proper functioning of the appliance.
Do not store fruit (bananas, pineapples, papaya, citrus fruits) and vegetables
(courgettes, tomatoes, aubergines, cucumber, sweet peppers and potatoes) that
are sensitive to low temperatures in the refrigerator.
Freezer compartment
- For freezing fresh food and to store frozen foods.
Do not store lettuce, eggs, apples, pears, grapes, peaches, yoghurt,
buttermilk, sour cream or mayonnaise in the freezer.
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 off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
Storing fresh food in the refrigerator
Important recommendations for storing fresh food
-
To ensure the quality of fresh food, it is important that:
▷ the food is well-packaged;
▷ the appliance is at the correct temperature;
▷ the appliance is clean. -
Take good note of the use-by date stated on the food packaging.
-
Put food in the refrigerator in sealed containers or in suitable packaging. This will prevent the food from picking up or spreading odours and will keep it dry.
-
Do not store flammable, unstable or explosive materials in the refrigerator.
-
Store bottles that have been opened upright and close them tightly.
-
Some organic solutions, such as essential oils, in the skin of lemons and oranges, and butyric acid, that come into long-term contact with plastics can eat into the material and cause premature ageing.
-
A disagreeable odour is an indication that the appliance is not clean or that it contains food that has spoiled (see the chapter ‘Maintenance’).
-
Take perishable foods out of the refrigerator when you will be away from home for a longer time.
Freezing and storing foods in the freezer
Important recommendations for freezing fresh food
- The maximum quantity of food that you can put in the freezer in one go is stated on the type plate. Putting more than this maximum quantity of food into the freezer will slow the freezing process and reduce the quality. Moreover, this will also harm the quality of frozen food already stored in the freezer.
- Use only good-quality fresh food that is suitable for freezing.
- Allow hot food to cool to room temperature.
- Food needs to be frozen quickly. It is recommended that you use small packs.
- Use air and watertight packaging to prevent the food from drying out and lose its vitamins.
- Note the type and quantity of the food on the packaging, together with the date on which it was frozen.
- Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with frozen food.
Freezing large quantities of fresh food
- Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to freeze the food.
Important recommendations for storing frozen food
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the storage and use of frozen food. Take note of the recommended storage temperature and use-by date stated on the packaging.
- Use only food in undamaged packaging that has been stored at a temperature of -18 °C or lower.
- Do not buy food covered in frost. This indicates that the food has thawed or partially thawed several times and, as a result, is of inferior quality.
- Make sure that the food does not thaw during transport. An increase in its temperature will shorten the storage life and harm the quality of the food.
Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer
Type of food | Storage life |
---|---|
Fruit, beef | 10 to 12 months |
Vegetables, veal, poultry | 8 to 10 months |
Venison | 6 to 8 months |
Pork | 4 to 6 months |
Finely chopped or minced meat | 4 months |
Bread, pastas, cooked dishes, whitefish | 3 months |
Offal | 2 months |
Smoked sausage, bluefish | 1 month |
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.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Defrosting the appliance
Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment
The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time. The
presence of water drops on the back wall at the inside of the refrigerator
indicates that the appliance is busy defrosting automatically. The defrost
water runs through the drain channel to a receptacle where it evaporates.
Ensure that the drain outlet is clean. You can clean a clogged drain with a
satay stick, for example.
Defrosting the frozen compartment
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the frozen
compartment. The frost, accumulated in the frozen compartment, should be
removed periodically. If the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm, it is necessary to
defrost the frozen compartment completely to maintain the efficiency of the
frozen compartment.
Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to defrost
the freezer.
- Before defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
- Switch off the appliance.
- Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the compartment.
- Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
- Water collected at the bottom basket of the appliance should be mopped with a sponge or highly absorbing cloth.
- Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.
- Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to the lowest temperature setting. After 24 hours, set the thermostat to the normal position.
Warning
Never remove ice layer with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hairdryer, an
electric heater or something similar. This can be unsafe and cause irreparable
damage to the appliance.
Cleaning the appliance
Switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the mains before you start
cleaning it.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the surface.
Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to clean the
appliance.
- Before cleaning, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
- Regularly clean the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water. If so required, add a neutral cleaning agent or special refrigerator cleaner to the water. Clean all surfaces with a soft cloth. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth with clean water and then dry them thoroughly.
- Do not put parts of the appliance in a dishwasher: this could damage them.
- Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to the lowest temperature setting. After 24 hours, set the thermostat to the normal position.
- Clean the outside using a soft cloth.
- Regularly clean the air vents of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or a brush.
When you are not going to use the appliance for a longer period then switch it off and disconnect it from the mains. Empty, defrost and clean the appliance, and leave the door ajar.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Faults table
When you have any doubts about whether your appliance is working properly you
should not immediately assume that it is defective. We recommend that you
should in any case check the points in the following table.
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.| •The ambient
temperature is too high.
•The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.
•The door is not closed properly.
•The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is misaligned or
the seal is damaged, etc.).
•Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.
•Insufficient air circulation around the compressor and condenser. Check that
the ventilation around the appliance is sufficient (see the separate
installation instructions).
Excessive build-up of ice on the back wall of refrigerator interior.| •The
ambient temperature is too high.
•The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.
•The door is not closed properly.
•The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is misaligned or
the seal is damaged, etc.).
•Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.
•Do not place warm food in the refrigerator.
•Insufficient air circulation around the compressor and condenser. Check that
the ventilation around the appliance is sufficient (see the separate
installation instructions).
Excessive ice formation in the freezer.| •Freezer compartment is not
periodically defrosted. Defrost the freezer compartment to remove the ice.
•Door opened too frequently or too long.
•Door not properly closed.
•The door does not seal properly. If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean or
replace it.
Condensation on the glass shelf above the fruit and vegetable bin in the
refrigeration compartment.| •Check that the door is closed properly and seals
properly.
•This is a temporary problem that cannot be avoided entirely in periods of
high ambient temperatures and high humidity. The problem disappears when the
temperature and humidity return to normal levels. We recommend that you clean
the fruit and vegetable bin more frequently and occasionally wipe off any
drips.
•Pack food in bags or other air-tight packaging.
Water leaking from the refrigerator.| •Clogged water discharge opening or
water dripping past the water gutter.
•Clean the clogged opening, for example using a plastic straw.
•If a thick layer of ice builds up, defrost the appliance manually (see
‘Defrosting the Appliance’).
The door does not open easily.| •You are trying to open the appliance’s door
just after you have closed the door. Then opening the door is difficult. When
you open the door, cold air escapes from the appliance and is replaced by warm
air from the surroundings. As this air cools a slight vacuum is created that
makes it more difficult to open the door. The situation returns to normal
after a few minutes, and the door opens easily again.
Some or all of the LED lighting does not work.| •Consult a service technician
about LED lighting that is not working. For safety reasons, you are not
allowed to repair LED lighting yourself.
•This product contains a light source of energy efficiency class G.
Appliance makes a noise.| •The appliance is cooled by a refrigeration system
with a compressor (and with some models, also a fan) that makes a noise. The
noise level depends on the installation of the appliance, its correct use and
its age.
•When you connect the appliance to the power supply the noise made by the
compressor or flowing refrigerant may be slightly louder. This is not
indicative of a defect, and has no effect on the service life of the
appliance. The appliance will make less noise after a while.
•The appliance may be temporarily noisier after the door has been opened for
too long or too frequently, a large quantity of fresh food has been put in the
appliance or the intensive freezing or intensive cooling function has been
activated.
Error code EO, El or E2 is shown in the display.| •A sensor is defective. Call
the service centre to make an appointment for repair work. The appliance
operates in the safe mode until it has been repaired. The appliance
automatically retains the most suitable temperature for each compartment.
If you are unable to solve the problem then contact the service centre. When you do so, state the type, model and serial number shown on the type plate or label on the inside of the appliance.
