HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE

Information on the Frost Free technology

The Frost Free refrigerators are different from the other static refrigerators in terms of their operational system.

In normal fridge freezers, the humidity entering the fridge 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 fridge, 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 no-frost refrigerators. 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 freezer allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

Warnings for Temperature Settings

  • The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened affects the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If required, change the temperature setting.
  • 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 by taking into consideration how often the fresh food and freezer doors are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located.
  • 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 - 38°C range.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, in order to save time and money, check the following, before calling an electrician.

What to do if your appliance does not operate;

Check that:

  • There is no power,
  • The general switch in your home is disconnected,
  • The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working into the same socket.

What to do if your appliance performs poorly,

Check that:

  • You have overloaded the appliance,
  • The thermostat setting is in position "1" (if so, set the thermostat dial to a suitable value)
    • The doors are closed properly,
    • There is no dust on the condenser,
  • There is enough place at the rear and side walls.

If there is noise:

The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite normal. If you hear any other noises, check that:

• The appliance is level
- Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance.
- The objects on the appliance are vibrating.

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator,

Check that:

The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole)

Recommendations

- The compressor protection thermal fuse will cutout after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilised. This is quite normal and the fridge will restart after 4 or 5 minutes.

- The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear of the appliance. Therefore, water droplets or icing may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor at specified intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.

- To stop the appliance completely, unplug it from main socket (for cleaning and when the doors are left open).

- If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

- The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use and can only be used 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 this, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.

- The lifetime of your appliance is stated and declared by the Department of industry. The period for retaining parts required for the operation of the appliance is 10 years.

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.
