Air blowing noise occurs: In No-Frost freezers during normal operation of the system
due to the circulation of air.
The edges of the freezer in contact with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm seasons), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may
become warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.
The door does not open or close properly
Check if:
• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
• The door joints are broken or torn
• Your freezer is on a level surface.
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 freezer will destabilise, causing the compressor
protective thermal element to open. Your freezer 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 freezer, 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.
Hints for Energy Saving
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. 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.
6. Eco mode / default setting function preserves frozen foods while saving energy.
7. Frozen Compartment (Freezer): The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that
ensures the most efficient use of energy.
8. Do not remove the cold accumulators from the freezer basket (if present).
