3 USING THE APPLIANCE
3.1Information on the Frost Free Technology
The Frost Free refrigerators have a different operating system to static refrigerators.
In normal (static) fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to opening the
door, and the humidity inherent in the food,
causes frost build-up in
the freezer compartment. To defrost the frost
and ice in the freezer compartment, you are
required to periodically switch off the fridge, place the frozen food
in a separate cooled
container, then remove the ice gathered in the
freezer compartment.
The situation is completely different in Nofrost fridges. A built-in fan
blows dry and cold air evenly throughout the cooler and freezer compartments. The cold air disperses uniformly between the shelves, ensuring all your food is cooled equally, thus preventing humidity and frost build-up.
Therefore, your No-frost fridge allows ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

Super cooling mode will be automatically cancelled after 5 hours.
3.3.4 Alarm light
In case of a problem within the fridge, the alarm led will release red light.
3.4 Temperature Adjustment Warnings
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than
10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• Do not start another adjustment while you are already making an adjustment.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the fridge and the ambient temperature in the location of your fridge.
• In order to allow your fridge to reach the operating temperature after being connected to mains, do not open the
doors frequently or place large quantities of food in the fridge. Please note that, depending on the ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your fridge to reach the operating temperature.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature (T/N = 16°C -
43°C) intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class displayed on the information label. We do not recommend operating your appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
Climate class and meaning:
T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.
ST (subtropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C.
N (temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C.
SN (extended temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C.

Always keep hold of the handle of the box while removing it.
3.5.3 The Fresh Dial
Fresh dial
If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located in front of the crisper should be opened. This allows the air in the crisper and the humidity rate to be controlled, to increase the life of food within.
The dial, located behind the shelf, must be opened if any condensation is seen on the glass shelf.
EN - 14
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 fish 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 ethylenereleaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig 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 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 flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are
iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause
food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.
