  • Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant 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 fish 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 off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

Defrosting the appliance

Automatic refrigerator defrosting

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.

Make sure the opening in the back wall in the refrigerator interior is never blocked by food or any other object.

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.

Cleaning the appliance

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.

  • Do not wash the parts of appliance interior equipment in a dishwasher as they may be damaged.

  • A gutter and an opening for discharging the water from thawed frost deposits 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).

The condenser unit, located next to the compressor unit on the back of the appliance (only with some models), has to be kept clean, free of dust or other impurities. Occasionally clean it 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:

SLIKA_TIPALO

  • 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).

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 or containers in contact with the back interior wall of the refrigerator.

  • Poor door sealing.

  • If the seal is dirty or damaged, clean or replace it.

Condensate (dew) on the shelf above the drawers:

  • This is 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.

  • Put food in bags or other packaging with a good seal.

Droplets on the refrigerator compartment back wall.

  • This is normal. The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically, which results in droplets of water that flows through an opening in the refrigerator compartment back wall into a tray above the compressor unit, from which it evaporates.

Water is dripping/leaking from the refrigerator:

  • Clogged water discharge opening or water dripping past the water gutter.

  • Clean the blocked opening, e.g. using a kunststof straw.

  • If a thick layer of ice builds up, defrost the appliance manually (see Defrosting the Appliance).

Appliance sides are warm:

  • This is normal. There are pipes and tubes installed in the appliance sides, which tend to heat up during appliance operation.

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!

HI will appear on the display unit:

  • Door opened too frequently or too long.

  • Door not closed correctly (possible impurities on the seal, misaligned door, damaged seal etc.).

  • An extended power failure.

  • Too much fresh food inserted at once.

PF will appear on the display unit:

  • An extended power failure.

E0 or E8 appears on the display unit:

  • Sensor keys are not responding. Call a service centre for repair.

  • Until the appliance is repaired by a service technician, the appliance will operate in safe mode. The appliance will automatically maintain the most suitable temperature.

E2 will appear on the display unit:

  • Temperature sensor error or fault. Call a service centre for repair. Until the appliance is repaired by a service technician, the appliance will operate in safe mode. The appliance will automatically maintain the most suitable temperature.

E4 appears on the display unit:

  • Compartment fan failure. Call a service centre for repair. The appliance cannot operate normally. Transfer the food to a cool place and switch off the appliance.

E9 appears on the display unit:

  • Door was open for too long. Close the door.

  • If the door is not open, or if E9 is still displayed 10 minutes after you have closed the door, then there is a door sensor failure. Call a service centre to arrange a repair. The appliance will operate in safe mode until it is repaired. The appliance will automatically preserve the most suitable temperature for each compartment.

If the above tips do not resolve your problem, call the nearest authorized service centre and state the type, model, and serial number indicated on the appliance rating plate or label located in the appliance interior.

Information about appliance noise

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 flowing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign of malfunction and it will not affect the useful life of the appliance. In time, appliance operation and this noise will become quieter.

  • Sometimes, unusual or loud noises 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 rattling 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.
