The doors are not opening or closing properly

Check if:

• 

There is food or packaging preventing the door from 

closing

• 

The door compartments, shelves and drawers are 

placed properly

• 

The door gaskets are broken or torn 

• 

Your fridge is level.

The edges of the fridge/freezer in contact with the door 
joint are warm

Especially during summer (warm weather), the surfaces in 

contact with the door joint may become warmer during 

operation of the compressor. This is normal.

Important:

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 

appliance will destabilise, causing the compressor protective 

thermal element to open.
Your appliance 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 appliance, 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.
The lifetime of your appliance stated and declared by the 

Department of the Industry is 10 years (the period for 

retaining parts required for the proper functioning of the 

appliance).

Tips for saving energy

1. 

Install the appliance in a cool, wellventilated 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 appliance compartment. The 

low temperature of the frozen food will help cool the 

appliance 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.

Service alarm

n

If an alarm light illuminates, contact an authorised 

service centre.

Press the ‘s.saver’ button to switch the alarm sound 

off when there is an alarm and an exclamation mark 

on the display. The exclamation mark will continue 

to show on the electronic display panel until the 

error is fixed.

Temperature Adjustment Warnings

• 

It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in 

environments colder than 16°C in terms of its efficiency.

• 

Do not start another adjustment while you are already 

making an adjustment.

• 

Temperature adjustments should be made according 

to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food 

kept inside the fridge and the ambient temperature in 

the location of your fridge.

• 

In order to allow your fridge to reach the operating 

temperature after being connected to mains, do not 

open the doors frequently or place large quantities of 

food in the fridge. Please note that, depending on the 

ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your 

fridge to reach the operating temperature.

• 

A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage 

to the compressor of your fridge when connecting or 

disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown 

occurs. Your fridge will begin to operate normally after 

5 minutes.

• 

Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient 

temperature (T/SN = 16°C - 43°C) intervals stated in 

the standards. We do not recommend operating your 

appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms 

of cooling effectiveness.

NOTE: 

If the ambient temperature is higher than 42°C, the 

compartment temperature cannot be set to -23°C or -24°C. It 

can only be set to -16°C, -17°C, -18°C, -19°C, -20°C -21°C or -22 °C.
