Safety Precautions

DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS – OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY

Our refrigerators are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable materials. We urge you to

cooperate by disposing of the packaging properly. Contact your local dealer or the competent local organisations for

the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal facilities.

Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. Packaging parts, and especially plastic bags, may represent a

suffocation hazard for children.

Your old appliance must also be disposed of properly.

Important deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect scrapped appliances. Proper

disposal allows the intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain gases which may

damage the environment; it is important to ensure that the refrigeration circuit pipelines are not damaged until the

competent service has taken delivery of the appliance.

Before scrapping your refrigerator it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in position as for use, to ensure

that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. Also, cut the power supply lead and remove it

and the plug.

THIS APPLIANCE IS MARKED ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC ON

WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE).

THIS GUIDELINE IS THE FRAME OF A EUROPEAN-WIDE VALIDITY OF RETURN AND RECYCLING

ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT.

Safety Precautions

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2. INTENDED USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Keep the instruction handbook in a safe place; it contains important information which must be applied

when installing, using and servicing the refrigerator. The handbook must be kept so that it can be passed

on to any subsequent owners of the appliance.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to comply with the following precautions:

- Never put a damaged appliance into operation: if in doubt, contact your dealer.

- The appliance must be installed and connected to the electrical mains in full compliance with the

instructions provided in the handbook. The electrical connection conditions must be as specified on

the nameplate , which is in the bottom left-hand corner of the body of the refrigerator. The

appliance's electrical safety is only guaranteed if the household electrical system is earthed in

accordance with the relevant regulations.

- Make sure that all repairs and servicing are only carried out by authorised engineers from the

Smeg after-sales service. Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains in case of

breakdown and maintenance, when changing light-bulbs or during cleaning. Never defrost using

electrical devices or steam cleaners. Never remove frost or ice with sharp items, as this may cause

irreparable damage to the walls of the refrigerator.

- Never attempt to move the refrigerator by pulling on the door or the handle.

- High-alcohol drinks must only be stored sealed and vertical. Never store liquids in cans or glass

containers in the freezer compartment, especially if they contain added carbon dioxide. Never store

products containing gases, flammable propellants or explosive substances in the freezer: explosion

hazard!

- The use of electrical appliances (such as ice-cream makers or whisks) insidethe appliance is

forbidden.

- To ensure the refrigerator operates correctly, never obstruct or cover the air ducts in any way.

- Never touch frozen products taken straight from the freezer or put them in your mouth. Burn hazard

due to the very low temperatures.

- Never eat or drink foods which look or smell strange.

- This appliance is not suitable for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capacity, or by those without experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised or

instructed on the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

- Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

In case of electricity blackout, open the door(s) as little as possible. Once partly or completely thawed,

frozen foods must not be re-frozen.

Warning:

this refrigerator contains isobutane (R600a); this refrigerant gas is CFC-free but combustible.

When transporting, installing, cleaning and repairing the refrigerator, take care not to damage

any parts of the refrigeration circuit to prevent the risk of gas leaks. In case of damage, do not

use naked lights and ventilate the room containing the appliance appropriately.

The appliance is specifically constructed for domestic use and is therefore suitable for the refrigeration

and storage of fresh and frozen foods and the production of ice-cubes. The appliance has not been

designed or manufactured for professional use. Smeg declines all responsibility for damage deriving

from improper use of the appliance. The refrigerator has undergone the necessary tests on the tightness

of the refrigeration circuit and complies with the safety regulations for electrical appliances.

Warning:

the manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with

the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the

use of non-original spare parts.

Instructions for the Installer

3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

3.1 Choosing the site

Always place the refrigerator in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight

or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside the refrigerator

compartment), the appliance can be used in different temperature conditions:

Class Ambient temperature

SN (Subnormal) from +10°C to +32°C

N (Normal) from + 16° C to + 32° C

ST (Subtropical) from + 18° C to + 38° C

T (Tropical) from + 18° C to + 43° C

Never place the refrigerator close to heat sources. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must

be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from

electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems.

To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the refrigerator must not be placed

too close to the wall. To prevent this, the appliance comes complete with two

plastic spacers which must be fitted to the top of the condenser. If the

refrigerator is installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the

two must be at least 5 cm.

Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on

parquet or linoleum. If necessary, when positioning slide the refrigerator over

pieces of wood or a mat to the point decided for connection to the electrical mains.

3.2 Positioning and levelling the appliance

Place the fridge on a stable and level floor. In case the floor is not perfectly level, use the two adjustable

feet on the front part of the fridge (pict. 1). To ensure major stability, easier movement and a correct

positioning of the product, two additional wheels (pict. 2) are present at the rear. In any case we

recommend to move the fridge very carefully in order to avoid floor damage (especially in case of

wooden floor).

1) 2)

3.3 Electrical connection

Before switching the refrigerator on for the first time, leave it vertical for at least two hours. Then connect

the appliance's power supply lead to a mains socket with earth contact, installed in accordance with

electrical safety regulations. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate inside the

refrigerator compartment. The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in

compliance with the relevant regulations and requirements. The appliance is able to withstand short

fluctuations in voltage of no more than 15% less or 10% more than the rated voltage stated on the

nameplate. If the power supply lead has to be replaced, this operation must only be carried out by an

authorised Smeg technical service engineer.

The socket must be accessible after the appliance has been placed.

4.4 Shelves

each refrigerator comes complete with several shelves which can be set at different heights by placing

them on the runners provided. Each shelf has a safety fitting to prevent it from being pulled completely

out or accidentally removed. To remove it from the appliance, lift it at the back and extract it. Then

change the position of the shelf or shelves as you require. For easy removal of all internal accessories,

the door has to be opened completely.

4.5 Bottle shelf

Like ordinary shelves, the bottle shelf can also be set at different heights.

It can be fitted into the refrigerator compartment in two different positions:

horizontally or with the front part raised so that the bottles can be placed on

a slant. To remove the bottle shelf, lift it at the back and pull it outward.

Warning: if you wish to place bottles of above-average length on the

bottle shelf, it must be set at a height which will not prevent the door

from being closed properly.

4.6 Refrigerator compartment defrosting water drain

The rear of the refrigerator compartment, underneath the refrigerating plate, has a channel and a hole

for collecting the defrosting water. To ensure the refrigerator can function properly, take care never to

block this hole. It is best to check and clean it fairly regularly using a piece of stiff wire.

4.7 Fruit and vegetable box

this container (there are 2 in the model FAB 32) is at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, which is

fitted with a glass shelf to cover fresh foods that require constant humidity for optimum storage.

4.8 Door shelves and containers

The inside of the door is fitted with special shelves and boxes to take eggs, butter, dairy products, tubes,

preserves and other small packages. The bottom of the door has a shelf to take vertical bottles. To stop

bottles from falling when the door is opened and closed, they must be secured with the special retainer

rod supplied.

Instructions for the User

All door shelves and boxes can be removed for cleaning. To remove them from the door, tap them

upward with your fist in the first on one side of the insertion zone and then on the other. Do not place

excessively heavy bottles on the bottle shelf, and place bottles on the shelf gently when loading them

(Fig.1). When removing bottles, do not pull them in a diagonal direction as this may over-strain the

retainer rod (Fig.2).

Fig. 1) Fig. 2)

4.9 Cheese box

A special cheese box with lid is supplied (depending on model). This box can be placed on any shelf as

required.

4.10 Inside lighting

When the refrigerator door is opened, the light comes on; it remains on until the door is completely

closed again. The light comes on even if the refrigerator thermostat is set on "0" (stop), meaning that the

refrigerator is switched off.

4.11 Fan (on some models only)

The fan helps keep the temperature well distributed and reduces condensate on the shelves. It does not

work when the refrigerator door is open. Turning on the fan is recommended when the ambient

temperature and relative humidity are high.

To turn on the fan, press the symbol . To stop it, just set the switch on the symbol 0

Electric energy consumption rises when the fan is operating

Instructions for the user

5. ARRANGING FOODS INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR

COMPARTMENT

6. SETTING AND SELECTING THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE

Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This

precaution will:

- conserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness;

- prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes;

- prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high because of the normal breathing

of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating conditions (rise in ambient

temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) this might cause condensation to form

on the shelves.

Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool to room

temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.

Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-alcohol drinks firmly sealed and

vertical.

The knob in the top right-hand corner of the refrigerator is used to set the

operating temperature both in the refrigerator and in the freezer (in case of the

mod. FAB32 it controls the operating temperature in the refrigerator section only).

When the knob is turned to 0 ("stop"), the appliance is switched off.

The operating settings are from 1 to 7.

There is no direct correspondence between the setting chosen and the

temperature in the two sections of the appliance. Increasing the setting number

reduces the temperature inside the appliance. Only use the highest settings (6-7) if

absolutely necessary: with these settings, the temperatures inside the refrigerator compartment may be

close to 0°C and electricity consumption will be higher. In normal operating conditions, a medium-low

setting (2-3) is recommended. This will provide effective storage of the fresh foods in the refrigerator

compartment and of the frozen foods in the freezer compartment.

On models fitted with cooling fan, a slightly higher temperature should be set when the fan is on, since

the air currents reduce the temperature inside the refrigerator.

Important

Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the

doors of the two separate compartments are opened may affect the refrigerator's operating

temperatures.

Instructions for the User

7. SETTING AND SELECTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

OPERATING TEMPERATURE

7.1 Refrigerator without intensive cooling switch

24 hours before freezing a large amount of fresh foods turn the thermostat to a setting between 5 and 7.

After the 24 hours have passed, insert the fresh foods and turn the thermostat knob to the setting of your

choice (see "Setting the Temperature").

Important

Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the

door is opened affect the refrigerator's operating temperatures.

7.2 Refrigerator with intensive cooling switch

24 hours before freezing a large amount of fresh foods, turn on the switch

on the thermostat regulator box. The function is enabled by pressing the

switch so that the coloured "I" sign is visible. The switch is off when the "O"

sign is visible. After turning on the intensive cooling function, turn the

thermostat to a setting between 5 and 7. After the 24 hours have passed,

insert the fresh foods, turn off the switch and turn the thermostat knob to the

setting of your choice. This procedure should be used the first time the

refrigerator is turned on, and whenever it is turned on after a period out of

use, to lower the temperature in the freezer compartment more quickly. (See "Setting the Temperature”)

7.3 Refrigerator with intensive freezing switch and cooling system.

24 hours before freezing a large amount of fresh foods, turn on the switch

on the thermostat regulator box. The function is enabled by putting the

switch in the “”, position, and is turned off by putting it back on the symbol

“0”. After turning on the intensive cooling function, turn the thermostat to a

setting between 5 and 7. After the 24 hours have passed, insert the fresh

foods, turn off the switch and turn the thermostat knob to the setting of your

choice. This procedure should be used the first time the refrigerator is

turned on, and whenever it is turned on after a period out of use, to lower

the temperature in the freezer compartment more quickly. (See "Setting the Temperature”).

Cooling fan and intensive freezing cannot operate at the same time.

7.4 Refrigerator with rapid freezing function FAB32

The top of the appliance carries two switches and a selector knob for setting the freezing temperature.

7.4.1 Control panel

4 5

1 Freezer on/off switch;

2 Red warning light: indicates that the temperature inside the freezer is higher than the temperature

set. Goes out when the set temperature is reached;

3 Rapid freezing switch;

4 Temperature regulator;

5 Freezer compartment temperature external thermometer.

To turn on the freezer press the switch 1. If the green light is on, the freezer is working. Then set the

thermostat using the regulator provided (4). To reduce the temperature in the freezer compartment,

adjust the setting from " min" to "max.". It is best to keep the regulator on a middle setting in normal

operating conditions and only turn it to max for rapid freezing of the foods loaded. Settings close to the

"min." level are recommended if there is only a small amount of food in the freezer compartment.

Important

Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the

door is opened affect the refrigerator's operating temperatures.

Instructions for the user

7.4.2 Rapid freezing

To activate this function press switch 3 described in section “7. Setting and selecting the freezer

compartment operating temperature”.

If the orange light is on, the function has been activated. When this function is set the refrigeration

system operates continuously and allows rapid freezing of large amounts of fresh foods. Small amounts

of fresh foods (up to about 2 kg) can be frozen even without activating the rapid freezing function.

To avoid wasting electricity, do not keep this function activated unless really necessary. The rapid

freezing switch should be turned on the first time the freezer is turned on, and whenever it is turned on

after a period out of use, to lower the temperature in the relative compartment more quickly. Do not place

fresh or frozen foods inside until the red light (2) described in section “7. Setting and selecting the freezer

compartment operating temperature”, which indicates that the set temperature has not been reached

completely, has gone out.

External thermometer

Indicates the approximate temperature in the freezer compartment. It takes the thermometer a few hours

to respond to changes in the thermostat knob setting because of the thermal inertia of the sensor.

Important

The cooling temperature should be set so that the reading on the thermometer is -18°C or below.

This is the best range for the proper storage of frozen and deep frozen foods.

Instructions for the user

To prevent deterioration of frozen foods, do not exceed the permitted storage date, which

depends on the type of food.

8.2 Thawing frozen foods

Partially thawed foods should be eaten as soon as possible. Low temperatures preserve foods but they

do not destroy the micro-organisms which are activated after thawing, which may cause the stored foods

to deteriorate. If thawed foods smell and look normal, they can be cooked and if required re-frozen once

they have cooled.

Depending on their type and intended use, frozen foods can be thawed correctly at room temperature, in

the refrigerator, in an electric oven (conventional or fan), or in a microwave oven using the relevant

function.

8.3 Making ice-cubes

Fill the tray provided 2/3 full of water or any other liquid you wish to freeze. Place it in the freezer

compartment, making sure that its bottom is dry so that it will not stick to the shelf of the compartment.

To detach the ice-cubes, twist the tray slightly or place it under running water for a few seconds.
