Low-temperature drawer *
(Only in some models)
The compartment allows storing a wide variety of fresh food for up to three times longer than in a
conventional refrigerator. The food stays fresh longer, retaining its flavour and nutrients. The temperature
in this drawer depends on the temperature settings in the refrigerator compartment, ambient
temperature, frequency of door opening, and amount of food placed in it.
For a temperature around 0 °C in the drawer, we recommend setting the refrigerator compartment
temperature to 4 °C or lower. Temperature in the drawer may fall below 0 °C. Therefore, place the
temperature-sensitive food in the upper parts of the refrigerator.
For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully closed.
• When buying food, make sure it is fresh as this will determine the quality of the food, as well as
how long it will keep in the fridge.
• Store the food in closed containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from emitting or
receiving odours and humidity.
• Take the food from the drawer 30 to 60 minutes before use to allow the aroma and flavour develop
at room temperature.
24
• Foods sensitive to low temperature that are not appropriate for storage in the drawer include the
following: pineapples, avocado, bananas, olives, potatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, beans, peppers
(capsicum), melons, watermelons, squash...
• To remove the drawer:
Pull out the drawer until it is blocked.-
- Lift it at the front and pull out completely.
Fruit and vegetable drawer with humidity control *
• The drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator is intended for storing fruit and vegetables. It provides
humidity and prevents the food from drying out. The drawer has a humidity regulator which allows
setting the humidity level.
Position of the button towards High Humidity: higher humidity in the
drawer.
Position of the button towards Low Humidity: lower humidity in the
drawer.
If you observe droplets accumulating below the glass shelf, open the
vents and wipe the shelf (see chapter TROUBLESHOOTING).

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.
• Activate the super freeze function 24 hours before freezing fresh food:
- switch on the intensive freezing mode by pressing F.
• To make sure the food freezes as quickly as possible, lay out the packages as described below:
- Pack fresh food in smaller packages (1 kg). Place four packages in the top drawer, one in
each corner of the drawer, and one package in the bottom drawer, centred against the back
wall.
Make sure the fresh food is not in contact with the food that is already frozen.
• When freezing smaller amounts of food (1-2 kilograms), activating the super freeze function is not
required.
Important warnings on freezing
INFORMATION!
Only use the freezer to freeze food appropriate for freezing. Always use quality and fresh food.
Select the most suitable packaging for the food and use the packaging correctly.
Make sure the packaging is air and water tight so that the food does not dry out and loose its
vitamins.
Indicate the type of food, amount, and date of freezing on the packaging.
It is important that the food freezes quickly. Therefore, smaller packages are recommended.
Refrigerate the food before freezing.
Storing industrially frozen food
• When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions. Temperature and
expiry date are indicated on the packaging.
• Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of –18 °C or
lower.
• Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates it has been partly thawed several times
and that it is of inferior quality.
• Protect the food from thawing during transport. In case of an increase in temperature, storage
time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate.

Thawing frozen food
• Thawing is an important step in storing food preserved by freezing. Food must be thawed in the
correct way.
• Suitable methods of thawing food are:
- in the refrigerator;
- in cold water;
- in a microwave or conventional oven with a suitable thaw program.
• Some frozen products can be prepared without needing to thaw them first. The manufacturer will
state this on the packaging.
• The food needs to be packed in small portions. In this way the food thaws faster.
• Use partially or completely thawed food as quickly as possible. The bacteria in thawed food are
reactivated and the food will spoil rapidly. This applies in particular to fruit, vegetables and
ready-made food.
• Do not refreeze partially or completely thawed food.
30
Defrosting the appliance (Total NoFrost)
The modern Total NoFrost technology in the freezer compartment prevents the formation of ice and
the accumulation of frost on foods, thus enabling economical operation, greater transparency and full
use of space.
In the refrigerator compartment, it prevents food from drying out, as it maintains its humidity and
freshness.
Defrosting of the refrigerator and freezer compartment is automatic, eliminating the need for
time-consuming manual defrosting and cleaning.
31
Cleaning the appliance
WARNING!
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.
• 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.
Appliance interior can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you can add some vinegar.
• Do not wash the parts of appliance interior equipment in a dishwasher as they may be damaged.
• After cleaning, switch the appliance back on and insert the food.
32
Troubleshooting
Cause or remedy:Problem:
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:
• 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).
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.
Build-up of ice or frost in
the freezer interior:
• The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.
• The door is not properly closed.
• The door has a poor seal (the gasket is dirty, the door is not
properly aligned, the gasket is damaged etc.).
• Manually defrost the appliance.
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.
• Put food in bags or other packaging with a good seal.
Droplets on the refrigerator
compartment back wall.
• This is normal. The refrigerator compartment is defrosted
automatically, which results in droplets of water that flows through
an opening in the refrigerator compartment back wall into a tray
above the compressor unit, from which it evaporates.
33
Table continued from last page
Cause or remedy:Problem:
• 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).
Water is dripping/leaking
from the refrigerator:
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.
Appliance sides are warm:
• This is normal. There are pipes and tubes installed in the appliance
sides, which tend to heat up during appliance operation.
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!
The display shows C1:
• The error C1 is displayed if the freezer compartment door is open

Information about appliance noise
Cooling in refrigerators and freezers is made possible by a refrigeration system with a compressor
(and, in some appliances, fans and air dampers), which also generates some noise. The intensity of
noise depends on the installation, correct use and age of the appliance.
• After the appliance is started, the compressor operation or the coolant flow during operation may
be louder (buzzing, humming and liquid noises). This is not a sign of malfunction and does not
affect the service life of the appliance. Over time, with the operation of the appliance, the volume
of these noises decreases.
• NoFrost appliances periodically melt ice, and there may be knocking and squeaking noises due
to ice falling into the drain chute and water dripping onto the defrost heater. Cracking noises may
also occur due to expansion and contraction of various components due to major temperature
changes. All these sounds are normal and do not affect the service life of the appliance.
• When closing the door, there may be a humming noise due to the pressure in the appliance
equalising.
• 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.
