Freezing fresh food

Arrange the fresh food to be frozen in the freezing
area in the freezer compartment
avoiding the food coming into direct contact with
food that is already frozen. To maximise the
freezing speed, the lower drawer can be removed
and the food can be placed directly on the bottom
of the compartment.
The freezing will be complete after 24 hours.

The control panel is switched off, the appliance does
not work.

The inside light does not work.

The inside light flashes.

The temperature inside the compartments is not low
enough.

There is water on the bottom of the refrigerator
compartment.

There is too much frost in the freezer compartment. The door of the freezer compartment does not close properly.

The front edge of the appliance, at the door striker
seal, is hot.

One or more green lights flash continuously.

The temperature of the refrigerator compartment is too
cold.

Note: some noises, such as gurgles and hissing, caused by the refrigeration system, are normal.

On/Stand-by

Press the “Temp.” button for 3 seconds to
turn off the appliance (the control panel and light
will stay turned off). Press the button again briefly
to reactivate the appliance.

Note: This does not disconnect the appliance
from the power supply

Refrigerator compartment temperature

The three LED indicators indicate the refrigerator
compartment set temperature.
A different temperature can be set using the
“Temp.” button.

The following adjustments are possible:

LEDs lit

Fan (if available)

You can turn the fan on/off by pressing the button on the base
(as shown in the figure). If the ambient temperature exceeds
27°C, or if drops of water are present on the glass shelves,
it is essential that the fan is on to ensure the proper
preservation of the food. Deactivation of the fan allows energy
consumption to be optimised.

What to do if... Possible reasons: Solutions:

There may be an appliance power supply problem.

The appliance could be in On/stand by mode.

The light may need replacing.
Malfunction of a technical component.

Door alarm active.
It is activated when the refrigerator compartment door remains open for a prolonged period of time.

There could be various causes (see “Solutions”)

The defrost water drain is blocked. Clean the defrost water drain hole (see chapter “Appliance Maintenance and Cleaning”).

This is not a defect. It prevents condensation from forming. No solution is necessary.

Malfunction alarm
The alarm indicates a fault in a technical component.

- The set temperature is too cold.

- A large amount of fresh food may have been placed in the freezer compartment.

Check that:

- there is not a power outage

- the plug is properly inserted in the power socket and the mains double-pole switch (if present) is in the correct position (i.e. allows
the appliance to be powered)

- the household electrical system protection devices are efficient

- the power cable is not broken.

Turn the appliance on by briefly pressing the “Temp” button (see On/Stand-by function).

Contact an authorized Service Centre.

To stop the alarm, close the refrigerator door.
On reopening the door, check the light works.

Check that:

- the doors close properly

- the appliance is not installed near a heat source

- the set temperature is adequate

- the circulation of air through the vents at the bottom of the appliance is not obstructed (see installation manual)

- Check that there is nothing preventing the door from closing properly

- Defrost the freezer compartment

- Make sure the appliance has been correctly installed.

Contact an authorized Service Centre.

- Try to set a less cold temperature.

- If fresh food has been placed in the freezer compartment, wait until it has fully frozen.
