GUIDE TO FOOD STORAGE
The freezer compartment, marked with the symbol , allows the storage of frozen food as well as
the freezing of fresh or cooked food. It also allows the making of ice cubes.
Freezing
The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in a 24 hour period, at an ambient temperature of
25°C, is stated on the rating plate, inside the refrigerator.
Set the “FREEZER” control knob of the freezer compartment to its coldest setting.
Freezing of fresh food and automatic ice making cannot be carried out at the same time.
Therefore do not forget to stop the automatic ice maker by setting the lever on OFF. See the operating
instructions in chapter “Automatic ice maker”.
Do not store warm food in the freezer; do not refreeze already thawed food; it is possible to freeze it
after cooking. Wrap food in aluminium foil or plastic film or place it into appropriate containers. Label
the wrappings and mark the freezing date and the contents.
The freezer compartment maintains the adequate storage temperature even during a power failure, for
a period of approximately 6 hours. However, during this time, we suggest you leave the freezer door
closed.
Preparing fresh food for freezing
It is important to wrap food so that no water, moisture, or vapour may pass through; this avoids the
transfer of odour or flavour throughout the refrigerator and allows better storage of frozen food.
We recommend the use of plastic containers with tight fitting lids, aluminium trays, aluminium foil,
plastic film, and waterproof plastic wrappings.
Sealing
When sealing the food in bags, squeeze out the air (liquids need head space to allow for expansion).
Fasten the top of the bag with a string. Put the label inside transparent bags; use self-adhesive labels
on the outside of opaque ones.
3gb33001.fm5 Page 43 Monday, August 20, 2001 3:48 PM
44
GUIDE TO FOOD STORAGE
Freezing fruit
Select ripe, blemish-free fruit. Clean, peel and slice as needed.
Pack in rigid containers or other recommended material. Leave
some head space to allow liquid to expand during freezing.
Freezing vegetables
For best results freeze no more than 2 to 3 hours after picking.
Wash in cold water, clean and cut as needed. Blanch. Pack in
recommended containers and freeze.
Do not freeze lettuce, celery, carrot sticks, potatoes, or fresh
tomatoes. All will become limp or mushy. Tomatoes will
collapse when thawed.
Freezing meat
Thawed meat will be as good as before freezing.
Steaks or flat cuts should be wrapped individually or in layers
separated by a double sheet of freezer wrap.
Freezing cooked food
Cook your food as you would for the table: shorten the cooking
time 10 to 15 minutes to allow for additional cooking during
reheating. Do not season and remove part of the cooking
liquid. Remember to add them when reheating.
Cool as rapidly as possible and freeze at once.
Liquid or semi-liquid dishes must be frozen in recommended
containers leaving some head space to allow for expansion.
Casseroles and other more solid food can be frozen in oven
proof containers.
Freezing pastry and bread
Wrap bread in recommended material. Thaw inside the
wrapping. Unbaked yeast bread can be frozen after the first
rising. Punch down, wrap, and freeze.
Bake cookies and pastry as usual. Cool and freeze on trays, then
pack in recommended freezer bags or cartons. Unbaked cookies
and pastry may be dropped, moulded, or rolled and frozen on
trays. Store in bags or cartons. Bake without thawing.
Fruit pies are best frozen unbaked. Bake without thawing.

thawed food.
Thawing
Here are some helpful hints:
Raw vegetables
: do not thaw, put straight into
boiling water and cook as usual.
Meat
(large cuts): thaw in the refrigerator
compartment without unwrapping. Before cooking,
leave at room temperature for a couple of hours.
(small cuts): thaw at room temperature or cook
directly.
Fish
: thaw in the refrigerator compartment
without unwrapping or cook directly before
complete thawing.
Previously cooked food
: reheat in the oven
without removing it from its aluminium container.
Fruit
: thaw in the refrigerator compartment.
NOTE
: Never store warm food in the freezer.
Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature for 30
minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot
foods before freezing saves energy and prolongs
the life of the appliance.

USE OF THE ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
(ON SOME MODELS)
Your freezer dispenses both cubed and crushed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button
controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.
For cubed ice, press the cubed ice button until the red indicator
appears in the window above the button. For crushed ice, press
the crushed ice button until the red indicator appears in the
window above the button.
To dispense ice:
1.Press button for the desired type of ice.
2.Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside of the glass.
You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in
order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not
make the ice dispenser faster or in greater quantities.
3.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
For cubed ice
For crushed ice
NOTE:
The first few batches of ice cubes may have an off-taste. Throw
this ice away.
Ice is dispensed from the ice maker bin in the freezer
compartment. When the outside dispenser bar is pressed, a
trapdoor opens between the ice bin and the dispenser. When
the glass is taken away from the dispenser bar, a buzzing sound
may be heard for a few seconds as the trapdoor closes.
The dispenser will not operate when the freezer compartment
door is open.
Large amounts of ice cubes should be taken directly from the
bin, not through the dispenser.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This
may cause a slight delay in dispensing crushed ice. Noise from
the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.
When changing from crushed ice to ice cubes, a small quantity
of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
After starting the appliance 3 to 4 hours are normally required
to obtain the first ice cubes.

The ON/OFF lever is a signal arm:
Down.... for making ice automatically.
Up..... to switch off the ice maker.
To turn the ice maker on/off: (Style II)
The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
1.
To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.
NOTE:
Your ice maker has an automatic shut-off. The ice
maker sensors will automatically stop ice production but the
control will remain in the ON (left) position.
2.
To manually turn the icemaker off, slide the control to the
OFF (right) position.
To remove and replace ice bucket:
1.
Place four fingers in bucket base opening and rest thumb on
the release button.
2.
Holding the base of the bucket with both hands, depress the
release button and lift the bucket up and out. It is not
necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right)
position. The ice maker will not produce ice without the
bucket installed in the door.
Normal Ice Production
should produce approximately 7 to 9
batches of ice in a 24-hour period.
To care for ice storage bin or bucket:
1.
Empty the ice container. Use warm water to melt the ice if
necessary.
Never use anything sharp
to break up the ice in
the bin or bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container
and the dispenser mechanism.
2.
Wash ice bin or bucket with a mild detergent, rinse well and
dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or
solvents.

Removing the ice maker bin
Remove, empty, and clean the bin:
if the ice dispenser has not been or will not be used for a
week or more;
if a power failure causes ice in the bin to melt and freeze
together;
if the ice dispenser is not used regularly.
To remove the bin
1.Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and slide it to
the rear.
2.Lift the signal arm to the OFF position. Ice can still be
dispensed, but no more will be made.
3.Lift the front of the bin and pull it out.
4.Empty the bin. Use warm or lukewarm water to melt the ice
if necessary. Do not use sharp tools to break up the ice in the
bin. This can damage the bin and the dispenser mechanism.
5.Wash following the instructions given under chapter
“Maintenance and Cleaning”. Rinse well. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or solvents.
6.When putting the bin back, make sure it is pushed all the way
in. Push the signal arm down to the ON position to restart ice
cubes production.
NOTE: Do not turn the ice maker on until it is connected to the
water supply.
It is normal for ice cubes to be attached by a corner. They
will break apart easily.
The ice maker will not operate until the freezer compartment
is cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight.
If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is needed,
set the refrigerator thermostat on a higher number. Wait a
day and, if necessary, set the freezer compartment
thermostat knob on “4/5.”
Good water quality is important for good ice quality. Water
softener chemicals such as salt can damage the ice maker and
lead to poor quality ice.

COMMON ICE MAKER PROBLEMS
NOTE
: Only use cubes from the ice maker.
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
The dispenser does not work. The freezer compartment door is
open.
The ice bin is not properly
installed.
Close the freezer compartment
door.
Make sure that the bin is pushed
all the way in.
The ice dispenser stops working. The dispenser has not been used
for extended periods, causing
the ice cubes to melt together.
The ice dispenser bar has been
held in for too long.
Shake the bin occasionally to
keep cubes separate and to
increase storage capacity.
Throw old ice cubes away and
make a new supply.
Wait about 3 minutes for the
dispenser motor to reset.
Large amounts of ice should be
taken from the bin, not through
the dispenser.
Off-taste or odour in ice. Ice absorbs airborne odours.
Water quality.
Food not properly wrapped.
The ice bin and the freezer
compartment may need
cleaning.
Plumbing to ice maker.
New ice should be made. Throw
old ice away and make new
supply.
Store excess ice in a covered
container.
Water containing minerals may
require a filter.
Wrap food properly.
Clean the ice bin and the
freezer.
Follow instructions for a proper
water supply to ice maker.
The first few batches of ice from
a new ice maker may have an
off-taste. Throw the ice away
and make a new supply.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning, always
unplug the appliance or disconnect the power supply.
Periodically clean the refrigerator and freezer compartments
with a sponge dampened in a solution of lukewarm water and
vinegar. Rinse and dry. Never use detergents or abrasives.
Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. The fumes
can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Clean the outside with a sponge dampened in lukewarm water.
Dry with a soft cloth.
Periodically clean the defrost pan proceeding as follows:
remove the front grille;
remove the defrost pan;
wash the defrost pan with warm water and mild detergent;
rinse and dry;
put the defrost pan back into place with the notched corner
to the rear;
make sure that the defrost drain tube is pointing into the pan;
put the front grille back into place.
NOTE
: The refrigeration system tubes are located near the
defrost pan and can become hot. Periodically clean them with
a vacuum cleaner.
Always disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply
before replacing any light bulbs.
How to replace the refrigerator bulbs
remove the bulb;
replace it with one of the same type available only at our
Service Centres or Retailers.
How to replace the freezer upper compartment bulb
(on some models)
remove the light shield by grabbing its upper central part;
pull frontally and, at the same time, slightly turn the shield
to one side;
remove the bulb and replace it with one of the same type
available only at our Service Centres or Retailers.
To put the light shield back into place:
grab the upper central part of the light shield;
insert the tabs of one side of the shield into the grooves;
gently bend the light shield in the centre to insert the tabs
on the other side.
How to replace the dispenser bulb
(on some models)
reach for the bulb in the dispenser recess;
remove the bulb and replace it with one of the same type
available only at our Service Centres or Retailers.

VACATION
Short vacation
There is no need to disconnect the refrigerator from the power
supply if you will be away for less than three weeks. Use up
perishable food, freeze other food. If your appliance has an
automatic ice maker:
1.
Turn it off.
2.
Shut off the water supply to the ice maker.
3.
Empty the ice bin.
Long vacation
Remove all the food if you are going away for three weeks or
more. If your appliance has an automatic ice maker, turn off the
water supply to the ice maker at least a day before. When the
last batch of ice cubes drops, turn off the ice maker. Unplug the
refrigerator and clean it, rinse and dry. Fix some wooden or
plastic wedges to the upper part of both doors with adhesive
tape and leave the doors open enough for air to circulate inside
both compartments. This will prevent odour and mould from
setting in.
Moving
Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and fix them
together with adhesive tape so that they will not come loose
or shake.
Tighten the front levelling screws.
Close and fix both doors with adhesive tape and, again using
adhesive tape, fix the power cable to the appliance.
Power failure
In case of power failure, call the local office of your Electricity
Company and ask how long it is going to last.
1.
Should the power failure last 24 hours or less,
keep both
doors of the appliance closed
. This will allow the stored
food to stay cold as long as possible.
2.
Should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove all
frozen food and put it in a freezer with a key lock. If this type
of freezer is not available and, likewise, no artificial ice packs
are available, try to use up the food which is more easily
perishable.
3.
Bear in mind that a full freezer compartment will stay cold
longer than a partially filled one.
Furthermore, a freezer full of frozen meat will stay cold
longer than a freezer filled with pre-cooked food.
If the food still shows ice crystals, it is possible to refreeze
it without running any risk; however, it will probably change
taste and flavour. If the condition of the food is definitely
poor and you feel like you would be running a risk by
refreezing it, you must throw it away.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE/SERVICE
Before calling for Service....
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools
of any kind.
If your refrigerator will not work:
Is the power cable plugged into a live socket
with the proper voltage?
Have you checked your home’s fuses?
Is the thermostat control in the off position?
If there are noises or vibrations:
Most of the noises are normal. Hard surfaces like
the floor, walls, and cabinets can make the noises
seem louder. The following describes the most
common types of noises and what may be making
them:
Slight hum
You may be hearing the refrigerator's fan motor
and moving air.
Clicking noises
The thermostat clicks when the refrigerator stops
running. It also makes a sound when the
refrigerator starts. The defrost timer clicks when
the defrost cycle starts and stops.
Water noises
When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear
a gurgling noise in the piping for a few minutes.
You may also hear the defrost water running into
the defrost water pan.
Ice maker noises
Since your appliance has an ice maker, you may
hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling
water and the clatter of the ice falling into the bin.
If your ice maker will not work:
Has the freezer had enough time to become
cold? With a new refrigerator this may take
overnight.
Is the lever in the down position (ON)?
Is the water turned on? Is water getting to the
ice maker?
Is there a water filter installed on the
refrigerator?
This filter may be clogged or installed
incorrectly. First, check the filter installation
instructions to ensure that the filter was
installed correctly and is not clogged. If
installation or clogging is not a problem, call a
qualified person or a technician.
If there is water in the defrost pan:
This is normal in hot, damp weather. The pan can
even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is
level so that the water does not overflow.
If the edges of the refrigerator cabinet, which
come in contact with the door gasket, are warm
to the touch:
This is normal in hot weather when the
compressor is running.
If the light does not work:
Have you checked your home’s fuses?
Is the power cable plugged into a live socket
with the proper voltage?
Has the light bulb burnt out?
In case of burned out bulbs:
1.Always pull the plug out of the socket;
2.Reach for the bulb behind the control panel;
3.Remove the bulb;
4.Replace it with one of the same type available
only at our Service Centres or Retailers.
If the motor seems to run too much:
Is the condenser free of dust and lint?
Are the doors properly closed?
Are the door gaskets properly sealed?
On hot days or if the room is warm, the motor
naturally runs longer.
If the door has been opened a lot or if a large
amount of food has been stored, the motor will run
longer to cool down the interior.

54
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE/SERVICE
Remember:
Motor running time depends on different things:
number of door openings, amount of food stored,
temperature of the room, setting of the
temperature controls.
If you have followed the above checks and your
appliance still does not work properly, get in touch
with the After Sale Service. State clearly what is
wrong and the type and serial number of your
appliance (these data are on the rating plate).
If the refrigerator temperature is too warm
Are the refrigerator controls adjusted correctly?
Has a large amount of food been added to the
refrigerator or freezer?
Check to see that the doors are not opened too
often.
Check to see that the doors are closing properly.
Make sure that air vents are not blocked in the
compartment. This will prevent the movement of
cold air.
If there is moisture build-up
Check to see if that air vents are not blocked in
the compartment. This will prevent proper air
circulation.
Make sure that the food is properly packaged.
Wipe all damp food containers before placing
them in the refrigerator.
Check to see that the doors are not opened too
often. When the door is opened, humidity from
the room air enters the refrigerator. The more
often the door is opened, the faster humidity
builds up, especially when the room itself is very
humid.
If the room is very humid, it is normal for
moisture to build up inside the refrigerator.
It is normal for droplets of water to form on the
back wall after the refrigerator self-defrosts.
If the doors are not closing and opening
properly
Check that food packages are not blocking the
door.
Check that the pans, shelves, drawers or the ice
maker are not out of position.
Check that the door gaskets are not dirty or
sticky.
Make sure that the refrigerator is level.
To replace the power cable:
You must ask our After Sale Service to
replace the power cable.

WATER FILTRATION AND MONITORING SYSTEM
(ON SOME MODELS)
The water filter indicator light
The water filter indicator light will help you know when to
change your water filter cartridge. The light is located at the
top of the refrigerator compartment. The light will change from
green to yellow. This tells you that it is almost time to change
the water filter cartridge (90% of the filter life has been used).
It is recommended that you replace the water filter cartridge
when the water filter indicator light changes to red OR water
flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.
(See “Changing a water filter cartridge” later in this section).
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.
After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter
indicator light by pressing the light switch 5 times within 10
seconds. The indicator light will change from red to green when
the system is reset.
Changing a water filter cartridge
The water filter is located below the freezer compartment door.
1
Locate the water filter cartridge cap in the front base grille
below the freezer compartment door. Rotate the cap
counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap and
filter cartridge out through the base grille.
NOTE
: There will be water in the cartridge. Some spilling may occur.
2
Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old
cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right. DO NOT
DISCARD THE CAP.
3
Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove
protective cover from o-rings.
4
Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge as shown.
5
With cartridge cap in the vertical position, push the new
filter cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the
cartridge cap clockwise to a horizontal position.
6
RUN WATER THROUGH THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE WATER
RUNS CLEAR (about 9-14 litres or 6-7 minutes). This will
clean the system and clear air from the lines. Additional
flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE
: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
