If the doors do not close perfectly, contact your installer.
In case of frost or ice build up in the Crisper-Fresco com-
partment, due to frequent and prolonged opening of the
doors, deactivate the Crisper-Fresco function via the but-

then remove the drawer and dry the sides and bottom of
the compartment.
Clean the appliance completely according to the instruc-
tions.
Hermetically cover all the food. Do not conserve food for
prolonged periods of time.

It is normal to hear noises from the ventilators or compres-
sors during operation or during the defrost phase.
Noise could be more marked depending on the position of
the appliance and the surrounding environment.

is normal.Opening the door or drawers for prolonged peri-
ods of time can contribute to the formation of condensa-

On average, the Ice Maker produces approximately 10
cubes of ice every two and half hours.
When the Ice Maker is started for the first time, it is recom-
mended to empty the first full tray of ice cubes.
If the refrigerator was switched off for more than one month or
if the cartridge was not changed for more than six months, it
could be necessary to replace the filter cartridge.
Contact a plumber or a water treatment expert to make sure
that the problem is not due to the water supply.
If the ice is not used frequently, it is possible that blocks of
ice may form. It is recommended to remove the block of ice
cubes and then let the Ice Maker fill the ice tray again.
Make sure that the Ice Maker is on (Icemaker button on).
To switch on the Ice Maker press the button.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to the water sup-
ply.
The Ice Maker does not produce
sufficient amounts of ice
The ice has an unusual flavour or colour
If the unit you purchased was used as a showroom model it
may be in a special energy-saving mode called Demo Mode
where the appliance appears to be operating (lights work
and false temperatures are displayed) but no cooling actu-
ally takes place. If you suspect your appliance is in Demo
Mode please contact your point of purchase for assistance
with disabling this feature.
