which prevents it from being pulled out unintentionally.
If you wish to pull out a shelf (to move to another
position or for cleaning), please proceed as follows:
1. lift the rear end of the shelf;
2. pull out the shelf along the guides at the sides
as far as the door;
3. rotate the shelf upwards or downwards,
depending on the position of the lighting
device.
To replace the shelf, follow the procedure in reverse.
Store perishables at the back of the shelf where the
temperature is lower.
Bin
• The bin at the bottom of the refrigerator, under the glass
shelf, is intended for storing fruit and vegetables. It
provides humidity and prevents the food from drying out.
Interior side of the refrigerator door
• Mounted on the refrigerator door are compartments
(shelves or bins) intended fro storing cheese, butter,
eggs, yoghurt and other smaller packages, tubes, cans,
etc. There is a bottle shelf at the lower end of the door.
Fan
• The fan is located under the ceiling or behind the back
wall of the refrigerator compartment (or concealed in the
freezer unit) to allow more even distribution of temperature
and to reduce condensation on the storage area.

Important precautions and hints
• Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed
food, correct temperature and hygienic precautions
produce substantial impact on the quality of stored
food.
• Always respect the best before date, printed on the
packaging.
• Food to be stored in the refrigerator should be
properly packed as to prevent emission and/or
reception of moisture and odors.
• Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive
substances.
• Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be
stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical position.
• Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon or
orange peel, acids in butter etc. can cause damage
in prolonged contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets
for longer period of time they can cause accelerated
aging of the plastic material.
• Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that
something is wrong with food or that your refrigerator
needs cleaning (see chapter Cleaning).
• If you plan a longer absence, make sure you removed
quickly perishable articles of food from the appliance
before you leave.
Storage periods
Recommended periods of storing fresh food in the
refrigerator
Food Storage period
eggs, marinades, smoked meat, up to 10 days
cheese up to 10 days
carrots, etc… up to 8 days
butter up to 7 days
cake, fruit, TV-dinner dishes, raw
chunks of meat up to 2 days
fish, raw minced meat, seafood up to 1 day
STORAGE OF FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR

13
The Fresh drawer allows storing a wide variety of fresh
food to keep longer than in a conventional refrigerator.
The food stays fresh longer, retaining the flavour and
nutrients.
It lows down decay and loss of mass; 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 your food in closed containers or appropriate
packaging to prevent it from emitting or receiving
odours and moisture.
• Take the food from the drawer 30-60 minutes before
use to allow the aroma and flavour develop at room
temperature.
• Food sensitive to low temperature and not appropriate
for storage in the Fresh drawer include the following:
pineapple, avocado, bananas, olives, potatoes,
eggplant, cucumbers, beans, peppers (capsicum),
melons, watermelons, pumpkins and squash, etc.
• To remove the drawer:
- remove the vegetable bin;
- remove the glass shelf above and, with some
models, under the FreshZone drawer;
- if necessary (with some models), remove the drawer
door (1): open, hold in the middle (as shown in the
figure), bend slightly and simultaneously pull up
towards you;
- pull out the drawer to the position indicated in the
figure (detail »A«), rotate it downwards and remove it.
- to replace the drawer, observe the reverse order.
STORING FOOD IN THE FRESH COMPARTMENT

14
Freezing process
• 24 hours before freezing fresh food, activate the super
freeze function:
- use the Ckey.
After 24 hours of super freeze operation, insert the fresh
food into the freezer compartment.
Make sure the fresh food does not come into contact
with the food that is already frozen!
B
CEGADFH
In No Frost freezers, sufficient clearance should be
left under the ceiling to allow circulation of cool air.
Therefore, do not load the food higher than the indicated
mark (see figure).
• After 24 hours you may relocate the food to the
storage compartment, and repeat the freezing
procedure if required. You may also remove the
drawers and store frozen food directly on cooling
shelves. Do not remove the lower drawer if you have a
No Frost appliance!
• For freezing smaller quantities of fresh food (1-2 kg),
the engagement of the fast freeze function is not
required.
Important precautions and hints for freezing
fresh food
• Freeze only such food which is suitable for freezing
and sustain low temperatures. Food should be of
adequate quality and fresh.
• Select adequate packaging for each kind of food and
pack it correctly.
• The packaging should be air tight and well sealed
without leaking since this could cause substantial
vitamin loss and dehydration.
• Mark packages with following data: kind and amount
of foods and the date of loading.
• It is imperative that food is frozen as quickly as
possible. We therefore recommend the size of the
package not to be too large and to be cooled before
loading into the freezer.
• The amount of the fresh foods that can be loaded in
the freezer as a single load is declared on the rating
plate. If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of
freezing is reduced which in turn affects the quality of
frozen foods.
Storage of industrially frozen food
The storage time and recommended temperature for
storing commercially frozen foods is indicated on the
packaging. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions
for storage and use of frozen food. When shopping be
careful to choose only food which is adequately packed
and provided with complete data and stored in freezers
where the temperature never rises above -18°C.
Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost. This
indicates that the package was thawed before at least
once. Take care that packages don’t start to thaw during
transport to your home. Temperature rise shortens the
storage time and affects the quality of commercially
frozen foods.
Storage periods of frozen food
Recommended periods of storing frozen food in the
freezer
Food Period
Fruit, beef from 10 to12 months
Vegetables, veal, poultry from 8 to 10 months
Venison from 6 to 8 months
Pork from 4 to 6 months
Chopped (minced ) meat 4 months
Bread, pastry, TV-dinners, fat
free fish 3 months
Intestines 2 months
Smoked sausages, fat fish 1 month
Defrosting frozen food
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used
as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it
does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate
themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food,
especially fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.
FREEZING AND STORING FROZEN FOOD

15
Automatic defrosting of the refrigerator
Refrigerator needs no special defrosting procedure,
because ice deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted
automatically.
Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor
operation is defrosted when the compressor stops
operating, and condensed water drops are drained through
the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated
above the compressor where it evaporates. In case you
should notice excessive ice formation at the rear refrigerator
panel (3-5 mm thick), switch the appliance offand thaw it
manually.
Defrosting the 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.
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE

16
Prior any cleaning attempt disconnect the appliance
from the mains (see the control chapter for ON/OFF
function), and pull the power cord from the mains wall
outlet.
Make sure to remove traces of any cleansing agents you had
been using.
• Clean the exterior of the appliance with water and
liquid detergent.
• Do not use abrasive or aggressive agents (such as
stainless steel cleansers) for cleaning of plastic and
coated surfaces as you can damage them.
• Clean coated and/or aluminum surfaces with soft
cloth and alcohol based cleansing agent (for example
glass cleaners).
• Wash the interior of the appliance with liquid
detergent and lukewarm water, mixed with a little
vinegar.
• Containers, shelves, and drawers with a decorative
profile (metallic appearance) are not dishwasher safe!
They can only be cleaned with a dissolved liquid
detergent and a soft cloth. Do not rub them!
• Groove and drain outlet located underneath the
cooling panel at the rear wall collect the drained
water, so they must not be clogged (with food
particles, for example). Make sure you inspect them
periodically and clean if necessary (use plastic straw
to free the outlet hole).
• The condenser unit mounted on the (exterior) back
wall should always be kept clean, free of dust or
similar deposits.
Occasionally clean the dust using a soft non-metal
brush or a vacuum cleaner.
• Clean also the drip pan above the compressor. If you
removed the pan, please make sure you replace it to
the same position, and check that it is in completely
horizontal position!
• After cleaning, switch the appliance back on and insert
the food.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

17
Fault: Cause or remedy:
The appliance does not operate
after connection to the mains:
• Check if there is power in the socket and if the appliance is switched on.
Cooling system operates
continuously without intermittent
stoppages:
• Ambient temperature too high.
• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket, sagged door, check
gasket sealing, etc...).
• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.
• Refrigerator probe (A) is clogged with fresh food. Relocate the food to provide air
circulation around the probe (certain models only).
• Check air circulation for sufficient cooling of the compressor, and clean the
condenser.
Excessive ice formation at the
rear interior wall of the freezer:
• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Inserting hot food in the freezer.
• Food or dish is touching the rear interior panel of the refrigerator.
• Bad door sealing; clean or replace the gasket if dirty or damaged.
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.
Water dripping from the
appliance:
• Drain outlet is clogged, drain water drips past the collection groove.
• Clean the clogged outlet using plastic straw.
• Thaw thick ice deposits manually (see chapter Defrosting).
Flashing signal light H:
(only freezer)
• Frequent opening of the door, door open too long.
• Door not closed properly (particle between door gasket, sagged door, damaged
gasket, etc...).
• Excessively long power failure.
• Excessive quantity of fresh food inserted at once.
Difficult door opening: • If you attempt to open the immediately closed door of the freezer you may
experience resistance. This happens because certain quantity of cold air escapes
from the appliance through the open door and is replaced by warm ambient air.
Cooling of such air creates negative pressure (vacuum) and suction, which
prevents easy opening of the door. Situation is normalized after a few minutes
(5-10), and you can open the door with ease.
LED lighting does not work: • If the LED lighting no longer works, call an authorized ASKO service technician.
Signal light Bis flashing: • If the signal light Bis flashing, call a service technician.
Error code displayed: • If the character Eappears on the digital display (certain models only), call service
assistance.
If none of the above reasons seems to match your problem, please contact the nearest service center and state the
type, model and serial number as indicated on the label with basic information attached in the appliance interior.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

18
THE MANUFACTURER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO IMPACT TO THE
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE.
The refrigerator – freezer appliances are cooled by the
refrigeration system with a compressor (assisted by
fan in certain models) whose operation may produce
certain noise. The level of such noise depends upon the
location, correct use and age of the appliance.
• After starting the appliance, the operation of the
compressor (the refrigerant flow) may be somewhat
louder. This does not mean that something is wrong
with the appliance, neither has it any influence on
the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise is
reduced and eventually subsides.
• Sometimes the appliance produces unusual and
stronger noise which is rather unusual for the
appliance. This noise is often the consequence of
inadequate positioning of the appliance:
- The appliance should be placed and leveled firmly on
solid base.
- It should not touch the wall or adjacent kitchen units
standing next to it.
- Check whether the accessories in the interior of the
appliance are placed correctly in their positions; also
check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might
touch each other and rattle.
Instructions for use of the appliance can also be found on our website at www.asko.com
