NO FROST APPLIANCE
Innovative sensor technology allows adjusting appliance operation to the user's habits
or behaviour. Adaptive intelligent system monitors, analyzes, and records on a daily
and weekly basis the use of appliance and adapts appliance operation to the perceived
patterns. If the appliance is able to anticipate increased frequency of door opening,
the appliance will automatically lower the temperature before such time to prevent the
increase of food temperature as the door is opened more often. The appliance will also
anticipate adding larger amounts of food into the refrigerator or freezer and adapt by
cooling or freezing more intensively.

Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, maintaining
the right temperature, and observing the food hygiene standards
has a decisive impact on the quality of food storage.
Observe the expiry dates for the food, specified on the
packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed
containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from
emitting or receiving odours.
Do not store inflammable, volatile, and explosive substances in
the refrigerator.
Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed and
stored in an upright position.
Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange peel,
butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic surfaces in case of a
prolonged contact, causing damage and premature ageing of
these materials.
Unpleasant odour warns of lacking cleanliness of the appliance or
perished contents (see Cleaning the Appliance).
If you are leaving home for a longer period of time, remove
perishables from the refrigerator.
AVOID CONTAMINATION OF FOOD
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a signifi cant increase of the temperature in
the compartments of the appliance.
• Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
• Store raw meat and fi sh in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in
contact with or drip onto other food.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch o , defrost, clean, dry,
and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

36
STORING FOOD IN THE
FRESHZONE DRAWER
498628
In the FreshZone compartment, food stays fresh longer than in a conventional
refrigerator, retaining more flavour and nutrients.
Decay and loss of mass are slowed down; therefore, fruit and vegetables remain fresh and
natural longer.
For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully closed.
• When buying food, make sure it is fresh as this will determine the quality of the food, as
well as how long it will keep in the fridge.
• Store the food in closed containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from
emitting or receiving odours.
• Take the food from the drawer 30-60 minutes before use to allow the aroma and fl avour
develop at room temperature.
• Food sensitive to low temperature and not appropriate for storage in the FreshZone
drawer include the following: pineapple, avocado, bananas, olives, potatoes, eggplant,
cucumbers, beans, peppers (capsicum), melons, watermelons, pumpkins, squash,
zucchini etc.
• To remove the drawer:
- Pull out the drawer until it is blocked.
- Then, lift it at the front and pull it all the
way out.
37
STORING FOOD IN THE
ZEROZONE DRAWER
498628
The ZeroZone compartment allows storing a wide variety of fresh food for up to three
times longer than in a conventional refrigerator. The food stays fresh longer, retaining
the flavour and nutrients. The temperature in this drawer depends on the temperature
settings in the refrigerator compartment, environment temperature, frequency of door
opening, and amount of food placed in it. For a temperature around 0 °C in the ZeroZone
drawer, we recommend setting the refrigerator compartment temperature to 4 °C or
lower. Temperature in the ZeroZone drawer may fall below 0 °C. Therefore, place the
temperature-sensitive food in the upper parts of the refrigerator.
For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully closed.
• When buying food, make sure it is fresh as this will determine the quality of the food, as
well as how long it will keep in the fridge.
• Store the food in closed containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from
emitting or receiving odours and humidity.
• Take the food from the drawer 30-60 minutes before use to allow the aroma and fl avour
develop at room temperature.
• Food sensitive to low temperature and not appropriate for storage in the ZeroZone
drawer include the following: pineapple, avocado, bananas, olives, potatoes, eggplant,
cucumbers, beans, peppers (capsicum), melons, watermelons, pumpkins, squash,
zucchini etc.
• To remove the drawer:
- Pull out the drawer until it is blocked.
- Then, lift it at the front and pull it all the
way out.

39
FREEZING AND STORING
FROZEN FOOD
498628
Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once is
specified on the appliance rating plate. If the amount of food to
be frozen exceeds the indicated amount, the quality of freezing
will be inferior; in addition, the quality of the food already frozen
will deteriorate.
• To make use of the entire freezer volume, remove all drawers.
Place the food directly on the shelves and on the freezer bottom.
- Do not remove the bottom drawer in NO FROST appliances of A+++ energy class.
- Do not remove the top drawer in OLD TIMER appliances (does not apply to NO
FROST appliances).
• Activate the super freeze function 24 hours before freezing fresh food:
- press the A key repeatedly until the symbol C lights up;
After this time, insert the fresh food into the freezing compartment.
Make sure the fresh food is not in contact with the food that is already frozen!
The most suitable place for freezing a large amount of fresh food is the upper section of
the freezer.
• When freezing smaller quantities of food (1-2 kilograms), activating the super freeze
function is not required.
• After 24 hours, the food can be moved to other freezer compartments and the freezing
process can be repeated as necessary.
FREEZING PROCESS
40
498628
Only freeze the food that is suitable for freezing in the freezer.
Make sure the food you freeze is of high quality and fresh.
Choose appropriate packaging and use the packaging correctly.
Packaging should not be permeable to humidity; it should be
airtight to prevent the food from drying out and loss of vitamins.
Label the food; indicate the type of food, amount, and date of
freezing.
It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
Therefore, keep the packages small. Refrigerate the food before
freezing.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING
FRESH FOOD
STORAGE OF INDUSTRIALLY FROZEN
FOOD
• When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Temperature and expiry date are indicated on the packaging.
• Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of
-18°C or lower.
• Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates they have been partly defrosted
several times and that they are of inferior quality.
• Protect the food from thawing during transport. In case of an increase in temperature,
storage time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate.
41
498628
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE TIME
Recommended storage time in the freezer
Type of food Time
fruit, beef from 10 to 12 months
vegetables, veal, poultry from 8 to 10 months
Venison from 6 to 8 months
Pork from 4 to 6 months
minced meat 4 months
bread, pastry, ready-to-eat meals, lean 3 months
entrails 2 months
smoked sausage, fatty fish 1 month
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD
Freezing the food does not kill the microorganisms. After the food is defrosted or thawed,
bacteria is re-activated and the food spoils quickly. Use the partially or completely
defrosted food as soon as possible.
Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food, particularly fruit, vegetables, and
ready-to-eat food.
42
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
498628
Refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall is thawed
automatically.
Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive. Drops will flow through an
opening in the refrigerator rear wall into a tray fitted above the compressor, from where they
will evaporate.
If an excessive layer of ice is formed on the rear wall of refrigerator interior (3-5 mm),
switch off the appliance and defrost the appliance manually.
AUTOMATIC REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING
DEFROSTING A CONVENTIONAL FREEZER
Defrost the freezer when an approximately 3-5 milimeter layer of of frost or ice has built
up.
• 24 hours before defrosting, activate the super freeze function to additionally cool the
food (see section »Freezing Process«).
After this period, remove the food from the freezer and protect them from defrosting.
• Switch o the appliance (see chapter Switching the appliance on/o ) and unplug the
power cord.
• Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic parts or harm your health.
• Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, because you may
damage a pipe of the cooling system.
• To speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of hot water on the glass shelf.
• Clean and dry the appliance interior (see Cleaning the Appliance).
DEFROSTING A NO FROST FREEZER
• The NO FROST freezer will defrost automatically. Occasional frost that may appear on
the walls will disappear automatically.
• Build-up of ice or frost in the freezer compartment can be a result of abnormal use of
appliance (door opened too frequently and/or too long, door not properly closed etc.).
In this case, unplug the appliance, remove the food from the freezer and protect them
from defrosting.
Clean and dry the freezer interior. Before returning the frozen food into the freezer,
switch on the appliance and select the desired setting.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: Cause or remedy:
Appliance is connected
to the power mains but it
does not work.
Make sure there is voltage in the power outlet and that
the appliance is switched on.
Cooling system operates
continuously for a long
period of time:
Too high environment temperature.
Door opened too frequently or too long.
Door not closed correctly (possible impurities on the
seal, misaligned door, damaged seal etc.).
Too much fresh food inserted at once.
Sensor in the refrigerator (A) blocked by fresh food.
Make sure the air can circulate around the sensor (only
with some models).
Insufficient compressor and condenser cooling. Check
the air circulation behind the appliance and clean the
condenser unit.
Excessive build-up of
ice on the back wall of
refrigerator interior can be
a result of the following:
Door opened too frequently or too long.
Warm food placed in the refrigerator.
Food in contact with the back interior wall of the
refrigerator.
Poor door sealing.
If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean it or replace it.
Build-up of ice or frost in
the freezer interior may be
a result of the following:
Door opened too frequently or too long.
Door not properly closed.
Poor door sealing.
If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean or replace it.
Condensate (dew) on the
shelf above the drawers:
This is a transient phenomenon which cannot be entirely
avoided in periods of high environment temperature and
humidity. It subsides when temperature and humidity are
normalized. We recommend cleaning the drawers more
frequently and wiping the droplets occasionally.
Open the humidity control slider.
Place the food in to bags or other airtight packaging.
Water leaking from the
refrigerator:
Clogged water discharge opening or water dripping past
the water gutter.
Clean the clogged opening, for example using a plastic
straw.
If a thick layer of ice builds up, defrost the appliance
manually (see Defrosting the Appliance).
The D key will flash: • Door opened too frequently or too long.
• Door not closed correctly (possible impurities on the
seal, misaligned door, damaged seal etc.).
• A longer power failure.
• Too much fresh food inserted at once.
498628
45
Problem: Cause or remedy:
Door is difficult to open: If you are trying to open the freezer door after just
having closed it, this could be difficult to do.
As you open the door, some cool air escapes from
the appliance and it is replaced by warm air from the
environment. When this air is cooled, negative pressure is
generated which results in problems as you try to open
the door. After a few minutes, the condition is normalized
and the door can be easily opened again.
LED lighting does not
work:
If LED lighting does not work, call a service technician.
Do not attempt a repair of the LED lighting yourself, as
there is danger of contact with high voltage!
Temperature in the freezer
too high:
Set the manual flap (located behind the fruit and
vegetables bin) by pressing the button and moving it to
position 1 (only with some models).
If none of the instructions above fixes your problem, call the nearest authorized service
center and state the type, model, and serial number found on the rating plate/label which is
located in the appliance interior.
