Information about the New
Generation Cooling Technology

The New Generation Cooling Technology
refrigerators are different from the other static
refrigerators in terms of their operational system.

In normal fridge freezers, the humidity entering
the fridge freezer due to opening the door and
the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing
in the freezer compartment. To defrost the
frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you
are periodically required to turn off the fridge,
place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a
separately cooled container and remove the ice
gathered in the freezer compartment.

The situation is completely different in no-frost
refrigerators. Dry and cold air is blown into the
fridge and freezer compartments homogeneously
and evenly from several points via a blower fan.
Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly
between the shelves cools all of your food equally
and uniformly, thus preventing humidity and
freezing.

Therefore your New Generation Cooling
Technology fridge freezer allows you ease of
use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish
appearance.

Thermostat setting

It ensures that the temperature settings in the
cooling and freezing compartments of your

be set to any value ranging from 1 to 5. As you
turn the thermostat setting knob from 1 to 5, the
temperature decreases. To save energy in winter
months, operate your refrigerator in a lower

Warnings about Temperature
Adjustments

• It is not recommended that you operate your
fridge in environments colder than 10 oC in
terms of its efficiency.

• Temperature adjustments should be made
according to the frequency of doors openings
and the quantity of food kept inside the
fridge-freezer.

• Your fridge-freezer should be operated
up to 24 hours according to the ambient
temperature without interruption after being
plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not
open doors of your fridge-freezer frequently
and do not place much food inside it in this
period.

• During power cut, to prevent any compressor
problem you should unplug the fridge­freezer. You should delay pluging in 5 – 10
minutes after your power supply returns. 0f
you plug out the fridge-freezer for a reason
you should wait at least 5 min to replug. It
is important for avoiding damage to fridge­freezer's components.

• Your fridge-freezer is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature intervals according
to the climate class stated on the information
label. In terms of cooling effectiveness, we do
not recommend operating your fridge-freezer
outside of the stated temperature values.

• This equipment is designed for use at an
ambient temperature within the 16°C - 38°C
range.

Arranging Food in the Appliance

Food storage in the fridge compartment

• The fridge compartment is used for storing
fresh food for a few days.

• Do not place food in direct contact with the
rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Leave some space around food to allow for
the circulation of air.

• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquids
in the refrigerator.

• Always store food in closed containers or
wrapped.

• To reduce humidity and avoid the formation
of frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator.

• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is
recommended to be placed on the glass shelf
just above the vegetable bin, where the air is
colder.

• You can put fruits and vegetables into the
crisper without packaging.

• To prevent cold air escaping, try not to open
the refrigerator door too often, and do not
leave the door open for long periods.

Food storage in the freezer compartment

• Please use the deep freeze compartment of
your refrigerator for storing frozen food for a
long time and producing ice.

• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh
food properly - the packaging should be
airtight and should not leak. Special freezer
bags, aluminium foil (heavy grade; if in doubt
double-wrap), polythene bags, and plastic
containers are ideal.

• Do not allow fresh food to be frozen to come
into contact with already frozen food.

• Always mark the date and the content on the
pack and do not exceed the stated storage
time.

• In case of a power failure or malfunction,
the freezer compartment will maintain a
sufficiently low temperature for food storage.

However, avoid opening the freezer door
in order to slow down the temperature rise
within the freezer compartment.

• Please place the food you would like to freeze
initially in the upper basket of the deep freeze
in such a way that it does not exceed the
declared freezing capacity of your refrigerator.
Please do not place the food to be frozen
near the already frozen food. You may place
your food next to the other frozen food after
it has frozen (for at least 24 hours).

• The maximum amount of fresh foods that
can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours
is indicated on the name plate (see Freezing
Capacity).

• During long lasting power cuts, please
do not open the door of the deep freeze
compartment. Your refrigerator will preserve
your frozen food in an ambient temperature
of 25°C for about 13 hours. This value falls in
higher ambient temperatures. During longer
lasting power cuts, do not refreeze your food
and consume it as soon as possible.

• Never place warm food in the freezer
compartment.

• When purchasing and storing frozen food
products, ensure that the packaging is not
damaged.

• Storage time and recommended temperature
for storing frozen food is indicated on the
packaging. For storing and usage, follow the
manufacturer's instructions. If no information
is provided, food should not be stored for
more than 3 months.

• Following purchase, place frozen food in the
freezer compartment as soon as possible.

• Once food is thawed it must not be refrozen;
you must cook it as quickly as possible for
consumption or freeze once again.

Additional Storage: if you want to use the freezer's
maximum net capacity, remove the drawers and
store items directly on the cooling tubes. This will
enable you to make use of the entire volume of
the compartment.

Tips for Saving Energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated
room, but not in direct sunlight or near heat

sources (radiators, cooker, etc....).

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down
before placing in the appliance.

3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the
refrigerator compartment. The frozen food
will help to cool the refrigerator compartment
when it is thawing.

4. When placing liquids in the appliance they
must be covered.

5. When placing food and drinks, open the
appliance door as briefly as possible.

6. Keep closed the covers of any different
temperature compartments in the appliance
(crisper, chiller ...etc ).

7. Door seals should be kept clean and
undamaged.

Accessories

Ice tray

• Fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer
compartment.

• After the water has completely frozen , you
can twist the tray as shown below to get the
ice cubes.

Fresh dial

When the humidity controler in the closed
position, it allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be
stored longer.

In case of the crisper is totally full, the fresh dial is
located in front of crisper, should be opened. By
means of this the air in the crisper and humidity
rate will be controlled and endurance life will be
increased.

If you see any condensation on glass shelf,
humidity control should be taken into the open
positions.

! All written and visual descriptions in the

accessories may vary according to the
appliance model.

Bottle holder (In some models)

In order to prevent bottles from slipping or falling
over, you can use the bottle holder. This will also
help to prevent the noise made by bottles when
opening or closing the door.
