There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge

Check if:

•  All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry 

before being placed in the fridge.

•  The fridge doors are opened frequently. Humidity of 

the room will enter the fridge each time the doors 

are opened. Humidity increases faster if the doors are 

opened frequently, especially if the humidity of the 

room is high.

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.

Recommendations

To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket 

(for cleaning and when the door is left open)

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 

fridge will destabilise, causing the compressor protective 

thermal element to open.
Your fridge 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 fridge, 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. 

Drinks or other liquids 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.

4. 

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.

5. 

Keep the covers of the different temperature 

compartments (such as the crisper and chiller) closed.

6. 

The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace 

gaskets if worn.
