CHAPTER 1.

BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE

Information on No-Frost Technology

No-frost fridges differ from other static fridges in their

operating principle.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge in
the door openings and the humidity of the food causes
freezing in the freezer department. To defrost the snow and
ice in the freezer department, you should turn off the fridge,
take the food that needs to be kept in a constant
temperature off the fridge, and remove the ice gathered in
the freezer department periodically.

The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges.
Dry and cold air is blowed to the fridge and freezer
departments homogeneously from several points via a
blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously even
between the shelves cools all your food equally and
uniformly, thus prevents humidity and freezing.

Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use,
besides its huge volume and stylish appearance.

Safety Instructions

• If the model contains R600a-see name plate under refrigerant (the coolant isobutane),
naturals gas that, is very environmentally friendly but also combustible. When
transporting and installing the unit care must be taken to ensure that none of the
refrigeration circuit components become damaged. In the event of damage avoid
naked flames or ignition sources and ventilate the room in which the unit is placed
for a few minutes.

Warning: Keep ventilation openings in appliance enclosure or in structure for building

in, clear of obstruction.

• Do not use mechanical devices or other artificial means to accelerate the defrosting
process.

Installing and Operating your Freezer

• Before making the connection to the power supply, ensure that the voltage on the

• Operating voltage for your freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.

• Before starting to use your fridge, please call the nearest Authorized service and get
free help on the installation, operation and usage of your fridge.

• Mains cord of your fridge has a grounded plug. This plug should be used with a
grounded receptacle that has a 16 amper fuse minimum. If you don’t have a
receptacle confirming with this, please have it done by a qualified electirician.

• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should
be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer
surface. Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your
fridge in a suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on
the upper side.

• If you will place your fridge next to your kitchen cabinets, leave a
space of 2 cm between them.

• Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black vanes
at the rear) by turning it 90° to prevent the condenser from
touching the wall.

• The adjustable front legs should stabilized in an appropriate
height to allow your fridge operate in a stable and proper way.
You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise (or in the
opposite direction). This should be done before placing food in
the fridge.
