CHAPTER -7: BEFORE CALLING AFTER-SALES SERVICE
• 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.
• There is a build-up of water droplets on the rear wall. This is normal after automatic defrosting (in Static Models).
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 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 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.
CHAPTER -8: 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 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.
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. In case of wear, if your gasket is detachable, replace the gasket. If not
detachable, you have to replace the door.
CHAPTER -9: INFORMATION FOR TEST INSTITUTES
Appliances for EcoDesign verification should be compliant with EN 62552.
