3 USING THE APPLIANCE

3.1 Information on the Frost Free

Technology The Frost Free refrigerators have a di󰀨erent operating system to static refrigerators. In normal (static) fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to opening the door, and the humidity inherent in the food, causes frost build-up in the freezer compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you are required to periodically switch o󰀨 the fridge, place the frozen food in a separate cooled container, then remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment. The situation is completely di󰀨erent in No-frost fridges. A built-in fan blows dry and cold air evenly throughout the cooler and freezer compartments. The cold air disperses uniformly between the shelves, ensuring all your food is cooled equally, thus preventing humidity and frost build-up. Therefore, your No-frost fridge allows ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.EN - 10

3.2 Thermostat Setting

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the cooler and freezer compartments. Refrigerator temperatures can be obtained by rotating the knob to higher numbers; 1 to 3, 1 to 5 or SF (Maximum numbers on the thermostat depends on your product.) Lamp cover Thermostat knob Super switch / Low ambient Switch (In some models) (The images are representative) Thermostat settings: 1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment. 3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment. 5 – MAX : For freezing fresh food. The appliance will work longer. Once the food is fully frozen, reset the thermostat to its original position.

3.3 Temperature Settings Warnings

• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling e󰀩ciency of the appliance.

• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the appliance and the ambient temperature in the location of your appliance.

• When the appliance is rst switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to reach operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large quantity of food inside.

• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your appliance when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your appliance will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes. Climate class and meaning: T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C. ST (subtropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C. N (temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C. SN (extended temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C.

3.4 Temperature indicator

In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in the coldest area. To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make sure the message “OK” appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does not appear, this means temperature has not been set properly It may be di󰀩cult to see the indicator, make sure it is properly lit.Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilisation of the temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary, with a new temperature setting. Please change the position of the OKEN - 11 temperature setting device progressively and wait at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change. NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal build up of ice crystals of ice crystals (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment, evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until compressor o󰀨 periods are obtained again. Store food in the coldest area of the refrigerator. Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most appropriate cooling area. The coldest area is just above the crisper. The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your refrigerator. To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is located at the level of this symbol, as shown in the illustration. The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by the lower side of the sticker (head of the arrow). The coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level with the arrow head. The coldest area is below this level. As these shelves are removable, make sure they are always at the same level with these zone limits described on the stickers, in order to guarantee temperatures in this area. Important installation instructions This appliance is designed to work in di󰀩cult climate conditions and is powered with ‘Freezer Shield’ technology which ensures that the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So you may then install your appliance in an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may continue using the appliance as usual. The Turbo Fan (if available) Do not block the air inlet and outlet openings when storing food, otherwise air circulation provided by the turbo fan will be impaired.

Visual and text descriptions in the accessories section may vary according to the model of your appliance.

3.5.1 Ice Tray (In some models)

• Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment.

• After the water has completely frozen, you can twist the tray as shown below to remove the ice cubes.

3.5.2 The Bottle Holder (In some models)

Use the bottle holder to prevent bottles from slipping or falling over.EN - 12

3.5.3 The Fresh Dial (In some models)

(The images are representative)

(The images are representative) If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located in front of the crisper should be opened. This allows the air in the crisper and the humidity rate to be controlled, to increase the life of food within. The dial, located behind the shelf, must be opened if any condensation is seen on the glass shelf.

3.5.4 Adjustable Door Shelf (In some

models) Six di󰀨erent height adjustments can be made to provide storage areas that you need by adjustable door shelf. To change the position of adjustable door shelf ; Hold the bottom of the shelf and pull the buttons on the side of the door shelf direction of arrow. (Fig.1) Position door shelf the height you need by moving up and down. After you get the position that you want the door shelf, release the buttons on the side of the door shelf (Fig.2) Before releasing the door shelf, move up down and make sure the door shelf is xed. Note: Before moving door shelf is loaded, you must hold the shelf by supporting the bottom. Otherwise, door shelf could fall o󰀨 the rails due to the weight. So damage may occur on the door shelf or rails. Visual and text descriptions in the accessories section may vary according to the model of your appliance. 4 FOOD STORAGE

4.1 Refrigerator Compartment

• 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.

• Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are kept in the fridge.Do not place warm foods in fridge.Place them when they are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge will Fig. 1 Fig. 2EN - 13 increases, reducing the fridge’s e󰀩ciency.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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. Do not allow food to come into contact with the temperature sensor, which is located in the refrigerator compartment, in order to keep the refrigerator compartment at optimum temperature.

• 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. Food Maximum storage time How and where to store Vegetables and fruits 1 week Vegetable bin Meat and

Wrap in plastic foil, bags, or in a meat container and store on the glass shelf Fresh cheese

On the designated door shelf Butter and margarine 1 week On the designated door shelf Bottled products e.g. milk and yoghurt Until the expiry date recommended by the producer On the designated door shelf Eggs 1 month On the designated egg shelf Cooked food 2 days All shelves NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

4.2 Freezer Compartment

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.EN - 14

• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.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

• 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.

• If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost will form and can prevent e󰀩cient air circulation. To resolve this, unplug the freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean the freezer once it has fully defrosted.

• The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and so on.

• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose a danger to your health and cause problems such as food poisoning. 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.

• 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.

• 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.EN - 15 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.

7 BEFORE CALLING AFTER-

SALES SERVICE If you are experiencing a problem with your appliance, please check the following before contacting the after-sales service. Your appliance is not operating Check if:

• The plug is correctly placed in the socket

• The plug fuse or the mains fuse has blown

• The socket is defective. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket. The appliance performs poorly Check if:

• The appliance is overloaded

• The appliance door is closed properly

• There is any dust on the condenser

• There is enough space near the rear and side walls. Your appliance is operating noisily Normal noises Cracking noise occurs:

• During automatic defrosting

• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material). Short cracking 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 splash 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: In some models during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.EN - 18 The edges of the appliance in contact with the door joint are warm Especially during summer (warm seasons), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may become warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal. There is a build-up of humidity inside the appliance Check if:

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

• The appliance door is opened frequently. Humidity of the room enters the appliance when the doors are opened. Humidity increases faster when the doors are opened more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high. The door does not open or close properly Check if:

• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing

• The door joints are broken or torn

• Your appliance is on a level surface.

• The compressor can run loudly or the noise of the compressor/refrigerator may increase in some models during operating in some conditions such that the product is plugged in for the rst time, depending on change in the ambient temperature or change of usage. That is normal; when the refrigerator reaches the required temperature, the noise decreases automatically. Recommendations

• If the appliance is switched o󰀨 or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the appliance in or restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.

• If you will not use your appliance for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your appliance according to chapter cleaning and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.

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 if available. 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 if available) closed.

7. The door gasket must be clean and

pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket.EN - 19 9 TECHNICAL DATA The technical information is situated in the rating plate on the internal side of the appliance and on the energy label.
