• The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers m
ust be dry before being placed in the fridge.
• 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 is level.
The edges of the fridge 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.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the appliance in or
restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is located at the rear of the appliance. Therefore, water droplets or ice
may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor at specified intervals.
This is normal, there is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless there is excessive ice.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long period of time (such as during the summer holidays),
disconnect the appliance from the mains, defrost and clean your fridge, leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of mildew and odour.
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the above instructions, please consult the nearest
authorised service centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed
for domestic use only. It is not suitable for commercial or
common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with this, we emphasise that
the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee
period.
Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source
(radiator, cooker, etc.). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen
food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This will help to save energy. If the
frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.
4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases in the
appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve
smell and taste.
5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will
enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc.) closed.
7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
8. It is possible to store more food by removing freezer shelf. Energy consumption is declared with maximum
load and without freezer shelf.
