• A change in the environment temperature will affect the temperature in the appliance. Adjust the setting with the A dial accordingly. Positions towards the thicker part of the sign mean a lower temperature in the appliance (cooler). Settings towards the thinner part of the sign mean a higher temperature (warmer). • If the temperature of the room where the appliance is installed is below 16 °C, we recommend setting the A dial to the position shown in the figure.
APPLIANCE INTERIOR EQUIPMENT (* EQUIPMENT DEPENDS ON THE MODEL) SHELF • Empty shelves can be distributed as you see fit across the guides in the refrigerator interior without having to remove the shelf from the refrigerator. To only move the shelf to a different 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, first lift it at the front part, hold it at the back part, and pull it out from the appliance.
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.
INTERIOR SIDE OF THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR The shelves mounted on the interior side of the refrigerator door are intended for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt and other smaller packages, tubes, cans, etc. There is a bottle shelf at the lower end of the door. ADJUSTABLE DOOR SHELVES Interior side of the refrigerator door is fitted with shelves intended for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt, and other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. The height of the shelves is adjustable.
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).
RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE Sections in the refrigerator compartment: - Upper part: canned food, bread, wine, pastry etc. - Middle part: dairy products, ready-made meals, desserts, soft drinks, beer, cooked food, etc. - Fruit and vegetable bin: fresh fruit, vegetables, salads, root vegetables, potatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes, sauerkraut, turnips etc. Sections in the refrigerator compartment door: - upper/middle door bins: eggs, butter, cheese etc.
STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE 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.
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.

STORING FOOD IN THE FreshZone DRAWER (Only some models are fitted with this drawer) In the FreshZone compartment, food stays fresh longer than in a conventional refrigerator, retaining more flavour and nutrients. Decay and loss of mass are slowed down; therefore, fruit and vegetables remain fresh and natural longer. For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully closed.
FREEZING AND STORING FROZEN FOOD FREEZING PROCEDURE i 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, remove all drawers. Place the food directly on the shelves and on the freezer bottom.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING i 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.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE TIME RECOMMENDED STORAGE TIME IN THE FREEZER Type of food fruit, beef vegetables, veal, poultry Venison Pork finely chopped or ground meat bread, pastry, cooked meals, lean fish entrails smoked sausage, fatty fish Time from 10 to 12 months from 8 to 10 months from 6 to 8 months from 4 to 6 months 4 months 3 months 2 months 1 month DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD 782305 Freezing the food does not kill the microorganisms.
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE 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. Make sure the opening in the back wall in the refrigerator interior is never blocked by food or any other object.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE ! 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.
• 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.
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.
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.
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 affect the useful life of the appliance.
