

The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the following:

• The door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged); – the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long; – the food stored in the refrigerator was warm; – the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.

Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator

In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips over the channel, water leaks from the refrigerator.

- Clean the clogged opening, for example with a plastic straw.

- Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall".

Noise

Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system with compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.

• During the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder, which does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced.
• Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is heard, which is rather unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a consequence of inadequate placing.
• The appliance shall be placed and levelled firmly on solid base.
• It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next to it.
• Check the accessories in the interior of the appliance, they should be placed correctly in their positions; also check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might touch each other and rattle.

Bulb Replacement

Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance form the power supply.

Press the cover at the rear side (in the arrow 1 direction) and remove the plastic cover (in the arrow 2 direction). Replace the bulb with a new one (E14, max. 10 W).

Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to organic waste.

Light bulb is consuming good therefore our in-guarantee service does not relate to it.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO INFLUENCE ON THE OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE.
