21
STORING FOOD IN THE
REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE
ii
Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging,
maintaining the right temperature, and observing the food
hygiene standards have a decisive impact on the quality
of food storage.
Observe the expiry dates for the food, indicated on the
packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed
containers or in appropriate packaging to prevent it from
emitting or receiving odours and humidity.
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 a prolonged contact, causing damage and
premature ageing of these materials.
Unpleasant odour warns of lacking cleanliness of the
appliance or perished contents (see chapter Cleaning the
Appliance).
If you are leaving home for a longer period of time,
remove perishables from the refrigerator.
22
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
AVOID CONTAMINATION OF FOOD
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the
temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible
drainage systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is
not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch o, defrost,
clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the
appliance.
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
23
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
• 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 (does not apply to NO
FROST freezers). Do not use any sharp
objects, solvents, or sprays.
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.
24
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:
• 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.
• 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.
• Put food in bags or other packaging with a good
seal.
25
Problem: Cause or remedy:
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).
Door is difficult to open:
• If you are trying to open the 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!
• This product contains a light source of energy
efficiency class G.
E1 will appear on the
display unit
• Temperature sensor of fridge fails. Call a service
centre for repair.
E2 will appear on the
display unit
• Evaporator sensor of fridge fails. Call a service
centre for repair.
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.
26
INFORMATION ABOUT
APPLIANCE NOISE
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 flowing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign
of malfunction and it will not aect 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.
