STORING FOOD
Storing fresh food in the refrigerator
Important recommendations for storing fresh food
•
To ensure the quality of fresh food, it is important that:
▷▷
the food is well-packaged;
▷▷
the appliance is at the correct temperature;
▷▷
the appliance is clean.
•
Take good note of the use-by date stated on the food packaging.

and allow the parts to dry thoroughly before you put them back into the refrigerator.
•
Warning: Wood is a natural material. This means that it will be difficult to remove some
stains (especially red wine and oil).
•
Wooden accessories that have dried out will need to be treated with a wood oil. This
product must be suitable for treating surfaces that come into direct contact with food.
When you are not going to use the appliance for a longer period then switch it off with
the appropriate key and disconnect it from the mains. Empty, defrost and clean the
appliance, and leave the door ajar.
When you have any doubts about whether your appliance is working properly you should not
immediately assume that it is defective. We recommend that you should in any case check the
points in the following table.
Problem
Cause/Solution
Appliance is
connected to the
power supply but
is not working.
Check that the socket is live and that the appliance is switched on.
Appliance cools
continuously for a
long time.
A
The compressor is operating for a longer time at low capacity (low
energy consumption / high efficiency). This is the most efficient form
of operation. The following factors can also influence the appliance's
operation:
• The ambient temperature is too high.
• The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.
• The door is not closed properly.
• The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is
misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.).
• Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.
• Insufficient air circulation around the compressor and condenser.
Check that the ventilation around the appliance is sufficient (see the
separate installation instructions).
• The sensor in the refrigerator is blocked by fresh food. Make sure that
air can circulate freely around the sensor (not applicable to all models).
Condensation on
the glass shelf
above the drawers
in the refrigeration
compartment.
• Check that the door is closed properly and seals properly.
• This is a temporary problem that cannot be avoided entirely in
periods of high ambient temperatures and high humidity. The problem
disappears when the temperature and humidity return to normal
levels. We recommend that you clean the drawers more frequently and
occasionally wipe off any drips.
• Pack food in bags or other air-tight packaging.
Alarm key and/or
temperature
display flashing.
• The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.
• The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is
misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.).
• Too much fresh food has been put in at the same time.
FAULTS
Door does not
open easily.
You are trying to open the appliance's door just after you have closed
the door. Then opening the door is difficult. When you open the door,
cold air escapes from the appliance and is replaced by warm air from the
surroundings. As this air cools a slight vacuum is created that makes it
more difficult to open the door. The situation returns to normal after a few
minutes, and the door opens easily again.
Some or all of the
LED lighting does
not work.
Consult a service technician about LED lighting that is not working. You
may not try to repair LED lighting.
Appliance makes a
noise.
• The appliance is cooled by a refrigeration system with a compressor
(and with some models, also a fan) that makes a noise. The noise level
depends on the installation of the appliance, its correct use and its
age.
• When you connect the appliance to the power supply the noise made
by the compressor or flowing refrigerant may be slightly louder. This is
not indicative of a defect, and has no effect on the service life of the
appliance. The appliance will make less noise after a while.
• The appliance may be temporarily noisier after the door has been
opened for too long or too frequently, a large quantity of fresh food has
been put in the appliance or the intensive cooling function has been
activated.
‘LL’ code shown in
the display.
Child lock has been activated. See the chapter ‘Child Lock’.
‘PF’ code shown in
the display.
Lengthy power failure. See the chapter ‘Power failure alarm’.
Error code E0
shown in the
display.
The touch keys do not respond. Call the service centre to make an
appointment for repair work. The appliance operates in the safe mode
until it has been repaired. The appliance automatically retains the most
suitable temperature for each compartment.
Error code E1, E2
or E3 shown in the
display.
A temperature sensor is defective. Call the service centre to make an
appointment for repair work. The appliance operates in the safe mode
until it has been repaired. The appliance automatically retains the most
suitable temperature for each compartment.
Error code E9
shown in the
display.
• A door has been open for too long: close the door.
• If the lighting in the compartment has also stopped working then
the door sensor is defective. Call the service centre to make an
appointment for repair work. The appliance operates in the safe mode
until it has been repaired. The appliance automatically retains the most
suitable temperature for each compartment.
If you are unable to solve the problem then contact the service centre. When you do so, state the
type, model and serial number shown on the type plate or label on the inside of the appliance.
FAULTS
Disposal of packaging and appliance
This appliance is made from sustainable materials. This appliance must be disposed of in a
responsible manner at the end of its service life. Contact the local authorities for information
about the method.
See also the chapter ‘Disposal’ in the Safety instructions.
The packaging of the appliance is recyclable. The following materials may have been used:
•
Cardboard.
•
Polyethylene foil (PE).
•
CFC-free polystyrene (hard PS foam).
These materials must be disposed of in a responsible manner and in accordance with
government regulations.
The appliance is marked with a crossed out wheeled bin symbol to
draw your attention to the requirement for the separate disposal of
domestic electrical appliances. This means that the appliance may
not be disposed of in unsorted household waste at the end of its
service life. The appliance must be taken to a special municipal waste
processing location for separated waste or to a dealer who provides
this service.
Collecting and disposing of domestic appliances separately avoids
detrimental consequences for humans and the environment. This
ensures that the materials used to make the appliance can be
recovered and that substantial savings in the use of energy and raw
materials can be achieved.
