reached, the “0°C” indicator will be constantly lit.
· Setting the temperature in the Chill Zone compartment: use the C1 or C2 keys
to set the temperature between -2°C and +3°C.
· The temperatures are approximate and they depend on the temperature settings
in the refrigerator compartment, environment temperature, frequency of door
opening, and amount of food inserted. Setting a highertemperature in the Chill
Zone compartment will also increase the temperature in the refrigerator
compartment, and vice versa. Adjust the setting to the operating conditions.
· If the bottom compartment functions as a Chill Zone, the temperatures in the
refrigerator compartment can only be set in the range from 4°C to +8°C. We
recommendsuch use only when environment temperature is between+16°C and +32°C.

deactivated. · Deactivating the Convert function: press the G key again. A
beep will be sounded, and the
FREEZER CONVERT indicator will no longer be lit.
INFORMATION! The Convert function also affects the temperatures in the Chill
Zone drawer. When this functionis activated, the temperature in the drawer
will not be close to 0°C. Rather, the drawer will function as a fruit and
vegetables bin regardless of the slider setting or position, which may lead to
food spoilage. Therefore, we recommend moving food sensitive to higher
temperatures to a more suitable place.

Appliance interior equipment
( * Equipment depends on the model)
Shelf
1
You can lay out the empty shelves to your liking across the guides in the
refrigerator interior without having to remove them from the refrigerator. To
move the shelf or take it out from the refrigerator, slightly lift it at the
2
back, pull it towards you, and then either move it or take it out of the
appliance. Store quickly perishable food at the back of the shelf where the
temperature is the lowest.
Wire bottle rack *
· Some models also feature a wire 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 nine 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).
Fruit and vegetables 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 humidity in the drawer is regulated automatically, depending on the type
and amount of inserted food.
· Pulling out the bin: – Pull out the bin as far as it will go. Then, lift the
front part and pull it out completely.
Chill Zone drawer *
(Only in some models) The Chill Zone 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 the flavour and
nutrients. The temperature in this drawer depends on the temperature settings
in the refrigerator compartment, environment temperature, frequency of door
opening, and amount of food placed in it.
30
For a temperature around 0 °C in the Chill Zone drawer, we recommend setting
the refrigerator compartment temperature to 4 °C or lower. Temperature in the
Chill Zone 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. · Food sensitive to low temperature and not appropriate
for storage in the Chill Zone drawer include
the following: pineapple, avocado, bananas, olives, potatoes, eggplant,
cucumbers, beans, peppers (capsicum), melons, watermelons, pumpkins, squash,
zucchini etc.
· To remove the drawer: – Pull out the drawer until it is blocked. – Lift it
at the front and pull out completely.
Turning the Chill Zone drawer into a fruit and vegetables drawer *
· If you find you need extra space for your fruit and vegetables, you can turn
your Chill Zone drawer into a fruit and vegetables drawer. · To do this, use
the slider as follows: – To use the drawer as a Chill Zone: push the slider to
the right. – To use the drawer as a fruit and vegetables drawer: move the
slider to the left.
INFORMATION! When the Convert function is activated, the drawer will function
as a fruit and vegetable bin regardless of the slider setting or position.
Even if the slider is set to Chill Zone position, the temperature in the
drawer will not be close to 0 °C, which may lead to food spoilage. Therefore,
we recommend moving food sensitive to higher temperatures to a more suitable
place.
31
Door racks
Interior side of the refrigerator door is fitted with shelves intended for
storing cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt, and other smaller packages, tubes, cans
etc.
You may lay out the racks as desired by lifting them slightly from the grooves
that hold them in place and moving them to the desired spot, making sure to
fit them in the grooves there.
The bottom rack is intended for storing bottles.
Maximum load on each door shelf is 5 kg.
Multi Airflow
· The advanced Multi Airflow fan system evenly distributes the temperature
throughout the entire refrigerator. Air mimics the natural microclimate that
keeps the food fresh for longer. This system also allows placing any type of
food on any shelf in the fridge, as there are not temperature differences
between them.
AdaptTech
Innovative sensor technology allows adjusting appliance operation to the
user’s habits or behaviour. Adaptive intelligent system monitors, analyzes,
and records on a daily and weekly basis the use of appliance and adapts
appliance operation to the perceived patterns. If the appliance is able to
anticipate increased frequency of door opening, the appliance will
automatically lower the temperature before such time to prevent the increase
of food temperature as the door is opened more often. The appliance will also
anticipate adding larger amounts of food into the refrigerator or freezer and
adapt by cooling or freezing more intensively.
32
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. · Chill Zone bin: meat, meat produce,
delicatessen; · Fruit and vegetable bin: fresh fruit, vegetables, salads, root
vegetables, potatoes, onions, garlic,

Freezing and storing frozen food
Freezing procedure
INFORMATION! 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. · Activate the
super freeze function 24 hours before freezing fresh food:
– press the H key.
To make sure the food freezes as quickly as possible, lay out the packages as
described below: · Divide fresh food into smaller packages (1 kg). Place two
packages against the back wall along
the left and right edge of the upper drawer, one package in the middle in
front of them (also in the upper drawer), and one package in the middle
drawer, against the middle of 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.
37
Frozen food storage time
Recommended storage time in the freezer

Storage life 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
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.
38
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. If an
excessive layer of ice is formed on the rear wall of refrigerator interior
(35 mm), switch off the appliance and defrost the appliance manually.
Defrosting a NoFrost freezer
· The NoFrost freezer will defrost automatically. Any frost layer that may
build up occasionally will disappear automatically.
Manual defrosting of a NoFrost freezer
· A layer of frost could build up on the appliance walls despite the NoFrost
feature. This is usually a result of abnormal use of the appliance, such as
too frequent door opening, leaving the door open for too long, poor door seal
etc.
In such case, the freezer can be defrosted manually, according to the
following procedure: · To activate: Simultaneously press and hold the G and H
key. A beep will be sounded, indication CL will appear on the B display unit,
and indication dF will appear on the C display unit. · To deactivate: When the
defrosting process is complete, the function will be deactivated
automatically. Set temperature will be indicated on display units B and C.
WARNING! Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic parts
or harm your health.
WARNING! Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost,
because you may damage a pipe of the cooling system.
39
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.
· 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, 35 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.
· The condenser unit, located next to the compressor unit on the back of the
appliance (only with some models), has to be kept clean, free of dust or other
impurities. Occasionally clean it using a soft non-metal brush or a vacuum
cleaner.
· After cleaning, switch the appliance back on and insert the food.

42
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. 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.
