Frequently Asked Questions - MFG 185 VESTFROST

How to adjust the refrigerator temperature?

Press the Set button for 2 seconds, then use the arrow keys to adjust temperature. The appliance remembers the setting even after a power failure.

What if water flows at the bottom of the refrigerator?

The defrost water drain hole is probably blocked. Clean the chute and hole with a cotton pipe cleaner or equivalent. Avoid sharp instruments.

The compressor runs continuously, is that normal?

This can be due to high ambient temperature or poor ventilation. Ensure air circulates freely around the appliance and the set temperature is not too low.

How to clean the inside of the refrigerator?

Switch off power with the on/off button. Use a mixture of warm water (max 65 °C) and a little dish soap. Rinse with clear water and wipe dry. Do not let water enter the control panel.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, never use an extension cord. Plug the appliance directly into a 220-240 V / 50 Hz grounded outlet protected by a 10-13 A fuse.

How to defrost the refrigerator?

Defrosting is automatic. Water flows through a tube to a tray above the compressor and evaporates. No manual action is needed.

What if the door does not close properly?

Check that the appliance is level (adjust front adjustable feet). Clean the door seal with clear water. Ensure nothing obstructs closure.

The interior light does not work, what to do?

The light is LED type. Only a qualified professional can replace it. Contact after-sales service.

What are the minimum ventilation distances to respect?

Allow at least 30 mm above and behind the appliance, and 5 mm on the sides if built-in. For freestanding installation, see diagrams in the manual.

The refrigerant is flammable, what precautions?

The appliance contains a flammable refrigerant. The room must have a volume of at least 1 m³ per 8 g of refrigerant. Do not puncture the refrigeration circuit and have repairs done only by qualified personnel.

Defrosting, cleaning, and maintenance

Automatic defrosting

The appliance defrosts automatically. Defrost water drains through a pipe and collects in a tray above the compressor, where the heat generated by the compressor causes it to evaporate.

Cleaning

Turn off the appliance by pressing the on/off button before cleaning the interior.

The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max. 65°C) with a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is important to prevent water from entering the control panel.

The defrost water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located on the rear wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost water drain a couple of times a year, and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or similar. Never use sharp or pointed implements.

The sealing strip around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal.

Dust collecting on the compressor and in the compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner.
