Water flowing noises: normal sound of water flowing through the evaporator pan during the
defrosting process. This noise can be heard during the defrosting process that takes place
inside the appliance.
Noises produced by water: this is the normal sound of the fan. This noise may be heard
because of the air flowing in refrigerators with the frost-free technology while the system is
operating normally.
If the edges of the appliance body, coming in contact with the door seal, are hot:
Especially in summer (in hot climates), the surfaces in contact with the refrigerator seal may
become hot while the compressor is running. This is quite normal.
If there is moisture inside the appliance:
• Was the food well packaged? Were the containers properly dried before they were put in
the refrigerator?
• Are the refrigerator doors being opened frequently? When you open the refrigerator door,
moisture from the air in the room gets inside the appliance. If the humidity level in the room
is particularly high, the more the door is opened, the faster humidity will form.
If the doors do not open and close properly:
• Is there some food packaging preventing the doors from closing?
• Are the door shelves, bins and shelves in their correct positions?
• Are the door seals defective or worn?
• Is the refrigerator on level ground?
IMPORTANT COMMENTS:
• The compressor protection function will be activated after a sudden power cut or after
unplugging the appliance, given that the gas contained in the cooling system has not yet
stabilised. There is no need to worry, the refrigerator will start after 5 minutes.
• Unplug the refrigerator if you will not be using it for a prolonged period (e.g. during the
summer holiday). Clean the refrigerator in accordance with the instructions given in section
4, and leave the door open to prevent moisture from building up and bad odours from forming.
• If the problem persists even after following all of the above instructions, please contact the
Customer Service.
• The appliance you have purchased is made for household use and may only be used for this
purpose. It is not suitable for commercial or other uses. If consumers use the appliance in a
way that does not comply with these specifications, the manufacturer and distributor cannot
be held responsible for any repairs or failures during the warranty period.
• The appliance can be repaired for 10 years (period of availability of the spare parts).

Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool and well-ventilated place.
Do not place it in direct sunlight or near a heat source (radiator, hotplate, etc.) Otherwise,
use an insulating board.
2. Leave hot food and drinks to cool outside the appliance.
3. After thawing food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the
frozen food cools the refrigerator compartment, thereby saving energy. Energy is wasted when
food is removed from the appliance.
4. Drinks and soups should be covered when stored in the appliance. Otherwise, the humidity
increases in the appliance. This will have the effect of increasing the running time. Drinks
and soups must also be covered to preserve their taste and smell.
5. When placing food and drink in the appliance, open the door as briefly as possible.
6. Keep closed the covers of all the compartments of the appliance (crisper, cooler, etc.), which
are at different temperatures.
7. The door seal must be clean and flexible. Replace the seals if worn.
