If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator,
Check if:
• TThe drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
• If your fridge is not cooling sufficiently:
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards,
according to the climate class stated on the information label. We do not recommend operating
your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the
fridge.
Recommendations
• Unplug the refrigerator during a power cut in order to prevent any damage to the compressor.
Wait 5-10 minutes before plugging the appliance in once power returns.
• If you unplug your refrigerator for any reason, wait al least 5 minutes before plugging it in. This
will avoid damage to the refrigerator’s components.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden at the rear of the appliance. Therefore, water
droplets or icing may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the
compressor at specified intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a defrosting
operation unless the icing is excessive.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long period of time (e.g. in summer holidays), put
the thermostat to “•” position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open to
prevent humidity and smells.
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest
Authorised Service Centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use and can only be used for the
stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a
way that does not comply with this, we emphasise that the manufacturer and dealer will not be
responsible for any repair or failure within the guarantee period.
Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat
source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. W hen thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of
the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This will help
to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.
4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases
in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids
helps to preserve smell and taste.
5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc ) closed
7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
