BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE

1.6 General information about new FROST FREE Technology

New Frost Free fridges differ from other static fridges in their operating principle.

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

The situation in the freezer compartment is completely different in Frost Free 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 two different parts of your refrigerator do not mix.

Therefore, your new frost-free fridge allows ease of use, besides its huge volume and stylish appearance.

When this compartment is used as a 0°C compartment (chiller), it ensures that your food is preserved at 0°C. You can keep frozen foods that you take out of the deepfreeze compartment to defrost them, or you can keep meats and cleaned fish (in plastic bags or packets) that you will use within 1-2 days without needing to freeze them.

Note: Water freezes at 0°C, but foods containing salt or sugar may freeze at lower temperatures.

! Please do not put food you would like to freeze or iceboxes in this compartment.

USE OF APPLIANCE

2.5.3 CRISPER AIR SETTING BUTTON

Turn the air adjustment knob between the crisper and chiller to the open position when the crisper is excessively filled. This adjusts the air intake into the crisper, keeping food fresh for a longer period.

Visual and text descriptions in the accessories section may vary depending on the model of your appliance.

PART 3. PLACING THE FOOD

3.1 Cooler Compartment

• Under normal operating conditions, it is sufficient to set the cooler compartment temperature to +4 / +6 °C.
• To avoid frosting, humidification, and odor, 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 in the crisper without packaging.

Important Note:

- Cover liquids and stews when placing them in the fridge. Otherwise, the humidity inside the fridge increases, causing the fridge to work harder. Covering food and beverages also helps preserve their taste and flavor.

- Potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the fridge.

Some suggestions for placing and storing food in the fridge compartment are provided below.

Food Storing time		Where to place in the fridge department
Vegetables and fruits: 1 week		Vegetable bin (without being wrapped)
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

PLACING 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 the freezer open for a long time, frosting will appear on the lower stage of the freezer. Thus, air circulation will be obstructed. To avoid this, first unplug the cord and wait until it thaws. After the ice melts, you should clean the freezer.
• You can remove baskets, covers, etc. to increase the storage volume of the freezer. • The volume specified on the product label shows the value without baskets, covers, etc.

IMPORTANT

Please never refreeze frozen food after thawing it.

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

• Do not place hot food in the freezer before cooling it. 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 that its package is not torn.
• If there is humidification on the package of frozen food and a smelly odor, the food may have been stored under inappropriate conditions beforehand and may have decayed. Do not buy such food.
• Storing time for frozen food may differ according to ambient temperature, frequency of door openings, thermostat adjustments, type of food, and the time between buying the food and placing it in the freezer. Always follow the instructions on the package and do not exceed the storing period.
• Note: If frozen food taken out of the freezer of the refrigerator is placed into the bottom compartment one day before, it helps the refrigerator by preserving its temperature there, so energy will be saved. If you put the material in the deep freeze in 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 provided on pages 79, 80, and 81.

PART 4. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Make sure to unplug the fridge before starting to clean it.

- Do not wash your fridge by pouring water.

- You can wipe the inner and outer sides of your appliance with a soft cloth or a sponge using warm and soapy water.

- Remove the parts individually and clean with soapy water. Do not wash in washing machine.

- Never use flammable, explosive or corrosive material like thinner, gas, acid for cleaning.

- The condenser (the back part with black wings) should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or a dry brush at least once a year. This will help your freezer to operate more efficiently and will enable you to save energy.

Cleaning evaporation bowl

- Your fridge defrosts automatically. Water produced by defrosting flows to evaporating container passing through water collecting groove, and vaporizes here by itself.

4.1 Replacing LED lights used for illumination

For replacing LED lights used for illumination, contact an authorized service.

PART 5. SHIPMENT AND REPOSITIONING

• Original package and foam may be kept for re-transportation (optionally).
• You should fasten your fridge with thick package, bands or strong cords and follow the instructions for transportation on the package for re-transportation.
• Remove movable parts (shelves, accessories, vegetable bins etc.) or fix them into the fridge against shocks using bands during re-positioning and transportation.
• An ambient sensor, main board and hinge covers are available on your refrigerator. During cleaning, make sure no fluid enters this area.

Carry your refrigerator with 4 people as indicated in the figure.

BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

Check Warnings;

If your fridge is not operating;

• Is there any electrical faults? • Is your appliance plugged? - 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 exactly.

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 Frost Free 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 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, the thermal protector will cut off the power of the compressor temporarily because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet. Your fridge will start after 4 or 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. 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 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.
• The lifetime of your appliance stated and declared by the Consumer Protection and Market Surveillance General Directorate under T.R. Ministry of Customs and Ministry (the period for retaining parts required for the proper functioning of the appliance) is 10 years.

6.1 Recommendations for Energy Saving

1. Place your appliance in a cool and well-ventilated room, avoid placing it towards direct sunlight or near heat radiators (radiator, oven, etc.). Otherwise, use an insulation plate.
2. Allow hot food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. Place frozen food in the refrigerator for thawing. When frozen food is thawed, its lower temperature will help the 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 the 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 the door of the appliance open for as short a time 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.
