3 USING THE APPLIANCE

3.1 Information on No-Frost technology

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

In normal refrigerators
the humidity entering
the refrigerators due to
opening the door and
the humidity inherent
in the food causes
freezing in the backside
of air duct. To defrost
the frost and ice in the
backside of air duct,
you are periodically
required to turn off
the refrigerator, place
the food that needs
to be kept cooled in a
separately cooled. The
situation is completely
different in no-frost
refrigerators. Dry
and cold air is blown into the refrigerator
compartment 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 no­frost refrigerators allows you ease of use,
in addition to its huge capacity and stylish
appearance.

to the model of your appliance.

3.5.1 The Chiller Shelf

Chiller shelf

Keeping food in the Chiller compartment,
instead of the freezer or refrigerator
compartments, allows food to retain

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.

Turbo fan

EN - 14

3.5.2 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.

4 FOOD STORAGE

• 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.

EN - 15

• 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 suf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.

cooling process.
The product is plugged

for the rst time or

a long-time power
interruption for 1 hour.

Check the door is open or not and check
if the product working 1 hour. If the door
is not open and the product had worked
1 hour, call service for assistance as
soon as possible.

If your fridge is not working properly, it may
be a minor problem, therefore check the
following, before calling an electrician to
save time and money.

Your fridge is not operating
Check if:

the cooler

Check if:

• All food is packed properly. Containers

must be dry before being placed in the
fridge.

• The fridge door is opened frequently.

Humidity of the room enters the fridge
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 is not opening and 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 joints are broken or torn

8 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

9 TECHNICAL DATA

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. 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.

4. 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.

5. Keep the covers of the different
temperature compartments ( such as the
crisper and chiller) closed.

6. The door gasket must be clean and
pliable. In case of wear, replace the
gasket.

The technical information is situated in
the rating plate on the internal side of the
