IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE
Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, maintaining
the right temperature, and observing the food hygiene standards
has a decisive impact on the quality of food storage.
Observe the expiration dates for the food, specified on the
packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed
containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from
emitting or absorbing odors.
Do not store inflammable, volatile, and explosive substances in
the refrigerator.
Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed and
stored in an upright position.
Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange peel,
butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic surfaces in case of
prolonged contact, causing damage and premature ageing of
these materials.
Unpleasant odors warn of uncleanliness of the appliance or
contents that have turned (see Cleaning the Appliance).
If you are leaving home for a longer period of time, remove
perishables from the refrigerator.

FREEZING AND STORING
22
FROZEN FOOD
FREEZING PROCESS
Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once
is specified on the appliance rating plate. If the amount of
food to be frozen exceeds the indicated amount, the quality
of freezing will be inferior; in addition, the quality of the
food already frozen will deteriorate.
•
To make use of the entire freezer volume, use all drawers.
•
Activate the super freeze function 24 hours before freezing fresh food:
- press the H key.
After this time, insert the fresh food into the freezing compartment.
Make sure the fresh food is not in contact with the food that is already frozen!
The most suitable place for freezing a large amount of fresh food is the upper section of
the freezer.
•
When freezing smaller quantities of food (2 to 4 pounds), activating the super freeze
function is not required.
•
After 24 hours, the food can be moved to other freezer compartments and the freezing
process can be repeated as necessary.

545433
IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING FRESH
23
FOOD
Only freeze the food that is suitable for freezing in the freezer. Make sure
the food you freeze is of high quality and fresh.
Choose appropriate packaging and use the packaging correctly.
Packaging should not be permeable to humidity; it should be airtight
to prevent the food from drying out and losing vitamins.
Label the food; indicate the type of food, amount, and date of
freezing.
STORAGE OF INDUSTRIALLY FROZEN FOOD
•
When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Temperature and expiration date are indicated on the packaging.
•
Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of
-18°C (-0.4°F) or lower.
•
Do not purchase foods covered in frost as this indicates they have been partly defrosted
several times and that they are of inferior quality.
•
Protect the food from thawing during transport. In case of an increase in temperature,
safe storage time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate.
It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible. Therefore,
keep the packages small. Refrigerate the food before freezing.

RECOMMENDED STORAGE TIME IN THE FREEZER
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD
Freezing the food does not kill the microorganisms. After the food is defrosted or thawed,
bacteria are re-activated and the food spoils quickly. Use the partially or completely
defrosted food as soon as possible.
Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food, particularly fruit, vegetables, and
ready-to-eat food.
Page 26
30
545433
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
25
AUTOMATIC REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING
Refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall is thawed
automatically.
Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive. Drops will flow through an
opening in the refrigerator rear wall into a tray fitted above the compressor, from where they
will evaporate.
If an excessive layer of ice is formed on the rear wall of refrigerator interior (1/8” or more),
switch off the appliance and defrost the appliance manually.
DEFROSTING A NO-FROST FREEZER
•
The NO FROST freezer will defrost automatically. Occasional frost that may appear on
the walls will disappear automatically.
•
Build-up of ice or frost in the freezer compartment can be a result of abnormal use of
appliance (door opened too frequently and/or too long, door not properly closed etc.).
In this case, unplug the appliance, remove the food from the freezer and protect it from
defrosting.
Clean and dry the freezer interior. Before returning the frozen food into the freezer,
switch on the appliance and select the desired setting.

TROUBLESHOOTING
27
Problem: Cause or remedy:
Appliance is connected to
the power but it does not
work.
Cooling system operates
continuously for a long
period of time:
•
Make sure there is voltage in the power outlet and that
the appliance is switched on.
•
Too high ambient temperature.
•
Door opened too frequently or too long.
•
Door not closed correctly (possible impurities on the
seal, misaligned door, damaged seal, etc.).
•
Too much fresh food inserted at once.
•
Sensor in the refrigerator (A) blocked by fresh food.
Make sure the air can circulate around the sensor (only
with some models).
•
Insufficient compressor and condenser cooling. Check
the air circulation behind the appliance and clean the
condenser unit.
Excessive build-up of
ice on the back wall of
refrigerator interior can be
a result of the following:
Build-up of ice or frost in
the freezer interior may be
a result of the following:
Condensate (dew) on the
shelf above the drawers:
Water leaking from the
refrigerator:
Temperature display
flashes:
Door opened too frequently or too long.
•
Warm food placed in the refrigerator.
•
Food in contact with the back interior wall of the
refrigerator.
•
Poor door sealing.
If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean it or replace it.
•
Door opened too frequently or too long.
•
Door not properly closed.
•
Poor door sealing.
•
If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean or replace it.
•
This is a transient phenomenon which cannot be entirely
avoided in periods of high ambient temperature and
humidity. It subsides when temperature and humidity are
normalized. We recommend cleaning the drawers more
frequently and wiping the droplets occasionally.
•
Open the humidity control slider.
•
Place the food into bags or other airtight packaging.
•
Clogged water discharge opening or water dripping past
the water gutter.
•
Clean the clogged opening using a plastic straw or
similar item.
•
If a thick layer of ice builds up, defrost the appliance
manually (see Defrosting the Appliance).
•
Door opened too frequently or too long.
•
Door not closed correctly (possible impurities on the
seal, misaligned door, damaged seal, etc.).
•
A lengthy power failure.
•
Too much fresh food inserted at once.

Problem:
Cause or remedy:
Door is difficult to open:
•
If you are trying to open the freezer door after just
having closed it, this could be difficult to do.
As you open the door, some cool air escapes from
the appliance and it is replaced by warm air from the
environment. When this air is cooled, negative pressure is
generated which results in problems as you try to open
the door. After a few minutes, the condition is normalized
and the door can be easily opened again.
LED lighting does not
work:
•
If LED lighting does not work, call a service technician.
Do not attempt a repair of the LED lighting yourself, as
there is danger of contact with high voltage!
Indication of error code on
the display (only with some
models):
•
If E appears on the display, call a service technician.
28
If none of the instructions above fixes your problem, call the nearest authorized service center
and state the type, model, and serial number found on the rating plate/label which is located in
the appliance interior.

INFORMATION ABOUT
29
APPLIANCE NOISE
Cooling in refrigerator/freezers is made possible by a system that includes a compressor
(and a fan with some appliances), which generates some noise. The level of noise depends
on installation, proper use, and age of the appliance.
•
After connecting the appliance to the power line, compressor operation, or the sound
of flowing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign of malfunction and it will
not affect the useful life of the appliance. In time, appliance operation and this noise will
become quieter.
•
Sometimes, unusual or loud noises may be heard during appliance operation; these are
mostly the result of improper installation:
-
The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
-
The appliance must not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.
-
Make sure the interior equipment sits firmly in its place and that the noise is not
caused by cans, bottles or other containers placed next to each other.
•
Due to the higher workload on the cooling system when the door is opened more
frequently or for a longer time, when a large amount of fresh food is introduced, or
when intensive freezing or cooling functions are activated, the appliance can temporarily
generate more noise.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE
FUNCTIONALITY OF THE APPLIANCE.
