Each time the appliance is switched on, it goes through a self-diagnosis procedure lasting three minutes before starting up completely.

If only the refrigerator compartment is switched off, that specific fan will continue to operate in order to prevent the unpleasant odours and mould from developing.

7.1 Activating and using the Ice Maker

BERTAZZONI REF36BMBIXRT - Activating and using the Ice Maker - 1

BERTAZZONI REF36BMBIXRT - Activating and using the Ice Maker - 2

Note

If the ice is not used frequently, is advisable to empty the ice bin once every 8-10 days. It is normal for some ice cubes to stick to one another. If the ice is not frequently used, the older cubes can become opaque, will have a strange flavour and become smaller. The Ice Maker automatically switches off if the Vacation function is activated. When the Ice Maker is started for the first time, it is recommended to dispose of the first full bin of ice. If the equipment has been switched off for a month or more, it is recommended to perform a water and filter cleaning cycle. The Ice Maker produces ice if the FlexMode compartment is set to Freezer mode.

BERTAZZONI REF36BMBIXRT - Note - 1

Warning

The ice maker will continue to operate even if the ice bin is not in position.

To activate the Ice Maker after the appliance is installed, touch the Function icon and then the Ice Maker icon within Functions. Please note that 12 to 24 hours are required before ice production can begin.

The production is 10 cubes per cycle, with approximately 10 cycles every 24 hours

The yield depends on the temperature set in the freezer, the ambient temperature and how frequently the door is opened. If the appliance is operating without being connected to the water system, make sure that the Ice Maker is deactivated by touching the icon. The Ice Maker produces ice until the ice tray is full and will automatically stop once the maximum level is reached. With the Super Ice function, it is possible to increase the quantity of ice produced every 24 hours, while the Set Cube Size function allows you to select the size of the ice cubes produced.

Do the ice cubes have an unusual odour?

Ice is a porous material which can absorb odours from its surrounding 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 odours:

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 it out and wipe it 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 odours from accumulating.
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

Normal noises

Hum: The refrigerator unit is running. The fan in the air recirculation 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.

BERTAZZONI REF36BMBIXRT - Normal noises - 1

The appliance is powered by two independent compressors. It is therefore normal to always have one of the two compressors in operation.

BERTAZZONI REF36BMBIXRT - Normal noises - 2

Warning

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

7.2 Water Filter

BERTAZZONI REF36BMBIXRT - Water Filter - 1

natural_image Illustration of a person in medical attire holding an object near a table (no text or symbols visible)

The Water Filter makes it possible to have high-quality water for ice cube production. It can filter up to 3000 litres of water over a maximum time period of 12 months.

Filter Replacement

The filter (code: Z330001) is located inside the refrigerator compartment, above the top glass panel. Prior to changing the filter, switch off the ice maker by touching the Ice Maker icon.

Open the top glass panel and carefully rotate the filter cartridge counter-clockwise for one quarter rotation until it detaches from its housing. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out. Remove the cap from the new cartridge and insert it into the housing by gently rotating it clockwise for one quarter rotation until it locks into place.

Access the Menu and use the 📄 icon to select the "Manual Clean" function. At the end of the cleaning cycle, remove the water from the ice tray and wipe it dry.

If you choose not to use the water filter (if, for instance, you are connecting the appliance to an already filtered water source) then it is suggested that you also set the Water Filter function using the icon. Touch the Reset icon and disable the warning to avoid receiving reminders to change the filter (since you are not using it).

For more details and for how to adjust this function setting, follow the instructions contained in this manual in the "Functions" section.

8.1 Lighting

BERTAZZONI REF36BMBIXRT - Lighting - 1

natural_image Pure diagram of a refrigerator with three doors and ventilation slots, no text or symbols present

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

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

9.1 General instructions

Your refrigerator is designed to ensure constant accurate temperatures and appropriate humidity levels in all compartments.

In addition, the double refrigeration ensures that frozen foods and ice do not absorb the odour of fresh foods and that the humidity in the refrigerator does not freeze, resulting in frost build-up.

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

Do bear in mind that all foods will inevitably change their characteristics with 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 in the case of improper handling and of incorrect storage temperatures and humidity levels.

We therefore recommended that you follow the instructions provided below which will allow you to use your refrigerator/freezer in the safest and most effective manner, to keep your foods in the best possible way for as long as possible.

Bear in mind that the Fresco drawer is the area for preserving the most delicate fresh foods, since it ensures constant average temperature near freezing.

Periodically check that all foods are in a proper state of preservation. It is usually quite clear when a food item has deteriorated, due to mould, an unsavoury odour and an unpleasant aspect. Nevertheless, there are cases in which these conditions are not so evident. If you believe that a food item has been kept for an excessive period of time and may have deteriorated, do not consume this item or even taste it, even if it still seems to be well preserved, since the bacteria that cause deterioration in 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 onto other foods.
Purchase meat, poultry and fish last. Do not leave your groceries in a warm car after shopping. Keep a freezer bag in your car and use it when the outside temperature is high and for long trips.
Check the production dates and "Best before" dates 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 storage period.
When possible, let warm foods adjust to room temperature for at least two hours before placing them in the refrigerator, unless you have activated the Shopping function ahead of time.

When placing foods in the fridge

Check the refrigeration temperature of the various compartments using the control panel:

The refrigerator temperature must be 46^ F or lower and the freezer temperature must be 0^ F.
Follow the recommendations regarding the storage periods and temperatures provided in the tables below.
Keep raw meat, fish and poultry separate from other foods and avoid any possible leaks or drips.

When placing foods in the fridge

When placing your meat, fish or poultry in the refrigerator, leave them in their original packaging, unless it is ripped or punctured. Repeated handling could introduce bacteria into these foods.
When storing food in the freezer, it 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.

BERTAZZONI REF36BMBIXRT - When placing foods in the fridge - 1

Notes

When the place where the unit is located is very humid or damp or there is a high level of moisture in the foods that are placed inside of the Fresco drawer, the

bottom of the Fresco compartment might become covered in some water or ice (if the temperature is set between 32^ F and 28^ F).

This is normal and is due to the high humidity levels in the Fresco compartment; high humidity together with low temperatures is what guarantees that foods can be preserved for a longer time.

Water or ice can disappear on its own if the air humidity level drops; it is also possible to remove the water with a towel. If a thin layer of ice has formed, set the temperature of the Fresco compartment to 36^ F and, after one day, remove the water with a towel.

If the layer of ice is thicker, it might be necessary to shut off the Fresco compartment for one day in order to melt it.

BERTAZZONI REF36BMBIXRT - Notes - 1

Warning

After a prolonged interruption of electrical power, once the electrical power is reactivated a sound alert will indicate if the temperature has risen above normal levels. In addition to this, the highest temperature detected inside the compartments will be shown on the display for one minute, to allow the user to decide how to best use the food items.

After one minute the display will resume its normal operation, although the Alarm ▲ button will continue to blink.

Press the Alarm 🔊 button to display the highest recorded temperatures.

11.1 Troubleshooting Guide

If you notice any malfunctioning of your appliance, use this guide before calling for service. This guide can help you to solve the problem on your own or could provide important information that you can convey to the Service technician in order to ensure rapid and effective repair.

Display messages and sound alerts.

A malfunction is usually indicated on the display. Problems that cannot be solved by the user are reported through a fault code. Keep in mind, however, that these may appear in messages or alarms under particular conditions of use or during start-up. In such an event, deactivate the sound alert by pressing the Alarm ▲ button, leave the appliance running and open the doors as infrequently as possible for 10-12 hours.

The refrigerator or the freezer is not working.

Is the appliance connected to the electrical power supply? Is electrical power being supplied from the electrical receptacle? Is the Unit @button activated? Is the unit in "Demo" Mode?

The refrigerator or 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 placed inside? Is the unit in "Demo" Mode?

The appliance keeps running for a long time.

Bear in mind that during very hot weather and with very high temperatures in the room it is normal for the compressor to remain on for extended periods of time. Were the doors or drawers open for a long period of time? Were large quantities of food recently placed inside? Check that the doors are closed and that food or containers are not keeping the door from fully closing. Are one or more of the compartments in Shopping Mode?

If you hear unusual noises

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

The noise could be more noticeable depending on the position of the appliance and the surrounding environment.

Condensation inside and outside of the refrigerator.

If the atmospheric conditions are very humid or damp, the formation of condensation is normal. Opening the door or drawers for extended periods of time can contribute to the formation of condensation. In any case, make sure that the doors are always fully closed.

Ice or frost build-up inside the refrigerator or freezer.

Did you leave the doors open for a long period of time? Are the doors closing completely? If the doors will not fully close, contact your installer. In the event of frost or ice build-up in the Fresco compartment due to frequent and extended opening of the doors, deactivate the Fresco function via the button on the control panel. Wait until the frost or ice melt, then remove the drawer and dry the sides and bottom of the compartment.

Unpleasant odours inside the refrigerator.

Clean the appliance thoroughly according to the instructions. Hermetically cover all of the food. Do not store food for extended periods of time.

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 be created: in such an event, it is necessary to wait a few seconds until the pressure balances before opening the door.

The appliance is cooling, but the lights and display are not working.

Check to see if the appliance was accidentally put into Sabbath Mode.

The Ice Maker does not work.

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

To switch the Ice Maker on, 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 a half hours.

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 that you remove the block of ice cubes and then let the Ice Maker fill the ice tray again.

The ice has an unusual flavour or colour.

When the Ice Maker is started for the first time, it is recommended to empty out the first full tray of ice cubes.

If the refrigerator 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.

BERTAZZONI REF36BMBIXRT - The ice has an unusual flavour or colour. - 1

If the unit you purchased was used as a showroom model, it may be in a special energy-saving mode called Demo Mode, in which 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 contact your point of purchase for assistance with disabling this feature.
