6. USING THE APPLIANCE

Information on No-Frost Technology
No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in their operating principle.
In normal refrigerators the humidity entering the refrigerators due to opening the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the backside of air duct. To defrost the frost and ice in the backside of air duct, you are periodically required to turn off the refrigerator, place the food that needs to be kept cooled in a separately cooled. The situation is completely different in no-frost refrigerators. Dry and cold air is blown into the refrigerator 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 refrigerators allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

Accessories
Chiller shelf
Keeping food in the Chiller compartment instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartment allows food retain freshness and flavor longer, while preserving its fresh appearance. When chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash it with water.

Water freezes at 0°C, but foods containing salt or sugar freeze at temperature lower than that.

Normally people use the chiller compartment for raw fish, lightly pickled, rice, etc.

Do not put foods you want to freeze or ice trays in order to make ice. Removing the Chiller shelf

• Pull the chiller shelf out toward you by sliding on rails.
• Pull the chiller shelf up from rail to remove.

Fresh dial
When the humidity controller in the closed position, it allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored longer.
In case of the crisper is totally full, the fresh dial is located in front of crisper, should be opened. By means of this the air in the crisper and humidity rate will be controlled and endurance life will be increased.

If you see any condensation on glass shelf, humidity control should be taken into the open positions.

Visual and text descriptions on the accessories section may vary according to the model of your appliance.

7. STORING THE FOOD

• To reduce humidity and the consequent increase in frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the fridge compartment. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and in time will more frequent defrosting will be required.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch the back wall of the appliance as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you intend to use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the fridge compartment.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice cream and making ice cubes.
• One, two and three star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not together.

The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

9. TROUBLESHOOTING

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

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 sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which is working into the same socket.

What to do if your appliance performs poorly

Check that:

• You have not overloaded the appliance.
• The fridge temperature set to 2.
• The door is closed perfectly.
• There is no dust on the condenser.
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.

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.

Compressor noise: 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 fridges during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm
Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge

• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Is the fridge’s door opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the door is opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the door more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

If the door is 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?

Recommendations
To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when the door is left open).

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. 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.
4. 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.
5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller, etc.) closed.
6. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket.
