STORING FOOD IN THE
FreshZone DRAWER
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 it
from emitting or receiving odours.
• Take the food from the drawer 30 to 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 includes the following: pineapples, 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.

FREEZING AND STORING
FROZEN FOOD
783660
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.
• Activate the super freeze function 24 hours before freezing fresh food:
- rotate the A dial towards the thickest part of the marking.
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.
In appliance types HZS 3669, HZS 3669F, with energy class rating A+ and
control unit 1, distribute the fresh food evenly across all freezer compartments.
• 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.
• After the freezing process is completed, rotate the A dial back to the desired
setting.
FREEZING PROCESS
29
783660
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.

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

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.
31
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
783660
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).
• Before placing the food into the freezer, switch on the appliance and rotate
the A dial back to the desired setting.
32
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
783660
• Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive
substances, acids, or solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may
damage the surface.
Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of suds. Lacquer-
coated and aluminium surfaces may be cleaned with lukewarm water to which
you have added a mild detergent. Use of cleaners with low alcohol content is
allowed (e.g. window cleaners).
Do not use cleaners containing alcohol for cleaning plastic materials.
• A gutter and an opening through
which the water from thawed ice
fl ows are located underneath the
cooling panel that cools the
refrigerator interior. The gutter and
the opening may not be clogged.
Inspect them often and clean if
necessary (e.g. with a plastic straw).
• Frost or ice build-up, 3-5 mm thick,
will increase power consumption.
Therefore, it should be regularly
removed (does not apply to NO
FROST freezer). Do not use any
sharp objects, solvents, or sprays.
• The condenser unit mounted on the
(exterior) back wall should always be
kept clean, free of dust or deposits
resulting from kitchen smoke or
fumes.. Occasionally clean the dust
using a soft non-metal brush or a
vacuum cleaner.
• After cleaning, switch the appliance
back on and insert the food.
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off
the appliance (see chapter Switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet.
!
Appliance interior can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you can
add some vinegar.
• Do not wash the parts of appliance interior equipment in a dishwasher as
they may be damaged.

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.
783660
34
Problem: Cause or remedy:
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).
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!
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.

INFORMATION ABOUT
APPLIANCE NOISE
783660
Cooling in refrigerator freezers is made possible by a cooling system that also
includes a compressor (and a fan with some appliances), which generates some
noise. The level of noise depends on installation, proper use, and age of the
appliance.
• After connecting the appliance to the power mains, compressor operation,
or the sound of fl owing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign
of malfunction and it will not a ect the useful life of the appliance. In time,
appliance operation and this noise will become quieter.
• Sometimes, unusual or loud noise may appear during appliance operation;
these are mostly the result of improper installation:
- The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
- The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.
- Make sure the interior equipment sits firmly in its place and that the noise is
not caused by cans, bottles or other containers placed next to each other.
• Due to the higher workload on the cooling system when the door is opened
more frequently or for a longer time, when a large amount of fresh food is
introduced, or when intensive freezing or cooling functions are activated, the
appliance can temporarily generate more noise.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES THAT DO NOT AFFECT THE
FUNCTIONALITY OF THE APPLIANCE.
