MABE RME1436X (01) PDF DOCUMENT

Observe the nominal characteristics that your electrical network must satisfy for the proper installation and operation of your MABE RME1436X refrigerator.

Before installing your refrigerator, observe the following clearances for proper operation:

Do not place your refrigerator near stoves, heaters, or in any place where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, as this will affect its performance. Do not place the refrigerator against the wall. Do not install the refrigerator in humid places. Do not place objects such as small electric appliances, on top of the refrigerator. Do not insert and adjust its screws so that they rest firmly on the floor.

Before connecting your MABE RME1436X refrigerator, do the following:

1. Before connecting the refrigerator, fail for the refrigerator temperature control to be in the “off” position.

2. Remove the base of the packing.

3. Allow refrigerator to operate empty and with the doors closed for 4 hours before putting food inside.

4. This will allow verifying that it is cooling properly and there are no leaks.

5. If you want to place your refrigerator in another location, disconnect it before moving.

6. Do not move your refrigerator when it has food inside, as it can be damaged.

1. Remove the protective film from the door.

2. Move your refrigerator to the final installation location. Two people are required.

3. Before inserting the plug into the outlet, clean the interior of your refrigerator using a soft cloth and neutral soap, then wipe it with a wet cloth and dry.

a) Your electrical installation is provided with a polarized power out-type and with a grounding connection. The polarized power outlet must have a third pole for grounding the appliance, which cannot be a water pipe, gas pipe, or any other conductor.

b) If your electrical installation is not equipped with this kind of outlet, obtain one, and request a qualified electrician to install it. If your electrical installation is not properly grounded, the manufacturer will not be liable for damages caused to the user or to the product.

c) Connect your refrigerator to the closet power outlet. We strongly recommend against the use of extension cords.

d) Your MABE RME1436X refrigerator is designed to operate in a voltage range (see chart below). If you fail to do so, you will avoid damages and the overheating of your appliance.

e) If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, by its authorized service agent, or by a qualified electrician.

f) In case of living in an area where there are power surges, use the following precautions:

• Disconnect the automatic voltage regulator from the refrigerator.

• Connect the power surge protector to the power outlet and connect your refrigerator to the protector.

• Make sure that the regulator can withstand the power surges that occur in your house.

• If the voltage is low, it is best to leave your refrigerator disconnected until the power supply is restored to its normal values.

• To ground the circuit, follow the grounding regulations and call a qualified electrician.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized service agent or a qualified electrician.

The refrigerator temperature control knob is located inside the compartment, to the right. To operate it, turn the knob to the right or left.

Note: The interior temperature and cold may vary depending on the ambient temperature. In the hot months of the year, the interior of the refrigerator will be warmer, while in the cold months, the interior temperature will be colder. To reach the desired temperature, the control may need to be increased. It is recommended to not open the door frequently, as this affects the interior temperature of the refrigerator.

Your MABE RME1436X refrigerator is equipped with an additional control (air regulator). This regulator controls the flow of cold air between the fresh food compartment and the freezer compartment. You can adjust the air regulator control to distribute the cold air between the two compartments.

If you wish to adjust it, use a coin inserted in the slot (F), turn it to the right or to the left. At the left end, all cold air will be generated in the freezer compartment. At the right end, the cold air will be distributed evenly between the two compartments, the freezer and the fresh food compartment. Once the adjustment is made, do not move it, as this would make it lose its calibration. It is recommended to not move it unless the ambient temperature changes, to save energy.

To remove the crispers:

Do not overload the refrigerator with food, leave space between items and use containers to store your food. This will allow better air circulation and will help you to maintain the food fresh for longer.

Warning:

Do not touch the interior walls of the freezer with wet hands.

Be careful with the shelves, baskets and accessories located near the refrigerator when the doors are open as they could get injured or trapped inside.

To re-insert the crispers:

See instructions on the top of the refrigerator door.

The crispers are located in the lower part of the interior of your refrigerator.

1. Open the refrigerator door completely.

2. To insert the crispers, hold them tilted upwards and slide them in until they rest on the guides.

3. A click can be heard on both sides of the crispers, which means that the crispers are correctly in place. In case of not hearing a click, make sure that it is correctly inserted.

1. The ice maker is ready for making ice. To fill it, use a container to pour a total of 1.3 liters of water in the upper opening. The capacity mark on the sides inside your refrigerator.

Do not remove the ice maker to pour water on it, as this may cause spills inside the freezer, which in turn could damage it due to a slight burning of condensation. It is also possible that with some drops fall and that damage the fan.

To remove the ice cubes, tilt the ice maker, lift up slightly to emerge from its rod and pull out.

The ice drawer has a front side (the knob) and a back side (the stops). When the knob is turned, the ice cubes will be removed from the ice cube tray and fall on the ice drawer. To do so, turn it slightly and pull it down to remove it completely from the refrigerator. To re-insert it, slide the ice cube tray back to its place. To take the ice, pull the ice drawer by its handle.

NOTE: Only load their foods on the glass.

To remove the shelf, perform the following actions:

To remove the bin take it by both ends and pull up to its top side. To replace the bin slide it on the upper side of the shelf until it is back in its place.

Bottle bin:

To remove the shelf hold and rotates upward to release it. To replace the upper hook and rotate down until its clips. It supports bottles up to 2 liters or medium bottles.

Easy ice (Only on some models)

Your refrigerator has an Easy Ice system, located at the top left side inside the freezer compartment.

Warning: Fill with potable water only.

Step by step to make and release ice:

1. The knobs located on the front side release the ice in the trays, until the drawer where the ice is deposited is once it is unstudded.

2. To take out the cassettes pull out the drawer from the front side. To do so push up the system knobs and pull it outwards until the cassettes from the rails.

3. To fill the cassettes with water take from its handle and fill it up to the level mark.

4. Once the cassette is out, place it on a flat surface and fill it with water. Do not fill it when it is in the refrigerator because it will be more difficult to unstuds the ice.

Re-inserting the cassette will be aligning the ice cubes with the rails of the ice maker and pushing it until it is fully in place and carefully aligned with the back side of the system.

1. At the same time, there will be ice cubes ready. To release the ice, turn the knobs in the direction, until the ice cubes fall into the drawer.

2. To take out the ice drawer to use the ice, pull out of its two notches. To remove the ice, simply tilt and take out the desired ice. To place it back, push until you hear a click.

3. To make more ice cubes, repeat the process.

Recommendations for use:

• We recommend cleaning the ice maker with a soft sponge, with mild soap and water and dry it completely before use. Do not use chemical products or scouring pads on the ice maker. Instead, as this may damage its functionality.

• In order to not alter the ice, clean it thoroughly. Similarly, pull the drawer out of the system and take it where you want to drawn it.

Food storage in the refrigerator:

• We recommend storing food in containers with lids, wrapped or stored in air-tight bags. This will preserve its freshness for longer.

• Do not introduce hot food in the refrigerator or freezer. You must wait until they have cooled down to room temperature.

• We suggest labeling food to know its storing time.

• Do not store ice cream in the ice maker.

• Do not drink soft drinks placed in the freezer.

• Disconnect the refrigerator from the outlet before cleaning or starting any technical process.

• Do not use brushes or fibers which may scratch the surfaces of your refrigerator. Do not use chemical products.

• Use a soft sponge or a damp cloth with mild soap. rinse and dry well with a clean, dry cloth.

• Do not pour water directly on your refrigerator, as this could damage some parts of the refrigerator.

• Do not use sharp or pointy-ended objects which may scratch your refrigerator, or even break some of its parts.

• To clean the condenser (on models that apply), use a brush, cloth or sponge. This will improve its efficiency.

• Clean the gaskets with a soft cloth and a mix of mild soap.

To replace the light bulb, follow the instructions below:

1. Disconnect the refrigerator.

2. Remove the light bulb cover by pressing the rear cover inwards while moving the cover downwards, this will unhook the cover. The cover has two hooks, one on each side. Hold the light bulb while performing this action.

3. Remove the light bulb by unscrewing it.

4. Replace light bulb with one of the same electrical characteristics (voltage and power), which you can find in stores.

5. To place the light bulb cover in its place, fit its two lower hooks over the control slot, and pushing the cover upper part upwards until a “click”.

For short periods:

Leave your refrigerator closed and empty, including the ice trays.

If you will leave your refrigerator running, it is recommended you do this. This will not cause any problems to your refrigerator.

For short periods of absence, your refrigerator may remain connected, but be aware of power surges that may occur, as well as prolonged absences.

Moving:

If you need to place the refrigerator in a horizontal position in order to transport it, wait for about 30 minutes for the lubricating oil to stabilize in the compressor. Leave your refrigerator closed before moving your refrigerator to insert the leveling screws as far as they will go.

Your MABE RME1436X refrigerator is equipped with a device that prevents condensation. The heating of the refrigerator’s outer walls is normal and is due to a heat exchanger which works as a condenser. The heating in the outer walls of the refrigerator prevents the “sweating” of the refrigerators. At certain times of the year, in hot weathers, slight condensation may form. Dry with a soft cloth.

• Gas crunching sound. It is heard when the ice breaks. It is the same noise heard when the ice trays are bent to remove the ice cubes. It is normal. It will disappear in time.

• Gas circulation sound. It is normal and it is similar to the boiling sound of liquids.

• Expansion sound. It is a characteristic sound of gas expansion in the refrigeration system. It is similar to the crackle that wood produces when burning.

• Fan motor sound. It is a characteristic sound of running air. It occurs when the refrigerator is going through its defrosting process.

• Thudding sound. This sound is due to the contraction and dilation of the inner walls when the cooling system is operating.

• Gurgling sound. It is the characteristic sound of bubbling water and the condensation water falling on the hot surfaces of the defrost system.
