ABBINATO 2013 - Maintenance and cleaning

This article covers maintenance and cleaning of the ABBINATO 2013 by Boretti.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. Cleaning the Inside To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls. Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry. Use of any cleaning solution other than that which is recommended, especially those that contain petroleum distillates, can crack or damage the interior of the refrigerator. Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter. Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher. The chill/thaw tray is dishwasher safe. Behind the Refrigerator Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces. Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator. When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line. Preparing for Vacation If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding. Preparing to Move Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. When using a hand truck to move the refrigerator, do not rest the front or back of the refrigerator against the hand truck. This could damage the refrigerator. Handle only from the sides of the refrigerator. Be sure the refrigerator stays in upright position during moving. Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Handle only from the sides of the refrigerator. Be sure the refrigerator stays in upright position during moving. Replacing the light bulbs. Setting the controls to 0 (off) does not remove power to the light circuit. Refrigerator Compartment—Upper Light Unplug the refrigerator. The bulbs are located at the top of the compartment, inside the light shield. On some models, a screw at the front of the light shield will have to be removed. On other models, the screw is located in the pocket located at the back of the light shield. To remove the light shield, on some models, press in on the tabs on the sides of the shield and slide forward and out. On other models, just slide the shield forward and out. After replacing the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same or lower wattage, replace the light shield and screws (on some models). When replacing the light shield, make sure that the tabs at the back of the shield fit into the slots at the back of the light shield housing. Plug the refrigerator back in. Tabs Pocket OR Your light shield will look like one of the following: Refrigerator Compartment—Lower Light This light is located above the top drawer. Unplug the refrigerator. Remove the convertible meat drawer control knob by pulling straight out. Lift the light shield up and pull it out. After replacing the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same or lower wattage, replace the shield and the knob. Plug the refrigerator back in. Freezer Compartment Unplug the refrigerator. Remove the shelf just above the light shield. (The shelf will be easier to remove if it is emptied first.) On some models, a screw at the top of the light shield will need to be removed. To remove the light shield, press in on the sides, and lift up and out. Replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same or lower wattage, and reinstall the light shield. When reinstalling the light shield, make sure the top tabs snap securely into place. Replace the screw (on some models). Reinstall the shelf and plug the refrigerator back in. Dispenser Unplug the refrigerator. The bulb is located on the dispenser under the control panel. Remove the light bulb by turning it counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with a bulb of the same size and wattage. Plug the refrigerator back in. Before you call for service… Troubleshooting Tips Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service. Problem Refrigerator does not operate Vibration or rattling (slight vibration is normal) Motor operates for long periods or cycles on and off frequently. (Modern refrigerators with more storage space and a larger freezer require more operating time. They start and stop often to maintain even temperatures.) Refrigerator or freezer compartment too warm Frost or ice crystals on frozen food (frost within package is normal) Divider between refrigerator and freezer compartments feels warm Automatic icemaker does not work Freezer compartment too warm Ice cubes stuck in icemaker. (Green power light on icemaker blinking). Possible Causes Refrigerator in defrost cycle. Either or both controls set to 0 (off). Refrigerator is unplugged. The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped. The refrigerator is in showroom mode. Rollers need adjusting. Normal when refrigerator is first plugged in. Often occurs when large amounts of food are placed in refrigerator. Door left open. Hot weather or frequent door openings. Temperature controls set at the coldest setting. Temperature control not set cold enough. Warm weather or frequent door openings. Door left open. Door left open. Too frequent or too long door openings. Automatic energy saver system circulates warm liquid around front edge of freezer compartment. Icemaker power switch is in the off position. Water supply turned off or not connected. Piled up cubes in the storage bin cause the icemaker to shut off. What To Do • Wait about 30 minutes for defrost cycle to end. • Set the controls to a temperature setting. • Push the plug completely into the outlet. • Replace fuse or reset the breaker. • Unplug the refrigerator and plug it back in. • See Rollers. • Wait 24 hours for the refrigerator to completely cool down. • This is normal. • Check to see if package is holding door open. • This is normal. • See About the controls. • See About the controls. • Set the temperature control one step colder.
