Observe the expiry dates for the food, specified on the packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from emitting or receiving odors.
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 prolonged contact, causing damage and premature aging of these materials.
An unpleasant odor warns of lacking cleanliness of the appliance or perished contents (see Cleaning the Appliance).
If you are leaving home for a longer period of time, remove perishables from the refrigerator.
AVOID CONTAMINATION OF FOOD
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a signifi cant increase in 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 fi sh 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 mold from developing within the appliance.

FOOD STORAGE TIMES
Recommended storage time in the refrigerator

DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE

AUTOMATIC REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING
The 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. The droplets are collected in a groove/gutter, drained through a hole, and discharged into a tray at the bottom of the appliance base.
If an excessive layer of ice is formed on the rear wall of the refrigerator interior (3-5 mm), switch off the appliance and defrost the appliance manually.
In this case, it is also advisable to empty the condensate tray on the bottom of the appliance.

• Remove the cabinet kickplate.
• Reach into the openings on the switchboard and release the latch.
• Pull the plate towards you and remove it.
• Remove the condensate tray and empty it.

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. Lacquer- coated and aluminum 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.
The appliance interior can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you can add some vinegar.

• A gutter and an opening through which the water from thawed ice flows 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 them 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. Do not use any sharp objects, solvents, or sprays.

• To vacuum the dust from the condenser unit: – Remove the cabinet kickplate.
  – Reach into the openings on the switchboard and release the latch.
  – Pull the plate towards you and remove it.
  – Pull out the condensate tray.
  – Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust from the condenser unit.
  – Replace the condensate tray and the switchboard by observing the reverse order.

• After cleaning, switch the appliance back on and insert the food.

TROUBLESHOOTING

sure there is voltage in the power outlet and that the appliance is switched on.
The 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 is inserted at once.
• Insufficient compressor and condenser unit cooling. Clean the condenser unit.
Excessive build-up of ice on the back wall of the refrigerator interior can be a result of the following:| • Door opened too frequently or too long.
• Warm food placed in the refrigerator.
• Food in contact with the back interior wall of the refrigerator.
• Poor door sealing.
• If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean it or replace it.
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 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.
Replacing the bulb:
| • Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the appliance from the power mains (unplug the power cord from the wall outlet/socket). Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the cover, lift it and remove it. Replace the bulb with a new
one (E14, same power rating as the one provided by the manufacturer) and replace the cover.
• Do not dispose of the blown bulb with organic waste.
• The bulb is considered consumable and is excluded from any warranty!
• Bulb lamps used in this appliance are special purpose lamps selected for household appliance use only. They are not suitable for household room illumination.
Sound alarm:
| • Excessive dust on the condenser unit is signaled by a sound alarm heard whenever the appliance door is opened until the default is removed.
• Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings and clean or vacuum the dust from the condenser if necessary. See section CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.

If none of the instructions above fixes your problem, call the nearest authorized service center and state the type, model, and serial number found on the rating plate/label which is located in the appliance interior.

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 the age of the appliance.

• After connecting the appliance to the power mains, compressor operation, or the sound of fl owing 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 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 MAKE CHANGES THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE APPLIANCE.
