• 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.

• 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. Storing fresh food in the refrigerator Important recommendations for storing fresh food

• To ensure the quality of fresh food, it is important that: ▷ the food is well-packaged; ▷ the appliance is at the correct temperature; ▷ the appliance is clean.

• Take good note of the use-by date stated on the food packaging.

• Put food in the refrigerator in sealed containers or in suitable packaging. This will prevent the food from picking up or spreading odours and will keep it dry.

• Do not store flammable, unstable or explosive materials in the refrigerator.

• Store bottles that have been opened upright and close them tightly.

• Some organic solutions, such as essential oils, in the skin of lemons and oranges, and butyric acid, that come into long-term contact with plastics can eat into the material and cause premature ageing.

• A disagreeable odour is an indication that the appliance is not clean or that it contains food that has spoiled (see the chapter ‘Maintenance’).

• Take perishable foods out of the refrigerator when you will be away from home for a longer time.EN 31

STORING AND FREEZING FOOD

Freezing and storing foods in the freezer Important recommendations for freezing fresh food

• The maximum quantity of food that you can put in the freezer in one go is stated on the type plate. Putting more than this maximum quantity of food into the freezer will slow the freezing process and reduce the quality. Moreover, this will also harm the quality of frozen food already stored in the freezer.

• Use only good-quality fresh food that is suitable for freezing.

• Allow hot food to cool to room temperature.

• Food needs to be frozen quickly. It is recommended that you use small packs.

• Use air and watertight packaging to prevent the food from drying out and lose its vitamins.

• Note the type and quantity of the food on the packaging, together with the date on which it was frozen.

• Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with frozen food.

• You can remove all the drawers to make use of the total volume of the freezer compartment. Put the food directly on a shelf and on the base of the freezer. Freezing small quantities of fresh food/making ice cubes See the chapter ‘Recommended distribution’ for the best location for freezing fresh food (1 to 2 kilograms) and making ice cubes. Freezing large quantities of fresh food

• Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to freeze the food.

• Distribute the fresh food equally between all the drawers in the freezer compartment.

• After 24 hours, you can transfer the food to another compartment in the freezer and then freeze a new batch of food. Important recommendations for storing frozen food

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the storage and use of frozen food. Take note of the recommended storage temperature and use-by date stated on the packaging.

• Use only food in undamaged packaging that has been stored at a temperature of -18 °C or lower.

• Do not buy food covered in frost. This indicates that the food has thawed or partially thawed several times and, as a result, is of inferior quality.

• Make sure that the food does not thaw during transport. An increase in its temperature will shorten the storage life and harm the quality of the food.EN 32

STORING AND FREEZING FOOD

Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer Type of food Storage life Fruit, beef 10 to 12 months Vegetables, veal, poultry 8 to 10 months Venison 6 to 8 months Pork 4 to 6 months Finely chopped or minced meat 4 months Bread, pastas, cooked dishes, whitefish 3 months Offal 2 months Smoked sausage, bluefish 1 month Thawing frozen food

• Thawing is an important step in storing food preserved by freezing. Food must be thawed in the correct way.

• Suitable methods of thawing food are: ▷ in the refrigerator; ▷ in cold water; ▷ in a microwave or conventional oven with a suitable thaw program.

• Some frozen products can be prepared without needing to thaw them first. The manufacturer will state this on the packaging.

• The food needs to be packed in small portions. In this way the food thaws faster.

• Use partially or completely thawed food as quickly as possible. The bacteria in thawed food are reactivated and the food will spoil rapidly. This applies in particular to fruit, vegetables and ready-made food.

• Do not refreeze partially or completely thawed food.EN 33 MAINTENANCE Defrosting the appliance Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time. Defrosting of the NoFrost freezer The NoFrost freezer defrosts automatically. Any frost deposits will then disappear. Any ice or frost deposits that nevertheless form in the freezer compartment can be caused by unusual use of the appliance (opening the door too often and too long or poorly sealing door, etc.). The freezer will then need to be defrosted manually. Manual defrosting of the NoFrost freezer

1. Simultaneously touch the adjustment key on the right and the

ECO/Child Lock key for a few seconds. ▷ ‘CL’ is shown in the display to indicate that the defrost process has begun. ▷ The temperature is shown once again in the display when the defrost process is finished. Switch off the appliance in the event of extreme ice formation. Remove the food in the freezer and protect it so that it cannot partially or completely thaw. Clean and dry the interior of the freezer. Switch on the appliance and adjust the temperature to the required setting before you put the food back into the freezer.EN 34 MAINTENANCE Cleaning the appliance Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket before you start cleaning it. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the surface. Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to clean the freezer.

• Regularly clean the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water. If so required, add a neutral cleaning agent or special refrigerator cleaner to the water. Clean all surfaces with a soft cloth. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth with clean water and then dry them thoroughly.

• Do not put parts of the appliance in a dishwasher: this could damage them.

• Clean wooden parts with a damp cloth. Make sure that the wood does not become too wet and allow the parts to dry thoroughly before you put them back into the refrigerator.

• Warning: Wood is a natural material. This means that it will be difficult to remove some stains (especially red wine and oil).

• Wooden accessories that have dried out will need to be treated with a wood oil. This product must be suitable for treating surfaces that come into direct contact with food. When you are not going to use the appliance for a longer period then switch it off with the appropriate key and disconnect it from the mains. Empty, defrost and clean the appliance, and leave the door ajar.EN 35 Faults table When you have any doubts about whether your appliance is working properly you should not immediately assume that it is defective. We recommend that you should in any case check the points in the following table. Problem Cause/Solution Appliance is connected to the power supply but is not working. Check that the socket is live and that the appliance is switched on. Appliance cools continuously for a long time.

The compressor is operating for a longer time at low capacity (low energy consumption / high efficiency). This is the most efficient form of operation. The following factors can also influence the appliance's operation:

• The ambient temperature is too high.

• The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.

• The door is not closed properly.

• The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.).

• Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.

• Insufficient air circulation around the compressor and condenser. Check that the ventilation around the appliance is sufficient (see the separate installation instructions).

• The sensor in the refrigerator is blocked by fresh food. Make sure that air can circulate freely around the sensor (not applicable to all models). Excessive ice formation in the freezer.

• The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.

• The door is not closed properly.

• The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.). Condensation on the glass shelf above the drawers in the refrigeration compartment.

• Check that the door is closed properly and seals properly.

• This is a temporary problem that cannot be avoided entirely in periods of high ambient temperatures and high humidity. The problem disappears when the temperature and humidity return to normal levels. We recommend that you clean the drawers more frequently and occasionally wipe off any drips.

• Pack food in bags or other air-tight packaging. FAULTSEN 36 FAULTS Problem Cause/Solution Alarm key and/or temperature display flashing.

• The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.

• The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.).

• Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time. Door does not open easily. You are trying to open the appliance's door just after you have closed the door. Then opening the door is difficult. When you open the door, cold air escapes from the appliance and is replaced by warm air from the surroundings. As this air cools a slight vacuum is created that makes it more difficult to open the door. The situation returns to normal after a few minutes, and the door opens easily again. Some or all of the LED lighting does not work. Consult a service technician about LED lighting that is not working. You may not try to repair LED lighting. Appliance makes a noise.

• The appliance is cooled by a refrigeration system with a compressor (and with some models, also a fan) that makes a noise. The noise level depends on the installation of the appliance, its correct use and its age.

• When you connect the appliance to the power supply the noise made by the compressor or flowing refrigerant may be slightly louder. This is not indicative of a defect, and has no effect on the service life of the appliance. The appliance will make less noise after a while.

• The appliance may be temporarily noisier after the door has been opened for too long or too frequently, a large quantity of fresh food has been put in the appliance or the intensive freezing or intensive cooling function has been activated. ‘LL’ code shown in the display. Child lock has been activated. See the chapter ‘Child Lock’. ‘PF’ code shown in the display. Lengthy power failure. See the chapter ‘Power failure alarm’. Error code E0 shown in the display. The touch keys do not respond. Call the service centre to make an appointment for repair work. The appliance operates in the safe mode until it has been repaired.

Call the service centre to make an appointment for repair work. The appliance operates in the safe mode until it has been repaired. The appliance automatically retains the most suitable temperature for each compartment. Error code E9 shown in the display.

• A door has been open for too long: close the door.

• If the lighting in the compartment has also stopped working then the door sensor is defective. Call the service centre to make an appointment for repair work. The appliance operates in the safe mode until it has been repaired. The appliance automatically retains the most suitable temperature for each compartment. If you are unable to solve the problem then contact the service centre. When you do so, state the type, model and serial number shown on the type plate or label on the inside of the appliance.
