FAN* • The fan placed under the refrigerator compartment ceiling will make sure the temperature is distributed more evenly, and reduce condensation (dew) on the storage surfaces. It is activated automatically when there is need for more intensive cooking. AIR IONIZER (IonAir)* • Advanced fan system with dynamic cooling evenly distributes the ionized air and equalizes the temperature throughout the entire refrigerator.
RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE Sections in the refrigerator compartment: - upper part: canned food, bread, wine, pastry etc. - middle part: dairy products, ready-made meals, desserts, soft drinks, beer, cooked food, etc. - FreshZone bin: - meat, meat produce, delicatessen; - Fruit and vegetable bin: fresh fruit, vegetables, salads, root vegetables, potatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes, sauerkraut, turnips etc.
STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE i Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, maintaining the right temperature, and observing the food hygiene standards have a decisive impact on the quality of food storage. Observe the expiry dates for the food, indicated on the packaging. Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed containers or in appropriate packaging to prevent it from emitting or receiving odours and humidity.
AVOID CONTAMINATION OF FOOD 829705 To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions: • Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance. • Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems. • Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.

STORING FOOD IN THE FreshZone DRAWER (Only in some models) In the FreshZone compartment, food stays fresh longer than in a conventional refrigerator, retaining more flavour and nutrients. Decay and loss of mass are slowed down; therefore, fruit and vegetables remain fresh and natural longer. For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully closed. • When buying food, make sure it is fresh as this will determine the quality of the food, as well as how long it will keep in the fridge.
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE AUTOMATIC REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING Refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall is thawed automatically. Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive. Drops will flow through an opening in the refrigerator rear wall into a tray fitted above the compressor, from where they will evaporate. Make sure the opening in the back wall in the refrigerator interior is never blocked by food or any other object.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE ! Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off the appliance (see chapter Switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. • Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive substances, acids, or solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may damage the surface. Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of suds.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: Cause or remedy: Appliance is connected to the power mains but it does not work. • Make sure there is voltage in the power outlet and that the appliance is switched on. Cooling system operates continuously for a long period of time: • Too high environment temperature. • Door opened too frequently or too long. • Door not closed correctly (possible impurities on the seal, misaligned door, damaged seal etc.). • Too much fresh food inserted at once.
Problem: Cause or remedy: Indicator D flashes: • Door opened too frequently or too long. • Door not closed correctly (possible impurities on the seal, misaligned door, damaged seal etc.). • An extended power failure. • Too much fresh food inserted at once. Door is difficult to open: • If you are trying to open the refrigerator door after just having closed it, this could be difficult to do.
INFORMATION ABOUT APPLIANCE NOISE Cooling in refrigerator freezers is made possible by a cooling system that also includes a compressor (and a fan with some appliances), which generates some noise. The level of noise depends on installation, proper use, and age of the appliance. • After connecting the appliance to the power mains, compressor operation, or the sound of flowing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign of malfunction and it will not affect the useful life of the appliance.
