Precautions
The appliance must be attached to the wall (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.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT: REFRIGERATOR, FREEZER, AND WINE STORAGE APPLIANCE 45 VLM
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.
Lateral adjustment, picture 1
Loosen top hinge screws. Turn the hinge sideways (arrows
C) until the door is straight and tighten the screws.
The measurement A (picture 3) has to be the same on the
top and bottom of the door. If it is not the same, more the
upper hinge. Loosen fastening screws and move the upper
hinge (arrows B) so that the measurement A is the same
both up and down. Tighten the screws.
Bottom hinge, picture 2
Bottom honge can only be adjusted sideways.
Please check how well the seal fits to the frame. If the
seal is too compressed on the hinge side, move the hinge
outward.
If the hinge is compressed and it does not touch the casing,
heat it CAREFULLY with a hairdryer and make the seal
higher by molding it by hand.
If the hinges are in the middle of the appliance the
protective case on the top has to be unmounted first so that
the top hinge can be adjusted.

Operation principle of the appliance
The cooling system, consisting of
a compressor, a condenser and an
evaporator, 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.
Switches and thermostats: refrigerator and freezer
The refrigerator CM and freezer FM have one temperature controller. Freezer cabinet CFM has two temperature
controllers; one for the refrigerator and the other for the freezer.

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.
During the defrost cycle of the freezer, the sound of the refrigeration equipment is louder than normal and the
defrost valve clicks at the beginning and end of the defrost cycle.
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 AND WINE CABINET)
The fan of the device keeps a steady low hum.
FREEZER DEFROST VALVE
When connected, the defrost valve makes a sharp click.
Automatic defrosting
Both the refrigeration and the freezer have an automatic defrosting function, which can be switched on as
required.
Refrigerator:
During defrosting the temperature of the refrigerator may temporarily rise by a couple of degrees. The
temperature always returns to the set value when defrosting is complete.
Freezer:
In the freezer the temperature may temporarily rise during energy-efficient defrosting.

20
EN
Defrosting can be activated manually if the temperature has begun to rise.
Press the manual defrost button for a couple of seconds to activate defrosting. During defrosting the
defrost indicator is shown and the display shows
DEF. Defrosting takes a couple of minutes. The temperature always returns to the set value when defrosting is
complete.
Storing goods
COLD STORAGE (CM AND CFM MODELS)
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. Vegetables
keep best in the vegetable drawer.
FRESH STORAGE IN NOLLA DRAWER (FM AND CFM MODELS)
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.
