CHAPTER 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

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 new-generation cooling technology, provides you with ease of use as well as a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.

The Chiller Shelf (In some models)

Keeping food in the Chiller compartment, instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartments, allows food to retain freshness and flavour 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 fish, 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.

Chiller shelf

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 has been removed, it can support a maximum 20 kg load.

The Fresh Dial (In some models)

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.

CHAPTER 4. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

For normal operating conditions, set the temperature +4 or +6 oC.

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.
• 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 fish 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 ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig 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 flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.

NOTE:

Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

Food Maximum storage time How and where to store
Vegetables and fruits	1 week Vegetable bin
Meat and fish	2 - 3 Days	Wrap in plastic foil, bags, or in a meat container and store on the glass shelf
Fresh cheese	3 - 4 Days On the designated door shelf
Butter and margarine	1 week On the designated door shelf
Bottled products e.g. milk and yoghurt	Until the expiry date recommended by the producer	On the designated door shelf
Eggs	1 month On the designated egg shelf
Cooked food		All shelves

Freezer compartment

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, set the refrigerator at 4 oC for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 2 oC for 24 hours is generally sufficient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.

NOTE:

If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.

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.

The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer compartment.

The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning.

DEFROSTING

Your refrigerator performs automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporisation container behind your refrigerator and evaporates there.

• Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your refrigerator before cleaning the vaporisation container.
• Remove the vaporisation container from its position by removing the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy water at specific time intervals. This will prevent odours from forming.

• If the door-opening direction of your appliance can be changed, contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre to change the opening direction.

CHAPTER 7. BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

Check Warnings;

Your fridge warns you if the temperatures for cooler and freezer are in improper levels or when a problem occurs in the appliance. Warning codes are displayed in the Freezer and Cooler Indicators.

ERROR TYPE	ERROR TYPE WHY WHAT TO DO
SR	„Failure Warning”	There is/are some part(s) Out of order or there is a failure in cooling process	Call Service for assistance as soon as possible.
LF	Freezer comp. Not Cold enough	This caution will be seen especially after long term of power failure	1.Do not freeze the foods that are thaw and use in short time period.2.Set the freezer temperature to colder values or set the super freeze, until the compartment gets to normal temperature.3.Do not put fresh food until this failure is off.
LC	„Refrigerator comp. Not Cold enough”	Ideal temperature for Ref. Compartment is +4 oC. If you see this warning your foods have risk of spoiling.	1.Set the refrigerator temperature to colder values or set the super cooling mode until the compartment gets to normal temperature.2.Do not open the door much until this failure is off.
LF AND LC	„not cold enough Warning”	It is the combination of LF and LC Error type	You will see this failure when first starting the appliance. It will be off after the compartments gets normal temperature
HC	Refrigerator comp. too Cold	The foods starts to freeze because of the too much cold temperature	1.Check if the “Super cooling mode” is on2.Decrease the refrigerator temperature values
LOPO	„Low voltage Warning”	When the power supply gets lower than 170 V the appliance gets to steady position.	This not a failure. This prevents any damages on the compressor. This warning will off after the voltage gets required level

If your fridge is not operating;

• Is there a power failure?
- Is the plug connected to the socket correctly?
- Is the fuse of the socket to which the plug is connected or the main fuse blown?
- Is there any failure at the socket? To check this, plug your refrigerator to a socket this is surely operating.

If your fridge is not cooling enough;

• Is the temperature adjustment right?
- Is the door of your fridge opened frequently and left open for a long while?
• Is the door of fridge closed properly?
- Did you put a dish or food on your fridge so that it contacts the rear wall of your fridge so as to prevent the air circulation?
• Is your fridge filled excessively?
- Is there adequate distance between your fridge and the rear and side walls?
- Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specified in the operating manual?

If the food in your refrigerator compartment is over cooled

• Is the temperature adjustment right?
- Are there many food recently put inside the freezer compartment? If so, your fridge may over cool the food inside the refrigerator compartment as it will operate longer to cool these food.

If your fridge is operating too loudly;

To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises from your fridge at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically. If the noises persist;

• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
  • Is there anything behind your fridge?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes if this is the case.
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?

Normal Noises;

Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:

• During automatic defrosting.
- When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.

Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor operates normally. Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.

Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.

Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.

Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

If humidity builds up inside the fridge;

• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

If the doors are not opened and closed properly;

• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
  • Is your fridge on a level surface?

If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;

Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Compressor protection function will be activated after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet. Your fridge will start after 5 minutes, there is nothing to worry about.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to Part 4 and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult to the nearest authorized service.
• The appliance you bought is designed for home type use and can be used only at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer use the appliance in a way that does not comply with these features, we emphasize that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.
• The lifetime of your appliance stated and declared by the Department of the Industry is 10 years (the period for retaining parts required for the proper functioning of the appliance).

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. 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, if your gasket is detachable, replace the gasket. If not detachable, you have to replace the door.
