Hints
Saving Energy
• Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section “Installation”. When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.
Hints for refrigeration
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food, particularly if it has a strong smell.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some useful hints:
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should
be well covered and can be stored on any of the glass shelves.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in
special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a top and should
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
• To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.
• Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required.
• For more thorough cleaning, the top and bottom door sheves can be removed by pulling them in the direction of the arrows, then refitting them in position.
15
Maintenance
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.
Defrosting
• Defrosting the refrigerator compartment is automatic. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a container at the back of the appliance, above the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Cleaning
Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.
NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as these will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Changing the light bulb
• Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply.
• Press on the rear hook and at the same time slide the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Replace the lamp with one of the same power (the maximum power is shown on the light diffuser).

Something not Working
Customer service and spare parts
Problems may be due to causes which can easily be solved before calling the Technical Service. Please follow these instructions:
Weight surpasses the storage limit of the door shelf so spread weight more evenly or take some products out. The appliance is not properly installed. Please look in the “Building-in” section.
Set a lower temperature. Distribute the food products to allow cold air to circulate around them. Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete and clean. The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature.
Set a warmer temperature.
Set a warmer temperature. The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature. Check that the ventilation is sufficient and that the ventilation openings are unobstructed. The cause could be the introduction of large quantities of food and/or frequent opening/closing of the door.
Sometimes this is normal. Temperature control may cause clicking sounds when the system is connected or disconnected. The injected cooling gas may produce a gurgling sound while passing through the tubes. The motor may cause a humming noise and/or slight bumping. The insulation material used has a tendency to slighly increase noise levels, how ever it allows for much better insulation and a lower energy consumption.
Your appliance is equipped with a dynamic air ventilation system. To ensure optimal cooling performance in the refrigerator and 0°C compartment the fan is operates with various power levels. This results in the fan operating at different speeds for different lengths of time. This is quite normal and not a fault with the appliance.
Door does not close
It is too warm inside the refrigerator
It is too cold inside the refrigerator.
The compressor works continuously.
