Frequently Asked Questions - VFD300SEW VEDETTE

How do I adjust the temperature of my Vedette VFD300SEW refrigerator?

The thermostat is located inside the refrigerator. It has 8 positions: 1 (warmest) to 7 (coldest) and 0 to turn off. Adjust it according to the ambient temperature: in summer (above 38°C) use 2-4, in winter (below 16°C) use 4-6. Wait 12 hours after an adjustment before checking the coldest zone indicator.

How to defrost the freezer?

Defrost the freezer at least once a month. To do this, unplug the appliance, remove the food and wrap it in newspaper, place a basin under the appliance to collect water, and leave the door open. Never use metal tools to scrape off frost. Once defrosting is complete, dry the inside before plugging back in.

How to reverse the door opening direction?

Door reversal is possible. Unplug the appliance and empty it. Tilt it backward. Remove the upper, middle, and lower hinges following the steps in the manual. Move the hole covers and hinge pins. Reassemble the doors, ensuring the gaskets are properly aligned. Keep all parts. It is recommended to have two people.

Why is my refrigerator making noise?

Some noises are normal (compressor, gas circulation). If the noise is abnormal, check that the appliance is level (adjust the feet), that it does not touch the wall or objects, and that the rear pipes are not in contact. If the noise persists, contact after-sales service.

How to clean the interior of the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use a soft cloth and warm water with mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. The door bins and shelves can be removed for easier cleaning.

What is the volume of my refrigerator and how much can I freeze in 24 hours?

The total volume is 304 liters (229 L for the refrigerator and 75 L for the freezer). The freezing capacity is 3.4 kg in 24 hours. Do not exceed this amount when freezing fresh food.

What does the 'OK' indicator mean in the refrigerator?

The temperature indicator in the coldest zone shows 'OK' if the temperature is correct for food preservation. If 'OK' does not appear, adjust the thermostat to a colder setting and wait 12 hours. After adding fresh food or opening the door for a long time, it is normal for 'OK' to not display temporarily.

How to save energy with my refrigerator?

Place the appliance away from heat sources and sunlight. Leave a space of at least 50 mm on the sides and back. Do not open the door frequently. Do not put hot food inside. Defrost regularly. The optimal temperature settings are: summer 2-4, winter 4-6.

What to do in case of a power cut?

In case of a power cut, do not plug the appliance back in for 5 minutes after the power returns to avoid damaging the compressor. If the power cut lasts longer than the 'rise time' indicated on the rating plate (not specified here), thawed food should be consumed quickly or cooked and refrozen.

How to contact Vedette after-sales service?

For any issue, call 09 78 97 97 97 Monday to Saturday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM (price of a local call). You can also go to a BUT store. The legal warranty is 2 years and spare parts are available for 5 years.
