Storage of food in the refrigerator
Important precautions
Important precautions
and hints
and hints
• Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct
temperature and hygienic precautions produce substantial
impact on the quality of stored food.
• Always respect the best before date, printed on the packaging.
• Food to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed
as to prevent emission and/or reception of moisture and odors.
• Never store infl ammable, volatile or explosive substances.
• Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be stored in
tightly sealed bottles in vertical position.
• Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or orange
peel, acids in butter etc. can cause damage in prolonged
contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of
time they can cause accelerated aging of the plastic material.
• Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that something
is wrong with food or that your refrigerator needs cleaning (see
chapter Cleaning).

• If you plan a longer absence, make sure you removed quickly
perishable articles of food from the appliance before you
leave.
Storage periodsStorage periods
Recommended periods of storing fresh food in the
refrigerator
Food Storage period
eggs, marinades, smoked meat, up to 10 days
cheese up to 10 days

Storing food in the ZERO’N’FRESH compartment
The ZERO’N’FRESH drawer enables storing a variety of fresh
food for approximately three times as long as in a conventional
refrigerator. The food will remain fresh and retain its fl avor and
nutrients for a longer period of time.
Storing food in the ZERO’N’FRESH drawer prevents decay
and loss of mass; thus, fruit and vegetables are more fresh and
natural. Storage temperature is preset to approximately 0 °C.
The temperature may vary from -2°C to +3°C, depending on the
temperature in the refrigerator. If the temperature of the environment
where the appliance is installed is lower than 16°C, we recommend
setting the refrigerator compartment temperature to 4°C or less.
For optimum operation, the drawer should be tightly closed.
183000
• Moisture level in the drawer depends upon the moisture of stored
food, and on the frequency of opening the drawer.
• When you buy food check its freshness: quality and durability of
food depends on it.
• Store non-wrapped animal or vegetable food separately, or wrap
it in suitable packages. Be careful to prevent touching of different
types of meat. They should be packed and stored separately to
avoid bacterial decomposition in case meat turns foul.
• Approximately 30-60 minutes prior use remove food from the
drawer to let its aroma and taste develop at ambient temperature.
• Food sensitive to low temperatures is not suitable for storage
in the ZERO’N’FRESH drawer: pineapple, avocado, bananas,
olives, potato, eggplant, cucumber, beans, bell pepper, melons,
water melons, pumpkins,...

Defrosting the appliance
Automatic defrosting of
Automatic defrosting of
the refrigerator
the refrigerator
Refrigerator needs no special defrosting procedure, because ice
deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor
operation is defrosted when the compressor stops operating,
and condensed water drops are drained through the outlet in the
inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor
where it evaporates. In case you should notice excessive ice
formation at the rear refrigerator panel (3-5 mm thick), switch the
appliance off and thaw it manually.
183000

Page 14
Cleaning the appliance
Prior any cleaning attempt disconnect the appliance from the
mains (see the control chapter for ON/OFF function), and pull the
power cord from the mains wall outlet.
Special antibacterial protection in top layer of inner walls prevents
multiplication of bacteria and maintains the interior clean and germ
free.
Make sure to remove traces of any cleansing agents you had been
using.
• Clean the exterior of the appliance with water and liquid detergent.
• Do not use abrasive or aggressive agents (such as stainless steel
cleansers) for cleaning of plastic and coated surfaces as you can
damage them.
• Clean coated and/or aluminum surfaces with soft cloth and
alcohol based cleansing agent (for example glass cleaners).
• Wash the interior of the appliance with liquid detergent and
lukewarm water, mixed with a little vinegar.
• Containers, shelves, and drawers with a decorative profi le (metallic
appearance) are not dishwasher safe! They can only be cleaned
with a dissolved liquid detergent and a soft cloth. Do not rub them!
• Appliances without the ZERO’N’FRESH drawer: cooling surface
on the rear wall is periodically defrosted. The drain groove and the
outlet through which the water is discharged should not be clogged
(food residues).
Check them regularly and clean as required (e.g. with a plastic
straw).
183000
• The condenser on the rear wall must always be clean and free of
dust or kitchen fumes deposits, therefore clean the dust periodically
with non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner..
• Clean also the drip pan above the compressor. If you removed
the pan, please make sure you replace it to the same position, and
check that it is in completely horizontal position!

Troubleshooting guide
Fault: Cause/Remedy
The appliance does not
operate after connection to the
mains:
Cooling system operates
continuously without
intermittent stoppages:
Excessive ice formation at the
rear interior wall of the freezer:
Water dripping from the
appliance:
Bulb replacement:
Helpful hints • If none of the above proves effective and you can not remove
• Check if there is power in the socket and if the appliance is
switched on.
• Ambient temperature too high.
• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket, sagged
door, check gasket sealing, etc...).
• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.
• Refrigerator probe (A) is clogged with fresh food. Relocate the
food to provide air circulation around the probe (certain models
only).
• Check air circulation for suffi cient cooling of the compressor, and
clean the condenser.
• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Inserting hot food in the freezer.
• Food or dish is touching the rear interior panel of the refrigerator.
• Bad door sealing; clean or replace the gasket if dirty or damaged.
• Drain outlet is clogged, drain water drips past the collection
groove.
• Clean the clogged outlet using plastic straw.
• Thaw thick ice deposits manually (see chapter Defrosting).
• Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance form the
power supply (pull the power cord from the wall socket).
B – Insert the screwdriver into the cover slot, lift it and remove the
cover.
Replace the bulb with the equivalent new bulb (E 14, same
voltage as the original one) and replace the cover back to its
position.
• Don’t forget: the old bulb does not belong to organic waste.
• Light bulb is consumption material and is not covered by the
warranty!
the fault yourself, disconnect the appliance from the mains ( see
chapter regarding the ON/OFF function), pull the power cord from
the wall socket, wait for approximately 10 minutes and reconnect
the appliance.
If the fault persists call the nearest service center and tell them
the information from the rating plate: type of appliance, model and
serial number, located inside the appliance.

Noise level
The refrigerator – freezer appliances are cooled by the refrigeration system with a compressor
(assisted by fan in certain models) whose operation may produce certain noise. The level of such
noise depends upon the location, correct use and age of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor (the refrigerant fl ow) may be
somewhat louder. This does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance, neither has
it any infl uence on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced and eventually
subsides.
• Sometimes the appliance produces unusual and stronger noise which is rather unusual for the
appliance. This noise is often the consequence of inadequate positioning of the appliance:
- The appliance should be placed and leveled fi rmly on solid base.
- It should not touch the wall or adjacent kitchen units standing next to it.
- Check whether the accessories in the interior of the appliance are placed correctly in their
positions; also check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might touch each other and rattle.
