Before Putting Into Use
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, leave it
stand for about 2 hours, which will reduce a possibility of
malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling.
Clean the appliance, and be thorough, especially in the
interior (See Cleaning and Maintenance).
In case the interior accessories are not correctly placed,
rearrange them as described in chapter "Description of the
Appliance".
Instructions for Use
These instructions for use are intended for the user. They
describe the appliance and its correct and safe use. They were
prepared for various types/models of refrigerators therefore you
may find in it description of some functions and accesories that
your appliance does not have.
We Care for the Environment
Our products use environmentally friendly packaging, which
can be either recycled or disposed of in an environmentally
friendly manner. To this end, individual packaging materials
are clearly marked.
These instructions are printed either on recycled paper or
chlorine free bleached paper.
When your appliance finally wears out, please try not to
burden the environment with it; call your nearest authorised
service agent. (See Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance)
Tips for Energy Savings
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the
weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to
close it as soon as possible. This is especially important if
you have an upright model.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently
ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
Set thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as
possible (depends on how loaded the appliance is, ambient
temperature etc).
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods,
make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do
clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is
poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
The condenser on the rear wall should be always clean, free
of dust or any impurities.
Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning
and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption
is substantially higher.
Important
If you have bought this appliance to replace an old one
equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside
(lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make
it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the
appliance and suffocate.
The appliance must be correctly connected to the mains
supply. (see: Connecting to the Mains Supply).
If the food has strange smell or color, throw it away, because
it is very likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to
eat.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
repairing it (only a qualified technician should repair it),
before cleaning and before replacing the light bulb.
Do not defrost the appliance with other electric appliances
(as for example with hair dryer) and never scrape the frost
layer with sharp objects. Use only enclosed tools or tools
recommended by the manufacturer.
For the sake of environment protection - be careful not to
damage the rear wall of the appliance (the condenser unit or
the tubes - for example when moving the appliance) or any
part of the refrigerating system inside the appliance.
The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with
refrigerant and oil, so when the appliance is damaged,
handle it with care and dispose it of in compliance with
environmental protecting precautions. (See We Care for the
Environment).
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or his service agent or a qualified person in
order to avoid hazard.
The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear
wall.

    Why is my Smeg FA28APTFS Refrigerator making so much noise?
    • K
      Karen DavisAug 9, 2025
      If your Smeg Refrigerator is making unusual and stronger noises, make sure that the appliance is placed firmly on a solid, level base. Ensure that the refrigerator isn't touching the wall or any kitchen units next to it. Check the accessories inside the refrigerator to ensure they are placed correctly. Also, verify that bottles, tins, and other vessels are not touching each other.

      If water is leaking from your Smeg Refrigerator, the discharge water outlet might be clogged. Try cleaning it with a plastic straw. If the defrost water drips over the channel, manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall" for instructions.

    How to stop ice from forming on the back wall of my Smeg FA28APTFS?

      Brian EllisSep 12, 2025
      If you notice ice forming on the inner rear wall of your Smeg Refrigerator, several factors could be the cause. Check the door seal; if it's dirty, clean it, and if it's damaged, replace it. Limit how often and how long you open the door. Make sure only cooled food is stored inside. Avoid letting food or dishes touch the inner back wall. If the ice buildup is significant (3-5 mm), manually defrost the refrigerator by setting the thermostat knob to the '0' position and leaving the door open. Never use electrical devices or sharp objects to remove the ice.

    Why is my Smeg FA28APTFS running constantly?
    • B
      bstevensAug 29, 2025
      If your Smeg Refrigerator's cooling system is running continuously, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the door is properly closed, as frequent openings or leaving it ajar can cause this issue. Check the door seal for any damage or contamination, and clean or replace it if needed. Avoid overloading the appliance with fresh foods. Also, ensure adequate air circulation around the compressor and condenser, and wipe off the condenser to improve ventilation.
