7.1 Activation and use of the Ice Maker

If the ice is not used frequently is advisable to empty the ice bin once every 8-10 days.

It is normal that some ice cubes stick to one another. If the ice is not frequently used, the older cubes can become opaque, and will have a strange flavour and become smaller.

The Icemaker automatically deactivates if the Vacation function is activated.

When the Icemaker 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 cleaning cycle.

The ice maker will only produce ice with the TriMode compartment set to Freezer Mode.

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

To activate the Ice Maker after installation of the appliance, press the Icemaker button ⓤ

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 by pressing the button ☑

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

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

At factory default settings Ice Maker can produce approx. 100 ice cubes within 24 hours.

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- Check the contents of the freezer for spoiled or out-of-date food.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.
  Note: the appliance is powered by two independent compressors. It is therefore normal to always have one of two compressors in operation.

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

Illustration of a baby being held by an adult in a hospital bed (no text or symbols visible)

Reset water filter in the settings menu or by pressing the Enter button √ for 5 seconds.

The Water Filter makes available high-quality water for the production of ice cubes. It provides up to 3000 liters of water for a maximum time of 12 months.

When the filter is nearly expired the message "Replace Filter" will appear on the display.

Filter Replacement

The filter is located inside the refrigerator compartment, above the top glass panel. Prior to changing the filter, switch off the Ice Maker by pressing the IceMaker button.

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

Then enter the Fhiaba Access Menu and set "Manual Clean" function. At the end of the cleaning cycle remove the water from the ice tray and wipe it dry.

most effective and safe manner to keep your foods in the best way for as long as possible.

Bear in mind that the Crisper-Fresco area 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 perfect state of preservation. It is usually quite clear when a food item is deteriorated, due to mold, unpleasant odor and unpleasant aspect. Nevertheless, there are cases in which these conditions are not so evident. 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.

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 Crisper-Fresco drawers and the freezer drawer.

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

9.1 General directions

Your Fhiaba is designed to ensure precise, constant temperatures and appropriate humidity levels in all compartments.

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

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 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 refrigerator/freezer in the

Fridge from 12°C to 18°C (from 35.6°F to 40.4°F) Fridge from 12°C to 18°C (from 35.6°F to 40.4°F) Low Temp Fridge from 12°C to 18°C (from 35.6°F to 40.4°F) Low Temp Criticar - Fresco from -7°C to +7°C (from 35.4°F to 33.6°F) TiiMode from 12°C to 22°C (from 35°F to 7.8°F)

9.2 TriMode compartment

To fully use the capacity of the TriMode compartment:

■ remove the drawer
■ remove the top drawer
■ install the supports delivered with the units (on request)

9.3 How to maintain good 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 after shopping. 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 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 before.

When placing foods in

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

■ The refrigerator temperature must be 8^ C ( 45^ F) or lower and the freezer temperature must be -18^ C ( 0^ F)
■ Follow the recommendations regarding the preservation times and temperatures indicated in the tables to follow.
- Keep raw meat, fish and poultry separate from other foods and avoid any possible drippings.

When placing foods in

• When placing in the refrigerator your meat, fish or poultry, leave these in their original packaging, unless the packaging is ripped or punctured. Repeated handling could introduce bacteria into these foods.
  ■ To keep food in the freezer is a good idea to use freezer containers, with plastic freezer bags or aluminum foil around the freezer containers, if you intend to preserve the food for more than two months. This will minimize dehydration and deterioration
  ■ Label and date the packages
• To keep foods in the refrigerator, wrap these in plastic film or deposit them in plastic containers or vacuum packed containers to avoid drying. Always mark with the date the packages or containers.
• 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.

When preparing food

■ Wash all items that have come in contact with food
■ Carefully wash hands before and after contact with food
■ Sterilize containers, utensils and kitchen tools that have come into contact with meat, fish and poultry.
■ Sterilize sponges used to wash kitchenware weekly.
■ Use plastic gloves if you have any hand condition.
■ Defrost foods in the refrigerator or in the microwave oven, not on the countertop. If you use a microwave oven to defrost food, cook the food immediately.
■ Marinate food only in the refrigerator.
■ Rinse fish and poultry before cooking.
- Avoid contamination when preparing dishes. Keep raw meat, fish, poultry and their liquids away from other food items.
For example, do not use the same surface or the same uten-

sils for preparing meat, fish, poultry and vegetables.

• Keep your cutting boards perfectly clean, whether made from wood or plastic.
  ■ Wash cutting boards with warm water and soap, and rinse with a diluted disinfecting solution.

When cooking food

• Do not taste raw or partially cooked meat, poultry, fish and eggs.
  ■ Cook meat at a temperature of 75^ C ( 167^ F) or higher. For cuts of meat over 5 cm, use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. For thinner cuts of meat, to check if it is cooked, check the color of the juice and whether it is clear or pink.
  If you are cooking meat which is not yet defrosted, increase the cooking time one and half times the normal duration.
• Bear in mind that roasted meat and poultry, when cooked in the oven, need temperatures of 160°C (320°F) or higher.
  ■ Cook the egg whites and yolks until they are well done.
• Do not use the same containers that have contained raw or partially cooked eggs.
  If your oven or microwave is equipped with a probe for temperature control, use it - internal temperatures are the best gauge for determining cooking completion.

When you have leftovers

- Keep leftovers in the refrigerator or in the freezer in small closed containers. Before placing them in the refrigerator, make sure that they have cooled off. Therefore let at least two hours pass after cooking and make sure that there is adequate air circulation around the container, so that the food can cool off quickly - this practice avoids increasing the temperature in the fridge / freezer compartment and subsequent cooling cycles as a result.

- Date leftover containers and use them within the recommended time.

- Completely cover and heat leftovers before serving. - Boil sauces and soups. Consume leftovers after they have been heated to a temperature of at least 75°C (167°F).

■ If you think the food is gone bad, or when in doubt, throw it away.

A characteristic unique to Fhiaba products is the combination of micro beaded stainless steel crisper drawers and the main stainless steel interior liner that help generate and maintain optimum internal humidity levels for extended preservation of fruit and vegetables.

A natural condition that may occur, is the accumulation of water on the bottom of the refrigeration compartment below the bottom crisper. This is dependant on a number of factors, ambient temperature and humidity levels in the surrounding environment, moisture levels on fruit and vegetables placed in the refrigerator, frequency in which the main door is opened and exposed to the ambient environment.

This temporary presence of water on the bottom is the result of the high humidity environment maintained in the compartment and is absolutely normal, and under normal operating conditions should be eliminated. However, in rare occasions where there may be an excessive amount of condensation simply remove the bottom drawer and wipe access water away.

When a high level of humidity is present either in the environment or in the foods placed in the Fresco drawers, the bottom of the Fresco compartment might be covered with some water or ice (if the temperature is set between 0^ C and -2C^ ).

Such condition is normal and it is due to the high humidity levels of the Fresco compartment; high humidity together with low temperatures is what guarantees a longer preservation of foods.

Water or ice can disappear on its own if the air humidity level should lower; 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 +2°C 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.

9.4 Recommendations for preserving fresh food

Vegetables

Wash vegetables in cold water and dry well. Place vegetables in vacuum packed containers, plastic containers or vegetable bags in a Fresco Drawer.

Fruit

Wash and dry fresh fruit. Pack very aromatic fruit in plastic bags.

Fruit should be placed in the high humidity Fresco compartment.

Packaged meat

Place in the refrigerator in its original packaging.

After opening, wrap the remaining food in plastic bags or aluminum foil.

Fresh meat, fish and poultry

Remove the original packaging, then put in plastic bags or containers and immediately place in the refrigerator.

Eggs

Place the eggs in their package or container into the refrigerator without washing them. Check the "best before" date and at any rate use the eggs within two weeks of purchasing.

Milk, cream and fresh cheeses

These should be kept in their original closed packaging. Place these on refrigerator shelves and consume these within five days of purchase.

Cheeses

Place these in the Fresco drawer in their original packaging. Once opened, close these hermetically in plastic bags or aluminum foil.

Leftovers

Let these cool off and cover hermetically with aluminum foil or place

in sealed containers to prevent drying or the spread of odors.

9.5 Recommendations for preserving frozen food

Frozen food

Place food in plastic bags for the freezer. These bags must be hermetically sealed against air and humidity. Do not refreeze defrosted meat.

Ice cream

The firmness of ice cream depends on the quantity of cream that it contains. In general, high-quality ice cream has large amounts of cream, therefore a very low temperature in the freezer will be necessary to maintain its firmness.

Consequently, ice cream without much firmness is not necessarily an indication of a temperature problem as raised above normal levels.

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.

11 Care and Cleaning

11.1 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.

Scrupulously 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.

11.2 Condenser cleaning

A ventilation grille is located either at the top of the appliance or at the bottom according to the model type.

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 ventilation grille can be removed to allow a more accurate cleaning of the filter. Every 6 months the display shows the message "Check Cond", clean the condenser and press for 5 seconds the Enter button to reset.

Operate as follows:

■ Switch off the appliance by pressing the Unit button ☑ the main control panel for approx 3 seconds.
- Wait approx 30 minutes, until the finned condenser cools down to room temperature.
- On models with ventilation at the base remove the grille at the bottom (magnetically attached) and take it off. On models with ventilation lift the grille as shown in the picture.
■ Thoroughly clean the grille and the foam filter, by means of a vacuum cleaner and the soft brush attachment.
■ Clean it thoroughly from any dust build up as shown in the picture, taking care not to damage it.
■ Start up the appliance again, by pressing the Unit button ⏻ on the main

Illustration showing a door with airflow indicators and a hand inserting a pipe into a cabinet (no text or symbols)

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

11.3 Internal cleaning

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

Do not bring cold glass parts into contact with boiling water. Do not wash any parts of the refrigerator in a dishwashing machine since this could damage or irreparably deform the parts.

12.1 Troubleshooting Guide

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 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.

Noise could be more marked depending on the position of the appliance and the surrounding environment.

Condensation inside and outside

of the refrigerator

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 perfectly closed.

Ice or frost build up inside the refrigerator

or freezer

Did you leave the doors open for a long period of time?

Do the doors close perfectly?

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

In case of frost or ice build up in the Crisper-Fresco compartment, due to frequent and prolonged opening of the doors, deactivate the Crisper-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 odors inside the refrigerator

Clean the appliance completely according to the instructions.

Hermetically cover all the food. Do not conserve food for prolonged 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 occur: in this case it is necessary to wait a few seconds until the pressure balances before opening the door.
