3 USING THE APPLIANCE
3.1 Information on the Frost Free
Technology
The Frost Free refrigerators have a
di󰀨erent 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 o󰀨 the fridge,
place the frozen food in a separate cooled container, then remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment.
The situation is completely di󰀨erent in No-frost 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.

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
EN - 17
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid
and, in time, your appliance will require
more frequent defrosting.
Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are kept in the fridge.Do not place warm foods in fridge.Place them when they are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge will increases, reducing the fridge’s e󰀩ciency.
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.
Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being a󰀨ected by ethylene-
releaser 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.
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.
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.
• For normal working conditions, it will be su󰀩cient 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.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most e󰀩cient way to store the
major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

4.2 Freezer Compartment
The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.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
• 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.
If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost
will form and can prevent e󰀩cient air
circulation. To resolve this, unplug the
freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean
the freezer once it has fully defrosted.
The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and
so on.
• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may
pose a danger to your health and cause problems such as food poisoning.
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.
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.
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.

If you are experiencing a problem with
your appliance, please check the following before contacting the after-sales service.
Your appliance is not operating Check if:
• There is power
The plug is correctly placed in the socket
The plug fuse or the mains fuse has blown
The socket is defective. To check this, plug another working appliance into the
same socket.
The appliance performs poorly Check if:
The appliance is overloaded
The appliance door is closed properly
There is any dust on the condenser
There is enough space near the rear and side walls.
Your appliance is operating noisily
Normal noises Cracking noise occurs:
During automatic defrosting
When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of
appliance material).
Short cracking noise occurs: When
the thermostat switches the compressor on/o󰀨.
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 splash 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: In some models during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
The edges of the appliance in contact with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm seasons), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may become warmer during the operation of
the compressor, this is normal.
There is a build-up of humidity inside the appliance
EN - 24
Check if:
All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the appliance.
The appliance door is opened frequently. Humidity of the room enters the
appliance when the doors are opened. Humidity increases faster when the doors
are opened more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
The door does not open or close properly
Check if:
There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
The door joints are broken or torn
Your appliance is on a level surface.
The compressor can run loudly or the noise of the compressor/refrigerator may
increase in some models during operating in some conditions such that the product
is plugged in for the rst time, depending
on change in the ambient temperature or
change of usage. That is normal; when
the refrigerator reaches the required temperature, the noise decreases automatically.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched o󰀨 or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before
plugging the appliance in or restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
• If you will not use your appliance for
a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your appliance according to chapter cleaning and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
If a problem persists after you have followed all the above instructions, please
consult the nearest authorised service centre.
The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use only. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a
way that does not comply with this, we
emphasise that the manufacturer and
the dealer will not be responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee
period.
8 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
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 if available. 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 di󰀨erent temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller if available) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, replace the
gasket.
