Using the appliance
Information on No-Frost Technology (Fig. 2.2)
No-frost freezers have a dierent operating system to static
freezers. In normal (static) freezers, the humidity entering the
freezers due to opening the door and the humidity inherent
in the food causes ice to form in the freezer compartment.
To remove the frost and ice from the freezer compartment,
it is required to periodically switch the fridge o and place
frozen food in a separate cooled container.
The situation is completely dierent in Nofrost fridges. A
built-in fan blows dry and cold air evenly into the cooler
and freezer compartments. The cold air disperses uniformly
between the shelves, ensuring all your food is cooled evenly,
thus preventing humidity and icing to occur.
Therefore, your No-frost fridge allows ease of use, in addition
to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.
In the refrigerator compartment, there will be nearly same
conguration with freezer compartment. Air, that is emitted
with the fan, located at the top of refrigerator compartment,
is cooled while passing through the gap behind the air duct.
At the same time, air is blown out through the holes on the
air duct so that cooling process is successfully completed in
the refrigerator compartment.
Fig. 2.2
Holes in the air duct are designed such that the air
distribution becomes homogenous in this compartment.
As there is no air passage between freezer and refrigerator
compartment, there will be no odor mixing.
As a result of these, your fridge with new generation cooling
technology, gives you, ease of use beside the huge volume
and esthetic appearance.

4. Food Storage Tips
Food storage
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.
• To use the maximum freezing capacity of your freezer
move the frozen food in the upper basket to other
baskets and activate “Super freeze” mode. “Super freeze”
mode will be deactivated automatically after 24 hours.
Place the food you want to freeze to the upper basket
of the freezer without exceeding the freezing capacity
of your freezer. Then reactivate the “Super freeze” mode.
You can put your food next to other frozen food after
it is completely frozen (minimum 24 hours after “Super
freeze” mode is activated for the 2nd time).
• To freeze a small amount of food (up to 3 kg) in your
freezer, place your food without touching already frozen
food and activate “Super freeze” mode. You can put your
food next to other frozen food after it is completely
frozen (after minimum 24 hours).
Attention. To save energy, when freezing small
amounts of food, reset the temperature to the
previous value as soon as the food is completely
frozen.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• To use the maximum load capacity of your freezer, and
to store large quantities of food, remove all drawers
except the bottom one. Large items can be stored
directly on the shelves.
