4 FOOD STORAGE
4.1 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
sh 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, g etc.).
EN - 20
• 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 ow
passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the
recommended expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic
should not be stored in the refrigerator.

4.2 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.
EN - 21
• For optimum appliance performance
to reach maximum freezing capacity,
set the refrigerator thermostat at 4 - 5
for 24 hours before placing fresh food
into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the
freezer, change the setting to 4 - 5 for
24 hours is generally sufcient. After
24 hours, you can reduce the setting
if required.
• 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 shef is the bottom drawer of
the freezer compartment.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer
door immediately after closing it, you
will nd 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.

5 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
nished 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.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at
least twice a year. This will help you
to save on energy costs and increase
productivity.
The power supply must be
disconnected during cleaning.
5.1 Defrosting
Defrosting the Refrigerator
Compartment
EN - 24
• Defrosting occurs automatically in
the refrigerator compartment during
operation. The water is collected by
the evaporation tray and evaporates
automatically.
• 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 owing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by
pouring half a glass of water down it.
Freezer defrosting process
• Small amounts of frost will accumulate
inside the freezer, depending on
the length of time the door may be
left open or the amount of moisture
introduced. It is essential to ensure
that no frost or ice is allowed to form
in places where it will affect the close
tting of the door seal. This might
allow air to penetrate the cabinet,
encouraging continuous running of
the compressor. Thin frost formation
is quite soft and can be removed with
a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use
metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical
devices or other means to accelerate
the defrosting process. Remove all
dislodged frost from the cabinet oor.
It is not necessary to switch off the
appliance for the removal of thin frost.
• For the removal of heavy ice deposits,
disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply, empty the contents into
cardboard boxes and wrap in thick
blankets or layers of paper to keep
cool. Defrosting will be most effective
if carried out when the freezer is
nearly empty and should be carried
out as quickly as possible to prevent
an unnecessary increase in the
temperature of the contents.
• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers,
mechanical devices or other means
to accelerate the defrosting process.
An increase in temperature of frozen
food during defrosting will shorten
the storage life. Keep contents well
wrapped and cool while defrosting is
taking place.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with
a sponge or a clean cloth.
• To accelerate the defrosting process,
place one or more bowls of warm
water in the freezer compartment.
• Examine the contents when replacing
them in the freezer and if some of
the packages have thawed out, they
should be eaten within 24hours, or be
cooked and re-frozen.
• After defrosting is complete, clean the
inside of the appliance with a solution
of warm water and a little bicarbonate
of soda, then dry thoroughly. Wash all
removable parts in the same way and
reassemble. Reconnect the appliance
to the mains supply and leave for 2 to
3 hours on setting number '5' before
introducing the food back into the
freezer.

7 BEFORE CALLING AFTER-
SALES SERVICE
If your refrigerator is not working properly,
there may be a minor problem. Check the
following.
The appliance does not operate
Check if:
• There is power
• The mains is connected
• The thermostat setting is on the “•”
position
• The socket is defective. To check this,
plug another working appliance into
the same socket.
The appliance performs poorly
Check if:
• The appliance is overloaded
• The doors are closed properly
• There is any dust on the condenser
• There is enough space near the rear
and side walls.
The appliance is noisy
The cooling gas which circulates in the
refrigerator circuit may make a slight
noise (bubbling sound) even when the
compressor is not running. Do not worry,
this is normal. If you hear a different sound,
check whether:
• The appliance is level
• Anything is touching the rear of the
appliance
• Objects in the appliance are vibrating.
There is water in the lower part of the
refrigerator
Check if:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged
(use defrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole).
About the water dispenser;
If the water ow is abnormal;
Check that;
• The tank is well installed.
• The tank gaskets are well
assembled.
If dripping occurs;
Check that;
• The tap is well assembled.
• The tap gaskets are well
assembled.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched off or
unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes
before plugging the appliance in
or restarting it in order to prevent
damage to the compressor.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is
located at the rear of the appliance.
Therefore, water droplets or ice may
form on the rear surface of your
fridge due to the operation of the
compressor at specied intervals. This
is normal, there is no need to perform
a defrosting operation unless there is
excessive ice.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge
for a long period of time (such as
during the summer holidays), set
the thermostat to “•” position, defrost
and clean your fridge, leaving the
door open to prevent the formation of
mildew and odour.
