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
4.1 Refrigerator Compartment
• 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.
• 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 eciency.
• 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 aected 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 sucient to adjust the temperature
setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge
compartment should be in the range
EN - 13
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 ecient 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.
EN - 14
• If the freezer door has been left open for
a long time or not closed properly, frost
will form and can prevent ecient 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
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
upper shelf of the freezer compartment.

the evaporation tray and evaporates
automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain
hole should be cleaned periodically with
the defrost drain plug to prevent the
water from collecting at the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of owing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by
pouring half a glass of water down it.
Freezer defrosting process
• Small amounts of frost will accumulate
inside the freezer, depending on the
length of time the door may be left open
or the amount of moisture introduced.
It is essential to ensure that no frost or
ice is allowed to form in places where
it will aect the close tting of the door
seal. This might allow air to penetrate the
cabinet, encouraging continuous running
of the compressor. Thin frost formation
is quite soft and can be removed with a
brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal
or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or
other means to accelerate the defrosting
process. Remove all dislodged frost from
the cabinet oor. It is not necessary to
switch o the appliance for the removal
of thin frost.
• For the removal of heavy ice deposits,
disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply, empty the contents into
cardboard boxes and wrap in thick
blankets or layers of paper to keep cool.
Defrosting will be most eective if carried
out when the freezer is nearly empty
and should be carried out as quickly
as possible to prevent an unnecessary
increase in the temperature of the
contents.
• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers,
mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process. An
increase in temperature of frozen food
during defrosting will shorten the storage
life. Keep contents well wrapped and cool
while defrosting is taking place.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a
sponge or a clean cloth.
• To accelerate the defrosting process,
place one or more bowls of warm water
in the freezer compartment.
• Examine the contents when replacing
them in the freezer and if some of the
packages have thawed out, they should
be eaten within 24hours, or be cooked
EN - 17
and re-frozen.
• After defrosting is complete, clean the
inside of the appliance with a solution
of warm water and a little bicarbonate
of soda, then dry thoroughly. Wash all
removable parts in the same way and
reassemble. Reconnect the appliance
to the mains supply and leave for 2 to
3 hours on setting number MAX before
introducing the food back into the freezer.

7 BEFORE CALLING AFTER-
SALES SERVICE
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.
EN - 18
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
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 dierent
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
EN - 19
gasket.
