Frequently Asked Questions - PK1804 PROGRESS

What to do if the appliance does not work?

Check that the appliance is switched on (ON/OFF button). Make sure the power plug is correctly inserted and the socket is live. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician or authorized after-sales service.

How to adjust the refrigerator temperature?

Use the increase (+) and decrease (-) temperature buttons on the control panel. The default temperature is +5°C. The new set temperature will be reached within 24 hours.

What does 'dEMo' on the display mean?

The appliance is in demonstration mode. To exit, press and hold the Mode button for about 10 seconds until you hear a long beep and the display briefly turns off.

How to activate the IntensiveCooling function?

Press the Functions button until the IntensiveCooling symbol flashes, then press OK to confirm. This function cools food quickly and deactivates automatically after about 6 hours.

Why is water flowing inside the refrigerator?

This may be due to food blocking the drainage to the water reservoir or a clogged defrost drain. Ensure products do not touch the back panel and clean the defrost water drain hole.

The compressor runs continuously, is this normal?

Check the temperature setting, frequent door opening, introduction of warm food, or too many items at once. If the IntensiveCooling function is activated, it may cause the compressor to run continuously temporarily.

How to clean the appliance?

Unplug the appliance. Clean the interior and accessories with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive products, chlorine, or oil. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

What to do if the door does not close properly?

Clean the door gaskets. If necessary, adjust the door following the installation instructions. If the gaskets are defective, contact authorized after-sales service for replacement.

How to activate Holiday mode?

Press the Functions button until the Holiday symbol flashes, then press OK. This mode keeps the empty appliance closed without bad odors. It deactivates when you select a different temperature.

The interior light is not working, what to do?

Close and open the door to exit standby mode. If the lamp is defective, contact authorized after-sales service. Replacement of the LED lighting must be done by a professional.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.

HINTS AND TIPS

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during operation:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon).

Fan

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a device that allows rapid cooling of food and keeps a more uniform temperature in the compartment.

This device activates automatically when needed, for example for a quick temperature recovery after door opening or when the ambient temperature is high.

It is possible to switch on the device manually when needed (refer to "Fan function").

The Fan device stops when the door is open and restarts immediately after the door closing.

• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.

• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
  Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed.
  Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.

• Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

General warnings

CAUTION! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Periodic cleaning

CAUTION! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the appliance.

CAUTION! Do not damage the cooling system.

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

1. Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe them clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.

CAUTION! If you want to keep the appliance switched on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.

We recommend activating Holiday Mode.
