Information about The New Generation Cooling Technology The New Generation Cooling Technology refrigerators are di󰀨erent from the other static refrigerators in terms of their operational system. In normal fridge freezers, the humidity entering the fridge freezer due to opening the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the freezer compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to turn o󰀨 the fridge freezer, place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container and remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment. The situation is completely di󰀨erent in no-frost refrigerators. Dry and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments 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 New Generation Cooling Technology fridge freezer allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

You have not overloaded the appliance ,

• The fridge temperature set to MAX.

The door is closed perfectly ,

• There is no dust on the condenser ,

• There is enough place at the rear and side walls. If your fridge is operating too loudly; 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/o󰀨. 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 ow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system. Water ow noise: Normal ow noise of water owing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting. Air Blow Noise: Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air. 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. If humidity builds up inside the fridge freezer;

• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge? Alarm indicator led is turning on

ERROR TYPE WHY WHAT TO DO

"Failure Warning" There is/are some part(s) Out of order or there is a failure in cooling process Check the door is open or not. If the door is not open, call service for assistance as soon as possible.EN - 37 -

• Are the fridge freezeer's doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the door is opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the door 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 joints broken or torn?

• Is your fridge freezer on a level surface? Recommendations

• To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when the door is left open) 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. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature

of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Keep the covers of the di󰀨erent temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc ) closed

7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.EN - 38 -
