1. If one of the doors is opened for more than 1 minute,an acoustic warning signal sound.
2. If the door is opened for a prolonged period of time, the acoustic warning signal will sound three times every 30 seconds.

The door alarm can also be quitted permanently by closing the corresponding door.
In order to save energy a prolonged opening of the doors should be avoided.

Electrical Connection

Warning

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in an electrical shock hazard. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized FORNO Products service centre.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug, which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the chance of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the supplied power cord.
This appliance requires a standard 115 Volt~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground plug.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this unit. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL- Listed,3-wire grounded appliance-type extension cord with a ground plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

SURGE PROTECTOR
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to.
If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed, contact a licensed electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.

Ice Maker

This ice maker works automatically (automatic water supply, automatic production and detaching of ice cubes), therefore there is no need to supply water manually. When the ice cube storage is full, the sensor rod will automatically send a signal to the machine to stop making ice.

DANGER

• Do not place your hand into the mechanical part of the ice maker (above the ice making tray). Doing so may result in injury.
• To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.

WARNING

• The ice maker kit should be installed only by an authorized service technician.
• Connect the ice maker to a drinkable water supply only.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• If the water supply is from a water softener, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker.

Tips

• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.
• Switch off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer or during short vacations.
• It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to start producing normal ice cubes. Air in new plumbing lines may cause ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. New plumbing may cause ice to be discoloured or to have poor flavour during the first 24 hours.

Making Ice Cubes

• Make sure to disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical power supply before installing the water supply pipes properly according to the installation manual. Once the water supply is connected properly, connect the refrigerator to the electrical power supply.
• The ice maker is set to OFF by default. When needed, set it to ON according the instructional diagram on the machine’s cover.
• The time needed to make ice will vary according to room temperature, water type, amount and temperature of the water inside the ice making tray, as well as the machine’s status.
• The size of the ice cubes will vary according to the amount of water inside the ice storage box.
• The ice cubes will stick together or become smaller when storing for extended periods of time.
• Be careful not to injure your hand when breaking apart ice cubes that are stuck together.

Before Installing the Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
(WARNING: Connect to drinkable water supply only.)
Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi (2 and 6.9 bar).

• To Connect Water Supply Line to Ice maker Inlet ValveA shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

To Connect Water Supply Line to Ice maker Inlet Valve

• Disconnect refrigerator from electrical power supply.
• Remove all installation accessories (water pipe, connector, washer, clip) from inside the refrigerator.
• Tighten all connections where they might leak, turn on the water supply at shutoff valve.
• Reconnect refrigerator to the electrical power supply.
• To turn the ice maker on, lower the signal wire arm. (Refer to the front cover of the ice maker for the arm’s on/off positions).

Tips

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your Appliance

• Unplug the unit and remove the food and bins.
• Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespo ons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the bins with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.

CAUTION
Failure to unplug the refrigerator-freezer could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

Power Failure
• Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator-freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.

Vacation Time
Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations lasting less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, wedging it open if necessary.

Moving Your Appliance

• Remove all food inside the appliance.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside the unit.
• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transportation.

Energy Saving Tips

• The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Organize and label food to reduce the frequency of door openings and extended searches for items inside the unit. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
