Installing and operating your fridge

Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:

• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220 - 240V at 50Hz .
• We do not take the responsibility for damage that may occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50~cm away from stoves, Gas ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a suitable place so that at least 15cm is available on the upper side.
• The adjustable front legs should be adjusted to make sure your appliance is level and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should be done before placing food in the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all inside surfaces and drawers with warm water added with a tea spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Put all the parts back into the fridge after cleaning.
• Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at the rear) by turning it 90^ as shown in the figure to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.
• Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance not exceeding 75~mm .

Before Using your Fridge-Freezer

• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your fridge in the upright position for 3 hours before plugging it in. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

Information on No-Frost technology

No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in their operating principle.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to door openings and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the freezer department. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to turn off the fridge, place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer department.

The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. 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 no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator compartment

• To prevent humidification and odour formation, the food should be placed in the refrigerator in enclosed containers or with their top being covered.
• Hot food and drinks should also be cooled in the room temperature before being placed in the refrigerator.
• Please do not prop the packaged food and containers against the lamp and cover of the fridge compartment.
• Fruits and vegetables: Can be placed in the crisper directly without wrapping them.
• Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.

Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.

Food Storing time		Where to place in the fridge department
Vegetables and fruits 1 week		In the Crisper (without being wrapped)
Meat and fish 2 to 3 days		Covered with plastic folio and bags or in a meat box (on the glass shelf)
Fresh cheese 3 to 4 days	In the special door shelf
Butter and Margarine 1 week	In the special door shelf
Bottled product, Milk and Yoghurt	Until the expiry date recommended by the producer	In the special door shelf
Eggs 1 month In the egg shelf
Cooked food All shelves

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

Freezer compartment

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time and making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible of food to be frozen is in contact with the cooling surface.
• Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you will use in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to consume them in as short period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb the frozen foods.
• For storing the frozen foods;the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, 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 package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not be opened easily. It's quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be opened easily.

Important note:

• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after being thawed they must NEVER be refrozen.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• 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. Therefore, the frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

Some recommendations have been specified on pages 70, 71 and 72 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

• 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

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

1- Install the appliance in a coll, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2- Allow ward 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. So it causes energy saving. If the frozen food is put out, it causes wastage of energy.
4- When placing, drinks and slips they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases at the appliance. Therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and slips helps to save smell and taste.
5- When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briefly as possible.
6- Keep close the covers of any different temrepature compartment in the appliance (crisper, chiller ...etc).
7- Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
