Frequently Asked Questions - PRB 376S A++ PRIVILEG

What should I do if the refrigerator does not work?

Check if the power cable is plugged into a live socket with proper voltage. Also ensure circuit breakers and fuses are functioning correctly.

Why is the motor running continuously?

Continuous motor run can be due to frequent door openings, large amount of food stored, high room temperature, or incorrect thermostat setting. Ensure the thermostat is set to MED and door closes properly.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Turn the thermostat knob: MIN for low cooling, MED for normal (recommended), MAX for maximum cooling. The '•' position switches off cooling and light.

Why is there water in the defrost pan?

This is normal in hot, humid weather. Ensure the appliance is level to prevent overflow.

Why are the edges of the cabinet warm?

This is normal, especially in hot weather or when the compressor runs, to prevent condensation on the door seal.

What should I do if the interior light does not work?

Check power supply. If the LED bulb is broken, contact After-sales Service for replacement. Do not attempt to replace it yourself.

How long should I wait after first plugging in before storing food?

Wait at least 4-6 hours to allow the appliance to reach the correct temperature before placing food inside.

Why is the appliance temperature too high?

Check if the condenser (back) is dust-free, door is closed properly, seals are intact, and no large amount of warm food has been added. High ambient temperature also affects cooling.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Use the reversibility kit provided. Instructions should be in the user manual.

How should I store food in the freezer?

Pack food in airtight containers or freezer bags. The bottom drawer is the coldest zone, ideal for freezing fresh food. Do not overload to allow air circulation.

Problem Possible Cause Solution

THE APPLIANCE IS NOT WORKING There may be an appliance power supply problem.		> Check if power cable plugged into a live socket with the proper voltage.> Check if the protection devices and fuses of the electrical system in your home
THERE IS WATER IN THE DEFROST PAN	This is normal in hot, damp weather. The pan can even be half full.	> Make sure the appliance is level so that the water does not overflow.
THE EDGES OF THE APPLIANCE CABINET, WHICH COME IN CONTACT WITH THE DOOR SEAL, ARE WARM TO THE TOUCH	This is not a defect. This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is running.
THE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK The light may need replacing.		> Make sure if the protection devices and fuses of the electrical system in your home work well.> Check if the power cable is plugged into a live socket with the proper voltage> In case the LEDs are broken the user must call the Service for exchange of the same type available only at our After-sales Service Centers or authorized dealers.
THE MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO MUCH	Motor running time depends on different things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the temperature controls.	> Make sure that the appliance controls are correctly set.> Check if there is not a large amount of food been added to the appliance.> Check that the door is not opened too often.> Check that the door close properly.
THE APPLIANCE TEMPERATURE IS TOO HIGH	There could be various causes (see "Solutions")	> Make sure that the condenser (back the appliance) is free of dust and fluff.> Make sure that the door properly closed.> Make sure that the door seals properly fitted.> On hot days or if the room is warm, the motor naturally runs longer.> If the appliance door has been left open for a while or if large amounts of food have been stored, the motor will run longer in order to cool down the interior of the appliance.
THE DOORS DO NOT OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY	There could be various causes (see "Solutions")	> Check that food packages are not blocking the door.> Check that the internal parts or automatic ice maker are not out of position.> Check that the door seals are not dirty or sticky.> Ensure the appliance is level.

FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass containers and cling film to wrap foods.

Always use closed containers for liquids and for food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer or cover them.

If you have a little quantity of food to store in the refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the coolest area of the compartment.

Foods which give off a large amount ethylene gas and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit, vegetables and salad, should always be separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for example do not store tomatoes together with kiwi fruits or cabbage.

To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle holder (available on selected models).

Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient air circulation.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer is the ideal storage location for store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment.

The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24-hour period is indicated on the rating plate (...kg/24h).

If you have a little quantity of food to store in the freezer, we recommend to use the coldest areas of your freezer compartment, corresponding to the bottom area.
