Fan assisted fast cooling is started by pressing the button (D). Orange LED is on. Fan eliminates minor temperature differences between different cabinet spaces, and reduces dew formation on the interior surface of the appliance. In appliances with the ZERO’N’FRESH drawer, fan boost, or fan assisted cooling, is automatically switched off after approximately 6 hours.
The alarm sounds if the refrigerator door is left open for more than 1 minute. When the door is closed again the alarm stops.
Control panel - appliance with mechanical regulation
ON/OFF button
The appliance is switched on/off by turning the temperature selector (see Fig.) to any position from 0 to 7. The appliance operation is controlled by turning the thermostat (temperature selecting button) located within the refrigerator cabinet from the position STOP (0) to the position 7 and back.
Temperature setting
• The higher the position of the temperature selector (towards position 7) the lower is the temperature (cooler) within the cabinet of the appliance. Interior temperature in the refrigerator may even fall below 0°C. Higher position settings are to be used on in case of recommended low cooling temperature, or if the ambient temperature is below 16°C. In case of standard ambient temperature we recommend the medium setting.
• Change in the ambient temperature affects the temperature of the appliance, so the position of the temperature selector should be adjusted accordingly.
• In the STOP (0) position the appliance is switched off (cooling system is off). However, the appliance is still powered (light bulb is turned on if you open the refrigerator door).

and hints
Storage periodsStorage periods
• 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.
Recommended periods of storing fresh food in the refrigerator

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.
183755

For optimum operation, the drawer should be tightly closed.
• 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,...

Storage procedure Storage procedure
Important precautions
Important precautions and hints for freezing
and hints for freezing fresh food
fresh food
• Activate the fast freeze function by pressing the button (C) for continuous operation 24 hours prior intended freezing.
- control unit 1 and 2: with knob B, position SF/SC;
- mechanical regulation: knob position approximately between
4 and 5.
After that, distribute the food evenly across the shelf in the upper position, making sure they are not in contact with the already frozen food packages. In appliances without the shelf, place the food on the bottom, closer to the front.
• After 24 hours you may relocate the food to the storage compartment, and repeat the freezing procedure if required. You may also remove the drawers and store frozen food directly on cooling shelves.
• For freezing smaller quantities of fresh food (1-2 kg), the engagement of the fast freeze function is not required.
Freeze only such food which is suitable for freezing and sustain low temperatures. Food should be of adequate quality and fresh. Select adequate packaging for each kind of food and pack it correctly. The packaging should be air tight and well sealed without leaking since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration. Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading. It is imperative that food is frozen as quickly as possible. We therefore recommend the size of the package not to be too large and to be cooled before loading into the freezer. The amount of the fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer as a single load is declared on the rating plate. If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which in turn affects the quality of frozen foods.
Storage of industrially
Storage of industrially frozen food
frozen food
The storage time and recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions for storage and use of frozen food. When shopping be careful to choose only food which is adequately packed and provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature never rises above -18°C. Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Take care that packages don’t start to thaw during transport to your home. Temperature rise shortens the storage time and affects the quality of commercially frozen foods.

Defrosting frozen foodDefrosting frozen food
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.

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.
• Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the freezer reaches thickness of around 3-5 mm.
• 24 hours before defrosting activate the fast freeze function (see relevant control chapter depending upon the model of the appliance – fast freezing) for continuous operation in order to additionally freeze the food inside. After that period take the food out of the freezer and protect them from excessive thawing.
• Switch the appliance off (see the relevant control chapter for ON/OFF function) and pull the power cord from the wall socket.
• Place a convenient absorbent cloth underneath to collect the
16
defrost water and change it periodically.
• Never use powered appliances to defrost the freezer (hair dryer, etc.) - LIFE THREATENING!
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
• Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry (see chapter Cleaning).
• Before reloading food into the freezer switch the appliance on.
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).
• 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..
17
183755
• 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!
• Ice and/or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm increase energy consumption, so you need to remove them regularly. Do not use sharp pointed objects, solvents or sprays.
• After cleaning switch the appliance on and reload the food.

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. If you have an appliance with the ZERO’N’FRESH drawer, call servis.
• 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.

183755
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.
