Frequently Asked Questions - FN6192PXUK GORENJE

How do I set the temperature on my Gorenje FN6192PXUK freezer?

The temperature is controlled by a dial inside the freezer. Turn it to the desired setting: 1 (warmest) to 4-5 (coldest). The recommended setting is 3 to 4 for -18°C.

What does the error code E1 mean on the display?

The Gorenje FN6192PXUK does not have a digital display; it uses a simple mechanical thermostat. An error code is not applicable. If the freezer is not cooling, check the power supply and thermostat setting.

How often should I defrost the freezer?

Defrost when the ice layer reaches about 5-10 mm thick, typically every 6-12 months. Manual defrost: unplug, remove food, and let ice melt. Clean and dry before restarting.

Why is my freezer making loud noises?

Normal sounds include humming from the compressor and clicking from the start relay. Loud noises may indicate the freezer is not level or something is touching the compressor. Adjust feet and ensure clearance.

Can I freeze hot food in the freezer?

No, allow hot food to cool to room temperature before freezing. Adding warm food raises the internal temperature and can spoil other frozen items.

What is the maximum freezing capacity per 24 hours?

The Gorenje FN6192PXUK can freeze up to 12 kg of fresh food within 24 hours. For best results, spread items evenly and leave space for air circulation.

• The MultiBox bin is convenient for storing food with a strong or pungent smell.
• The silicone lid provides an air-tight seal that prevents the food from drying out and the odour to spread throughout the refrigerator compartment.
• The flexible lid can also be used as an ice tray.

FREEZING PROCESS

Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once is specified on the appliance rating plate. If the amount of food to be frozen exceeds the indicated amount, the quality of freezing will be inferior; in addition, the quality of the food already frozen will deteriorate.

• To make use of the entire freezer volume, remove all drawers.
  Place the food directly on the shelves and on the freezer bottom.
• Activate the super freeze function 24 hours before freezing fresh food: - press the A key repeatedly until the symbol C lights up;

After this time, insert the fresh food into the freezing compartment.

Make sure the fresh food is not in contact with the food that is already frozen! The most suitable place for freezing a large amount of fresh food is the upper section of the freezer.

• When freezing smaller quantities of food (1-2 kilograms), activating the super freeze function is not required.
• After 24 hours, the food can be moved to other freezer compartments and the freezing process can be repeated as necessary.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Only freeze the food that is suitable for freezing in the freezer. Make sure the food you freeze is of high quality and fresh.

Choose appropriate packaging and use the packaging correctly.

Packaging should not be permeable to humidity; it should be airtight to prevent the food from drying out and loss of vitamins.

Label the food; indicate the type of food, amount, and date of freezing.

It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible. Therefore, keep the packages small. Refrigerate the food before freezing.

AVOID CONTAMINATION OF FOOD

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.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

STORAGE OF INDUSTRIALLY FROZEN FOOD

• When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions. Temperature and expiry date are indicated on the packaging.
• Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of -18^ or lower.
• Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates they have been partly defrosted several times and that they are of inferior quality.
• Protect the food from thawing during transport. In case of an increase in temperature, storage time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate.

Recommended storage time in the freezer

Type of food Time
fruit, beef from 10 to 12 months
vegetables, veal, poultry from 8 to 10 months
Venison	from 6 to 8 months
Pork from 4 to 6 months
minced meat 4 months
bread, pastry, ready-to-eat meals, lean 3 months
entrails	2
smoked sausage, fatty fish 1 month

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD

Freezing the food does not kill the microorganisms. After the food is defrosted or thawed, bacteria is re-activated and the food spoils quickly. Use the partially or completely defrosted food as soon as possible.

Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food, particularly fruit, vegetables, and ready-to-eat food.

DEFROSTING A NO FROST FREEZER

• The NO FROST freezer will defrost automatically. Occasional frost that may appear on the walls will disappear automatically.
• Build-up of ice or frost in the freezer compartment can be a result of abnormal use of appliance (door opened too frequently and/or too long, door not properly closed etc.). In this case, unplug the appliance, remove the food from the freezer and protect them from defrosting.

Clean and dry the freezer interior. Before returning the frozen food into the freezer, switch on the appliance and select the desired setting.

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. Lacquer-coated and aluminium surfaces may be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you have added a mild detergent. Use of cleaners with low alcohol content is allowed (e.g. window cleaners). Do not use cleaners containing alcohol for cleaning plastic materials.

Appliance interior can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you can add some vinegar.

Illustration of a hand using a brush to clean a coiled heating element (no text or symbols)

- A gutter and an opening through which the water from thawed ice flows are located underneath the cooling panel that cools the refrigerator interior. The gutter and the opening may not be clogged. Inspect them often and clean if necessary (e.g. with a plastic straw). - Frost or ice build-up, 3-5 mm thick, will increase power consumption. Therefore, it should be regularly removed (does not apply to NO FROST freezer). Do not use any sharp objects, solvents, or sprays.

- The condenser unit mounted on the (exterior) back wall should always be kept clean, free of dust or deposits resulting from kitchen smoke or fumes.. Occasionally clean the dust using a soft non-metal brush or a vacuum cleaner.

• After cleaning, switch the appliance back on and insert the food.

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. Insufficient compressor and condenser cooling. Check the air circulation behind the appliance and clean the condenser unit.
Build-up of ice or frost in the freezer interior may be a result of the following:	Door opened too frequently or too long. Door not properly closed. Poor door sealing. If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean or replace it.
Door is difficult to open: • If you are trying to open the freezer door after just having closed it, this could be difficult to do. As you open the door, some cool air escapes from the appliance and it is replaced by warm air from the environment. When this air is cooled, negative pressure is generated which results in problems as you try to open the door. After a few minutes, the condition is normalized and the door can be easily opened again.
LED lighting does not work:	If LED lighting does not work, call a service technician. Do not attempt a repair of the LED lighting yourself, as there is danger of contact with high voltage!

If none of the instructions above fixes your problem, call the nearest authorized service center and state the type, model, and serial number found on the rating plate/label which is located in the appliance interior.

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. In time, appliance operation and this noise will become quieter.
• Sometimes, unusual or loud noise may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly the result of improper installation:
• The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
• The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.
• Make sure the interior equipment sits firmly in its place and that the noise is not caused by cans, bottles or other containers placed next to each other.
• Due to the higher workload on the cooling system when the door is opened more frequently or for a longer time, when a large amount of fresh food is introduced, or when intensive freezing or cooling functions are activated, the appliance can temporarily generate more noise.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE APPLIANCE.

Instructions for use of the appliance can also be found on our website at www.gorenje.com / http://www.gorenje.com /
