THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

Thermostat Setting Warnings for Temperature Settings

• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.

• The thermostat should be set by taking into consideration how often the fresh food and freezer doors are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located.

• When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put a large quantity of food inside.

• A 5 minute delay function is included to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge, when you unplug it and then plug it in again to operate it, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.

• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in Thermostat control The freezer thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained. Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond position 1 it will stop your appliance from working. Freezer & Refrigerator Thermostat Setting; 1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between minimum and medium positions. 3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob in the medium position. 5 : For freezing fresh food. The appliance will work for longer. So after you reach the desired condition, you must return the knob to the previous position. Before Using your Fridge

• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.

• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time.EN - 32 - Climate Class Ambient

10 to 32 °C Accessories (Only some models) Fresh dial If the crisper is totally full, the fresh dial located in front of crisper should be opened. This allows the air in the crisper and humidity rate to be controlled, increasing the life of the food. If you see any condensation on the glass shelf, you must open this dial, which is located behind the shelf. All written and visual descriptions in the accessories may vary according to the appliance model. 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 out of the stated temperature intervals. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the fridge.

• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C - 38°C range. Ice tray

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

• After the water has completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to remove the ice cubes. Bottle holder In order to prevent bottles from slipping or falling over, you can use the bottle holder. This will also help to prevent the noise made by bottles when opening or closing the door.EN - 33 - PART- 3. FOOD PLACEMENT Fridge Compartment

• To reduce humidity and the consequent increase in frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and in time 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.

• Nothing should touch the back wall of the appliance as it will cause frost and packaging to stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.

• Arrange meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you intend to use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment (that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storage conditions.

• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers. NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. Food Maximum Storing time Where to place in the fridge department Vegetables and fruits 1 week Vegetable bin Meat and fish

• When buying frozen food ensure that it has been frozen at a suitable temperatures and that the packaging is intact.

• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be put into the freezer as quickly as possible.

• If a frozen food package shows signs 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 food 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.

• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking and the food you want to freeze more quickly. Fast freezing shelves are the middle drawers of the freezer compartment (see page 18). 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.EN - 35 - Note: Frozen meat should be cooked as fresh meat after being thawed.

• Defrosting occurs fully automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation; the defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.

• The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out. Freezer Compartment

• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be re- moved periodically.

• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper provided.

• When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be carried out.

• Before defrosting, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping it in sheets of newspaper (this will help the food to maintain it’s tempertaure for longer).

• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer compartment.

• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.

• Once the unit has been defrosted, place the food into freezer and remember to consume it in a short period of time.EN - 40 - Replacing the Refrigerator Light Bulb

SCRAPPING OLD APPLIANCES

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on W aste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules: - WEEE should not be treated as household waste; - WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present. In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.DE - 45 - Inhaltsverzeichnis
