CHAPTER 3. USING THE APPLIANCE

INFORMATION ON NO-FROST TECHNOLOGY

No-frost freezers differ from other static freezers in their operating principle. In normal freezers, the humidity entering the freezer due to opening the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the freezer compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to turn off the freezer, place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container and remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment.

The situation is completely different in nofrost freezers. Dry and cold air is blown into the freezer compartment homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus preventing humidity and freezing. Therefore your no-frost freezer allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

VISUAL AND TEXT DESCRIPTIONS IN THE ACCESSORIES SECTION MAY VARY ACCORDING TO THE MODEL OF YOUR APPLIANCE.

CHAPTER 4. FOOD STORAGE

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the freezer compartment to -18 or -20°C.

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• 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 efficient 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 find 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.

Do not add any fresh produce to the freezer compartment until the correct temperature has been reached and the error is no longer. If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted.

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:

• There is power
  • 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/off.

Motor noise:

Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.

Bubbling noise and splash occurs:

Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.

Water flowing noise occurs:

Due to water flowing 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.

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.

CHAPTER 8. TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

1. Install the appliance in a cool, wellventilated 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 different 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.
