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. This is normal and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

PART - 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

Information about New Generation Cooling Technology

Fridges with new generation cooling technology have a different working system than static fridges. Other fridges may experience ice build up in the freezer compartment due to door openings and humidity in the food. In such fridges regular defrosting is required; the fridge has to be periodically turned off, 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, dry cold air is pumped evenly into the fridge and freezer compartments using a fan. 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 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.

As there is no air passage between the freezer and refrigerator compartments there will be no odor mixing.

As a result of this, your fridge with new generation cooling technology gives you ease of use as well as huge volume and aesthetic appearance.

Keeping food in the zero box compartment instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartment allows food to retain freshness and flavour longer, while preserving its fresh appearance. When the zero box tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash it with water.

(Water freezes at 0^ C, but foods containing salt or sugar freeze at temperatures lower than that)

Normally the zero box compartment is used to store raw

fish, lightly pickled food, rice, etc...

Do not put foods you want to freeze or ice trays onto the zero box.

Removing the zero box

• Pull the zero box towards you by sliding it on the rails.
• Pull the zero box up from the rail and remove it from the fridge.

PART - 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator compartment

• For normal operating conditions, adjusting the temperature value of the cooler partition of the fridge to 4^ C will be enough.
  • To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator 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 on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will 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 storing conditions.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

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

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

Bottled products milk and yoghurt	Until the expiry date recommended by the producer	In special door shelf
Eggs 1 month In the egg	shelf
Cooked food All shelves

Freezer compartment

- Use the freezer to store frozen foods for long periods of time and make ice cubes.

- To freeze fresh food - ensure that as much of the surface of food to be frozen is in contact with the cooling surface.

- For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, Set the refrigerator at 4 °C for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.

- After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 2^ for 24 hours is generally sufficient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.

- Do not put fresh food on either side of frozen food as it can thaw it.

- While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat),divide into portion sizes.

- Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to consume them in a short period of time.

- Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.

- 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 stored in the freezer as soon as possible.

- If a package of frozen food shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling 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.

That; If you decide to open the freezer door again immediately after closing, it may be difficult to re-open. This is normal and after the freezer has reached an equilibrium condition the door will open 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 re-frozen.
• 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, only add a small amount of spice if planning to freeze, 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.

In some models; while loading the freezing compartment, the loading lines should not be passed. Otherwise, the door might remain open. In case that the freezing compartment door is left open, snow formation might occur in the freezing compartment. The problem shall not repeat itself after the snowed part is cleaned and it is made certain that its door is fully closed.

Also, not closing the freezing and/or cooling compartment door would increase your energy consumption.

If the lower shelf in the freezer door is removed and food is allowed to block the air suction hole, this will reduce the effectiveness of the fridge.

Therefore, be careful while loading the freezer compartment and make sure not to cover the air suction hole.

E11	Fridge compartment is too cold	Various	1. Check is Super Cool mode is activated2. Reduce the fridge compartment temperature3. Check to see if vents are clear and not cloggedIf this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted.

If your fridge is not operating;

• Is there a power failure?
- Is the plug connected to the socket correctly?
- Is the fuse of the socket to which the plug is connected or the main fuse blown?
- Is there any failure at the socket? To check this, plug your refrigerator to a socket this is surely operating.

If your fridge is not cooling enough;

• Is the temperature adjustment right?
- Is the door of your fridge opened frequently and left open for a long while?
• Is the door of fridge closed properly?
- Did you put a dish or food on your fridge so that it contacts the rear wall of your fridge so as to prevent the air circulation?
• Is your fridge filled excessively?
- Is there adequate distance between your fridge and the rear and side walls?
- Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specified in the operating manual?

If the food in your refrigerator compartment is over cooled

• Is the temperature adjustment right?
- 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 when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

If the doors are not opened and closed properly;

• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
  • Is your fridge on a level surface?

If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;

Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Compressor protection function will be activated after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet. Your fridge will start after 5 minutes, there is nothing to worry about.

• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to Part 4 and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.

• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult to the nearest authorized service.

• The appliance you bought is designed for home type use and can be used only at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer use the appliance in a way that does not comply with these features, we emphasize that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.

Tips for saving energy

1- Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near heat sources (radiator, cooker.. etc.). If you install it near heat sources, use an insulating plate.
2- Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before putting them in the refrigerator or freezer compartment.
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 while it is thawing, reducing the energy required.
4- When placing liquids in the appliance, make sure they are covered. Otherwise humidity increases inside the appliance and the time taken to cool them is longer. Also covering drinks and liquids helps preserve the smell and taste.
5- When placing food and drinks in the appliance, open and close the appliance door as quickly as possible to keep the temperature inside the appliance stable.
6- Keep the covers closed of any compartments with different temperature requirements in the appliance (crisper, chiller ...etc.).
7- Make sure the door gasket is clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if they are worn or damaged.
