• Sound alarm is switched off by pressing button I. Red signal
lamp and temperature flashing are stopped automatically
when the freezer/refrigerator has cooled enough that there is
no more risk of food becoming unsafe to eat.
• If the freezer temperature fails to arrive at the adequate level
24 hours after the alarm was switched off it is activated again,
and again switched off automatically when the freezer
has cooled enough for safe storage of food. During the initial
start of the appliance there is a 24 hour delay of the
temperature alarm to avoid unnecessary alarm operation.
Intermittent alarm sound - power failure signal
If the temperature of the refrigerator or freezer is raised too much
as a consequence of power failure, the sound alarm is activated

Storing fresh food
Important precautions
for storing fresh food
Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food,
correct temperature and hygienic precautions have
substantial impact on the quality of stored food.
Always respect the use-by date, printed on the
packaging.
Food to be stored in the refrigerator should be
properly packed so as to prevent absorbing of
moisture and building up of odors.
Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive
substances.
Beverages with high alcohol percentage must be
stored in tightly sealed bottles in upright position.
Some organic solutions (e.g.: strong oils in lemon/
orange peel and acids in butter, etc.) can cause
damage through prolonged contact with plastic
surfaces or gaskets; they can cause accelerated
ageing of the plastic material.
An unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign
that something is wrong with food or that your
refrigerator needs cleaning (see chapter on Cleaning).
If you are away for a lengthy time, please remove all
perishables beforehand.
Interior accessories and
space distribution
Equipment depends on the model.
• Shelves can be optionally placed on the guides inside the
appliance. They are protected from being accidentally pulled
out completely. To remove the shelf, raise the back part, level
off and pull it out. Easily perishable food should be stored at
the back, i.e. the coldest part of the shelves.
• Certain models are equipped with a wire bottle rack
which enables storing bottles horizontally. It is safe-
guarded against pulling out. It may be pulled out only if
empty, by lifting the front part and pulling it towards you.
Place the bottle rack in the appliance in such way as to
avoid obstruction of door closing by the length of the
stored bottles.
Maximum load of the rack is 9 bottles of 750 ml, or 29 lbs
of total mass - see label at the right side of the interior of
the appliance.
• The crisper below the glass shelf at the bottom of the
refrigerator is used for storage of fruits and vegetables. It
retains the right level of moisture and prevents drying out.
• The inner refrigerator door consists of various shelves or
holders used for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yogurt, and a
13
stock of other smaller packages, tubes, cans, etc. The bottom
shelf is used for storing bottles.
• The freezer door liner is also fitted with various shelves or
holders used for storing frequently used frozen food for
quick access (ice cream, already opened packages of
vegetables, etc.).
• Fan (certain models only - located under the ceiling or hidden
behind rear panel of the refrigerator, or concealed within the
freezing unit) improves even distribution of temperature and
reduces condensation on storage racks.

Freezing and storage of frozen food
Freezing procedure
• 24 hours before freezing fresh food, activate the rapid freezing
function (freeze boost) - press the E key.
After this period place fresh food in the freezing
compartment. In the NO FROST freezer model, use the
central drawer for freezing.
Do not let the already frozen packages touch the fresh ones.
NO FROST freezers require enough space under the ceiling
for the circulation of cold air, so avoid storing the food above
the marked level (see photo).
• After 24 hours you may move 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. Do not remove the lower drawer if
you have a NO FROST appliance!
• For freezing smaller quantities of fresh food (2 - 4½ lbs),
the engagement of the fast freeze function is not
required.

Important precautions
for freezing of fresh food
Freeze only such foods that are suitable for freezing
and can sustain low temperatures. Food should be of
adequate quality and freshness.
Select adequate packaging for each kind of food and
pack it correctly.
The packaging should be airtight and well sealed
without leaking since this could cause substantial
vitamin loss and dehydration.
Mark packages with the following data: Type, kind
and amount, date.
It is important that food be frozen as quickly as
possible. We therefore recommend the size of the
package not be too large; it should be cooled before
placing into the freezer.
The amount of fresh food that can be put into the
freezer as a single load is stated 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.
Storing commercially
frozen food
The storage time and recommended temperature for storing
commercially frozen foods is indicated on the package. Always
follow manufacturer’s instructions for storage and use of frozen
food. When shopping be careful to choose only food that is
adequately packed and provided with complete data and stored
in freezers where the temperature never rises above 0°F.
Do not buy packages of food covered 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.

time of frozen foods
15
Defrosting frozen food
Making ice
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as
possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy
microorganisms that rapidly activate after defrosting and make
foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially
fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.
Remove the cap from ice tray (certain models only) and fill it to
the mark with filtered cold water. Close it and place it on the door
shelf. Ice tray can freeze 8 cubes.
Ice cubes are discharged from the tray by turning the tray upside
down and placing it under cold running water. Shake the tray,
open the cover and pour the ice out.
Defrosting the appliance
Automatic defrosting of
the refrigerator
Defrosting of NO FROST
freezer
The appliance needs no special defrosting procedure, because
ice deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice deposited on the inner back wall during 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 of excessive ice deposits at the
inner rear wall of the refrigerator (thickness of 1/4″), switch the
appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button and defrost it
manually.
• Defrosting of NO FROST freezer is automatic. Periodic
appearance of frost layer eventually disappears 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.
16
Cleaning
Prior to any cleaning, disconnect the appliance (turn the
thermostat button to the position
and pull the power cord from the
electrical outlet). Special antibacterial protection in the top layer of the
inner walls prevents growth of bacteria and keeps the interior clean
and germ free. Make sure to remove traces of any cleaning agents
you may have been using.
• To clean any surface, use a soft cloth.
• Clean the exterior of the appliance with water and mild liquid
detergent.
• For cleaning of plastic, coated, or aluminum parts avoid using
abrasive or special cleansing agents (like stainless steel
polish), otherwise you may damage the surface.
• Clean coated and aluminum surfaces using the soft cloth and
an alcohol-based cleaning agent (like glass cleaner).
• Wash the interior of the appliance with mild liquid detergent and
lukewarm water, mixed with a little vinegar.
• The groove and drain outlet located below the cooling panel at the
rear wall collect the drained water, so should not be clogged (e.g.
with food particles). Make sure you inspect them periodically and
clean if necessary (use a plastic straw to free the outlet hole).
• The condenser on the rear wall must always be kept clean and
free of dust or kitchen fume deposits. Therefore clean off the
dust periodically with a non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Also clean the drip pan above the compressor. If you removed
the pan, please make sure you replace it in the same position,
and check that it is completely horizontal!
• After cleaning, switch the appliance on and reload the food.
17
Troubleshooting guide
Problem Cause/Remedy
The appliance does not operate
after connection to the power line:
Cooling system operates
continuously without intermittent
stoppages:
•
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 (something caught in door gasket,
sagging door, check gasket sealing, etc.).
•
Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at one time.
• Refrigerator sensor (A) is blocked with fresh food. Free
the sensor and allow air to circulate around it (certain
models only).
•
Check air circulation for sufficient cooling of the
compressor, and clean the condenser.
Excessive ice formation at
the rear interior wall of the
refrigerator:
•
Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
•
Inserting hot food in the refrigerator.
•
Food or dish is touching the rear interior panel of the
refrigerator.
•
Bad door sealing; clean or replace the gasket if dirty or
damaged.
Build-up of ice or frost in the
freezer interior may be a result of
the following:
Water dripping from the
appliance:
Red light is flashing (freezer
compartment only):
• 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.
•
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).
•
Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
•
Door not closed properly (something caught in door gasket,
sagging door, damaged gasket, etc.).
•
Excessively long power failure.
•
Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at one time.
Difficult door opening:
•
If you attempt to open the door of the freezer immediately
after it has been closed you may experience resistance.
This happens because a certain quantity of cold air escapes
from the appliance through the open door and is replaced
by warm ambient air. Cooling of such air creates negative
pressure (vacuum) and suction, which prevents easy
opening of the door. This is normalized after several
minutes and you can open the door with ease.
18
Problem Cause/Remedy
Bulb replacement:
•
Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance
from the power supply. Using a screwdriver, remove the
cover, replace the bulb with a new one (E 14, max. same
voltage as the factory bulb) and fit back the cover.
•
Don’t forget: the old bulb is not organic waste.
•
The light bulb is a consumable item and is not covered by
the warranty.
Green LED is flashing:
•
If the green LED is flashing, call the nearest service center.
Troubleshooting helpful hints:
•
If you are not able to fix the trouble by any of the
above tips, turn the thermostat button to the position
and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Wait
10 minutes, and reconnect the appliance.
Should none of the above guidelines be helpful, please call
for service assistance, quoting information given on the
rating plate either within or at rear of your appliance.
Noise level
Cooling of refrigerator-freezer appliances is provided by a compressor cooling system (for certain
appliances, also the fan). Operation of this system results in a certain amount of noise, the
intensity of which depends upon the installation, correct use, and age of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor (the refrigerant flow) may be
somewhat louder. This does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance, nor does it
have any influence on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced and
eventually subsides.
• Sometimes the appliance produces unusual and stronger noises. These noises are often the
consequence of inadequate positioning of the appliance:
- The appliance should be placed on a flat and firm base.
- It should not touch the wall or 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, cans and other vessels that might touch each other and rattle.
