Storing fresh food Important precautions for storing fresh food 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.
• Fan (optional design depending on the model - under the ceiling or hid beneath the rear panel) improves even distribution of temperature and decreases dew upon storage racks. • Cool water dispenser (available only in certain models on the exterior side of the door) is used for pouring cool water without opening the refrigerator door. Installation: take the tap with pipes from the attached bag and cork the plastic water bottle (1,5 l).
Storing of food in the ZeroZone drawer The ZeroZone drawer provides storage of wide selection of fresh food approximately three times 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. Storage temperature is around 0°C (preset). Temperature may vary between -2°C and +3°C, depending on the temperature variation within the refrigerator.
Food: Storage period Meat: sausages, cold cuts, beef, pork, venison, raw meat up to 7 days poultry up to 5 days fish up to 4 days seafood up to 3 days Vegetables: cabbage, garlic, carrots up to 180 days celery, herbs up to 30 days lettuce, cauliflower, chicory, rhubarb up to 21 days Brussels sprouts, asparagus, kale, Chinese cabbage, turnips, radish up to 14 days onions, mushrooms, spinach, peas up to 7 days Fruit: apples up to 180 days pears, kiwi up to 120 days grapes, quince up t
Defrosting the appliance Automatic defrosting The appliance 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.
Troubleshooting guide 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.
Fault: Cause/Remedy Bulb replacement: • Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance form the power supply. Remove the plastic cover, replace the bulb with a new one (E14, same voltage as the factory one) and fit back the cover. • Don’t discard the old bulb to organic waste. • Light bulb is consumption material and is not covered by the warranty! • Bulb lamps used in this appliance are special purpose lamps selected for household appliances use only.
Noise level The refrigerator - freezer appliances are cooled by the refrigeration system with a compressor, 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.
