THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Information about New Generation Cooling Technology
Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a di󰀨erent operating sy󰀬em to 󰀬atic fridges. Other (󰀬atic) 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 defro󰀬ing is required; the fridge mu󰀬 be switched o󰀨, 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 ae󰀬hetic appearance.

PART - 3.
ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Refrigerator compartment
• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of fro󰀬, always 󰀬ore liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Fro󰀬 tends to concentrate in the colde󰀬 parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defro󰀬ing.
• 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 fro󰀬 will develop and packaging will 󰀬ick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean sh are loosely wrapped and 󰀬ored on the glass shelf ju󰀬 above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the be󰀬 󰀬orage 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 a󰀨ected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, g 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 󰀬orage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not 󰀬ore 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 󰀬ored in the refrigerator. The table below is a quick guide to show you the mo󰀬 e󰀩cient way to 󰀬ore 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 sh 2 - 3 Days
Fresh cheese 3 - 4 Days On the designated door shelf

Freezer compartment
• The freezer is used for 󰀬oring 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 fa󰀬 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. Fa󰀬 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 pla󰀬ic containers are ideal.
• Do not 󰀬ore 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 defro󰀬ing
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's in󰀬ructions on food packaging when 󰀬oring frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be 󰀬ored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been 󰀬ored 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 󰀬ored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The 󰀬orage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermo󰀬at 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 in󰀬ructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum 󰀬orage 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 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 ta󰀬e of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mu󰀬ard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a 󰀬rong ta󰀬e when they are 󰀬ored 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 󰀬orage 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 pla󰀬ic cups and other food should be frozen in pla󰀬ic folios or bags.

EN -24-
Defro󰀬ing
Your refrigerator performs automatic defro󰀬ing. The water formed as a result of defro󰀬ing passes through the water collection spout, ows 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 specic time intervals. This will prevent odours from forming.

If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted.
If you are experiencing a problem with your refrigerator, please check the following before contacting 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 adju󰀬ment right?
• The socket is faulty. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket.
Your refrigerator is performing poorly
Check if:
• Is the temperature adju󰀬ment right?
• Is the door of your fridge opened frequently and left open for a long while?
• The appliance is overloaded
• The doors are closed properly
• Did you put a dish or food on your fridge so that it contacts the rear wall of your fridge so as to prevent the air circulation?
• Is your fridge lled excessively?
• There is an adequate di󰀬ance between the appliance and surrounding walls
• Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specied in the operating manual?
EN -27-
Your refrigerator is operating noisily
The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance.
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
• During automatic defro󰀬ing.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Clicking noise occurs: When the thermo󰀬at switches the compressor on/o󰀨. Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may cause
more noise for a short time when it is r󰀬 activated. Bubbling noise and splashing occurs: Due to the ow of the refrigerant in the tubes
of the sy󰀬em. Water owing noise occurs: Due to water owing to the evaporation container. This
noise is normal during defro󰀬ing. Air blowing noise occurs: During normal operation of the sy󰀬em due to the circulation
of air.
There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers mu󰀬 be dry before being placed in the fridge.
• The fridge doors are opened frequently. Humidity of the room will enter the fridge each time the doors are opened. Humidity increases fa󰀬er if the doors are opened frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
• There is a build-up of water droplets on the rear wall. This is normal after automatic defro󰀬ing (in Static Models).
The doors are 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
• Your fridge is level.
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:
• In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged in again, the gas in the cooling sy󰀬em of your refrigerator will de󰀬abilise, causing the compressor protective thermal element to open. Your refrigerator will 󰀬art to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (such as during holidays), disconnect the plug. Defro󰀬 and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odour.
• If the problem persi󰀬s after you have followed all the in󰀬ructions above, please consult the neare󰀬 Authorised Service Centre.
EN -28-
• This appliance is designed for dome󰀬ic use and for the 󰀬ated 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 in󰀬ructions, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair or failure within the guarantee period.
Hints for Energy Saving
1. In󰀬all 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 wa󰀬e of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquids 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 ta󰀬e.
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 di󰀨erent temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller) closed.
7. The door gasket mu󰀬 be clean and pliable. In case of wear, if your gasket is detachable, replace the gasket. If not detachable, you have to replace the door.
8. Eco mode / default setting function preserves fresh and frozen foods while saving energy.
9. Fresh Food Compartment (Fridge): Mo󰀬 e󰀩cient use of energy is ensured in the
conguration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance, and shelves evenly di󰀬ributed, position of door bins does not a󰀨ect energy consumption.
10. Frozen Compartment (Freezer): The internal conguration of the appliance is the one that
ensures the mo󰀬 e󰀩cient use of energy.
11. Do not remove the cold accumulators from the freezer basket (if present.).
