3 USING THE APPLIANCE

3.1 Information about New Generation

Cooling Technology Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a di󰀨erent 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 o󰀨, 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.

4.1 Refrigerator Compartment

For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the cooler compartment to +4 or +6

• 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 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.

• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.

• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being a󰀨ected 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.

• 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 ow 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 su󰀩cient 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, 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 e󰀩cient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

4.2 Freezer Compartment

For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the freezer compartment to -18 or -20

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.

• 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.

• 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. NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will nd 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 afterEN - 89 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 e󰀩cient way to store the major food groups in your freezer compartment.

Warning codes are displayed in the freezer and cooler indicators. ERROR TYPE MEANING WHY WHAT TO DO E01 Sensor warning Call Service for assistance as soon as possible. E02 E03 E06 E07 E08 Low Voltage Warning Power supply to the device has dropped to below 170 V. - This is not a device failure, this error helps to prevent damages to the compressor. - The voltage needs to be increased back to required levels If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted. E09 Freezer compartment is not cold enough Likely to occur after long term power failure.

1. Set the freezer temperature

to a colder value or set Super Freeze. This should remove the error code once the required temperature has been reached. Keep doors closed to improve time taken to reach the correct temperature.

2. Remove any products which

have thawed/defrosted during this error. They can be used within a short period of time.

3. Do not add any fresh produce

to the freezer compartment until the correct temperature has been reached and the error is no longer. If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted.EN - 93 ERROR TYPE MEANING WHY WHAT TO DO E10 Fridge compartment is not cold enough Likely to occur after: - Long term power failure. - Hot food has been left in the fridge.

1. Set the fridge temperature to

a colder value or set Super Cool. This should remove the error code once the required temperature has been reached. Keep doors closed to improve time taken to reach the correct temperature.

2. Please empty the location

at the front area of air duct channel holes and avoid putting food close to the sensor. If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted. E11 Fridge compartment is too cold Various

1. Check is Super Cool mode is

2. Reduce the fridge

compartment temperature

3. Check to see if vents are clear

and not clogged If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted. If you are experiencing a problem with your refrigerator, please check the following before contacting the after-sales service. Your refrigerator does not operate Check if:

• Your fridge is plugged in and switched on

• Is the temperature adjustment right?

• The socket is faulty. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket. Your refrigerator is performing poorly Check if:

• The appliance is overloaded

• The doors are closed properly

• There is any dust on the condenser

• There is an adequate distance between the appliance and surrounding walls Your refrigerator is operating noisily The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance. Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:

• During automatic defrosting.

• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material). Clicking 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 splashing 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. Air blowing noise occurs: During normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air. There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge Check if:

• All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the fridge.

• The fridge doors are opened frequently. Humidity of the room will enter the fridge each time the doors are opened.EN - 94 Humidity increases faster if the doors are opened frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

• There is a build-up of water droplets on the rear wall. This is normal after automatic defrosting (in Static Models). The doors are not opening or closing properly Check if:

• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing

• The door compartments, shelves and drawers are placed properly

• The door gaskets are broken or torn

• Your fridge is level. The edges of the fridge in contact with the door joint are warm Especially during summer (warm weather), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may become warmer during operation of the compressor. This is normal. Important Notes:

• In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged in again, the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator will destabilise, causing the compressor protective thermal element to open. Your refrigerator will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.

• If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (such as during holidays), disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odour.

• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

• This appliance is designed for domestic use and for the stated purposes only. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with these instructions, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair or 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. 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 di󰀨erent

temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller) closed.

7. The door gasket must be clean and

pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket.EN - 95 9 TECHNICAL DATA The technical information is situated in the rating plate on the internal side of the appliance and on the energy label.
