5 General Description
The FG10I DGT, FG10I DGT CHILL&CW refrigerator referred to in this manual is part of the FG
range of refrigerators, expressly designed to be coupled with coffee machines for the purpose of
guaranteeing the correct storage of milk or similar liquids for human consumption, which need to
be maintained at a controlled temperature.
The FG10I DGT CHILL&CW model also has a cup warmer module, for the hot maintaining of the
cups and/or glasses.
6 Description of Operation
The refrigerator operates using a refrigerant vapour compression cycle that transfers heat from the
inside to the outside, making it possible to keep the liquid for human consumption stored inside it
at a constant, pre-set temperature.
The refrigerant evaporates by removing the heat from the air via the cold inside walls of the
refrigerator (in contact with the evaporator through which it flows) before entering the compressor.
Here the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant are increased and it is then passed through
an air-cooled condenser, where it is condensed. Lastly, the refrigerant fluid returns inside the
evaporator via capillary and the cycle is repeated.
The internal temperature can be modified using the electronic thermostat.
7 Installation and Use
7.1 Checking the packaging
As soon as the package arrives, inspect it, making sure that it is not upturned and that it has
suffered no damage during transport. Remove the packaging and inspect the unit for damage of
any kind.
If there is any doubt as to the integrity of the system parts, do not use the refrigerator.
You must inform your dealer of any damage and/or anomalies not later than 24 hours from the
date of purchase.
EN

21
7.2 Positioning
The refrigerator has the overall dimensions in millimetres (in inches) shown in the figure below.
Place the refrigerator on a horizontal surface and use the adjustable feet to level it, if needed.
When choosing the position of the refrigerator, remember that a gap of at least 50 mm (2 in.) is
required between the back panel of the refrigerator and any wall in order to allow the warm air
from condensation to escape.
As far as any space requirements at the sides of the refrigerator are concerned, there are no
specific instructions.
EN

22
7.3 Electrical connection
The FG10I DGT, FG10I DGT CHILL&CW refrigerator is equipped with a IEC connection socket and a
main power switch on the back panel.
The power cord with Schuko plug (CEE / ) is supplied with the refrigerator.
Before connecting the refrigerator to the main electrical line, make sure that the supply has the
same characteristics (voltage, number of phases, network frequency and amperage) as those
stated on the product label.
Grounding the appliance is obligatory and therefore you must ensure that the electrical system to
which the refrigerator will be connected is grounded and that the grounding system is in perfect
working order.
The manufacturer declines all liability for any damage suffered by people or property as a result of
failure to abide by the above instructions.
To connect the refrigerator to the main electrical line, insert the plug into a socket without using, if
possible, adaptors, multiple sockets and/or extension cords. Should the use of any of these
accessories be unavoidable, only use items that comply with current safety standards and take
care never to exceed their capacity (in current).

7. Use
The FG10I DGT, FG10I DGT CHILL&CW refrigerator has a hole on each side for ducting the pipe to
pick up milk from the container placed inside the refrigerator.
NOTE: apply the dedicate transparent cap on the not used hole.
The refrigerator must be used only with the provided tank, in any case with closed milk containers.
The refrigerator is provided of a digital thermostat placed on the frontal panel.
Refrigerator switch on
When the refrigerator is switched on, but in standby mode, the thermostat’s display shows
alternatively “OFF” and the inside temperature value.
To turn on the refrigerator, hold the button pushed for at least 3 seconds. You will see “ON” on
the display and immediately after the inside temperature value.
NOTE: every time the refrigerator turn ON, also the cup warmer shelf turn ON.
Once turned on, the fridge will start working, but it will take some time (also depending on external
conditions) to reach the required internal temperature.
We recommended to put milk inside the refrigerator only when the internal temperature has
stabilized to the required value.
Te perature setting
To set the desired temperature, push the button until you see the current set point value
flashing, then adjust the value using the button (to increase) and (to decrease); to store
the new value press again the button .
NOTE: To ensure that the milk is always maintained at temperature allowed by the HACCP, the
setpoint can be varied only within a specific values range.
NOTE: The refrigerator can operate at inferior temperatures than the level obtained, by setting the
thermostat to lower setpoint values. However, since these temperatures are out of the
envisaged range for storing milk or similar liquids for human consumption, the manufacturer
advises against using the refrigerator in this way, stressing again that the appliance is
designed and made to store milk or similar liquids for human consumption at a controlled
temperature and not to chill such products from room temperature.

Cup War er functioning (only onFG10IDGT Chill&CW model)
To turn ON/OFF the cup warmer module, hold the button pushed for at least 1 second.
When the cup warmer module is turned on, “AUX” text is displayed on the thermostat.
The shelf will begin heating, and it will reach its steady-state temperature after 10 minutes.
Then, you can place mugs and/or cups, paying attention to the high temperature of the shelf.
Level sensor functioning (where fitted)
The level sensor detects the presence of milk in the container and generates an alarm when the
level falls below about 0.5 liters of milk.
The alarm is displayed on the digital thermostat by a flashing "IA" sign and also by a sound signal.
NOTE: This refrigerator is designed to work with a full milk container placed inside the refrigerator.
In this way, if the refrigerator is working without the container or with a small amount of milk, the
alarm will activate.
Refrigerator switch off
To switch off the refrigerator hold the button pushed for at least 3 seconds.
EN

25
7.5 Defrosting
If the FG10I DGT, FG10I DGT CHILL&CW refrigerator is left to operate for very long periods of
time, it is possible for ice to form on its inside walls.
If the ice becomes considerably thick, it is advisable to defrost the refrigerator in order to continue
to guarantee good appliance efficiency and avoid higher electricity consumption.
To defrost the appliance, switch it off, holding the button of the thermostat for at least 3
seconds; we recommend to leave the refrigerator door open to speed up this operation.
Never use tools or any type of utensils to remove ice, this could damage the evaporator, which is
in contact with the inside walls of the refrigerator. The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for
damage to the appliance caused by failure to abide by this recommendation.
NOTE: During defrosting operation, do not leave the milk container inside the refrigerator.
At the end of the defrosting operation, after cleaning and thoroughly drying the inside walls of the
refrigerator, switch it on holding button of the thermostat for at least 3 seconds.
7.6 Cleaning and maintenance
Under the current regulations regarding health and safety, the operator is responsible for the
hygiene of food contact materials and must maintain and clean the unit, preventing the bacteria
formation.
Before performing any cleaning and / or maintenance operation, disconnect the electrical supply to
the refrigerator.
It’s good practice use sanitizing products for cleaning surfaces not directly in contact with food. The
outside of the refrigerator (plastic coated steel) can be washed firstwith warm water and then
rinsed in cold water and dried with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
To clean the inside of the refrigerator, after removing any containers of milk or similar liquids for
human consumption, wipe with warm water and if necessary, a little vinegar to remove any grease.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Never use abrasive products, detergents or soap.
It is also advisable to make sure that the air-cooled condenser of the refrigerating unit at the back
of the appliance is clean. If it is particularly clogged with dust, this should be removed using a
vacuum cleaner.
In case of a prolonged period of disuse, we advise you to disconnect the refrigerator from the
power supply, empty it completely, clean it and leave the door slightly open to prevent the
formation of mold and/or unpleasant odours.
