Information On No-Frost Technology
No-f rost ref rigerators
differ from other static
refrigerators in the way
they work.
In st atic fri dges, th e
humidity enter ing the
fridge due to door
ope ning s and the
humidity inherent in food
causes freezing in the
freezer compartment. To
defrost the frost and ice in
the freezer compartment,
you are perio dically
required to turn off the
appliance, place the food
that needs to be kept
frozen in a separately
cooled container, and
remove the ice gathered
in the fr eeze r
compartment.
Customer Helpline: 0345 257 7271
It is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry
and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer
compartments continuously and evenly from
several points via a blower fan. Cold air
dispersed continuously and evenly between
the shelves cools all of your food equally and
uniformly, thus preventing humidity and
freezing.
Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease
of use, in addition to its huge capacity and
stylish appearance.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
Customer Helpline: 0345 257 7271
If your refrigerator is not working:
• Is there an electrical failure?
• Has the plug been correctly connected to the
socket?
• Has there been a blow-out in the fuse or
breaker of the electrical circuit to which the plug
has been connected?
• Are there any faults with the socket? For this
purpose, try the plug of your refrigerator by
connecting it to a socket which you are sure is
working.
If your refrigerator does not get cold
enough:
• Is the thermostat set correctly?
• Are the doors of your refrigerator opened very
frequently and do they remain open for long
periods of time?
• Do the doors of your refrigerator fully close and
are the door gaskets sealed correctly?
.
If there is still noise:
• Has your refrigerator been leveled? Have the
feet been adjusted and set correctly?
• Is there anything behind your refrigerator?
• Are the shelves or the plates on the shelves
of your fridge vibrating? If so, then rearrange
the shelves and/or accordingly.
• Are the goods placed in the appliance
vibrating? Secure them or rearrange on the
shelf.
Crackling (Ice Cracking) Noise:
• It is sometimes heard during the
automatic defrosting process as the ice
which has formed on the cooling coil
melts and falls into the drainage tray.
Short Cracking Noise: It is sometimes
heard when the thermostat turns the
compressor on and off.
• Are any containers or dishes placed in your
refrigerator touching the back wall in such a
way that they are obstructing the air circulation?
• Is your refrigerator over-filled?
• Is there enough space bet ween you r
refrigerator and the back and side walls?
If the food in the Cooling/Freezing
compartment is colder than necessary:
• Has a suitable temperature been selected ?
(Is the thermostat control selected as position
“5”?)
• Is there too much newly placed food in the
deep freeze compartment?
If there is, the compressor shall operate longer
for freezing it; hence it may also possibly be
cooling the food in the cooling compartment
more than necessary.
If your refrigerator is operating noisily:
The compressor shall from time to time energize
to ensure that the adjusted coolness level remain
fixed. The noise that may be heard from the
refrigerator at that time is normal.
Once the required coolness level has been
achieved, the noise should automatically
reduce.
Compressor Noise:
• It is a normal engine noise. This noise
indicates tha t the compre ssor is
operating normally.
• As the compressor first switched on, it
might run a bit more noisey initially for
a short period of time.
Bubbling and gurgling sound: This noise
is emitted as the coolant fluid flows through
the pipes within the system.
Water flowing sound: This is the normal
sound of water flowing into the drainage tray
during the defrosting process.
Air blowing sound: It is the normal fan
sound. This sound may be heard due to air
circulation in No Frost refrigerators when
the system is operating normally.
If the edges of the refrigeration cabinet
near the door seals are hot:
• Especially in summer months (in hot
weather), there might be warming of the
surfaces contacted by the seal on the
refrigerator. This is normal.
13
Customer Helpline: 0345 257 7271
If there is moisture on the inner parts
of your refrigerator:
• Has the food been properly packaged and
sealed? Have the containers been well dried
before they were put into the refrigerator?
• Are the doors of the refrigerator opened very
frequently? Once the door is opened, the
hum idit y fo und in the air enter s the
refrigerator. Especially if the humidity levels
in the room are ver y high. The more
frequently the door is opened, the faster the
humidification.
If the doors are not being properly
closed:
• Is food preventing the doors from closing?
• Have the door compartments, shelves and
drawers been properly positioned?
• Are the door seals defective or torn?
• Is your refrigerator standing on level ground?
we shall not be responsible for any repair and
failure within the guarantee period.
• The lifetime of your appliance stated and
declared by the Department of Industry (the
period for retaining parts required for the
proper functioning of the appliance) is 10
years.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• In case of a sudde n po wer loss or
disconnecting and reconnecting of the plug
to the electrical socket, the compressor
protective thermal element will be opened as
the pressure of the gas in the cooling system
of your refrige rato r has not yet been
balanced. In 4 or 5 minutes, your refrigerator
will start to operate; this is normal.
• If you won’t be using your refrigerator for a
long time (such as on summer holidays),
please disconnect the plug from the socket.
Clean your refrigerator as per Part 4 of these
instructions and leave the door open to
prevent any humidification or odour forming.
