Frequently Asked Questions - PTL 1772 DNBI Philco

How do I set the temperature on my Philco PTL 1772 DNBI refrigerator?

Press the TEMP. button to cycle through settings: 8°C, 4°C, 2°C, and Super Cool. The setting takes effect after 15 seconds of no operation. The recommended temperature for the refrigerator compartment is 4°C.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. You will need a cross screwdriver, putty knife, 5/16 socket and ratchet, and masking tape. Follow the steps in the manual: power off, remove doors, exchange hinges, and rotate the fixing blocks 180°. Keep small parts safely.

How should I clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance. Remove all food and shelves. Use a soft cloth or sponge with a solution of two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm water. Rinse and dry. Do not use soap, abrasive cleaners, or organic solvents like alcohol or acetone.

What does the door open alarm mean?

If the refrigerator door is left open for 120 seconds, a buzzer will alarm. Close the door to stop the alarm, or press any key to cancel it. This helps save energy and maintain temperature.

How can I save energy with this refrigerator?

Place the appliance in a cool area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Let hot foods cool before storing. Avoid overloading. Wrap foods properly and seal containers. Organize items to reduce door openings. The most energy-efficient configuration uses the shelves and drawers as shown in the manual.

Does the refrigerator defrost automatically?

Yes, this model uses an air-cooling principle with automatic defrosting. However, if frost builds up due to seasonal changes, you can manually defrost by disconnecting power and wiping with a dry towel.

What should I do if the refrigerator is not cooling properly?

First check: Is the appliance plugged in and the socket working? Is the voltage adequate? Has there been a power failure? Ensure the temperature setting is not too high. Allow 2-3 hours after startup for cooling. If the compressor runs continuously, it may be normal in hot weather or if too much food is stored. Refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual.

What is the refrigerant used and is it safe?

The refrigerant is isobutane (R600a), a flammable natural gas with high environmental compatibility. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. In case of a leak, avoid flames and ventilate the room. Professional disposal is required.

How can I dispose of the refrigerator properly?

Do not dispose with household waste. Use municipal recycling facilities for electrical and electronic equipment. Before disposal, remove doors and shelves to prevent child entrapment. The refrigerant and insulation must be handled by professionals.

Can children use or play with this appliance?

Children aged 8 and above can use the appliance if supervised and instructed on safe use. Children aged 3-8 may load/unload food. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance by children should be supervised.

Simple line drawing of a smiling refrigerator with a power outlet (no text or symbols)

• After transportation, please let the product stay for more than 2 hours before turning on the power, otherwise it will lead to a decrease in cooling capacity or a damage to the product.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator shall have run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
• Please pull out the plug in case of power failure or cleaning. Do not connect the freezer to power supply within five minutes to prevent damages to the compressor due to successive starts.

2.6 Energy saving tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance.
  This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
  • Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
  Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

Failed operation	Check whether the appliance is connected to power or whether the plug is in well contactCheck whether the voltage is too lowCheck whether there is a power failure or partial circuits have tripped
Odor	Odorous foods shall be tightly wrappedCheck whether there is any rotten foodClean the inside of the refrigerator
Long-time operation of the compressor	Long operation of the refrigerator is normal in summer when the ambient temperature is highIt is not suggestible having too much food in the appliance at the same timeFood shall get cool before being put into the applianceThe doors are opened too frequently
Light fails to get lit	Check whether the refrigerator is connected to power supply and whether the illuminating light is damaged
Doors cannot be properly closed	The door is stuck by food packages.Too much food is placedThe refrigerator is tilted
Loud noise	Check whether the floor is level and whether the refrigerator is placed stablyCheck whether accessories are placed at proper locations
Door seal fails to be tight	Remove foreign matters on the door sealHeat the door seal and then cool it for restoration (or blow it with an electrical drier or use a hot towel for heating)
Water pan overflows	There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains too much water,resulting in heavy defrostingThe doors are not closed properly, resulting in frosting due to entry of air and increased water due to defrosting
Hot housing	Heat dissipation of the built-in condenser via the housing, which is normalWhen housing becomes hot due to high ambient temperature, storage of too much food or shutdown of the compressor is shut down, provide sound ventilation to facilitate heat dissipation
Surface condensation	Condensation on the exterior surface and door seals of the refrigerator is normal when the ambient humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise	Buzz: The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, and the buzzes are loud particularly upon start or stop. This is normal.Creak: Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may produce creak, which is normal.
