If humidity builds up inside the fridge:

•

Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?

•

Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the doors are
opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the
humidity of the room is high.

If the doors are not opened and closed properly:

•

Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?

•

Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?

•

Are door gaskets broken or torn?

•

Is your fridge on a level surface?

If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm:

Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation
of the compressor, this is normal.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

•

In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged in again, the gas in the
cooling system of your refrigerator will destabilise, causing the compressor protective thermal element
to open. Your refrigerator will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.

•

If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (such as during holidays), disconnect the
plug. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and
odour.

•

If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest
Authorised Service Centre.

This appliance is designed for domestic use and for the stated purposes only. It is not suitable for
commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with
these instructions, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the 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 (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will help

cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will save energy. Frozen food left to
thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of energy.

4. Drinks or other liquides should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered, the humidity

inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy. Keeping drinks and other
liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.

5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as warm air will

enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
