CHAPTER 2. USAGE INFORMATION

Information on No-Frost technology

No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in their operating principle.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to opening the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the freezer department. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to turn off the fridge, place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container and remove the ice gathered in the freezer department.

The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments 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 fridge allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

Temperature Settings

Cooling compartment

The thermostat ensures that the temperature settings in the cooling and freezing compartments of your refrigerator are controlled automatically. It may be used to set to any value ranging from 1 to 6. As you turn the thermostat setting knob from 1 to 6, the amount of cooling increases.

Cooling compartment thermostat knob:

5 - 6 : For more cooling.

3 - 5 : For normal use.

Warnings about Temperature Adjustments

- 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 according to the frequency of door openings and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.

- 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 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 - 43°C range.

Climate Class Ambient
T	16 to 43 °C
ST	16 to 38 °C
N	16 to 32 °C
SN	10 to 32 °C

CHAPTER 3. PLACING THE FOOD

Cooling Compartment

• To prevent humidification and odor formation, the food should be placed in the refrigerator in closed or covered containers.
• Hot foods and drinks should be cooled to room temperatures before being placed in the refrigerator.
• Please do not prop packaged food and containers against the lamp or cover of the cooling compartment.
• Fruits and vegetables may be placed directly in the vegetable holder without being wrapped separately.
• Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.

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

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. Meat should never be refrozen after it is thawed if it has not been cooked before refreezing.

The Deep Freeze Compartment

• Use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing the frozen food for a long time and for producing ice.
• To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for upper and middle section. For bottom section, please use lower basket.
• Place the food you would like to freeze initially in the upper shelf of the deep freeze section in such a way that it shall not exceed the declared freezing capacity of your refrigerator. You may place your food next to the other frozen foods after they are frozen (for at least 24 hours).
• It is recommended to keep thermostat set at level 3,5.
• It is recommended that the food which is being newly frozen be kept separate from the already frozen food.

- Foods should be frozen in single portion sized containers.

- Do not refreeze the frozen food once it is thawed. It may pose a danger to your health as it might cause problems like food poisoning.

- Do not place hot meals in your deep freeze until they cool down. You could cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze compartment to become spoiled.

- As you buy frozen food, make sure it was frozen under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not torn.

- While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there are no instructions, the food has to be consumed in the shortest possible period of time.

- Frozen food has to be transported before it thaws and it should be placed in the fast freezing shelf as soon as possible. Please do not use the door shelves for fast freezing purposes.

- If the frozen food package has been humidified and it has a foul odor, the food might have previously been stored under unsuitable conditions and become spoiled. Please do not buy such food!

- The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the environmental temperatures, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food types, and the period of time that elapsed from when the food was acquired to the time it entered the freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the package and never exceed the storage duration.

- During extended power outages, please do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. This preservation time period decreases the higher the ambient environmental temperatures are. During longer lasting power cuts, you should not refreeze your food.

Some recommendations have been specified on pages 10, 11 and 12 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

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.

CHAPTER 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

- Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.

- Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.

• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.

- The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.

THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.

Defrosting

• Your refrigerator performs automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporisation container behind your refrigerator and evaporates there.
• Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your refrigerator before cleaning the vaporisation container.
• Remove the vaporisation container from its position by removing the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy water at specific time intervals. This will prevent odours from forming.

Replacing LED Lighting

If your refrigerator has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.

CHAPTER 5.

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION

Transportation and Changing of Installation Position

• The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.
• During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.

- Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie,shelves,crisper...) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent them from getting damaged.

Carry your fridge in the upright position.

Simple line drawing of two children playing a game with a large block (no text or symbols)

Repositioning the door

- It is not possible to change the opening direction of your refrigerator door, if the door handle on your refrigerator is installed from the front surface of the door.

- It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without any handles.

- If the door opening direction of your refrigerator may be changed, you should contact the Gram Service to have the opening direction changed.

CHAPTER 6. BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

If your refrigerator is not working:

• Is there an electrical failure?
- Has the plug been correctly connected to the socket?
- Has there been a blow-out in the fuse or breaker of the electrical circuit to which the plug has been connected?
- Are there any faults with the socket? For this purpose, try the plug of your refrigerator by connecting it to a socket which you are sure is working.

If your refrigerator does not get cold enough:

• Is the thermostat set in the coldest position?
• Are the doors of your refrigerator opened very frequently and do they remain open for long periods of time?
• Do the doors of your refrigerator fully closed and are the door gaskets sealing correctly?
• Are any containers or dishes placed in your refrigerator contacting the back wall in such a way that they are obstructing the air circulation?
  • Is your refrigerator over-filled?
• Is there enough space between your refrigerator and the back and side walls?

If the food in the Cooling/Freezing compartment is colder than necessary:

• Has a suitable temperature setting be made? (Are the thermostat knobs in the position "5"?)
• Is there too much newly placed food in the deep freeze compartment?

If there is, the compressor shall operate longer for freezing it; hence it may also possibly be cooling the food in the cooling compartment more than necessary.

If your refrigerator is operating noisily:

The compressor shall from time to time energize to ensure that the adjusted coolness level remain fixed. The noises that may be heard from the refrigerator at that time are normal as required by function.

Once the required coolness level has been achieved, the noises should automatically diminish.

If there is still noise:

• Has your refrigerator been leveled? Have the feet been adjusted and set?
  • Is there anything behind your refrigerator?
• Are the shelves or the plates on the shelves of your fridge vibrating? If so, then rearrange the shelves and/or plates.
• Are the goods placed in your fridge vibrating? Secure them or rearrange on the shelf.

Crackling (Ice Cracking) Noise:

• It is heard during the automatic defrosting process as the ice which has formed on the cooling coil melts and falls into the drain trough.
• Once the device has been cooled or heated (the expansions and contractions of the actual product material).

Short Cracking Noise: It is heard when the thermostat turns the compressor on and off.

Compressor Noise:

• It is a normal engine noise. This noise indicates that the compressor is operating normally.
• As the compressor is being energized, it might run a bit more noisily for a short period of time.

Bubbling and gurgling sound: This noise is emitted as the coolant fluid flows through the pipes within the system.

Water flowing sound: This is the normal sound of water flowing into the drain trough during the defrosting process.

Air blowing sound: It is the normal fan sound. This sound may be heard due to air circulation in No Frost refrigerators when the system is operating normally.

If the edges of the refrigerator cabinet contacted by the door seal are hot:

- Especially in summer months (in hot weather), there might be warming of the surfaces contacted by the seal on the refrigerator. This is normal.

If there is moisture on the inner parts of your refrigerator:

• Has the food been properly packaged and sealed? Have the containers been well dried before they were put into the refrigerator?
• Are the doors of the refrigerator opened very frequently? Once the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in the room enters the refrigerator. Especially if the humidity levels in the room are very high. The more frequently the door is opened, the faster will be the humidification.
• It is normal to have water drops formed on the back wall following the automatic defrosting process (In Static Models).

If the doors are not being properly closed:

• Are food packages preventing the doors from being closed?
• Have the door compartments, shelves and drawers properly placed?
• Are the door seals defective or torn?
  • Is your refrigerator standing on level ground?

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• In case of a sudden power loss or disconnecting and reconnecting of the plug to the electrical socket, the compressor protective thermal element will be opened as the pressure of the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator has not yet been balanced. 4 or 5 minutes later, your refrigerator will start to operate; this is normal.
• If you won't be using your refrigerator for a long time (such as on summer holidays), please disconnect the plug from the socket. Clean your refrigerator as per Part 4 of this document and leave the door open to prevent any humidification or odor formation.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult to the nearest Authorized Service.
• The appliance you have purchased 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 a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.

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 when it is thawing. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.

4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance. Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.

5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc) closed

7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
