5.1 What To Do For Energy Saving

• When loading the food, leave enough space inside the refrigerator to allow suf- ficient air circulation for cooling.

• Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate into your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food. Under these circum- stances, functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, light- ing, display and so on will operate ac- cording to the needs by consuming min- imum energy.

• In case that multiple options are present, glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the rear wall are not blocked and preferably, in a way that air outlets remain below the glass shelf. This com- bination may help improving air distribu- tion and energy efficiency.

• Store food in the cooler or chill compart- ment according to proper storage condi- tions to save energy.

Before using your product make sure the necessary preparations are made in line with the instructions in "Safety Instructions" and "Installation" sections.

• Wait for at least 2 hours before operating the product, to ensure the complete effi- ciency of refrigeration.

• Keep the product running without placing any food inside for 6 hours and the product door should be kept as closed as possible.

• The temperature change caused by open- ing and closing of the door while using the product may normally lead to con- densation on door/body shelves and glassware placed in the product.

• A sound will be heard when the com- pressor is engaged. It is normal for the product to make noise even if the com- pressor is not running, as fluid and gas may be compressed in the cooling sys- tem.

• It is normal for the front edges of the product to be warm. These areas are de- signed to warm up in order to prevent condensation

• For some models, indicator panel turns off automatically 1 minute after the door closes. It will be reactivated when the door is opened or any button is pressed.

7.1 Control Panel of the Product

The operating temperature is set by the temperature control. 0=System cooling off 1=Lowest cooling setting (Warmest set- ting) 5=Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting) The average temperature inside the cooler compartment should be around +4°C. Please select a setting based on the de- sired temperature. Please note that there will be different tem- peratures in the cooling area. The coldest zone is just above the crisper. The interior temperature also depends on the ambient temperature, how often the door is opened, and the amount of food stored in the refrigerator. Frequent opening of the door causes the in- ternal temperature to rise. It is therefore recommended that you close the door as soon as possible after opening it for any reason. The internal temperature of your refriger- ator can change due to the following reas- ons:

• Seasonal temperatures;

• Opening the door frequently and leaving it open for a long time;

• Placing foods in the refrigerator without waiting for them to reach room temperat- ure;

• The location of the refrigerator in the room (e.g. exposure to sunlight). You can adjust the varying internal temper- ature due to such reasons using the ther- mostat.

The MIN set is defined as the Winter Set- ting for use at ambient temperatures lower than 12°C. Do not use MIN set above 12°C ambient.

• the combination of drawers, baskets and shelves that result in the most efficient use of energy for the refrigerating appli- ance;

• clear guidance about where and how to store foodstuffs in a refrigeratingappli- ance for best preservation over the longest period, to avoid food waste;

• a description of the effects of special modes and features, and in particular how temperatures are affected in each compartment and for how long;

A) Cooler Compartment Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is done automatically. During defrosting, water drops may form at the rear of the re- frigerator compartment where the hidden evaporator is located. Some drops may re- main on the liner and refreeze when de- frosting is complete. Do not allow objects in the refrigerator to come into contact with the back wall as the water drops will cause

SVEN / 18 them to get wet. Do not use pointed or sharp objects such as knives, forks, etc. to remove frozen drops. When defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to make sure that food particles do not block the drain pipe. The drain pipe can be cleaned by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain pipe. If the ice layer reaches 1/4" (7 mm) thick, lower the setting to restart automatic defrosting. B) Freezer compartment Defrosting is very simple and hassle-free thanks to a special defrost collection con- tainer. Defrost twice a year or when a layer of ice around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the defrosting procedure, disconnect the appliance from the power outlet and pull out the mains plug. All food should be wrapped in several lay- ers of newspaper and stored in a cold place (e.g. refrigerator or pantry). To speed up the defrosting process, con- tainers of hot water can be carefully placed inside the freezer. Do not use pointed or sharp objects such

knives or forks to remove ice. Never use a hair dryer, electric heater or similar electrical appliances for defrosting. Sponge off any defrost water that has ac- cumulated under the freezer compartment. After defrosting, dry the interior completely.

7.3 Storing Food in Your Product

• You can activate Quick Freezing function 4-6 hours before freezing function and perform a faster cooling.

• Bring hot meals to the room temperature before placing them in the freezer com- partment.

• Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to a size to be con- sumed, and frozen in separate packages.

• It is recommended to pack the foods be- fore placing them in the freezer.

• In order to prevent expiration of storage time, write the freezing date, time and name of the product on the package ac- cording to the storage times of different foods.

• Consume the foods you have defrosted quickly. Defrosted foods cannot be frozen again unless they are cooked. It is not safe to consume the refrozen fresh foods without cooking after they are de- frosted.

• As you freeze fresh foods, do not bring them in contact with already frozen foods. Otherwise, frozen foods will be de- frosted. Storing The Foods, Which Are Sold Frozen

• When storing food, follow the time peri- ods specified in these instructions.

• In order to protect the quality of the food, keep the time interval between purchas- ing transaction and storing as short as possible.

• Buy frozen food which are stored at –18 °C or lower temperatures.

• Avoid buying foods whose packages are covered with ice etc. This means that the product could be partially defrosted and refrozen. Temperature impacts the qual- ity of the food.

• Store food for manufacturer's recom- mended time. Remove only the food as much as you need from the freezer.

• Except the cases where extreme circum- stances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set values, the food keep their freshness for a longer time both in the fresh product compartment and freezer compartment.

• If fresh food compartment is set to a lower temperature, fresh fruits and veget- ables may be partially frozen.

• The two-star compartments are suitable for pre-frozen food. Ice cream and ice cubes can be stored.

• Freeze food only in 4-star compartment.

" “The amount of fresh food that can be frozen for a certain period of time is spe- cified on the type label.

• Compartment temperatures rise promin- ently if compartment door is opened and closed frequently and kept open for a long time, this can reduce the life span of the food and cause the food to spoil.

• In order not to cause odour and taste changes, the food should be stored in the closed containers.

• To achieve a better and homogeneous cooling, place the food separately in a way that cold air can wander through them.

• Provide air flow by leaving a space between the food and internal wall. If you lean the food against the rear wall, the food may freeze.

• Bring cooked hot meals to the room tem- perature before placing them in the refri- gerator. Then, you can place the tepid meal in the lower shelves of your refriger- ator. Place warm foods away from per- ishable foods.

• Defrost your frozen food in the fresh food compartment. Thereby, you can cool fresh food compartment by using frozen food and save energy.

• Storing unripe tropical fruits (mango, melon varieties, papaya, banana, pine- apple) in the refrigerator may speed up the ripening process. This is not recom- mended because it will cause shorter storage time.

• You should store onions, garlics, gingers and other root vegetables in dark and cold room conditions, not in the refriger- ator.

• If you notice that a food has spoiled in the refrigerator, throw away that food and clean the accessories which have come into contact with it.

• In order to cool the meals like soups and stews, which are cooked in the large pots, quickly, you can put them in the re- frigerator by separating them into their own shallow containers.

• Do not place unpackaged food close to eggs.

• Keep the fruits and vegetables separately and store each variety together (for ex- ample; apples with apples, carrots with carrots).

• Take green vegetables out of the plastic bag and place them in the refrigerator after wrapping them in a paper towel or drying cloth. If you wash this type of food before placing them in the refrigerator, re- member to dry them.

• You can both create a damp environment and provide an air flow by keeping fruits and vegetables, which are prone to dry- ing, in the perforated or unsealed plastic bags.

• Except the cases where extreme circum- stances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set values, the food keep their freshness for a longer time both in the chill compart- ment and freezer compartment. Placing the food Cooler compartment shelves:Food items inside pots, capped plate and capped cases, eggs (in closed case) Cooler compartment door shelves:Small and packaged food or beverages Crisper:Vegetables and fruits. Freezer Details As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4,5 kg of food items at -18°C or lower temperatures at 25°C room temperature in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume. Food products can only be preserved for extended periods at or below temperature of -18 °C. You can keep the foods fresh for months (in freezer at or below temperatures of -18 °C). The food products to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting. Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer. Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and similar food items should not be frozen. In case these foods are frozen, only nutri- tional values and eating qualities will be negatively affected. A rotting that would threaten human health is not in question. Freezer compartment shelves:Different frozen foods like meat, fish, ice cream, ve- getables etc. Fresh food compartment:Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products to be con- sumed in short time)EN / 23 8 Maintenance and Cleaning Read the “Safety Instructions” first!

• Do not use chlorinated water or cleaning products on the exterior surface and chrome coated parts of the product. Chlorine will cause rust on such metallic surfaces.

• Do not use sharp and abrasive tools, soap, house cleaning materials, deter- gents, gas, gasoline, varnish and similar substances to prevent deformation of and removal of prints on the plastic part. Use warm water and a soft cloth for cleaning, and then dry it.

• On the products without a No-Frost fea- ture, water droplets and icing up to a thickness of a finger may occur on the rear wall of the cooler compartment. Do not clean, and never apply oils or similar materials.

• Use only a mildly dampened micro-fibre cloth to clean the external surface of the product. Sponges and other types of cleaning clothes may cause scratches.

• To clean all removable components dur- ing the cleaning of the interior surface of the product, wash these components with a mild solution consisting of soap, water and carbonate. Wash and dry thor- oughly. Prevent contact of water with illu- mination components and the control panel.

• Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol or other alcohol based cleaning agents on any interior surface. Stainless Steel External Surfaces Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaning agent and apply it with a soft lint-free cloth. To polish, gently wipe the surface with a mi- cro-fibre cloth dampened with water and use dry polishing chamois. Always follow the veins of the stainless steel. Preventing Odours The product is manufactured free of any odorous materials. However, inappropri- ately storing food and improper cleaning of internal surfaces may lead to odours.

• To avoid this, clean the inside with car- bonated water every 15 days.

• Keep the foods in sealed holders, as mi- cro-organisms arising from foods kept in unsealed containers will cause bad odour.

• Do not keep expired and spoilt foods in the refrigerator. Protecting Plastic Surfaces Oil spilled on plastic surfaces may damage the surface and must be cleaned immedi- ately with warm water.
