Frequently Asked Questions - T60170B SERVIS

How to set the temperature on my SERVIS T60170B fridge?

Turn the thermostat dial inside the fridge compartment. Settings range from 1 (warmest) to 7 (coldest). For normal use, set between 3 and 4. The freezer temperature is automatically controlled.

Why is my fridge not cooling properly?

Check that the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the door is fully closed and the seal is clean. Clean the condenser coils at the back if they are dusty. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize after loading.

How to defrost the freezer?

Unplug the appliance and remove all food. Leave the freezer door open. Place towels to absorb melting water. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice. Once defrosted, dry and switch on.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Follow the instructions in the manual: remove the top hinge, door, and bottom hinge, then reinstall on the opposite side. You may need a screwdriver and spanner.

What does the alarm sound mean?

The alarm indicates the door has been left open for more than 2 minutes, or the internal temperature is too high. Close the door properly or check if the freezer is overfilled.

How to clean the interior?

Unplug the fridge. Remove all shelves and drawers. Wash with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly before replacing. Clean the door seals with a damp cloth.

Why is there water pooling inside the fridge?

Check if the defrost drain is blocked. Clean the drain hole at the back of the fridge using a pipe cleaner or cotton bud. Also ensure the fridge is level so water flows to the drain.

How to change the interior light bulb?

Unplug the fridge. Remove the light cover by pressing the tabs. Replace with a LED module (max 1W) if available, or the specified bulb (usually E14, 10W). Reattach cover.

What is the recommended temperature for the fridge and freezer?

Fridge: 3°C to 5°C (37°F to 41°F). Freezer: -18°C (0°F) or lower. Use a thermometer to verify. Adjust the thermostat if needed.

How to transport my fridge safely?

Empty the appliance and secure shelves. Use straps to hold the door closed. Keep the fridge upright during transport. If tilted, allow 24 hours upright before plugging in.

USAGE>

FOOD STORAGE TIPS >

When using your Fridge Freezer for the first time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
We recommend that you wipe all shelving and trays with a cloth soaked in warm water mixed with a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate before use. After cleaning, rinse with warm water and dry.
» You may notice a slight odour when using your Fridge Freezer for the first time. This is perfectly normal and will fade away once the fridge starts to cool.
» Before using your Fridge Freezer, make sure that it has been connected to an appropriate mains power supply and is switched on at the socket.
» When using your Fridge Freezer for the first time, set the thermostat to a value of 4 for the first 24 hours.
Your Fridge Freezer has a 5 minute built in delay function, designed to prevent damage to the compressor. When power is applied to your Fridge Freezer, it will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.

To help you use your Fridge Freezer efficiently, please take the time to read the following tips and guidance.

Storage Areas:

The circulation of air within your Fridge Freezer causes areas of different temperatures. It is recommended that you make use of these areas when storing your food.

The coldest area of the fridge compartment is at the bottom, above the vegetable drawer. We recommend that you use this area to store food that will perish easily, such as fish, ready meals, baked goods and dairy products.

The warmest area of your fridge is the top shelf of the door. We recommend that you store butter and cheeses in this shelf.

Storing food:

It is best to store you food covered or packaged, to prevent it from drying out, and to prevent smells affecting other food in your Fridge. Store fruit and vegetables loose in the vegetable containers. Avoid storing potatoes, onions and garlic in your refrigerator.

Other tips you might find helpful are:

» Wash your food before storage.
» Allow warm or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps to reduce power consumption.

FOOD STORAGE TIPS >

» Keep as much space as possible between your items of food. This allows the cold air to circulate freely around them.
» Take care when storing tropical fruit such as pineapples as they can quickly deteriorate in lower temperatures.
» Divide and separate food into smaller pieces before storage.
» Cover or wrap food to prevent odours. We recommend that you store meat loosely covered as this allows air to circulate around the meat causing the surface to dry slightly, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria.
» Do not store food close to the lamp, or block the cover or the cooling compartment.

The table below is a quick guide, showing you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

Food Storage Duration Location
Fruits and Vegetables 1 week Loose in Vegetable Drawer
Fish and Meat 2-3 Days Wrapped on Glass Shelf
Fresh Cheese 3-4 Days	Top Door Shelf
Butter and Margarine 1 Week	Top Door Shelf
Bottles, Yogurt and Milk	Refer to Packaging	Door Shelf
Eggs	1 month	Door Shelf

The Freezer Compartment:

You should use the freezer compartment of your Fridge Freezer for storing food for long periods and making ice. Aim to freeze fresh food as quickly as possible so that it keeps its taste and appearance.

It is important that you do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity of your Fridge Freezer, this will help to ensure that your food freezes as quickly as possible. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24 hour period is 3.5 kg.

The storage durations of frozen food can be changed by a variety of factors, such as; the frequency of the doors opening and closing, thermostat settings, food types and the period of time that elapsed from when the food was acquired to the time it entered the freezer. It is important that you follow the packaging on frozen foods and do not exceed the storage duration. The table below contains some recommendations on freezing.

Food	Preparation	Storage Duration (Months)	Thawing Period at Room Temperature (Hours)
Beef Steak	Cut into single portions	6-10	1-2
Lamb Cut into single portions		6-8	1-2
Minced Meat Packed in convenient portions		1-3	2-3
Sausage Must be packed	1-2	Until Thawed
Chicken and Turkey	Packed in convenient portions	1-2	10-12

FOOD STORAGE TIPS >

CLEANING AND CARE >

Food Preparation Storage Duration		(Months)	Thawing Period at Room Temperature (Hours)
Freshwater Fish (such as trout) Cleaned well inside		2	U
Lean Fish (such as Sea Bass)	and scaled. Washed and dried. Cut off head and tail where necessary	4-8 Until Well Thawed
Fatty fish (such as Mackerel)		2-4 Until Well Thawed
Peas	Shelled and washed	12	May Be Used From Frozen

WARNING: Do not re-freeze frozen food once it has thawed. It may be a danger to your health.

Ice Cube Trays:

Your can make ice cubes using the ice cube trays supplied with your Fridge Freezer;

» Fill each ice cube tray three quarters full with water and place it on the bottom of the freezer compartment.

Power Disruption:

In the event of a power cut, please do not open the door of the freezer compartment. Your Fridge Freezer will preserve your frozen food in an ambient environmental temperature of 25 °C for approximately 13 hours. This time period will be shorter if the ambient temperature is higher. When power is re-applied after a power cut your Fridge Freezer will not operate for 4-5 minutes. This is to allow the gas in the cooling system to balance and is perfectly normal.

CLEANING AND CARE >

From time to time it will be necessary to carry out cleaning of your Fridge Freezer.

» Before cleaning your Fridge Freezer, turn your mains power supply off and remove the plug from the socket.
» Do not wash your Fridge Freezer by pouring water on it.
» Use a warm, soapy cloth or sponge to the wipe the interior and exterior of your Fridge Freezer.
» Carefully remove all shelves and drawers by sliding outwards or upwards and clean with soapy water. Do not wash in a washing machine or dish washer.
» Clean the condenser at the back of your Fridge Freezer at least once a year with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
» Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all purpose cleaning agents to clean your Fridge Freezer. They may damage the plastic surfaces and other components with the chemicals they contain.

CLEANING AND CARE >

Cleaning The Vaporisation Container:

Your Fridge Freezer performs fully automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of this automatic defrosting flows through the drain hole at the back of the fridge (see page 7) into the vaporisation container at the rear of your Fridge Freezer and evaporates. We recommend cleaning the vaporisation container at regular intervals to prevent odours from building up.

To clean the vaporisation container:

1 Remove the vaporisation container by unscrewing the 2 screws (Figure 6 a and b)
② Clean the vaporisation container with warm soapy water and dry with a cloth.
② Re-fit the vaporisation container by screwing it back into position.
