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.

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, replace the
gasket.
