• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening
the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must
circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation
is impeded, the compressor will work continuously.
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal
temperature will increase and force the compressor to work
harder and will consume more energy.
Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see
Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.
The display is completely switched off.
• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not
far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house.
• The I-Care function is active.
The motor does not start.
• The appliance comes with a motor protection control (
see
Start-up and use
).
The display is on but it is dim.
• Pull out and reverse the plug before putting it back in the socket.
The alarm sounds and DOOR OPEN ALARM flashes on the
display (“dr” is displayed instead of the REFRIGERATOR
temperature).

The sound alert stops when the door is closed or when the
appliance is switched off and on again.
The alarm sounds and TEMPERATURE ALARM flashes
on the display (“A1” is displayed instead of the FREEZER
temperature).
• The temperature inside the freezer is too high. The freezer will
maintain a temperature of around 0°C so that the food will not
refreeze, allowing you to eat it within 24 hours or to refreeze it
after it has been cooked.
To switch off the buzzer, open and close the appliance door
or press the + and – freezer temperature adjustment buttons
once. Press these buttons a second time to display the set
value on the freezer display, switch off the TEMPERATURE
ALARM LED and restore normal operation.
The alarm sounds and temperature alarm flashes on the
display (“A2” is displayed instead of the FREEZER

• The temperature of the freezer is dangerously high: the
food inside must not be eaten. The freezer will maintain a
temperature of approximately -18°C.
To switch off the buzzer, open and close the appliance door
or press the + and – freezer temperature adjustment buttons
once. Press these buttons a second time to display the set
value on the freezer display, switch off the TEMPERATURE
ALARM LED and restore normal operation.

have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time. Please
make sure that the doors are completely closed. It is normal and
not a fault.
