and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can

become a choking or suffocation hazard.

Disposal

• Observe local environmental standards when disposing

packaging material for recycling purposes.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and

Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled
bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that
when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room. Ensure

that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near
heat sources.

• 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.

• Defrost the appliance if ice forms (

see Maintenance

). A thick

layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more
difficult and results in increased energy consumption.

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 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 refrigerator door has been open for more than two minutes.

The sound alert stops when the door is closed or when the

appliance is switched off and on again.

The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool well.
• The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
• The doors are opened too frequently.
• The temperature that has been set is too high (

see Start-up and

use

).

• The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.
The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.
• The temperature that has been set is too low (

see Start-up and

use

).

The motor runs continuously.
• The function SUPER COOL has been enabled
• The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
• The outside ambient temperature is very high.

The appliance makes a lot of noise.
• The appliance has not been installed on a level surface (

see

Installation

)

.

• The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate

and make noise.

• The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the

compressor is off. This is not a defect, it is normal.

Early ending of functions
• Electrical disturbance on the network or brief interruptions of the

power supply.
