Q: What position should I set the thermostat on the FAR DP2624IL refrigerator?

Set the thermostat to a mid-range position (around 3-4) for optimal operation. This will give you approximately 4°C in the refrigerator compartment and -18°C in the freezer. The thermostat has 7 numbered positions (1-7) plus a STOP position (0) that disables cooling. Turn the knob towards the higher numbers to achieve colder temperatures. Practical tips: Before first use : Set the thermostat to the lowest position (7) at least 2 hours before storing food, then switch to normal position (3-4). Adjustments : Wait at least 12 hours after each change for the temperature to stabilize before readjusting. Factors to consider : The ambient temperature of your kitchen, the frequency of door openings, and the amount of food stored affect cooling. If after 12 hours you find it too cold, decrease by one notch; if too warm, increase. Restarting : Allow a delay of 5 minutes between turning off and turning on again to let the compressor reset.

Question 1

Why is ice accumulating at the back of my FAR RIE4122181/23EHO refrigerator?

Accepted Answer

This accumulation of ice at the back of your FAR RIE4122181/23EHO refrigerator is generally due to a blockage in the drainage system.

Your appliance has an automatic defrosting system: water flows into a rear tray through a drainage hole located at the back of the appliance. If this hole is clogged or obstructed, water stagnates and freezes, causing the observed ice accumulation.

How to resolve the issue:

Unplug the appliance before any intervention.
Access the back of the refrigerator and inspect the drainage hole (it is located behind the appliance).
Clear the opening: gently clean with a soft object (soft-bristle brush, nylon wire) to remove deposits and residues.
Ensure that the rear condensation tray is not blocked.
Plug the appliance back in.

Tip: Indoor humidity (especially the duration and frequency of door openings) affects frost formation. If it recurs, limit prolonged openings and check that the doors close properly.

Question 2

How long should I wait after plugging in the FAR DPG2025DW G before the first use?

Accepted Answer

After plugging in your FAR DPG2025DW G refrigerator, you need to wait a certain period before the first use with food. Start by removing all packaging materials, then clean the inside of the appliance with warm water mixed with baking soda (5 ml for 50 cl of water), and dry the appliance thoroughly.

When using the appliance for the first time, set the thermostat to the lowest temperature at least 2 hours before introducing food inside. After this 2-hour period, return the thermostat to its normal position. This waiting time allows the appliance to thermally stabilize and the cooling system to function properly.

During this initial waiting phase, ensure that the appliance is properly installed on a flat surface and adjust the adjustable feet located at the base to ensure correct leveling. Do not open the door repeatedly or for extended periods at the beginning of operation, as this could affect the cooling ramp-up.

It is also important to check that the appliance is plugged into a suitable 220-240 V~, 50 Hz outlet and that all internal packaging, including foam protections and transport wedges, has been removed.

Question 3

Why does frost form in the refrigerator compartment of the FAR DP2624IL?

Accepted Answer

Frost accumulating in the refrigerator section (and not just in the freezer) is generally a sign of moisture accumulation due to frequent door openings. The manual for the FAR DP2624IL states that frost accumulates at a rate depending on the duration of door openings and the humidity that enters.

To limit this phenomenon:

Open the door as little as possible and for the shortest time possible
Check the condition of the door seal — if it is worn or not closing properly, outside moisture continuously seeps in
Regularly clean the seal to ensure a tight closure
Defrost when the frost exceeds 5 mm in thickness — use a plastic scraper (never metal, to avoid damaging the compressor)
Set the thermostat between positions 3 and 4 to maintain around 4°C in the refrigerator

If frost continues despite these precautions, check that the rear ventilation of the appliance is not obstructed (minimum 50 mm of free space behind).

Set the thermostat to a mid-range position (around 3-4) for optimal operation. This will give you approximately 4°C in the refrigerator compartment and -18°C in the freezer.

The thermostat has 7 numbered positions (1-7) plus a STOP position (0) that disables cooling. Turn the knob towards the higher numbers to achieve colder temperatures.
