3 USING THE APPLIANCE
3.2 Display and Control Panel
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 fridge 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 newgeneration cooling technology, provides
you with ease of use as well as a huge
volume and aesthetic appearance.

freshness and avour for longer, while
preserving its fresh appearance. When the
Chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and
wash with water.
(Water freezes at 0°C, but food containing
salt or sugar freezes at temperatures lower
than this).
The Chiller compartment is usually used
for storing foods such as raw sh, lightly
pickled food, rice, and so on.
Do not put food you want to freeze
or ice trays (to make ice) in the
Chiller compartment.
EN - 17
To remove the Chiller Shelf:
• Pull the chiller shelf towards you by
sliding it on the rails.
• Pull the chiller shelf up from the rail and
remove it from the fridge.
After the chiller shelf is removed, there
will be space for up to 20kg of food to
be placed in the fridge.
3.6.3 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.
3.6.4 Adjustable Door Shelf

4 FOOD STORAGE
4.1 Refrigerator Compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the
temperature of the cooler compartment to
+4 or +6 oC.
• 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 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,
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.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic
should not be stored in the refrigerator.
• For normal working conditions, it will
be sufcient 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, sh, 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Potatoes, onions and garlic should not
be stored in the refrigerator.
Cooked dishes must remain covered
when they are kept in the fridge. Place
them in the fridge when they are cool,
otherwise the temperature/humidity inside
the fridge will increases, reducing the
fridge’s efciency. Covering food and drink
also preserves their avour and aroma.
EN - 19
Do not allow food to come into contact
with the temperature sensor, which is
located in the refrigerator compartment, in
order to keep the refrigerator compartment
at optimum temperature.

4.2 Freezer Compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the
temperature of the freezer compartment to
-18 or -20 oC.
• 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 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.
EN - 20
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much
of the surface of the food as possible is in
contact with the cooling surface.
In some models: While loading the freezer
compartment, do not ll
above the guidelines
otherwise the door will not
close properly. If the
freezer compartment door
does not close properly,
excess ice will form in the
freezer compartment. To
prevent the problem recurring, clear the ice
and make sure the door is fully closed.
Also, not closing the freezer and/or fridge
compartment doors will increase your
energy consumption.
If the lower shelf of the freezer door is
removed and food obstructs the air suction
hole, the efciency of your fridge will
reduce.
Therefore, take care while loading the
freezer compartment and make sure not to
cover the air suction hole.
Important note:
• 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.
Air suction hole
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.

Various
If you are experiencing a problem with your
refrigerator, please check the following
before contacting the after-sales service.
Your refrigerator does not operate
Check if:
• Your fridge is plugged in and switched 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
• The doors are closed properly
• There is any dust on the condenser
• There is an adequate distance between
the appliance and surrounding walls
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).
EN - 26
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 fridge
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers
must be dry before being placed in the
fridge.
• The fridge 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 fridge is level.
The edges of the fridge 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.
• 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.
8 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
1. Install the appliance in a cool, wellventilated 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. In case of wear, replace the
gasket.
