Switching the icemaker on/off

If you do not need ice, turn off this function to save water and electricity.

The Eco function will also be deactivated when you change the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperature setting, or when you activate any of the other extra functions.

Use this function when you are away for a long period of time, for example when you are going on holiday or taking a long business trip.

• When this function is activated, the refrigerator compartment temperature will be set to 15°C and the freezer compartment temperature will be set to -18°C.

Power off: turn off the function by pressing the E key again until the symbol E1 goes out.

Generally speaking, the water filter should be replaced every 6 months to ensure the highest possible water quality. After approximately 3,800 litres of water have come out of the refrigerator or when you have been using the water filter for about 6 months, the filter icon will startblinking and the refrigerator will beep three times to remind you that the filter needs to be replaced.

First you need to buy a new water filter. You can buy a new water filter from the retailer where you bought your refrigerator or from an authorised service technician.

Make sure that the new filter is of the same type as the previous one and that you can use it correctly with your refrigerator.

Empty shelves can be rearranged as you see fit across the guides in the appliance interior without having to remove them from the appliance. To move or remove a shelf from the appliance, pull it towards you, lift it up at the front and then move or pull it out of the appliance. Store quickly perishable food at the back of the shelf where the temperature is the lowest.

The drawers at the bottom of the refrigerator are meant for storing fruits and vegetables. They provide humidity and prevent the food from drying out.

• Advanced MultiFlow system evenly distributes the air and equalizes the temperature throughout the refrigerator. This system also allows placing any type of food on any shelf in the fridge, as there are not temperature differences between them.

By pressing "cubed" (ice cubes), "crushed" (crushed ice) or "water", you can choose whether ice (and in what form) or cold water comes from the dispenser.

After selecting the type of ice, gently press on the lever of the dispenser with a cup or glass. Ice will come out of the appliance. Make sure that the cup or glass is pressed against the machine so that the ice falls into it.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

• 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.

• Activate the super freeze function 24 hours before freezing fresh food:

  • by long pressing (3 seconds), until the following symbol lights up .

• Then you can put fresh food in the freezer area.

Make sure the fresh food is not in contact with the food that is already frozen.

• When freezing smaller amounts of food (1-2 kilograms), activating the super freeze function is not required.

• 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 it has been partly thawed several times and that it is 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.

Recommended storage time in the freezer

Type of food	Storage life
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
Finely chopped or minced meat	4 months
Bread, pastas, cooked dishes, whitefish	3 months
Offal	2 months
Smoked sausage, bluefish	1 month

• Thawing is an important step in storing food preserved by freezing. Food must be thawed in the correct way.

• Suitable methods of thawing food are:

  • in the refrigerator;

  • in cold water;

  • in a microwave or conventional oven with a suitable thaw program.

• Some frozen products can be prepared without needing to thaw them first. The manufacturer will state this on the packaging.

• The food needs to be packed in small portions. In this way the food thaws faster.

• Use partially or completely thawed food as quickly as possible. The bacteria in thawed food are reactivated and the food will spoil rapidly. This applies in particular to fruit, vegetables and ready-made food.

• Do not refreeze partially or completely thawed food.

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.

• The NoFrost freezer will defrost automatically. Any frost layer that may build up occasionally will disappear automatically.
