PART - 2.
THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Information about New Generation Cooling Technology
Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a different operating
system to static fridges. Other (static) fridges may experience a build up
of ice in the freezer compartment due to door openings and humidity in
the food. In such fridges, regular defrosting is required; the fridge must
be switched off, the frozen food moved to a suitable container and the
ice which has formed in the freezer compartment removed.
In fridges with new-generation cooling technology, a fan blows dry cold
air evenly throughout the fridge and freezer compartments. The cold air
cools your food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity and ice build-up.
In the refrigerator compartment, air blown by the fan, located at the top
of the refrigerator compartment, is cooled while passing through the gap
behind the air duct. At the same time, the air is blown out through the
holes in the air duct, evenly spreading cool air throughout the refrigerator
compartment.
There is no air passage between the freezer and refrigerator compartments,
therefore preventing the mixing of odours.
As a result, your fridge, with new-generation cooling technology, provides
you with ease of use as well as a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.

Temperature Adjustment Warnings
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C
in terms of its efficiency.
• Do not start another adjustment while you are already making an adjustment.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings,
the quantity of food kept inside the fridge and the ambient temperature in the location
of your fridge.
• In order to allow your fridge to reach the operating temperature after being connected to
mains, do not open the doors frequently or place large quantities of food in the fridge.
Please note that, depending on the ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your
fridge to reach the operating temperature.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge
when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your
fridge will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the
ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C - 43°C) intervals
stated in the standards, according to the climate
class displayed on the information label. We do
not recommend operating your appliance out of
the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling
effectiveness.
Important installation instructions

PART - 3.
ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Refrigerator compartment
• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in
sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of
the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room
temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will
develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass
shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best
storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables
(green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana,
peach, apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an
uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables.
Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should
package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major
food groups in your refrigerator compartment.
Food Maximum storage time How and where to store
Vegetables and fruits 1 week Vegetable bin
Meat and fish 2 - 3 Days
Fresh cheese 3 - 4 Days On the designated door shelf
Butter and margarine 1 week On the designated door shelf
Bottled products e.g.
milk and yoghurt
Eggs 1 month On the designated egg shelf
Cooked food 2 Days All shelves
Until the expiry date
recommended by the
producer
Wrap in plastic foil, bags, or in a meat
container and store on the glass shelf
On the designated door shelf
EN -20-
Freezer compartment
• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• To use the maximum capacity of the freezer compartment, use the glass shelves for the
upper and middle section, and use the lower basket for the bottom section.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to
be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power.
Fast freezing shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should
be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and
plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on food packaging when storing frozen
food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months
from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer
as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal
swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that
the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting,
how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport
the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the
packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated
on the appliance label.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will
not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.
Important note:
• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar,
assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.)
changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time.
Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should
be added after the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine,
calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in
plastic folios or bags.

Defrosting
Your refrigerator performs automatic defrosting. The water formed as a
result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into
the vaporisation container behind your refrigerator and evaporates there.
• Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your refrigerator
before cleaning the vaporisation container.
• Remove the vaporisation container from its position by removing
the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy water at specific time
intervals. This will prevent odours from forming.
Replacing LED Lighting
To replace any of the LEDs, please contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
Note: The numbers and location of the LED strips may change according to the model.
