Dual cooling system

Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher than other refrigerators. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

Defrost

A) Fridge compartment

Fridge compartment performs full-automatic defrosting.

The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance. Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water spilling on the electric installation or on the floor.

B) Freezer compartment

The NO FROST type defrost is completely automatic. No intervention from your side is required. The water is collected on the compressor tray. Due to the heat of the compressor, the water is evaporated.

Warnings!

The fans inside the freezer and fresh food compartments circulate cold air. Never insert any object through the guard.

Do not allow children to play with the fresh food and freezer fan.

Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.

Don't cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls. Do not obstruct the fan guards to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance.

Please ensure the fans are not blocked or impaired by food or packaging. Blocking or impairing the fan can result in an increase of the internal freezer temperature (thawing).

HarvestFresh

Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the HarvestFresh technology preserve their vitamin content (vitamin A and C) for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle.

If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the HarvestFresh technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue, green or red light to illuminate the crisper for your convenience. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle.

Guidance for storing fresh food. Storing into the fresh food compartment.

• Keep your fridge at recommended temperature level as 3°C.
• Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations.
• Do not store excessive quantities of food inside your refrigerator. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold air flowing around them to achieve a better and more homogeneous cooling.
• To allow shorter door openings, foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.
• Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air to flow. If you store foods against the rear wall, foods could freeze against the rear wall.
• Hot, cooked food must be cooled down at room temperature before storing in the appliance. Then, warm food can be stored in the lower shelves of your fridge. Please do not put warm food near highly perishable foods.
• Thaw your frozen food in the fresh food compartment. This way, you can use the frozen food to cool down the fresh food compartment and save energy.
• If unripe tropical fruits (mango, melons, papaya, banana, pineapple) are stored in the refrigerator, the ageing process can be accelerated, and it is not advisable since it causes shorter storage times. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits (apple, pear) can be promoted for a certain period in the fridge compartment.
• Onions, garlic, ginger, and other root vegetables should be stored in dark, cool room conditions, not in the fridge.
• When a spoiled food inside the refrigerator is realized, it should be disposed. When rotten food is noticed, please clean the inner liner or accessories that were in contact to prevent contamination.
• Large pots of food, such as soups or stews, can be divided into shallow containers to quickly cool in the refrigerator. Large pieces of cooked meat and whole poultry should be divided into smaller pieces for the same purpose.
• Do not store unpacked foods near eggs.
• Keep fruits and vegetables separate and store like with like: apples with apples, carrots with carrots. Fruits and vegetables give off different gases that can cause others to deteriorate.
• Take leafy greens out of plastic bags, wrap them in a paper towel or tea towel before storing in the refrigerator. Do not forget to dry them if they are rinsed or wet before storing.
• Store fruits and vegetables susceptible to drying out in perforated or unsealed plastic bags to maintain a moist environment yet still allow air to circulate.
• Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties:

Food Location
Eggs Door rack
Dairy products (butter, cheese)	If available, biofresh or chiller compartmentLowest shelves
Fruits, vegetables and salad	Fruit and vegetable box, crisper or EverFresh+compartment (if available)
Fresh meat, poultry, fresh fish, sausages, cooked foods	If available, biofresh or chiller compartmentLowest shelf
Ready to eat foods, packaged products, canned foods, pickled products	Upper shelves or door rack
Drinks, bottles, condiments, snacks	Door rack
Leftovers Middle shelves

Storing into the freezer compartment

- It is recommended to keep freezer setting at -19°C except in extreme ambient conditions.

- 8 hours before freezing, switch on the Fast Freeze function to provide faster freezing.

- Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment.

- Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook.

- It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer.

- In order to avoid expiry of storage periods, please note the freezing date, time limit, and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of different foods.

- Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the food manufacturers. Only take the required amount of food out of the freezer.

- Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen unless it is cooked. It is not safe to consume uncooked re-frozen fresh food.

- When freezing fresh food, avoid bringing it in contact with already frozen food. It may cause thawing of already frozen pieces.

When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:

- Always follow manufacturers' guidelines for the length of time you should store the food for. Do not exceed these guidelines!

- Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.

- Buy frozen foods that have been stored at a temperature of -18°C or below.

- Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the packaging - This indicates that the products might have been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point - temperature rises affect the quality of food.

- We recommend a temperature setting of 3°C for the fresh food compartment and -19°C for the freezer compartment to achieve better food preservation.

- With the exception of extreme ambient conditions, if the temperature is set to the recommended values of +3°C / -19°C, overall freshness will be prolonged within the fresh food and freezer compartments. If the temperature of the fresh food compartment is set cooler, fresh fruits and vegetables may be partially frozen or exposed to cold injury, while a warmer temperature level may cause faster spoilage of highly perishable foods (dairy products, meat products).

6 Maintenance and cleaning

⚠️ Never use gasoline, benzene, or similar substances for cleaning purposes. ⚠️ We recommend that you unplug the appliance before cleaning. ⚠️ Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent, or wax polish for cleaning. Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry. Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry. ⚠️ Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items. ⚠️ If your refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it, and leave the door ajar. Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles. ⚠️ To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base. ⚠️ Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the outer surfaces and chromium-coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes corrosion on such metal surfaces.

Protection of plastic surfaces
