Information about New Generation

Cooling Technology

Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a different operating system to static fridges. Other (static) fridges may experience a build up of ice in the freezer compartment due to door openings and humidity in the food. In such fridges, regular defrosting is required; the fridge must be switched off, the frozen food moved to a suitable container and the ice which has formed in the freezer compartment removed. In fridges with new-generation cooling technology, a fan blows dry cold air evenly throughout the fridge and freezer compartments. The cold air cools your food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity and ice build-up. In the refrigerator compartment, air blown by the fan, located at the top of the refrigerator compartment, is cooled while passing through the gap behind the air duct. At the same time, the air is blown out through the holes in the air duct, evenly spreading cool air throughout the refrigerator compartment.There is no air passage between the freezer and refrigerator compartments, therefore preventing the mixing of odours. As a result, your fridge, with newgeneration cooling technology, provides you with ease of use as well as a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.

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 (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.
