bottle holder. It is protected against
being inadvertently pulled out. It can
only be pulled out when it is empty.
To pull it out, lift it slightly at the
front and pull it towards you. Place
the bottle holder so that the length
of the bottles does not prevent
proper closing of the door.
The holder can take a maximum load of 9 0.75-litre bottles or 13 kilograms of
total weight – see label on the right side in the appliance interior.
• Cans may also be placed on the bottle rack (lengthwise or crosswise).
• Empty shelves can be distributed
as you see fi t across the guides in
the refrigerator interior without
having to remove the shelf from the
refrigerator.
To only move the shelf to a di erent
height/guide, lift it at the front, hold
it at the back, and move it higher
or lower. To take the shelf from the
refrigerator, fi rst lift it at the front
part, hold it at the back part, and pull
it out from the appliance.
Store quickly perishable food at
the back of the shelf where the
temperature is the lowest.

805160
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE BIN WITH
HUMIDITY CONTROL
• The bin at the bottom of the refrigerator is intended for storing fruit and
vegetables. It provides humidity and prevents the food from drying out. The
bin has integrated humidity regulator which allows setting the humidity level.
Slider position to the right: closed
vents, higher humidity in the bin
Slider position to the left: open vents,
lower humidity in the bin
If you observe droplets accumulating
below the glass shelf, open the vents
and wipe the shelf (see chapter

805160
Switching the fan on and off:
On = Off = 0
When the fan is switched on, a red dot will be visible on the switch.
FAN*
• The fan contributes to more even temperature distribution and faster cooling,
and reduces dew (or condensate) accumulation on the storage surfaces.
• We recommend switching on the fan as an extra function in the following
cases:
- when the room temperature is higher (over 30 °C);
- when humidity is higher or when dew (condensate) accumulates on the
shelves;
- when inserting a large amount of food (rapid cooling).
Note: When the fan is activated, power consumption is increased, temperature
in the refrigerator is lowered, and as a result, the temperature in the freezer
changes as well.
To maintain the same temperature in the refrigerator compartment as before
the fan was activated, we recommend rotating the A knob slightly towards the
. Adjustment of temperature in the refrigerator directly affects the freezer
temperature.

DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
805160
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.
Make sure the opening in the back wall in the refrigerator interior is never
blocked by food or any other object.
If an excessive layer of ice is formed on the rear wall of refrigerator interior
(3–5 mm), switch off the appliance and defrost the appliance manually.
AUTOMATIC REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING
26
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
805160
• Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive
substances, acids, or solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may
damage the surface.
Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of suds.
Lacquer-coated and aluminium surfaces may be cleaned with lukewarm water
to which you have added a mild detergent. Use of cleaners with low alcohol
content is allowed (e.g. window cleaners). Do not use cleaners containing
alcohol for cleaning plastic materials.
• A gutter and an opening for
discharging the water from thawed
frost deposits are located
underneath the cooling panel that
cools the refrigerator interior. The
gutter and the opening may not be
clogged. Inspect them often and
clean if necessary (e.g. with a plastic
straw).
• Frost or ice build-up, 3–5 mm thick,
will increase power consumption.
Therefore, it should be regularly
removed. Do not use any sharp
objects, solvents, or sprays.
• The condenser unit mounted on the
(exterior) back wall should always be
kept clean, free of dust or deposits
resulting from kitchen smoke or
fumes. Occasionally clean the dust
using a soft non-metal brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
• After cleaning, switch the appliance
back on and insert the food.
Appliance interior can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you can
add some vinegar.
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off
the appliance (see chapter Switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet.
!
• Do not wash the parts of appliance interior equipment in a dishwasher as
they may be damaged.
27
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: Cause or remedy
Appliance is connected
to the power mains but
it does not work.
• Make sure there is voltage in the power outlet and
that the appliance is switched on.
Cooling system
operates continuously
for a long period of
time:
A
• Too high environment 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 unit
cooling. Check for sufficient 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:
• Door opened too frequently or too long.
• Warm food placed in the refrigerator.
• Food or containers in contact with the back
interior wall of the refrigerator.
• Poor door sealing.
• If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean or replace it.
Condensate (dew) on
the shelf above the
drawers:
• This is transient phenomenon which cannot be
entirely avoided in periods of high environment
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 in to bags or other airtight
packaging.
Water is dripping/
leaking from the
refrigerator:
• Clogged water discharge opening or water
dripping past the water gutter.
• Clean the blocked opening, e.g. using a plastic
straw.
• If a thick layer of ice builds up, defrost the
appliance manually (see Defrosting the Appliance).
805160
28
Problem: Cause or remedy
Door is difficult to open: • If you are trying to open the appliance 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!
If the above tips do not resolve your problem, call the nearest authorized service
centre and state the type, model, and serial number indicated on the appliance
rating plate or label located in the appliance interior.

Cooling in refrigerator freezers is made possible by a cooling system that also
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 mains, compressor operation,
or the sound of fl owing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign
of malfunction and it will not a ect the useful life of the appliance. In time,
appliance operation and this noise will become quieter.
• Sometimes, unusual or loud noises may appear during appliance operation;
these are mostly the result of improper installation:
- The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
- The appliance may 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 rattling 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 CHANGES THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE
APPLIANCE FUNCTIONALITY.
