Fruit and vegetable drawer with Bio
Care Zone
The effectiveness of the platinum catalyst in
the Bio Care system enables it to preserve
the freshness and nutritional properties of
fruit and vegetables.
The platinum catalyst neutralises odours
and the ethylene released from the food
turns into carbon dioxide to preserve its
freshness.
Carbon dioxide prevents the loss of
nutrients and helps to keep vegetables fresh
for longer.

Improper use
Risk of damages to the appliance
• Do not remove the humidifier from the
fruit and vegetable drawer.
• Do not obstruct the humidifier with bags
or containers in order to prevent the
formation of excessive condensation.
Condensation around the drawer
and on the surface of vegetables is
normal because of the large
amount of moisture inside the fruit
and vegetable drawer.
If the door is opened frequently or
there is a lot of moisture in the
refrigerator, condensation may
form on the handle.
Package the foods if you prefer to
have no condensation.
If you only store a small amount of
food, it is recommended to pack it
as it is not possible to maintain a
high level of humidity.

3.6 Using the refrigerator compartment
Arranging foods
Arrange the foods on the various shelves,
making sure that they have an airtight
wrapping or cover. This precaution ensures
that:
• The flavour, moisture and freshness of the
foods are preserved
• Any contamination of foods with odours
or tastes from other foods can be
avoided
• The level of humidity inside the
refrigerator does not become too high as
a result of the normal transpiration of
food (especially fresh fruit and
vegetables). Under some operating
conditions (an increase in room
temperature and humidity, a more
frequent opening of the door) this might
cause condensation to form on the
shelves.
• Leave a space between the foods is left.
The flow of cold air could be hindered if
the foods are placed too close to one
other.
• Allow food to cool down before placing
it in the refrigerator. Placing food that is
still warm into the refrigerator raises the
internal temperature and wastes energy.
• Do not obstruct the cold air outlet slot as
this will affect the circulation of cold air
and cause the internal temperature to
become irregular. Food close to the slot
may freeze.
3.7 Food storage advice
Practical energy saving advice
• Correct use of the appliance, correct
packaging of foodstuffs, a constant
temperature and food hygiene have
significant effects on the quality of
storage.
• Reduce the number of times that the
doors are opened and the length of time
they remain open to prevent the
compartments from heating up
excessively.
• Clean the condenser (rear of the
refrigerator) periodically to prevent the
appliance from losing efficiency.
• Reduce the Coldest function times only
when strictly necessary.
• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator
compartment in order to make use of the
cold stored in the frozen foods.
General advice
• Always check the expiry date on the
food packaging.
• The foodstuffs must be stored in closed or
pre-packaged containers and must not
be able to emit or absorb moisture and
odours.
• Remove perishable products from the
appliance if you are going away for a
long period.
Refrigerator compartment door
• Keep eggs, butter, cheese etc. in the
upper and central part.
• Keep drinks, bottles, cans etc. in the

4.3 What to do if...
The refrigerator does not cool down:
• Make sure that the plug is inserted
properly in the power socket.
• Make sure that there are no blown fuses
or that the main power switch has not
tripped.
The refrigerator does not cool sufficiently:
• The refrigerator is exposed to direct
sunlight.
• The temperature is not set to “Cold”.
• The refrigerator is too full.
• The door has not been closed properly.
• The refrigerator has been positioned
close to a heat source.
• Hot foods have been placed inside the
refrigerator compartment.
• The door is opened and closed too
often.
The food inside the refrigerator
compartment freezes:
• The temperature is set to “Coldest”.
• Foods with high water content or
vegetables are placed close to the cold
air outlet slot.
Condensation forms on the outside of the
appliance:
• Condensation may form on the door
seal when the outside humidity is very
high. Remove the condensation with a
dry cloth.
• Condensation may form on the outside
of the refrigerator when the temperature
is set to “Coldest”. Set it to “Normal”.
Use a soft cloth to remove the
condensation.
Condensation forms inside the appliance:
• Remove the condensation with a dry
cloth.
• The door is not closed tightly.
• The door is opened and closed too often
or is kept open for too long.
• High external humidity.
• A large number of vegetables with a
high water content are being stored.
• Make sure that the packaging of the
foods is not trapped between the door
and the door seal so as not to create a
gap when the door is closed.
• The humidity in the fruit and vegetable
drawer is higher than in the other
drawers. This is not a defect.
• Wrap the vegetables in cling film to
prevent condensation. If condensation
forms frequently, water is likely to have
built up inside the fruit and vegetable
drawer. Use a dry cloth to remove the
water.

Cleaning and maintenance
Ice present in the freezer compartment:
• The door is opened and closed too often
or is kept open for too long.
• Make sure that the packaging of the
foods is not trapped between the door
and the door seal so as not to create a
gap when the door is closed.
• Ice was produced using an ice tray
different to the one supplied with the
appliance.
• There are many containers with water or
liquids present in the freezer
compartment. The liquids could
evaporate and turn into ice and settle on
the walls or parts of the freezer
compartment or around the air ducts.
Use a lid to prevent evaporation and the
formation of ice. Use a dry cloth to
remove any ice.
• When the door is opened frequently or if
it is opened when the humidity around
the refrigerator is high, the moisture in the
air may turn into ice or frost on the inside
wall or parts of the freezer compartment
or around the air ducts. This is not a
defect.
Unpleasant odours inside the appliance:
• Foods with strong odours have not been
packaged.
The refrigerator is noisy:
• Make sure that the refrigerator has been
installed in a stable position.
• The refrigerator is touching the wall.
• A gurgling noise that resembles the
sound of flowing or boiling water is due
to the coolant in the refrigeration circuit.
• A cracking sound coming from the
compartment is caused by the friction of
the parts due to the change in
temperature.
The control panel does not respond:
• The “Child lock” mode has been
selected.
• The door of the refrigeration
compartment is open.
• You are wearing gloves or your hand is
in a cast or plaster. Touch the panel
directly with your fingers.
• The control panel is wet or dirty.
• Multiple buttons are being pressed at the
same time. Touch one button at a time.
The control panel is switched off:
• Approximately 30 seconds after the end
of the operations, the LED indicator lights
turn off (except for the ECO and Dual
Fan mode LEDs). This is not a
malfunction.

Cleaning and maintenance
The surface of the refrigerator is warm:
• The refrigerator is fitted with a
condensation prevention system and
heat radiation pipes.
• The rear and side panels may be
particularly hot when the appliance is
started up or if the door is open and
closed frequently.
• The two compartments are connected by
an air duct. When one of the doors is
closed, the other may open due to the air
pressure inside the duct. This is normal.
The LED lamp inside the refrigerator
compartment has to be replaced:
• Have it replaced by a Service Centre.
There are undulations and / or
deformations on the surface of the door, the
side and the top of the refrigerator:
• Small undulations and deformations can
be generated during the refrigerator
manufacturing process. They may
appear more or less accentuated
according to the position of the light
sources or the brightness of the
environment, but they do not affect the
performance in any way.
Condensation forms when warm,
moist air comes into contact with
something cold. For example, if
you put ice in a glass, the air
around the glass cools and
condensation forms on the outer
surface of the glass.
In the same way, when hot, damp
air enters the refrigerator when the
door is opened it comes into
contact with the cold inside wall
forming a small amount of
condensation.
If the door is opened frequently or
for a long time, condensation will
build up each time. In some cases,
the condensation may turn into ice
in the freezer compartment.

If the problem has not been
resolved or for other types of fault,
please contact your local Service
Centre.
