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.

• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure

they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping
(see Maintenance).

Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance
(see Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.

The internal light does not illuminate.

• 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 TEMPERATURE CONTROL Knob is on setting.

The refrigerator do not cool well.

• The door do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
• The door are opened too frequently.
• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct

position

• The refrigerator have been over-filled.

The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.

• The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct

position.

• The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the

refrigerator.

The motor runs continuously.

• 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.

The back wall of the refrigerator unit is covered in frost or
droplets of water

• This shows the appliance is operating normally.

There is water at the bottom of the refrigerator.

• The water discharge hole is blocked (see Maintenance).
