7.1 Activation and use of the Ice Maker
Notes
> If the ice is not used frequently is advisable
to empty the ice bin once every 8-10 days.
It is normal that some ice cubes stick to one
another. If the ice is not frequently used, the
older cubes can become opaque, and will
have a strange flavour and become smaller.
> The Icemaker automatically deactivates if
the Vacation function is activated.
When the Icemaker is started for the first
time, it is recommended to dispose of the first
full bin of ice.
> If the equipment has been switched o for
a month or more, it is recommended to per-
form a water cleaning cycle.
> The ice maker will only produce ice with the
TriMode compartment set to Freezer Mode.
The ice maker will continue to operate even
when the ice bin is not in position
To activate the Ice Maker after installation of the ap-
pliance, press the Icemaker button .
Please note that 12 to 24 hours are necessary before
ice production may begin.
The production is of 10 cubes per cycle in approx-
imately 10 cycles in 24 hours.
The yield depends on the temperature set in the
freezer, the room temperature and the frequency of
door opening.
If the appliance is operating without being connected
to the water system, make sure that the Icemaker is
deactivated by pressing the button .
The Ice Maker produces ice until the ice tray is full
and will automatically stop once the maximum level
is reached.
With the SuperIce function, it is possible to increase
the quantity of ice produced a 24 hours, while the Set
Cube Size function permits selection of the size of
the produced ice cubes.
Do the ice cubes have an unusual odour?
Ice is a porous material which can absorb odours
from the environment. Ice cubes which have been in
the ice cube container for a long time may absorb
odours, stick together and slowly become smaller.
We recommend that old ice cubes not be used.
Other means of preventing odors:

> The ice cube container should be cleaned occa-
sionally with warm water. Make sure that you switch
o the ice maker before clearing the container. Rinse
out and wipe dry.
> Check the contents of the freezer for spoiled or out-
of-date food. All odorous foods should be wrapped
thoroughly or stored in airtight containers to prevent
the build-up of odors.
> The water filter may have to be replaced in some
models.
> In some cases the quality of the water connection
in the house should be checked.
Operating noises
Quite normal noises
> Grumbling: refrigerating unit is running. Fan in the
recirculating air system is running.
> Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises: refrigerant
is flowing through the tubes.
> Clicking: motor is switching on or o. Solenoid
valve on the water connection is opening/closing.
> Rumbling: ice cubes are falling into the ice cube
container.
> Note:
the appliance is powered by two independent
compressors. It is therefore normal to always
have one of two compressors in operation.
Warning
Do not place any bottles or food for rapid
cooling in the ice cube container. The ice
maker may become blocked and be dam-
aged.
7.2 Water Filter (not 0F model
The Water Filter makes available high-quality wa-
ter for the production of ice cubes. It provides up
to 3000 liters of water for a maximum time of 12
months.
When the filter is nearly expired the message “Re-
place Filter” will appear on the display.
Filter Replacement
The filter is located inside the refrigerator compart-
ment, above the top glass panel. Prior to changing
the filter, switch o the Ice Maker by pressing the
IceMaker button.
Open the top glass panel and carefully rotate the
filter cartridge for a quarter rotation in a counter
clockwise direction until it detaches from its hous-
ing. It is normal for a small quantity of water to
come out. Remove the cap of the new cartridge and
insert it into the housing by gently rotating it for
a quarter rotation in a clockwise direction until it
locks into place.
Then enter the Fhiaba Access Menu and set “Man-
ual Clean” function. At the end of the cleaning cycle
remove the water from the ice tray and wipe it dry.
7.3 Water filter for freezer column
ice maker
Freezer columns equipped with automatic ice-mak-
ers include an externally mounted water filter kit.
The water filter manifold and waterline connections
must be installed in conjunction with the fridge as
the waterline connecting the back of the appliance
to the filter kit must be in place before installing the
unit.
The filter kit should be installed in an accessible lo-
cation (such as an adjacent cabinet) to allow for the
water filter cartridge to be changed annually.
If you choose not to use the water filter (such as
connecting the appliance to an already filtered wa-
ter source) then it is suggested to also set the “By-
pass filter” function to ‘ON’ to avoid receiving re-
minders to change the filter (that you are not using).
For more details and how to access this function
setting, follow instructions on page 17 of the in-
cluded instruction manual: “How to activate filter
Bypass”.
Reset water filter in the
settings menu or by pres-
sing the Enter button
for 5 seconds.

8. LIGHTING 9. FOOD PRESERVATION
8.1 Lighting
To provide optimum interior lighting, LED strips il-
luminate the refrigerator compartment from the top
and sets of LED lights directly illuminate dierent ar-
eas of the refrigerator compartment, of the Crisper-
Fresco drawers and the freezer drawer.
In case of malfunction and/or wearing out of the
lighting system, the repair should be carried out by a
qualified Fhiaba Service technician.
9.1 General directions
Your Fhiaba is designed to ensure precise, constant
temperatures and appropriate humidity levels in all
compartments.
In addition, the double refrigeration ensures that fro-
zen foods and ice do not absorb the odor of fresh
foods and that the humidity in the refrigerator does
not freeze and build up frost.
Nevertheless, to properly preserve all of your foods,
it is not enough to have an excellent refrigerator. It
is also necessary to know the rules for correct food
preservation.
Do bear in mind that all foods will inevitably change
their characteristics over the passage of time. This
change begins long before the food is consumed,
since foods contain micro organisms which multi-
ply and can cause deterioration. This process occurs
more rapidly due to improper handling, preservation
temperatures and humidity levels.
It is therefore recommended to follow the directions
presented below which will permit using your refrig-
erator/freezer in the most eective and safe man-
ner to keep your foods in the best way for as long as
possible.
Bear in mind that the Crisper-Fresco area is the area
for preserving the most delicate fresh foods, since it
ensures constant average temperature near freez-
ing.
Periodically check that all foods are in a perfect
state of preservation. It is usually quite clear when
a food item is deteriorated, due to mold, unpleasant
odor and unpleasant aspect. Nevertheless, there are
cases in which these conditions are not so evident. If
you believe that a food item was kept for an exces-
sive period of time and may be deteriorated, do not
consume this item or even taste it, even if it seems to
still be healthy, since the bacteria that cause deterio-
ration of food can also cause poisoning and illness.
When in doubt, throw the food away.
