Precautions
The fridge-freezer must be attached to the wall with an angle plate (A) on
the top of the cabinet or prevent the appliance of falling over in another
manner. If the angle plate does not reach the wall use a suitable connecting
piece for it. The wall mounting screw and plug Ø 6 mm (B) are taped to the
inside of the device.
Before cleaning, turn off the appliance from the power switch and unplug it
from the socket.
Leave the doors open when the appliance is not in use.
Alcoholic substances and conserves containing alcohol e.g. gherkins, pickled
beetroot and lingonberry puree must be stored upright in a tightly sealed
container.
Do not store opened sparkling wine bottles in the door locker, because of
the movement of opening the door can loosen the bottle cork with a lot of
pressure and it can cause damage with its trajectory.
Do not store glass bottles with freezing liquids in the freezer. The bottle can
break. Do not store explosive substances in the refrigerator freezer.
Warning!
It is not allowed to install the appliance in a space that is too small because of possible leakage of
refrigerant forming an explosive mixture of gas. The room size should be at
least 8 m².
The appliance contains a small amount of environmentally friendly but flammable
refrigerant R600, which does not damage the ozone layer or cause greenhouse
effect. Check the refrigerant piping for damages in transit or during installation.
Leaking refrigerant can injure eyes or ignite.
When noticing a refrigerant leakage:
• do not let open fire into the room
• turn off power to the appliance from the main switch
• unplug the appliance from the socket
• air the room for several minutes
• contact the Festivo service center
Note!
Keep the air circulation vents free of obstacles both up and down.
Do not use mechanical tools to speed up melting the ice or other than recommended methods by the
manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant piping.
Do not use any electrical equipment inside the refrigerator freezer unless it is recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerator freezer must be fastened to a wall following instructions on page 4.

nameplate is situated on the right inner wall of the refrigerator.
Place the appliance in a dry and well ventilated room with a size of at least 8 m².
Do not place the appliance in the immediate proximity of a radiator, stove, or an other heat source.
Proper functioning of the refrigerator engine requires a good air circulation.The air circulation vent at the front of
the appliance should not be covered.
Note!
Manufacturer’s warranty does not cover damages that are caused by faulty installation. Check that
the cooling air circulation meets at least the instruction requirement.
The placement floor must be even, horizontal, and at the same level with the finished floor.
Frost, that is formed in the refrigerator evaporator, will be defrosted automatically by the appliance. Melt water is
lead to an evaporation dish in the compressor space. Water evaporates from the evaporation vessel automatically.
In the case of a malfunction of the unit some water can be spilled onto the floor.
Note!
Always place a safety container under the unit.
If the refrigeration assembly includes several appliance modules, install a module wide safety container under
each unit. The picture shows an example of a 120 CFM refrigerator freezer safety container assembly. The safety
container is available as additional equipment.
Alternatively, the location of the refrigerator freezer can be made watertight in other ways. A watertight base
will be raised up onto the wall so that the possible leakage water cannot enter the structure via the floor or wall
joints.

should be able to pull it out for cleaning and maintenance.
INSTALLATION DISTANCES FROM OTHER DEVICES AND SURFACES
Note!
For more detailed installation dimensions and methods, see a separate installation manual that can be
downloaded address www.festivo.fi the product information of the device in question.
The refrigerator freezer can be placed touching the surfaces on the back and sides. In case the Festivo appliance’s
side surface is next to another cooling unit or outer wall, a ventilation gap of 10 mm width should be left in
between the surfaces.
If the appliance is installed next to a wall it should be off the wall with at least 35 mm gap, so that the door
opens sufficiently and the drawers can slide freely out from inside the cabinet.
When opening, the door corner crosses the outside line of the device. If the front surface of the door of the
appliance is on the same level as the outer surface of the cabinet, leave a minimum gap of 5 mm between the
hinge side of the appliance and the cabinet.
If a full deep upper cabinet is installed above the appliance, at least 40 mm of empty air circulation shall be left
between the appliance and the upper cabinet (1). If the top cabinet is immediately above the appliance, at least
80 mm of empty space shall be left behind and above the cabinet (2). There must be at least 80 mm of empty
space between the freestanding device and the ceiling of the room (3).

230 V 50 Hz socket. The socket fuse size is 10 A.
Only a electrician is allowed to make changes to the plugs change the power cord.
A suitable socket is a socket on the back surface at a height of 2060 mm measured from the floor surface until
the bottom edge of the socket. The socket can be in the ceiling at similar height and at a maximum of 500 mm
from the back wall.
The socket must be positioned in such a way that it is possible to pull the appliance’s plug from the socket
without having to move it.
The extra power cord cannot be pushed behind the furniture into the condeser space but it has to be left on top
of the refrigerator freezer.
Due to danger of overheating the appliance should not be connected to the power grid by means of a branch
outlet or an extension cord.

Please check that the wheel locking screws
C of are open.
Push the appliance to its place. Install it
to the same level as the rest of the floor
surface.
Straighten the appliance with the adjusting
screws A (2 pcs) and tighten the locking
screws C. The work requires a 10 mm
spanner.
If the appliance tilts towards the back
even if the adjusting screws A have been
completely loosened it’s necessary to place
sheet material under the back wheels to
heighten the back edge.

FITTING THE SHELVES
As a standard there is 3 glass shelves and 1 half glass shelf. The
wire shelves are to be fitted so that the raised edge is towards
the back. The bottle racks are to be fitted so that they hang down
under the shelf.
DOOR ADJUSTMENT
During the initial installation of a new device, there is usually
no need to adjust the doors, because the doors are adjusted at
the factory. If the doors need to be adjusted when connecting
the devices, it may be due to the unevenness of the floor. Small
unevenness in the floor can be corrected with the adjustment
screws on the base of the device.
Check the position of the door in relation to the frame. If the door
is not straight, it can be adjusted with hinges.
Horizontal adjustment, photo 1
Loosen the screws of the upper hinge. Turn the hinge in a sideways
direction (arrows C) until the upper edges of the doors are at the
same level, and tighten the screws.
Dimension A (photo 3) must be same both up and down. If it is not,
move the upper hinge in B arrows direction.
Lower hinge, photo 2
Lower hinge can be adjusted horizontally.
Check the seals of the doors. If it is too compressed, move the
upper hinge outwards.
If the seal has become pressed down, warm it CAREFULLY with a
hot-air blower (hair dryer) and mould it with the fingers to make it
higher.

Operation principle of the appliance
The cooling system, consisting of a compressor (K), a condenser (L) and an evaporator
(H), operate as a closed circuit, where the compressor circulates the refrigerant.
In the evaporator the refrigerant vaporizes and absorbs heat, cooling the refrigerator
and the freezer.
The heat, bound to the refrigerant, is transferred into the surrounding air via the
condenser.
Any ice formed in the evaporator melts automatically and melt water will be lead into
an evaporation dish in the compressor space, where it will evaporate automatically.

Normal sounds of the appliance
The appliance acquires its coldness from the compressor operated cooling system.The system makes sounds
of varying levels and they can increase especially during the defrosting phase. The volume of the noise is also
affected i.e. by the materials in the environment where it is placed (e.g. stone floors), the manner of positioning
the appliance, the way it is used and its age.
Resonance noise may be produced if the appliance is not completely straight, or if parts of the pipe system are
touching one another. The pipes can be bent apart carefully by hand.
It may be possible to hear noises generated by the thermal expansion of metal parts of different sizes, following
the start or stopping of the operation of the unit.
COOLING SYSTEM
When the refrigerant flows through the pipelines one may hear hissing or bubbling noises. During the defrosting
phase a cracking sound can be heard.
THERMOSTAT
The compressor is started and stopped by a thermostat. When the thermostat switches on, it makes a low
cracking sound.The compressor is required to run more frequently if the doors are opened more often.
COMPRESSOR
When the refrigerant is being pumped, a droning or “snoring” noise is heard from the compressor motor and the
pump.
INDOOR FAN (FREEZER)
The fan of the device keeps a steady low hum.

Storing goods
COLD STORAGE
The factory setting of the refrigerator inside temperature
has been set to +5 °C. The temperature may vary by
several degrees from the set value in different parts of the
refrigerator.The relative air humidity in the cabinet is about
70-90%.
Note!
In damp weather, water may condense on the surface
of the drip-water trough or on the inside wall. This
may be remedied if the cabinet temperature is
adjusted to be a few degrees colder.
Juices and preserves can also be stored in the cooling
cabinet for long periods of time. Foodstuffs for day-to-day
use will normally keep for a few days. KAPPA root vegetable
container made from ash wood is meant primarily for
storing root vegetables.
FRESH STORAGE IN NOLLA DRAWER (CFO-MODEL)
The temperature of the NOLLA drawer continually stays
close to 0 ºC. The low temperature ensures that fresh
foodstuffs will keep well. These foods are fresh meat, fish
and leftovers. Foodstuffs that are sensitive to cold are not
suitable for keeping in the fresh storage compartment.These include vegetables and fruit that contain a lot of
water, e.g. potatoes, cucumber, marrow, pumpkin, bananas and tomatoes.
Note!
NOLLA drawer is meant for storing already cooled foods, not for cooling them down.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
The 75 CFF model has two two automatic defrost freezer drawers
and the 75 CFO model has an automatic defrost freezer drawer and a
NOLLA drawer.
The quality of frozen foods deteriorates if the maximum storage period
is exceeded. The storage period depends on the type of food.

PLACING FOOD INTO THE REFRIGERATOR FREEZER
Let hot foods and drinks cool down before placing them
into the refrigerator
Note!
Hot products cannot be frozen but they need to be
pre-cooled in the refrigerator before freezing.
Package or cover the foods if possible. When packaged the
food taste, humidity and freshness will keep the best and
other foods will not take on other tastes.
Vegetables, fruit and salads can be stored in the vegetable
drawer without packaging.
Note!
Do not push foods against the back wall but leave
a gap for air circulation between the back and side
walls.
Food is best to place according to the temperature
distribution in the refrigerator. In that way you ensure the
best possible storage temperature for foods.
REFRIGERATOR:
Temperature can be adjusted to +2 ... +7°C. The
temperature set in the refrigerator thermostat is the
average temperature of the cabinet. The refrigerator’s
natural air circulation enables storage of different products
in temperatures best suited for each.The products
requiring coldest temperatures should be kept in the upper
part of the refrigerator and products to be kept in cool temperatures in the lower part of the refrigerator. The
optional wooden KAPPA root vegetable box also fits well on the shelves of the refrigerator.
DOOR COMPARTMENTS:
The door compartments are best suited for keeping day-today items like soft drinks, milk, milk products, and
various condiments. Storage of heavy stuffs in door compartments stress hinges.
KYLMÄ DRAWER (TRANSPARENT DRAWER):
The KYLMÄ drawer, which is located on the side of the refrigerator, is standard equipment. The KYLMÄ drawer
gives the refrigerator more storage space, which is separate from the rest of the refrigerator. The drawer is perfect
for storing, for example, beverage cans, drinks, fruit or various jars. The KYLMÄ drawer has the same temperature
as the refrigerator.
FREEZER DRAWER:
Freezer drawer temperature can be adjusted between -16 ... -24°C.

FREEZING
Note!
Before the freezing process is started, the foods already in the freezer are cooled down further to
prevent them warming up too much, due to the effect of the products being frozen.
The freezer may be set to operate in freezing mode for six hours. The function is used when over 2kg of goods are
frozen. Switch the freezer to positive drive six hours before starting the freezing.
Activating the function:
Always press the arrow button on the freezer for at least three seconds until freezer indicator light appears
.
If the quantity to be frozen is more than 2 kg, then allow the engine to run for one extra 6-hour freezing period
before freezing. After the 6-hour freezing cycle, the electronic thermostat automatically returns to the storage
temperature.
Freezing goods temporarily rises the temperature inside the freezer, which may trigger the temperature alarm.
In the display appear a text ‘HA’ and alarm indicator light . This is not a fault in the appliance and it will
disappear as the freezing continues.
Leave a gap for air circulation between the products that are to be frozen; in this way, the products will freeze
more efficiently.
Freezing time depends on the amount of goods that are to be frozen and other use of the freezer. In practice, the
freezing time is approx. 0.5 – 1 day.
