For safety reasons, dew prevention kit may only be installed by an authorized service technician! Order code: 376078 (appliances higher than 1,700 mm) • The appliance is fitted with spacers to be mounted on the top edge of the condenser. They prevent the rear of the appliance to be pushed too close to the wall.
Connecting to power supply • Use the power cord to connect the appliance to the mains power. Wall outlet must be fitted with ground terminal (safety socket). Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the relevant label or rating plate of the appliance. • Mains power connection and grounding must be made in line with standing regulations and local requirements. The appliance is able to accommodate minor temporary voltage tolerances, but they may not exceed -6% to +6%.
Control panel - appliance with electronical regulation CONTROL UNIT I A Digital temperature display (certain models only) of the refrigerator indicates actual temperatures during the operation from +1°C to +9°C. B ON/OFF and temperature setting button C Orange LED: illuminated during fan operation (knob D).
• In case of exceptionally higher ambient temperatures it is recommended to switch the fan operation at high speed by pressing button (D) – only for models featuring control panel I. • SF/SC position - SF position stands for “Super frost” and indicates fast freezing (certain models only). - SC position stands for “Super cool” and indicates fast cooling (certain models only).
CONTROL UNIT II Valve and no frost system appliance A Freezer temperature setting button B Freezer temperature digital display: indicates temperature span between -16°C and -24°C.
Temperature setting • • • • Other settings Refrigerator temperature setting span +1°C do +9°C Freezer temperature setting span -16°C to -24°C + fast freeze Freezer temperature is set by the button (A), and refrigerator temperature by the button (N). When you press one of temperature setting buttons, the digital display starts flashing and indicates the last selected temperature. Temperature setting is changed by short sequence pressing of the button in steps of 1°C.
Intermittent sound signal – power failure alarm If the refrigerator or freezer temperature increases excessively due to power failure, this is signaled by the sound alarm (intermittent beep), red light is on, and the display indicates flashing maximum temperature digit (max. 9°C for the refrigerator). Fast cooling of the refrigerator The function of fast cooling of the refrigerator interior is activated by pressing the button (K) – orange LED is on (L).
Refrigerator accessories (Equipment depends on the model) Shelf • Shelves can be optionally placed on the guides inside the appliance.

Storage of food in the refrigerator Important precautions and hints • Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and hygienic precautions produce substantial impact on the quality of stored food. • Always respect the best before date, printed on the packaging. • Food to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent emission and/or reception of moisture and odors. • Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances.
Storage of food in the FreshZone 230441 The FreshZone 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.
Freezing and storage of frozen food Storage procedure • Activate the fast freeze function for continuous operation 24 hours prior intended freezing. - control unit I: with knob B, position SF/SC; - control unit II: with key C; Upon expiry of this period insert fresh food in the freezing compartment. Do not let the already frozen packages touch the fresh ones.
• 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. Storage of industrially frozen food 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.
Defrosting the appliance Automatic defrosting of the refrigerator 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.
Cleaning the appliance 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.
Troubleshooting guide Fault: Cause/Remedy The appliance does not • Check if there is power in the socket and if the appliance is operate after connection to the switched on. mains: 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.
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).
