PART – 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

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.

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

Temperature indicator

In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in the coldest area. To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make sure the message “OK” appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does not appear, this means that the temperature setting has not been done properly. Since “OK” appears in black, it will be difficult to see this indication if the temperature indicator is badly lit. To be able to see this indication properly, there should be enough light.
Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilisation of the temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary, with a new temperature setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively and wait at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.
NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal ice crystals build up (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until compressor off periods are obtained again.

Putting food in the coldest area of the refrigerator
Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most appropriate cooling area. The coldest area is just above the crisper.
The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your refrigerator.
To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is located at the level of this symbol, as shown in the illustration.

The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by the lower side of the sticker (head of the arrow). The coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level with the arrow head. The coldest area is below this level.
As these shelves are removable, make sure they are always at the same level with these zone limits described on the stickers, in order to guarantee temperatures in this area.

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

PART – 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• Fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) with .
• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• 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.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.

NOTE: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance, and shelves evenly distributed, position of door bins does not affect energy consumption.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

and store on the glass shelf
Fresh cheese| 3 – 4 Days| On the designated door shelf
Butter and margarine| 1 week| On the designated door shelf
Bottled products e.g. milk  and yoghurt| Until the expiry date recommended by the producer| On the designated door shelf
Eggs| 1 month| On the designated egg shelf
Cooked food| 2 Days| All shelves

2.Reduce the fridge compartment temperature
3.Check to see if vents are clear and not clogged If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted.

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.
Your fridge is not operating
Check if:

• There is power
• The plug is correctly connected to the socket
• The plug or mains fuse has blown
• The socket is faulty. Examine this by plugging your fridge into a working socket.

What to do if your appliance performs poorly;
Check that;

• You have not overloaded the appliance ,
• The fridge temperature set to 8.
• The door is closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.

Your fridge is operating noisily
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:

• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

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: Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Air blowing noise: Indicates normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
There is a build-up of humidity inside the cooler
Check if:

• All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the fridge.
• The fridge door is opened frequently. Humidity of the room enters the fridge 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 is not opening and closing properly
Check if:

• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
• The door compartments, shelves and drawers are placed properly
• The door joints are broken or torn
• Your fridge is level.

Recommendations

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

Hints for Energy Saving

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. 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.
4. 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.
5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments ( such as the crisper and  Extra Chill Drawer ) closed.
6. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, if your gasket is detachable, replace the gasket. If not detachable, you have to replace the door.
7. Eco mode / default setting function preserves fresh foods while saving energy.
8. Fresh Food Compartment (Fridge): Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance, and shelves evenly.
