USING THE APPLIANCE

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 new-generation cooling technology, provides you with ease of use as well as a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.

Door Open Alarm Function
If fridge door is opened more than 2 minutes, appliance sounds ‘beep beep’.

Temperature Settings Warnings

• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges 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 outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the appliance and the ambient temperature in the location of your appliance.
• When the appliance is first switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to reach operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large quantity of food inside.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your appliance when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your appliance will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.

Climate class and meaning:

• T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.
• ST (subtropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C.
• N (temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C.
• SN (extended temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C.

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

Ice Tray (In some models)

• Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely frozen, you can twist the tray as shown below to remove the ice cubes.

The Storage Box
You can adjust and use this department for 2 different functions.

Your fridge is delivered to you with the cover shown in the open position. Declared energy consumption and volume are defined according to the Chiller option of the product.

• To use for 0 °C department:
  If you want to use this compartment as a 0 °C box, you must take the sliding cover (indicated in the picture) from the closed position to the open position.

• To use for Crisper department:
  If you want to use this compartment as a Crisper, you must take the sliding cover (indicated in the picture) from the open position to the closed position.

While this department is used as a 0 °C department, keeping food in the Chiller, compartment instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartments, allows food to retain freshness and flavour for longer, while preserving its fresh appearance.  When the Chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash with water. Water freezes at 0°C, but food containing salt or sugar freezes at temperatures lower than this. The Chiller compartment can be used for storing foods such as raw fish, lightly pickled food, rice, and so on.  Pull the chiller shelf out towards you. The cover will open automatically.Do not put food you want to freeze or ice trays (to make ice) in this compartment.

The Fresh Dial (In some models)

If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located in front of the crisper should be opened. This allows the air in the crisper and the humidity rate to be controlled, to increase the life of food within. The dial, located behind the shelf, must be opened if any condensation is seen on the glass shelf.

FOOD STORAGE

Refrigerator Compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the cooler compartment to +4 or +6 C.

• 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.
• Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are kept in the fridge. Do not place warm foods in fridge.Place them when they are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge will increases, reducing the fridge’s efficiency.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Do not allow food to come into contact with the temperature sensor, which is located in the refrigerator compartment, in order to keep the refrigerator compartment at optimum temperature.

• 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 stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

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

Meat and fish

|

2 – 3 days

| Wrap in plastic foil, bags, or in a meat container and store on the glass shelf
Fresh cheese| 3 – 4 days| On the designated door shelf
Food| Maximum storage time| How and where to store
---|---|---
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

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

Freezer Compartment

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.

• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags. For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.

• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.

• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.

• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting

• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.

• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.

• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as possible.

• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated. The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

• If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost will form and can prevent efficient air circulation. To resolve this, unplug the freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean the freezer once it has fully defrosted.

• The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and so on.

• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose a danger to your health and cause problems such as food poisoning.
  NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.

• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, set the refrigerator at 4 oC for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.

• After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 2 oC for 24 hours is generally sufficient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.

• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power. Fast freezing shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment.

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

After cleaning the bowels and scales of the fish, wash and dry it. If necessary, remove the tail and head.

Normal noises
Cracking noise occurs:

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

A short cracking noise occurs: When the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.

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 occur: Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system. Water-flowing noise occurs: Due to water flowing to the evaporation container. This noise is normal during defrosting.

Air-blowing noise occurs: In some models during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air. The edges of the appliance in contact with the door joint are warm Especially during summer (warm seasons), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may become warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.

There is a build-up of humidity inside the appliance

Check if:

• All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the appliance.
• The appliance door is opened frequently. Humidity of the room enters the appliance 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 does not open or close properly
Check if:

• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
• The door joints are broken or torn
• Your appliance is on a level surface.

The compressor can run loudly or the noise of the compressor/refrigerator may increase in some models during operating in some conditions such that the product is plugged in for the first time, depending on change in the ambient temperature or change of usage. That is normal; when the refrigerator reaches the required temperature, the noise decreases automatically.

Recommendations

• If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before  plugging the appliance in or restartingit in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
• If you will not use your appliance for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your appliance according to chapter cleaning and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the above instructions, please consult the nearest authorised service centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use only. 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.

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

1. Install the appliance in a cool, wellventilated 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.
