[. . . ] In case the floor is not perfectly level, use the two adjustable feet on the front part of the fridge (pict. To ensure major stability, easier movement and a correct positioning of the product, two additional wheels (pict. 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. 6 Instructions for the User 4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 4. 1 FAB 28 Refrigerator (A): compartment for storing fresh foods Freezer compartment (B): compartment for storing frozen foods and for freezing fresh foods. To open the door, pull the handle towards you. 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. 10 Instructions for the User 7. SETTING AND SELECTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE 7. 1 Refrigerator without intensive cooling switch (only on some models) 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 (only on some models) 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. [. . . ] When the compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes. Another normal refrigerator operating noise is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is perfectly normal and does not mean that the appliance is malfunctioning. If it is over-loud, there may be other causes. [. . . ]
