Before using your fridge

- When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.

- Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE

Thermostat setting

• The thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the fridge. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained.
• The “•” position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling will take place.
• For short-term storage of food in the fridge,

you can set the knob between minimum and medium positions (1-3).

- For long-term storage of food in the fridge, you can set knob to the medium position (3-4).

Note that: The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the fridge. If required, change the temperature setting.

• When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to store a large quantity of food inside it.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting in order not to damage the compressor.

LARDERS (without star rating): Larders (coolers) do not have a freezer compartment but can cool down to 4 - 6°C.

Warnings about temperature adjustments

• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10^ in terms of its efficiency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.
• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not open doors of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period.
• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C - 43°C range.

Climate class and meaning:

T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.

ST (subtropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C.

N (temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C.

SN (extended temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C.

FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE

• 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.

- For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient 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, fish, 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 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	2 days	All shelves

Defrosting

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with an inset showing a magnified view of a hand holding a tool (no text or symbols present)

• Defrosting occurs automatically in the fridge during operation; the water is collected by 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 fridge instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring 12 glass of water down it.

Replacing LED Lighting

If your fridge has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.

PART 5. TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION

Transportation and changing of Installation position

• The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.
• During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.

- Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie,shelves,crisper...) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent them from getting damaged.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your fridge is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following.

The appliance does not operate,

Check if:

• There is a power failure.
- The mains plug is not plugged in properly, or is loose.
- The thermostat setting is on position “•”.
- The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working into the same socket.

The appliance performs poorly,

Check if:

• You have overloaded the appliance.
  • The door is not closed properly.
• There are not enough ventilation ducts in the kitchen unit as mentioned in the installation manual.

If there is noise:

The cooling gas which circulates in the fridge circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is quite normal. If you hear different sounds, check if:

• The appliance is installed firmly as described in the installation manual.
• Objects on the appliance are vibrating.

If there is water in the lower part of the fridge,

Check if:

The drain hole for water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).

Recommendations

• When there is no power, to prevent any damage to the compressor, you should unplug the refrigerator. You should delay plugging in 5 – 10 minutes after power is restored.
• If you unplug the refrigerator for any reason you should wait at least 5 min to replug. This will avoid damage to the refrigerator's components.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden at the rear of the appliance. Therefore, water droplets or icing may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor at specified intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), turn the thermostat to the «•» position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smells.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult to the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

- The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use and can only be used at home and for the stated purposes. 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.

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 (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance. Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
4. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc) closed
6. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
