The doors are not opening or closing properly
Check if:
•
There is food or packaging preventing the door from
closing
•
The door compartments, shelves and drawers are
placed properly
•
The door gaskets are broken or torn
•
Your fridge is level.
The edges of the fridge/freezer in contact with the door
joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm weather), the surfaces in
contact with the door joint may become warmer during
operation of the compressor. This is normal.

Important:
In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged
and plugged in again, the gas in the cooling system of your
appliance will destabilise, causing the compressor protective
thermal element to open.
Your appliance will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time
(such as during holidays), disconnect the plug. Defrost and
clean the appliance, leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of mildew and odour.
If the problem persists after you have followed all the
instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorised
Service Centre.
This appliance is designed for domestic use and for the stated
purposes only. It is not suitable for commercial or common
use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does
not comply with these instructions, we emphasise that the
manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any
repair or failure within the guarantee period.
The lifetime of your appliance stated and declared by the
Department of the Industry is 10 years (the period for
retaining parts required for the proper functioning of the
appliance).
Tips for saving energy
1.
Install the appliance in a cool, wellventilated room, but
not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (such
as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate
should be used.
2.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them
inside the appliance.
3.
Place thawing food in the appliance compartment. The
low temperature of the frozen food will help cool the
appliance compartment while the food is thawing. This
will save energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the
appliance will result in a waste of energy.
4.
Drinks or other liquides should be covered when inside
the appliance. If left uncovered, the humidity inside the
appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses
more energy. Keeping drinks and other liquids covered
helps preserve their smell and taste.
5.
Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and
opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter
the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on
unnecessarily often.
6.
Keep the covers of the different temperature
compartments ( such as the crisper and chiller) closed.
7.
The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace
gaskets if worn.
Service alarm
n
If an alarm light illuminates, contact an authorised
service centre.
n
Press the ‘s.saver’ button to switch the alarm sound
off when there is an alarm and an exclamation mark
on the display. The exclamation mark will continue
to show on the electronic display panel until the
error is fixed.
Temperature Adjustment Warnings
•
It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in
environments colder than 16°C in terms of its efficiency.
•
Do not start another adjustment while you are already
making an adjustment.
•
Temperature adjustments should be made according
to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food
kept inside the fridge and the ambient temperature in
the location of your fridge.
•
In order to allow your fridge to reach the operating
temperature after being connected to mains, do not
open the doors frequently or place large quantities of
food in the fridge. Please note that, depending on the
ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your
fridge to reach the operating temperature.
•
A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage
to the compressor of your fridge when connecting or
disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown
occurs. Your fridge will begin to operate normally after
5 minutes.
•
Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient
temperature (T/SN = 16°C - 43°C) intervals stated in
the standards. We do not recommend operating your
appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms
of cooling effectiveness.
NOTE:
If the ambient temperature is higher than 42°C, the
compartment temperature cannot be set to -23°C or -24°C. It
can only be set to -16°C, -17°C, -18°C, -19°C, -20°C -21°C or -22 °C.
