3.1 Information about New Generation Cooling Technology
Fridges with new-ge­neration cooling tech­nology have a diffe­rent operating system to static fridges. Other (static) 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 defrosting is required; the fridge must be switched off, 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 refrigerator 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 aesthetic appearance.

4 Food storage
4.1 Refrigerator compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the refrigerator com­partment to +4 or +6 °C.
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 suitable containers of the fruit
and vegetable drawer.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items
in the suitable fruit and vegetable
drawer.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separa­tely helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethy­lenereleaser 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 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.

4.2 Freezer compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the freezer compart­ment to -18 or -20 °C.
• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and ma­king ice cubes.
• 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 plastic contai­ners are ideal.
• 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 pro-
EN
19
Use
Instructions
bable 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.
• 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 shelf 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 Notes:
• 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.

The refrigerator/freezer compartment does not require defrosting, as any ice which forms on the refrigeration plate will melt when the compressor is switched off. The defrosting process is automatic. Defrost water is channelled directly into the vaporisation container on the back of the appliance, which lets it evapora­te by means of the heat generated by the compressor.

Your refrigerator does not operate Check if:
• Your fridge is plugged in and swi-
tched on
• The fuse has blown
• Is the temperature adjustment right?
• The socket is faulty. To check this,
plug another working appliance into the same socket.
Your refrigerator is performing poorly Check if:
• The appliance is overloaded

• There is an adequate distance between the appliance and surroun­ding walls
36
Before calling after-sales service
Your refrigerator is operating noisily
The following noises can be heard du­ring normal operation of the appliance.
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of ap­pliance material).
Clicking noise occurs: When the thermostat switches the compressor on/ off.
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is rst activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing occurs:
Due to the ow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water owing noise occurs: Due to water owing to the evaporation container. This noise is normal during defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs: During nor­mal operation of the system due to the circulation of air. There is a build-up of humidity inside the refrigerator.
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Con­tainers must be dry before being placed in the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator doors are opened frequently.
Humidity of the room will enter the
fridge each time the doors are ope­ned.
Humidity increases faster 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 defrosting (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 appliance is level.
The edges of the appliance 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 system of your refrigerator will destabilise, causing the compressor protective thermal element to open. Your refrigerator will start 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. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odour.

Practical energy saving advice
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• This appliance is designed for dome­stic use and for the stated 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 instructions, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be respon­sible for any repair or failure within the guarantee period.
9 Practical energy saving
advice
1. Install 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 waste 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 taste.
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 different tem­perature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
