Frequently Asked Questions - DELBC178 DELONGHI

How do I adjust the temperature on my DeLonghi DELBC178 refrigerator?

Use the thermostat dial located inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn it clockwise for colder settings and counterclockwise for warmer. The recommended setting is midway for normal use.

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

Check if the appliance is level, the door seals are clean and intact, and the condenser coils (at the back) are free of dust. Also ensure the temperature setting is not too low. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.

How often should I defrost the freezer compartment?

Defrost the freezer when the ice layer reaches 3-5 mm thickness. This helps maintain energy efficiency and keeps the appliance running properly.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Refer to the user manual for step-by-step instructions. You will need a screwdriver and possibly a spanner. It is recommended to have two people for this task.

What is the proper way to clean the refrigerator?

Unplug the appliance. Remove all food and shelves. Wash the interior with a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects. Clean the condenser coils every six months.

Why is there water pooling at the bottom of the refrigerator?

This is usually due to a blocked defrost drain. Clean the drain hole (located under the vegetable drawer) with a pipe cleaner or soft wire. Also check that the drain pan is correctly positioned.

What does the 'E' energy class mean?

Energy class E is part of the EU energy label scale (A to G). It indicates the appliance is less efficient than higher classes (A to D) but meets current standards. Actual consumption may vary based on usage.

How long does it take for the refrigerator to reach the set temperature after first plugging in?

Typically 2 to 4 hours for the refrigerator compartment and up to 24 hours for the freezer to stabilize. Avoid opening the door frequently during this time.

Can I store hot food in the refrigerator?

No, always let hot food cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator. Storing hot food can raise the internal temperature, affecting other stored items and increasing energy consumption.

What is the warranty period for the DeLonghi DELBC178?

DeLonghi offers a standard 2-year warranty for parts and labor. Some regions may have extended warranty options. Always keep your purchase receipt as proof of purchase.

Cleaning the Wine Cooler

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves.
• Wipe the inside surfaces with a sponge and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 litre of warm water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. Allow wooden shelves to dry before placing back into the wine cooler.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wipe the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
• Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will scratch the stainless steel with steel particles and rusting may occur.

Removing the Shelves

• Before removing a Shelf from the appliance, it is necessary to remove all the bottles on the Shelf.
• For a model without Telescopic Rail, move the shelf to the position where the cut of the wooden shelf is directly under the plastic stopper and lift the wooden shelf.
• Please ensure these are replaced when the shelf is put back.
• Make sure the shelves are fully engaged before loading any bottle into the cabinet. Pull the shelves out all the way to the STOPPER position and push them back in several times to make sure the shelves are properly engaged.

- For models with Telescopic Rail, lift the whole Shelf upwards horizontally to get it off the 4 Locating Pins of the Telescopic Rail.

Carbon Filter Change (Wine Cabinet models only)

• A good ambient air quality is important for wine maturing. The Carbon Filter is very helpful to absorb odour and improve air quality. For the models with Carbon Filter, we suggest to replace it once a year. Please contact your dealer to get the filter.
• Removing the Carbon Filter: Hold the Carbon Filter and turn it 90° to the left or right to remove it.

• Reinstalling the Carbon Filter:

Hold the Carbon Filter and turn it 90° to the left or right until it clicks into place.

Circular mechanical component with internal gear and ventilation slots (no text or symbols)

Defrosting

• A Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the appliance during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the appliance, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
• You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean inside of it.
• You should be careful to make sure that wine bottles do not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of your appliance.

Moving your Cabinet

If you need to move your appliance to another location you should follow the steps outlined below.

• Remove all items from the cabinet.
• Securely tape down all loose items such as the shelves inside of the appliance.
• Turn the adjustable foot up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door closed.
• Ensure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

Power Failure

• If power is cut to the appliance, for a few hours it will be able to maintain the temperature inside the cabinet. Providing that the number of times that the door is opened is kept to a minimum.
• If the power cut is for longer than a few hours, then you will need to store the contents in an alternate location to prevent them being affected by temperature rise.

IMPORTANT: If the appliance is unplugged, the power is lost or turned off you must wait 5 minutes before restarting the appliance. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the compressor could be damaged.

Vacation Time

• Short vacations: Leave the appliance in operation for holidays of less than 3 weeks.
• Long vacations: If your appliance is not going to be in use for a period of time, you should remove the bottles of wine and switch off the appliance
• The interior should be cleaned with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• The interior should then be thoroughly dried.
• To prevent mould growth, the door should be left slightly ajar.

Disconnecting from Power

- If the unit is unplugged, or there is a power cut, you must wait for 5 minutes before restarting. Attempting to restart the appliance before 5 minutes has elapsed, may cause it not to function.
