Food Storage

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.

• For normal working conditions, it will be
sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of
your refrigerator to +4°C.

• The temperature of the fridge compartment
should be in the range of 0-8°C, fresh foods
below 0°C are iced and rotted, bacterial load
increases above 8°C, and spoils.

• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator
immediately, wait for the temperature to pass
outside. Hot foods increase the degree of
your refrigerator and cause food poisoning
and unnecessary spoiling of the food.

• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller
compartment of the food, and the vegetable
compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if
available)

• To prevent cross contamination, meat
products and fruit vegetables are not stored
together.

• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator
in closed containers or covered to prevent
moisture and odors.

The table below is a quick guide to show you the
most efficient way to store the major food groups
in your refrigerator compartment.

Freezer Compartment

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food,
freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.

• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much
of the surface of the food as possible is in
contact with the cooling surface.

• 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.

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.

Looking after your appliance

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the unit from the power supply

before cleaning.

Do not wash your appliance by pouring water

on it.

Do not use abrasive products, detergents or

soaps for cleaning the appliance. After
washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully.
When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the
plug to the mains supply with dry hands.

• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical components.

• The appliance should be cleaned regularly
using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and
lukewarm water.

• Clean the accessories separately by hand with
soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a
dish washer.

The power supply must be disconnected
during cleaning.

Defrosting

Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment

• The evaporation tray and the water drain
hole should be cleaned periodically with the
defrost drain plug to prevent the water from
collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator
instead of flowing out.

• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring
half a glass of water down it.

The Freezer Compartment

Frost accumulated in the freezer compartment
should be removed regularly (using the plastic
scraper provided). The freezer compartment
should be cleaned in the same way as the
refrigerator compartment, with the defrost
function, at least twice a year.

For this:

• The day before you defrost, set the
thermostatdialtoposition“5”tofreezefood

completely.

• During defrosting, frozen food should be
wrapped in several layers of paper and
kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in
temperature will shorten its storage life.
Remember to use this food within a relatively
short period of time.

• Setthethermostatknobtoposition“•”

and disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Leave the door open until the unit is
completely defrosted.

• To accelerate the defrosting process, place
one or more bowls of warm water in the
freezer compartment.

• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the
thermostat knob to the MAX position.

• Defrosting occurs automatically in the
refrigerator compartment during operation.
The water is collected by the evaporation tray
and evaporates automatically.

If you require any technical guidance or find that your product is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the Troubleshooting section of these instructions.

Before Calling After-Sales Service

If you are experiencing a problem with your
refrigerator, please check the following before
contacing the after-sales service.

Your refrigerator does not operate
Check if:

• Your fridge is plugged in and switched on

• The fuse has blown

• Is the temperature adjustment right?

• The socket is faulty. To check this, plug

another working appliance into the same
socket.

Your refrigerator is performing poorly
Check if:

• The appliance is overloaded

• The doors are closed properly

• There isany dust on the condenser

• There is an adequate distance between the

appliance and surrounding walls

Your refrigerator is operating noisily

The following noises can be heard during normal
operation of the appliance.

Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:

• When the appliance is cooled or warmed
(due to expansion of appliance material).

Clicking noise occurs: When the thermostat
switches the compressor on/off.

Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is
operating normally. The compressor may
cause more noise for a short time when it is first
activated.

Bubbling noise and splashing occurs: Due to
the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the
system.

There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge
Check if:

• All food is packed properly. Containers must
be dry before being placed in the fridge.

• The refrigerator door is opened frequently.
Humidity of the room will enter the
refrigerator each time the door is opened.

Humidity increases faster if the door is
opened frequently, especially if the humidity
of the room is high.

The door is not opening or closing properly
Check if:

• There is food or packaging preventing the
door from closing

• The door compartments, shelves and drawers
are placed properly

• The door gaskets are broken or torn

The edges of the fridge in contact with the door
joint are warm

Especially during summer (warm weather),
the surfaces in contact with the door joint
may become warmer during operation of the
compressor. This is normal.

Important Notes:

• Unplug your appliance during a power cut
to prevent damage to the compressor.
Once power is restored, delay plugging in
your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes. This will
help prevent damage to the appliance's
components.

• If the appliance will not be used for a long
period of time (such as during holidays),
disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the
refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent
the formation of mildew and odour.

• If the problem persists after you have followed
all the instructions above, please consult the
nearest Authorised Service Centre.

• This appliance is designed for domestic use
and for the stated purposes only. It is not
suitable for commercial or common use. If
the consumer uses the appliance in a way
that does not comply with these instructions,
we emphasise that the manufacturer and the
dealer will not be responsible for any repair or
failure within the guarantee period.

If you require any technical guidance or find that your product is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the Troubleshooting section of these instructions.

Tips for Savıng Energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated
room, but not in direct sunlight and not near
a heat source (such as a radiator or oven)
otherwise an insulating plate should be used.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before
placing them inside the appliance.

3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator
compartment. The low temperature of the
frozen food will help cool the refrigerator
compartment while the food is thawing. This will
save energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of
the appliance will result in a waste of energy.

4. Drinks or other liquides should be covered
when inside the appliance. If left uncovered,
the humidity inside the appliance will increase,
therefore the appliance uses more energy.
Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps
preserve their smell and taste.

5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods
and opening the doors too frequently as warm
air will enter the appliance and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

6. Keep the covers of the different temperature
compartments ( such as the crisper and chiller)
closed.

7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable.
Replace gaskets if worn.
