STORING FOOD IN THE
FRESHZONE DRAWER
413758
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.
32
STORING FOOD IN THE
ZEROZONE DRAWER
413758
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,

FREEZING AND STORING
FROZEN FOOD
413758
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:
- Control unit 1: rotate the A dial towards the thickest part of the marking;
- Control unit 2: rotate the A dial to position
.
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
35
413758
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
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.
37
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
413758
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.
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.
38
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
413758
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.
• 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.
Appliance interior can be cleaned with lukewarm water to which you can add some
vinegar.
• 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.

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:
A
B
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 or B) 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).

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.
Door is difficult to open: 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.

INFORMATION ABOUT
APPLIANCE NOISE
413758
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.
Instructions for use of the appliance can also be found on our website at www.gorenje.
