If you switch off the alarm by pressing the A key, the alarm will be reactivated in 4 minutes if the door is still open.

APPLIANCE INTERIOR EQUIPMENT

(*EQUIPMENT DEPENDS ON THE MODEL)

SHELF

Empty shelves can be distributed as you see fit across the guides in the refrigerator interior without having to remove the shelf from the refrigerator.

To only move the shelf to a different height/guide, lift it at the front, hold it at the back, and move it higher or lower. To take the shelf from the refrigerator, first lift it at the front part, hold it at the back part, and pull it out from the appliance.

Store quickly perishable food at the back of the shelf where the temperature is the lowest.

WIRE BOTTLE RACK*

- Some models also feature a wire bottle holder. It is protected against being inadvertently pulled out. It can only be pulled out when it is empty. To pull it out, lift it slightly at the back and pull it towards you. Place the bottle holder so that the length of the bottles does not prevent proper closing of the door.

The holder can take a maximum load of nine 0.75-litre bottles or 13 kilograms of total weight – see label on the right side in the appliance interior.

• Cans may also be placed on the bottle rack (lengthwise or crosswise).

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE BIN WITH HUMIDITY CONTROL

- The bin at the bottom of the refrigerator is intended for storing fruit and vegetables. It provides humidity and prevents the food from drying out. The bin has integrated humidity regulator which allows setting the humidity level.

Slider position to the right: closed vents, higher humidity in the bin

Slider position to the left: open vents, lower humidity in the bin

If you observe droplets accumulating below the glass shelf, open the vents and wipe the shelf (see chapter TROUBLESHOOTING).

- Pulling out the bin: - Pull out the bin as far as it will go. Then, lift the front part and pull it out completely.

INTERIOR SIDE OF THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR

The shelves mounted on the interior side of the refrigerator door are intended for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt and other smaller packages, tubes, cans, etc. There is a bottle shelf at the lower end of the door.

ADJUSTABLE DOOR SHELVES

Interior side of the refrigerator door is fitted with shelves intended for storing cheese, butter, eggs, yoghurt, and other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc.

Maximum load on each door shelf is 5 kg.

MultiBox

STORAGE

BIN*

• MultiBox bin offers a convenient way for storing food with a strong or pungent smell, e.g. ripened or blue-vein cheese, sausages, onions, butter etc.
• 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 silicone lid can also be used as an egg or ice tray.
• If the flexible lid is used as an egg tray, place it directly on the bottom of the door bin and use the open lower part of the MultiBox bin to store food in smaller packages – pâté, jams, smaller tubes etc.

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 cooling.

AIR IONIZER (IonAir)*

• Advanced fan system with dynamic cooling evenly distributes the ionized air and equalizes the temperature throughout the entire refrigerator. Air enriched with extra negative ions mimics the natural microclimate that keeps the food fresh for longer. Moreover, any type of food can be placed on any shelf in the fridge as there are no temperature differences. • To switch the air ionizer on and off, use the switch located on the fan housing.

Switching the ionizer on/off

When the ionizer is switched on, a red dot will be visible on the switch.

PersonalSystem

Innovative sensor technology allows adjusting appliance operation to the user's habits or behaviour. Adaptive intelligent system monitors, analyzes, and records on a daily and weekly basis the use of appliance and adapts appliance operation to the perceived patterns. If the appliance is able to anticipate increased frequency of door opening, the appliance will automatically lower the temperature before such time to prevent the increase of food temperature as the door is opened more often. The appliance will also anticipate adding larger amounts of food into the refrigerator or freezer and adapt by cooling or freezing more intensively.

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.

Sections in the refrigerator compartment door:

• Upper/middle door bins: eggs, butter, cheese, etc.
• Lower door bins: beverages, cans, bottles.

Do not store fruit (bananas, pineapples, papaya, citruses) and vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes) sensitive to low temperatures in the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE

Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, maintaining the right temperature, and observing food hygiene standards have a decisive impact on the quality of food storage.

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.
• Store the food in closed containers or appropriate packaging to prevent it from emitting or receiving odours. • Take the food from the drawer 30 to 60 minutes before use to allow the aroma and flavour develop at room temperature.
• Food sensitive to low temperature and not appropriate for storage in the FreshZone drawer includes the following: pineapples, avocado, bananas, olives, potatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, beans, peppers (capsicum), melons, watermelons, pumpkins, squash, zucchini etc.

• To remove the drawer: - Pull out the drawer until it is blocked. - Then, lift it at the front and pull it all the way out.

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.

If an excessive layer of ice is formed on the rear wall of refrigerator interior (3-5 mm), switch off the appliance and defrost the appliance manually.

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.

- Do not wash the parts of appliance interior equipment in a dishwasher as they may be damaged.

- A gutter and an opening for discharging the water from thawed frost deposits 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. 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.

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. Sensor in the refrigerator (A) blocked by fresh food. Make sure the air can circulate around the sensor (only with some models). Insufficient compressor and condenser unit cooling. Check for sufficient air circulation behind the appliance and clean the condenser unit.
Excessive build-up of ice on the back wall of refrigerator interior can be a result of the following:	Door opened too frequently or too long. Warm food placed in the refrigerator. Food or containers in contact with the back interior wall of the refrigerator. Poor door sealing. If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean or replace it.
Condensate (dew) on the shelf above the drawers:	This is transient phenomenon which cannot be entirely avoided in periods of high environment temperature and humidity. It subsides when temperature and humidity are normalized. We recommend cleaning the drawers more frequently and wiping the droplets occasionally. Open the humidity control slider. Put food in bags or other packaging with a good seal.
Water is dripping/ leaking from the refrigerator:	Clogged water discharge opening or water dripping past the water gutter. Clean the blocked opening, e.g. using a plastic straw. If a thick layer of ice builds up, defrost the appliance manually (see Defrosting the Appliance).

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. 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 the above tips do not resolve your problem, call the nearest authorized service centre and state the type, model, and serial number indicated on the appliance rating plate or label 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 noises 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 rattling 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.
