Please note that 12 to 24 hours are necessary before ice production may begin.

The production is of 10 cubes per cycle in approximately 10 cycles in 24 hours.

The yield depends on the temperature set in the freezer, the room temperature and the frequency of door opening.

If the appliance is operating without being connected to the water system, make sure that the Icemaker is deactivated according to the instructions

The Ice Maker produces ice until the ice tray is full and will automatically stop once the maximum level is reached.

With the Fast Ice function, it is possible to increase the quantity of ice produced within 24 hours, while the Set Cube Size function permits selection of the size of the produced ice cubes.

Do the ice cubes have an unusual odour?

Ice is a porous material which can absorb odours from the environment. Ice cubes which have been in the ice cube container for a long time may absorb odours, stick together and slowly become smaller.

We recommend that old ice cubes not be used. Other means of preventing odors:

The ice cube container should be cleaned occasionally with warm water. Make sure that you switch off the ice maker before clearing the container. Rinse out and wipe dry.

Check the contents of the freezer for spoiled or out-of-date food. All odorous foods should be wrapped thoroughly or stored in airtight containers to prevent the build-up of odors.
The water filter may have to be replaced in some models.
In some cases the quality of the water connection in the house should be checked.

Operating noises

Quite normal noises

Grumbling: refrigerating unit is running. Fan in the recirculating air system is running.
Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises: refrigerant is flowing through the tubes.
Clicking: motor is switching on or off. Solenoid valve on the water connection is opening/closing.
Rumbling: ice cubes are falling into the ice cube container.

Do not place any bottles or food for rapid cooling in the ice cube container. The ice maker may become blocked and be damaged.

7.2 Water filter for freezer column Ice Maker

Freezer columns equipped with automatic icemakers include an externally mounted water filter kit. The water filter manifold and waterline connections must be installed in conjunction with the freezer as the waterline connecting the back of the appliance to the filter kit must be in place before installing the unit.

The filter kit should be installed in an accessible location (such as an adjacent cabinet) to allow for the water filter cartridge to be changed annually.

If you choose not to use the water filter (such as connecting the appliance to an already filtered water source) then it is suggested to also set the function Water Filter through the icon, touch the icon reset and disable the warning to avoid receiving reminders to change the filter (that you are not using).

8.1 Lighting

To provide optimum interior lighting, LED strips illuminate the freezer compartment from the side and sets of LED lights directly illuminate different areas of the compartment.

In case of malfunction and/or wearing out of the lighting system, the repair should be carried out by a qualified Fulgor Milano Service technician.

9.1 General directions

Your appliance is designed to ensure precise, constant temperatures and appropriate humidity levels in all compartments (where applicable).

Nevertheless, to properly preserve all of your foods, it is not enough to have an excellent appliance. It is also necessary to know the rules for correct food preservation.

Do bear in mind that all foods will inevitably change their characteristics over the passage of time. This change begins long before the food is consumed, since foods contain micro organisms which multiply and can cause deterioration. This process occurs more rapidly due to improper handling, preservation temperatures and humidity levels.

It is therefore recommended to follow the directions presented below which will permit using your freezer in the most effective and safe manner to keep your foods in the best way for as long as possible.

Periodically check that all foods are in a perfect state of preservation. If you believe that a food item was kept for an excessive period of time and may be deteriorated, do not consume this item or even taste it, even if it seems to still be healthy, since the bacteria that cause deterioration of food can also cause poisoning and illness.

When in doubt, throw the food away.

9.2 How to best preserve food quality

When buying groceries

Always take the following precautions:

Place any packages of raw meat, fish or poultry in plastic bags so that they do not drip on other foods.
Purchase meat, poultry and fish last. Do not leave your groceries in a warm car for extended periods. Keep a freezer bag in your car and use it in case of very high temperatures or long trips.
Check the production dates and "best before" times on foods to be sure that they are fresh.
Be very careful when buying fresh foods, and only buy a quantity that can be consumed during your planned preservation period.

When placing foods in

To keep food in the freezer is a good idea to use freezer containers.
Label and date the packages.
Be careful to correctly position the food items on the shelves in a way that does not obstruct the air circulation vents inside the compartment.

After a prolonged interruption of electrical power, once the electrical power is reactivated, an audible signal will indicate if the temperature has raised above normal levels. In addition to this the display will show for one minute the highest temperature detected inside the compartments, to allow the user to decide how to better use the food items.

After one minute the display will resume normal operation, while the Alarm button

will continue to blink.

Press the Alarm button to display the highest recorded temperatures.

10.1 Care and Cleaning

To clean the parts made of steel use a microfiber cloth and the sponge provided in the kit with the appliance. Always use the cloth and sponge in the direction of the steel's satin finish.

Every now and then, to polish the steel, wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.

Do not use the sponge on aluminium parts, such as the handles and the profiles of the glass shelves.

You should use special care to keep the ventilation openings in the appliance or in the cabinet that houses it free of obstructions.

Carefully follow the detailed directions that can be found in the provided kit and never use abrasive or metallic products which could scratch and damage the satin finishing on the appliance permanently.

Before performing any sort of cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply.

Make sure you do not damage the refrigerant circuit in any way.

Do not use chlorine-based detergents or cleaning agents.

10.2 Internal cleaning

Clean the internal and removable parts by washing them with a solution of lukewarm water, a small amount of dishwashing detergent.

Rinse and dry right away.

Do not use mechanical devices or other methods to speed up defrosting.

Do not use water on the electrical parts, lights and control panel.

The use of chlorine-based detergents or similar that contains it should be avoided (bleach, hypochlorite, etc).

Do not bring cold glass parts into contact with boiling water.

Do not wash any parts of the appliance in a dishwashing machine since this could damage or irreparably deform the parts.

10.3 Cleaning of the toe kick cover, filter and condenser.

It is recommended to perform the following cleaning steps very 12 months. If enabled, a visual message on the display will serve as a reminder.

It is possible to disable the warning signal and see the time left before the next cleaning has to be done.

Behind the frontal toe kick cover there is the condenser.

To clean it use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment at maximum power, sweeping it along the vent slits. In case of a significant dust build up, the toe kick cover can be removed to allow a more accurate cleaning of the filter.

On the maintenance settings, after the installation of the unit and after it has been turned on, you can reset the condenser cleaning warning.

In the case the warning sign is enabled, there will be a warning every 12 months, alerting that it is time to clean the condenser.

After cleaning it, touch the reset icon in order to reactivate the warning signal in 12 months.

If you do not want the cleaning signal alert for the condenser, touch the Off icon.

Lower condenser.

For cleaning the condenser follow the instructions:

Remove the removable grille under the door.

Clean it thoroughly from any dust build up as shown in the picture, taking care not to damage it.

The edges of the condenser are sharp, therefore use adequate protection for hands and arms when cleaning the condenser.

11.1 Troubleshooting Guide

If you notice malfunctions in your appliance, use this guide before calling for service: this guide can help you personally resolve the problem or could provide important information to be conveyed to the service technician to ensure rapid and effective repair.

Display message and audible alarms.

A malfunction is usually indicated by the display. Problems that cannot be solved by the user are reported through a fault code. Keep in mind, however, that in messages or alarms they may appear for particular conditions of use or during start-up. In these cases, deactivate the audible alarm by pressing the Alarm button and leave the appliance running and limit the opening of the doors to the maximum for about 10-12 hours.

The freezer does not work.

Is the appliance connected to the electrical power supply?

Is electrical power available at the electricity socket? Is the Unit button activated?

Is the unit in 'Demo' Mode?

Check that doors are closing properly and gaskets are sealing.

The freezer is warmer than usual.

Does the display show a malfunction code?

Is the temperature adjusted correctly?

Were the doors or drawers open for a long period of time?

Were large quantities of food recently inserted?

Is the unit in 'Demo' Mode?

The compressor is running for a long time period.

Bear in mind that during very hot weather and with very high temperatures in the room it is normal that the compressor remains on for prolonged periods of time.

Were the doors or drawers open for a long period of time?

Were large quantities of food recently inserted?

Check that the doors are closed and that the food or containers do not obstruct the perfect closure of the door.

Is one or more compartments in Max Cool Mode?

If you hear unusual noises.

It is normal to hear noises from the ventilators or compressors during operation or during the defrost phase.

Noise could be more noticed depending on the position of the appliance and the surrounding environ

ment (hard surfaces can reflect and amplify noises).

Condensation inside and outside of the freezer.

If the climate is very humid, the formation of condensation is normal. Opening the door or drawers for prolonged periods of time can contribute to the formation of condensation.

In any case, make sure that the doors are always completely closed when not being accessed.

Ice or frost build up inside the freezer.

Were the doors left open for a long period of time? Do the doors close completely?

If the doors do not close completely, contact your installer.

The doors are difficult to open.

The appliance is designed to ensure a fully hermetic closure. When the door is closed, a vacuum condition can occur: in this case it is necessary to wait a few seconds until the pressure balances before opening the door.

Appliance is cooling but lights and display are not working.

Check to see if the appliance was accidentally placed into Sabbath Mode

The Ice Maker does not work.

Make sure that the Ice Maker is on (icon).

To switch on the Ice Maker press the button.

Make sure that the appliance is connected to the water supply.

The Ice Maker does not produce sufficient amounts of ice.

On average, the Ice Maker produces approximately 10 cubes of ice every two and half hours. The ice bin can accumulate approximately 500 cubes.

The ice cubes freeze into one block.

If the ice is not used frequently, it is possible that blocks of ice may form. It is recommended to remove the block of ice cubes and then let the Ice Maker fill the ice tray again. When taking ice, bring cubes from the back of the bin to the front to ensure a good rotation of stock.

The ice has an unusual flavour or colour.

When the Ice Maker is started for the first time, it is recommended to empty the first full tray of ice cubes assuming that a Manual Clean was performed to initially flush the system.

If the freezer was switched off for more than one month or if the cartridge was not changed for more than six months, it could be necessary to replace the filter cartridge.

Contact a plumber or a water treatment expert to make sure that the problem is not due to the water supply.

If the unit you purchased was used as a showroom model it may be in a special energy-saving mode called Demo Mode where the appliance appears to be operating (lights work and false temperatures are displayed) but no cooling actually takes place. If you suspect your appliance is in Demo Mode please refer to the instructions in this manual related to 'Demo Mode'.
