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.

4 FOOD STORAGE
4.1 Refrigerator Compartment
· 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
ethylenereleaser 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.
EN – 38
· 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.

4.2 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.
EN – 39
· 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. · 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.

5 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it.
Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps for cleaning the appliance.
After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have
finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands. ·
Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical
components. · The appliance should be cleaned regularly using a solution of
bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. · Clean the accessories separately by
hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a dish washer.
· Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year. This will help you
to save on energy costs and increase productivity.
The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning.
EN – 42
5.1 Defrosting Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment
· Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during
operation. The water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates
automatically.
· The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically
with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom
of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
· You can also clean the drain hole by pouring half a glass of water down it.
Freezer defrosting process
· Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending on the
length of time the door may be left open or the amount of moisture introduced.
It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form in places
where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal. This might allow air
to penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous running of the compressor.
Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic
scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means
to accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the
cabinet floor. It is not necessary to switch off the appliance for the removal
of thin frost.
· For the removal of heavy ice deposits, disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply, empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick
blankets or layers of paper to keep cool. Defrosting will be most effective if
carried out when the freezer is nearly empty and should be carried out as
quickly as possible to prevent an unnecessary increase in the temperature of
the contents.
· Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process. An increase in temperature of frozen food
during defrosting will shorten the storage life. Keep contents well wrapped
and cool while defrosting is taking place.
EN – 43
· Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.
· To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water
in the freezer compartment.
· Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the
packages have thawed out, they should be eaten within 24hours, or be cooked
and re-frozen.
· After defrosting is complete, clean the inside of the appliance with a
solution of warm water and a little bicarbonate of soda, then dry thoroughly.
Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Reconnect the
appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number MAX
before introducing the food back into the freezer.
Replacing LED Lighting To replace any of the LEDs, please contact the nearest
Authorised Service Centre.
Note: The numbers and location of the LED strips may change according to the
model.
If product equipped with LED lamp This product contains a light source of

EN – 44
7 BEFORE CALLING AFTERSALES SERVICE
If you are experiencing a problem with your appliance, please check the
following before contacting the after-sales service.
Your appliance is not operating
Check if: · There is power · The plug is correctly placed in the socket · The
plug fuse or the mains fuse has
blown · The socket is defective. To check this,
plug another working appliance into the same socket.
The appliance performs poorly
Check if: · The appliance is overloaded · The appliance door is closed
properly · There is any dust on the condenser · There is enough space near the
rear and
side walls.
Your appliance is operating noisily
Normal noises
Cracking noise occurs: · During automatic defrosting · When the appliance is
cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
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 occurs: 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.
EN – 45
Recommendations
· If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes
before plugging the appliance in or restarting it 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.
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.
8. Energy consumption of your appliance is declared without drawers and fully
loaded in freezer compartment.
9. For saving energy, do not use volume between the load limit and the door,
along the load limit line. Load limit line is also used in energy consumption
declaration.
8 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.
