If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator,
Check if:
• The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
• If your fridge is not cooling sufficiently:
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards,
according to the climate class stated on the information label. We do not recommend operating
your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the
fridge.

Recommendations
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden at the rear of the appliance.
Therefore, water droplets or icing may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to the
operation of the compressor at specified intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a
defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.
• If the appliance will not be used for a long time (for example during the summer holidays), set
the thermostat knob to position “ • ”. Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open
to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat
source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of
the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This will help
to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.
4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases
in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids
helps to preserve smell and taste.
5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc ) closed
7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
