BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE

1.7 General information about new NO FROST Technology

New No-Frost fridges differ from other static fridges in their operating principle.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge through the door openings and the humidity of the food causes freezing in the freezer compartment. To defrost the ice in the freezer department, you should turn off the fridge, take the food that needs to be kept in a constant temperature out of the fridge, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment periodically.

The situation in the freezer compartment is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry and cool air is blown through the freezer compartments via fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously between the shelves cools all your food equally and uniformly, thus prevents humidity and freezing. The freezer compartment is cooled by statically. The air is distributed homogeneously between the racks in the cooling section with the fan, and all your foods can be cooled evenly and properly.

As there is no air passage between the sections, the smells on the 2 different parts of your refrigerator do not mix.

Therefore your New No-Frost fridge allows you ease of use, besides its huge volume and stylish appearance.

PART 3. PLACING THE FOOD

3.1 Cooler Compartment

• Under normal operation conditions, it is enough to set the temperature of cooler compartment to +4 / +6^ .
• In order to avoid frosting, humidification and odour, food should be placed in the fridge in closed containers or covered with appropriate material.
• Hot food and beverages should be cooled to room temperature before being placed in the fridge.
  • Vegetables and fruits can be placed into crisper without packaging.

Important Note:

- Cover the liquid and stews when you put them on fridge. Otherwise, the humidity amount inside the fridge increases. This causes the fridge to operate more efficiently. Covering the food and beverages also allow you to protect their taste and flavour. Potatoes, onion and garlic shouldn't be kept in the fridge.

Some suggestions on the placing and storing of your food in the fridge compartment are supplied below.

Food Maximum	Storage time	Where to place in the fridge department
Vegetables and fruits 1	week Vegetable bin
Meat and fish 2 - 3 Days		Wrapped in plastic foil or bags or in a meat container(on the glass shelf)
Fresh cheese 3 - 4 Days	In special door shelf
Butter and margarine 1	week In special door shelf
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

STORING THE FOOD

3.2 Deep-Freeze Compartments

• The freezer compartment is used for storing frozen foods for a long time or for producing ice.
• If you leave the door of freezer open for a long time, frosting will appear on the lower stage of freezer. Thus, air circulation will be obstructed. In order to avoid this, first unplug the cord and wait until thawed. After ice melts, you should clean the freezer.
• You can remove baskets, cover, etc. to increase storing volume of freezer.
  • Volume specified on the product label shows the value without baskets, covers, etc.

IMPORTANT

Never refreeze frozen food after thawing them.

It may be hazardous to your health as it may lead to food poisoning.

• Do not place hot food to the freezer before cooling them. This may cause other frozen food in the freezer to decay.
• When buying frozen food, make sure that it was frozen under appropriate conditions and its package is not torn.
• In case of humidification on package of frozen food and a smelly odour, food may have been stored under inappropriate conditions beforehand and it may have gotten decayed. Do not buy those kinds of food.
• Storing time for frozen food may differ according to the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings, thermostat adjustments, type of food and the time between the buying of the food and placing of the food in the freezer. Always follow instructions on the package and do not exceed storing period.
• Note: If frozen food taken out of freezer or refrigerator is placed into bottom compartment one day before, it promotes refrigerator by preserving its temperature there, so energy will be saved. If you put the material in the deep freeze to an open area, energy loss occurs.

Some spices in cooked food (aniseed, basil, dill, vinegar, spice mix, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, bologna sausage etc.) may have a foul taste when stored for a long time. Therefore, frozen food should be spiced just a little or spice should be added after the food is thawed.

The storing time for the food depends on the oil used. Margarines, veal fat, olive oil and butter are suitable, peanut oil and lard are not suitable.

Cooked food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic containers, other food should be frozen wrapped in plastic foil or in plastic bags.

Some suggestions on the placing and storing of your food in the freezer compartment are supplied pages 20, 21 and 22.

BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

Check Warnings;

If your fridge is not operating;

• Are there any electrical faults?
  • Is your appliance plugged in?
• Is the fuse of the receptacle that the plug is plugged or the main fuse blown?
• Is there any fault in the socket? Examine this by plugging your fridge into a socket outlet which you are sure that is working.

If your fridge is operating too loudly

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.

Valve sound: Ticking sound is normal when your refrigerator runs. This sound is released from a valve behind your refrigerator.

Vacuuming sound: After your refrigerator's doors are opened and closed, a short sound may be heard due to pressure difference. That is normal.

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 blow 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;

• Is 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 joints broken or torn?
  • Is your fridge on a level surface?

BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- After sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, Thermal protector will cut off the power of compressor temporarily because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet. Your fridge will start after 4 or 5 minutes, this is nothing to worry about.

• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. during summer holidays) unplug it. After defrosting, clean your fridge 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 uses 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.

6.1 Recommendations for Energy Saving

1. Place your appliance in a cool and well-ventilated room, avoid placing towards direct sunlight or near heat radiators (radiator, oven, etc.). Otherwise, use insulation plate.
2. Allow hot food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. Place frozen food in refrigerator for thawing. When frozen food is thawed, its lower temperature will help refrigerator cool down. Thus, energy will be saved. Putting frozen food outside will cause waste of energy.
4. When putting drinks and homemade food into refrigerator, make sure that they are in an enclosed bowl. Otherwise, humidity in the appliance will rise. This will make operation time longer. Preserving drinks and homemade food in enclosed bowls will also avoid deterioration of odours and tastes.
5. When putting drinks and food in the refrigerator, leave door of appliance open for some time as short as possible.
6. Keep compartments with different temperature values in the appliance closed. (crisper, chiller compartment, etc.)
7. Door gasket should be clean and flexible. Replace old gaskets.
8. Night sensor in active mode will lead to energy saving.
