198101

The refrigerator – freezer appliances are cooled by the

refrigeration system with a compressor (assisted by fan in certain

models) whose operation may produce certain noise. The level

of such noise depends upon the location, correct use and age of

the appliance.

•After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor

(the refrigerant ﬂow) may be somewhat louder. This does not

mean that something is wrong with the appliance, neither has

it any inﬂuence on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the

noise is reduced and eventually subsides.

• Sometimes the appliance produces unusual and stronger

noise which is rather unusual for the appliance. This noise

is often the consequence of inadequate positioning of the

appliance:

- The appliance should be placed and leveled ﬁrmly on solid

base.

- It should not touch the wall or adjacent kitchen units

standing next to it.

- Check whether the accessories in the interior of the

appliance are placed correctly in their positions; also check

the bottles, tins and other vessels that might touch each

other and rattle.

THE MANUFACTURER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO

ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO IMPACT TO THE

FUNCTIONAL OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE.

Fault: Cause/Remedy

Bulb replacement: • Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance form the

power supply (pull the power cord from the wall socket).

A – Use the screwdriver to press the locking hook (in arrow

direction), and remove the cover.

B – Insert the screwdriver into the cover slot, lift it and remove the

cover.

Replace the bulb with the equivalent new bulb (E 14, same

voltage as the original one) and replace the cover back to its

position.

• Don’t forget: the old bulb does not belong to organic waste.

• Light bulb is consumption material and is not covered by the

warranty!

Helpful hints • If none of the above proves effective and you can not remove

the fault yourself, disconnect the appliance from the mains ( see

chapter regarding the ON/OFF function), pull the power cord from

the wall socket, wait for approximately 10 minutes and reconnect

the appliance.

If the fault persists call the nearest service center and tell them

the information from the rating plate: type of appliance, model and

serial number, located inside the appliance.

198101

Fault: Cause/Remedy

The appliance does not

operate after connection to the

mains:

• Check if there is power in the socket and if the appliance is

switched on.

Cooling system operates

continuously without

intermittent stoppages:

• Ambient temperature too high.

• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.

• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket, sagged

door, check gasket sealing, etc...).

• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.

• Refrigerator probe (A) is clogged with fresh food. Relocate the

food to provide air circulation around the probe (certain models

only).

• Check air circulation for sufﬁcient cooling of the compressor, and

clean the condenser.

Excessive ice formation at the

rear interior wall of the freezer:

• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.

• Inserting hot food in the freezer.

• Food or dish is touching the rear interior panel of the refrigerator.

• Bad door sealing; clean or replace the gasket if dirty or damaged.

Build-up of ice or frost in the

freezer interior may be a result

of the following:

• Door opened too frequently or too long.

• Door not properly closed.

• Poor door sealing.

• If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean or replace it.

Water dripping from the

appliance:

• Drain outlet is clogged, drain water drips past the collection

groove.

• Clean the clogged outlet using plastic straw.

• Thaw thick ice deposits manually (see chapter Defrosting).

Red signal light ﬂashing (only

freezer):

•Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.

• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket, sagged

door, damaged gasket, etc...).

• Excessively long power failure.

• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.

Difﬁcult door opening: • If you attempt to open the immediately closed door of the freezer

you may experience resistance. This happens because certain

quantity of cold air escapes from the appliance through the open

door and is replaced by warm ambient air. Cooling of such air

creates negative pressure (vacuum) and suction, which prevents

easy opening of the door. Situation is normalized after a few

minutes (5-10), and you can open the door with ease.

Troubleshooting guide

198101

Prior any cleaning attempt disconnect the appliance from the

mains (see the control chapter for ON/OFF function), and pull the

power cord from the mains wall outlet.

Special antibacterial protection in top layer of inner walls

prevents multiplication of bacteria and maintains the interior

clean and germ free.

Make sure to remove traces of any cleansing agents you had

been using.

• Clean the exterior of the appliance with water and liquid detergent.

• Do not use abrasive or aggressive agents (such as stainless steel

cleansers) for cleaning of plastic and coated surfaces as you can

damage them.

• Clean coated and/or aluminum surfaces with soft cloth and

alcohol based cleansing agent (for example glass cleaners).

• Wash the interior of the appliance with liquid detergent and

lukewarm water, mixed with a little vinegar.

• Containers, shelves, and drawers with a decorative proﬁle (metallic

appearance) are not dishwasher safe! They can only be cleaned

with a dissolved liquid detergent and a soft cloth. Do not rub them!

• Groove and drain outlet located underneath the cooling panel at

the rear wall collect the drained water, so they must not be clogged

(with food particles, for example). Make sure you inspect them

periodically and clean if necessary (use plastic straw to free the

outlet hole).

• The condenser on the rear wall must always be clean and free of

dust or kitchen fumes deposits, therefore clean the dust periodically

with non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner..

• Clean also the drip pan above the compressor. If you removed

the pan, please make sure you replace it to the same position, and

check that it is in completely horizontal position!

• Ice and/or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm increase energy

consumption, so you need to remove them regularly (with the

exception of the NO FROST model). Do not use sharp pointed

objects, solvents or sprays.

• After cleaning switch the appliance on and reload the food.

Cleaning the appliance

198101

Refrigerator needs no special defrosting procedure, because ice

deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.

Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor

operation is defrosted when the compressor stops operating,

and condensed water drops are drained through the outlet in the

inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor

where it evaporates. In case you should notice excessive ice

formation at the rear refrigerator panel (3-5 mm thick), switch the

appliance off and thaw it manually.

• Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the freezer reaches

thickness of around 3-5 mm.

• 24 hours before defrosting activate the fast freeze function

(see relevant control chapter depending upon the model of

the appliance – fast freezing) for continuous operation in order

to additionally freeze the food inside. After that period take

the food out of the freezer and protect them from excessive

thawing.

• Switch the appliance off (see the relevant control chapter

for ON/OFF function) and pull the power cord from the wall

socket.

• Place a convenient absorbent cloth underneath to collect the

defrost water and change it periodically.

• Never use powered appliances to defrost the freezer (hair

dryer, etc.) - LIFE THREATENING!

• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to

the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.

• Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry (see chapter

Cleaning).

• Before reloading food into the freezer switch the appliance on.

• Defrosting the NO FROST freezer model is completely

automatic. Periodical appearance of frost deposits disappear

after certain period of time.

• Build-up of ice or frost in the freezer compartment can be

a result of abnormal use of appliance (door opened too

frequently and/or too long, door not properly closed etc.). In

this case, unplug the appliance, remove the food from the

freezer and protect them from defrosting.

Clean and dry the freezer interior. Before returning the frozen

food into the freezer, switch on the appliance and select the

desired setting.

The storage time and recommended temperature for storing

commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. Always

follow manufacturer’s instructions for storage and use of frozen

food. When shopping be careful to choose only food which is

adequately packed and provided with complete data and stored in

freezers where the temperature never rises above -18°C.

Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost. This indicates

that the package was thawed before at least once.

Take care that packages don’t start to thaw during transport to

your home. Temperature rise shortens the storage time and affects

the quality of commercially frozen foods.

Recommended periods of storing frozen food in the freezer

Food Period

Fruit, beef from 10 to12 months

Vegetables, veal, poultry from 8 to 10 months

Venison from 6 to 8 months

Pork from 4 to 6 months

Chopped (minced ) meat 4 months

Bread, pastry, TV-dinners, fat free ﬁsh 3 months

Intestines 2 months

Smoked sausages, fat ﬁsh 1 month

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as

possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy

microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after

defrosting and make foods perishable.

Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially

fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.

• Activate the fast freeze function by pressing the button (C) for

continuous operation 24 hours prior intended freezing.

- control unit I: with knob A, position SUPERFREEZE/

FRESHEXCEL;

- control unit II: with key C;

- mechanical regulation: knob position approximately

between 4 and 6.

Upon expiry of this period insert fresh food in the freezing

compartment. Do not let the already frozen packages touch the

fresh ones.

Be sure to provide the NO FROST freezer models with enough

room below the ceiling for cool air circulation, so avoid storing

food over the marked maximum storage level (see Fig.).

• After 24 hours you may relocate the food to the storage

compartment, and repeat the freezing procedure if required.

You may also remove the drawers and store frozen food

directly on cooling shelves. Do not remove the lower drawer if

you have a NO FROST appliance!

• For freezing smaller quantities of fresh food (1-2 kg), the

engagement of the fast freeze function is not required.

• Freeze only such food which is suitable for freezing and sustain

low temperatures. Food should be of adequate quality and

fresh.

• Select adequate packaging for each kind of food and pack it

correctly.

• The packaging should be air tight and well sealed without

leaking since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and

dehydration.

• Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods

and the date of loading.

• It is imperative that food is frozen as quickly as possible. We

therefore recommend the size of the package not to be too

large and to be cooled before loading into the freezer.

• The amount of the fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer

as a single load is declared on the rating plate. If the loaded

amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which in

turn affects the quality of frozen foods.

The temperature indicator, situated in the coolest part of

refrigerator, helps to control correct temperatures of the

appliance. Adequate temperature is indicated with O.K. mark. If

this mark does not show, the temperature of this compartment

is too high. Use the thermostat to reduce the temperature in a

particular compartment (see chapter “Control of the appliance”).

Do not change the setting too often; before temperature checking

or when setting it anew, please, wait for 12 hours at least.

Remark! After the appliance has been loaded with fresh food,

or when the door is open too frequetnly or for a too long time,

the OK mark will not be visible. The coolest area of refrigerator,

which appears immediately above the shelf covering the crisper

pan, is about 20 cm in height.

The FRESH ZONE drawer provides storage of wide selection

of fresh food longer than in the traditional refrigerator. Food

remains fresh for long time and it preserves its taste and nutritive

ingredients. It reduces decay and loss of mass, so fruit and

vegetables are more fresh and natural. The drawer must be

tightly closed to provide optimum operation.

• Moisture level in the drawer depends upon the moisture of

stored food, and on the frequency of opening the drawer.

• When you buy food check its freshness: quality and durability

of food depends on it.

• Store non-wrapped animal or vegetable food separately, or

wrap it in suitable packages. Be careful to prevent touching

of different types of meat. They should be packed and stored

separately to avoid bacterial decomposition in case meat turns

foul.

• Approximately 30-60 minutes prior use remove food from

the drawer to let its aroma and taste develop at ambient

temperature.

• Food sensitive to low temperatures is not suitable for storage

in the FRESH ZONE drawer: pineapple, avocado, bananas,

olives, potato, eggplant, cucumber, beans, bell pepper,

melons, water melons, pumpkins,...

• Pulling out the drawer:

- open the drawer door (1), hold them in the middle (as

indicated in the photo above) and simultaneously pull it

upwards and towards yourself.

- Pull out the drawer as far as the position indicated in the

ﬁgure (detail A); then, rotate it downwards and pull out

completely.
