fuses of the electrical system in your
home
THERE IS WATER IN THE DEFROST
PAN
This is normal in hot, damp weather.
The pan can even be half full.
› Make sure the appliance is level so
that the water does not overow.
THE EDGES OF THE APPLIANCE

THE MOTOR SEEMS TO RUN TOO
MUCH
Motor running time depends on
dierent things: number of door
openings, amount of food stored,
temperature of the room, setting of the
temperature controls.
› Make sure that the appliance controls
are correctly set.
› Check if there is not a large amount of
food been added to the appliance.

tted.
› On hot days or if the room is warm,
the motor naturally runs longer.
› If the appliance door has been left
open for a while or if large amounts of
food have been stored, the motor will
run longer in order to cool down the
interior of the appliance.
THE DOORS DO NOT OPEN AND
CLOSE PROPERLY
There could be various causes (see
“Solutions”)

FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum
and glass containers and cling lm to
wrap foods.
Always use closed containers for liquids
and for food that may give o or be
tainted by odor or avor transfer or
cover them.
If you have a little quantity of food to
store in the refrigerator, we recommend
to use the shelves above the crisper for
fruits and vegetables since this is the
coolest area of the compartment.
Foods which give o a large amount
ethylene gas and those that are
sensitive to this gas, such as fruit,
vegetables and salad, should always
be separated or wrapped so as not to
reduce the storage life; for example do
not store tomatoes together with kiwi
fruits or cabbage.
To avoid bottles falling over, you can
use the bottle holder (available on
selected models).
Do not store food too close together to
enable sucient air circulation.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
The freezer is the ideal storage location
for store frozen food, make ice cubes
and freeze fresh food in the freezer
compartment.
The maximum number of kilograms
of fresh food that can be frozen within
a 24-hour period is indicated on the
rating plate (…kg/24h).
If you have a little quantity of food to
store in the freezer, we recommend to
use the coldest areas of your freezer
compartment, corresponding to the
bottom area.
