BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Installing and operating your fridge

Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to
the following points:

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

• Mains cord of your fridge has a grounded plug. This plug

should be used with a grounded receptacle that has a
16 ampere fuse minimum. If you don’t have a receptacle

conrming with this, please have it done by a qualied

electrician.

• We do not take the responsibility of the damages that
occur due to ungrounded usage.

• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed
to direct sunlight.

• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves,
Gas ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm
away from electrical ovens.

• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under
the rain.

• 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.

• 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.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Before Using your Fridge

• When it is operated for the rst time or after transportation,

keep your fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and

plug it on to allow efcient operation. Otherwise, you may

damage the compressor.

• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the
rst time; the smell will fade away when your fridge starts

to cool.

Information on No-Frost technology

No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in
their operating principle.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to door
openings and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing
in the freezer department. To defrost the frost and ice in the
freezer compartment, you are periodically required to turn off
the fridge, place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a
separately cooled container, and remove the ice gathered in
the freezer department.

The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry
and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments
homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower
fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between
the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus
preventing humidity and freezing.

Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, in
addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator compartment

• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place
liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to
concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time 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.

• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the
packages can stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator
door too frequently.

• Arrange the meat and cleaned sh(wrapped in packages or sheets

of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days,in the bottom section of
the refrigerator compartment(that is above the crisper) as this is the
coldest section and will ensure the best storing conditions.

• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

Some recommendations have been specied below for the placement

and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Freezer compartment

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long
periods of time and making ice cubes.

• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible
of food to be frozen is in contact with the cooling surface.

• Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the
frozen food.

• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,sh and mincemeat), divide them

in parts you will use in one time.

• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and
remember to consume them in as short period of time.

• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb
the frozen foods.

• For storing the frozen foods;the instructions shown on frozen food
packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is
provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the
purchased date.

• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at
suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.

• Frozen foods should be transported in appopriate containers to
maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing
surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.

• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal
swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an
unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.

• The strorage life of froozen foods depends on the room temperature,
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 instruductions printed on the package
and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer
door, it will not be opened easily. It’s quite normal! After reaching
equilibrium condition, the door will be opened easily.

Important note:

• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods.
If they are not cooked after being thawed they must NEVER be re­frozen.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• 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. Therefore, the
frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired
spice should be added after the food has been thawed.

• The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable
oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils
are peanut oil and pig fat.

• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other
food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

Some recommendations have been specied on pages 26, 27 and 28 for

the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

1– Install the appliance in a coll, well vantilated room , but not in direct

sunlight and not near heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise
use an insulating plate.

2– Allow ward food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3– When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment.

The low temperature of the frozen food will help to cool the
refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. So it causes energy
saving. If the frozen food is put out, it causes wastage of energy.

4– When placing, drinks and slops they must be covered. Otherwise

humidity increases at the appliance. Therefore the working time gets
longer. Also covering drinks and slops helps to save smell and taste.

5– When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briey as

possible.

6– Keep close the covers of any different temrepature compartment in

the appliance (crisper, chiller ...etc ).

7– Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
