The fridge doors are opened frequently.
Humidity of the room will enter the
fridge each time the doors are opened.
Humidity increases faster if the doors
are opened frequently, especially if the
humidity of the room is high.
• There is a build-up of water droplets
on the rear wall. This is normal after
automatic defrosting (in Static Models).
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 - freezer 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 Notes:
• In the case of a power failure, or if
the fridge - freezer is unplugged and
plugged in again, the gas in the cooling
system of your fridge - freezer will
destabilise, causing the compressor
protective thermal element to open.
Your fridge - freezer will start to operate
normally after 5 minutes.
• If the fridge - freezer will not be used for
a long period of time (such as during
holidays), disconnect the plug. Defrost
and clean the fridge - freezer, 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 fridge - freezer 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 fridge - freezer 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.
8 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
1.
Install the fridge - freezer in a cool, well-
ventilated 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
fridge - freezer.
3.
Place thawing food in the fridge
compartment. The low temperature of
the frozen food will help cool the fridge
compartment while the food is thawing.
This will save energy. Frozen food left to
thaw outside of the fridge - freezer will
result in a waste of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquids should be covered
when inside the fridge - freezer. If left
uncovered, the humidity inside the
fridge - freezer will increase, therefore
the fridge - freezer 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 fridge - freezer 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.
