USING THE APPLIANCE

Information on Less Frost Technology

Thanks to the wrap-around evaporator, Less Frost technology offers a more efficient cooling, less manual defrost requirement, and a more flexible storage room.

Thermostat Setting

The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Cooler temperatures can be obtained by rotating the knob to higher numbers, 1 to 5.
Important note: Do not try to rotate the knob beyond position 1, it will stop your appliance from working.

Thermostat Settings

• Set the knob to a low/medium position, up to 3, for short-term storage of food in the appliance.
• Set the knob to a medium position, 3 or 4, for long-term storage of food in the appliance.
• Set the knob to 5 positions for freezing the fresh food. The appliance will run for colder temperatures.

Super freezing:
This switch shall be used as a super freeze switch. For maximum freezing capacity, please turn on this switch before 24 hours of placing fresh food. After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours ON position is generally sufficient. In order to save energy, please turn off this switch after 24 hours of placing fresh food.
Winter Switch:
If the ambient temperature is below 16º C, this switch shall be used as a winter switch and it keeps your fridge above 0º C while the freezer is below -18º C in low ambient.

Temperature Settings Warnings

• The ambient temperature, the temperature of the freshly stored food, and how often the door is opened affect the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If required, change the temperature setting.
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• When setting the thermostat, take into consideration how often the appliance doors are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located.
• 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.
• Unplug your appliance during a power cut to prevent damage to the compressor. Once power is restored, delay plugging in your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes. This will help prevent damage to the appliance’s components.
• 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 environments that are outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the appliance.

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

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

The Plastic Scraper (In some models)
After some time, frost will build up in certain areas of the freezer. The frost accumulated in the freezer should be removed regularly. Use the plastic scraper provided, if necessary. Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit.

FOOD STORAGE

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.

• 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 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.) from 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 airflow passage.

• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
  NOTE: Potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

• 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 stored 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.

---|---|---
Bottled products e.g. milk and yogurt| 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

Freezer Compartment

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be airtight 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
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
• 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.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is in contact with the cooling surface.
  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.

Important note:

• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes, and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should be added after the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil, and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

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

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 dishwasher.
• 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.

 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.

Defrosting the Freezer Compartment
Frost accumulated in the freezer compartment should be removed regularly (using the plastic scraper provided). The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the same way as the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost function, at least twice a year.
For this:

• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze food completely.
• During defrosting, frozen food should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten its storage life. Remember to use this food within a relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “•” and disconnect the appliance from the mains. Leave the door open until the unit is completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to the MAX position.

Replacing LED Lighting
If your appliance has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.

SHIPMENT AND REPOSITIONING

Transportation and Changing Positioning

• The original packaging and foam may be kept for re-transportation (optional).
• Fasten your appliance with thick packaging, bands, or strong cords and follow the instructions for transportation on the packaging.
• Remove all movable parts (shelves, accessories, vegetable bins, and so on) or fix them into the appliance against shocks using bands when repositioning or transporting. **** Always carry your appliance in the upright position.

Repositioning the Door

• It is not possible to change the opening direction of your appliance door if door handles are installed on the front surface of the appliance door.
• It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without handles.
• If the door-opening direction of your appliance can be changed, contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre to change the opening direction.

BEFORE CALLING AFTERSALES SERVICE

If your refrigerator is not working properly, there may be a minor problem. Check the following.
The appliance does not operate Check if:

• There is power
• The mains are connected
• The thermostat setting is on the “•” position
• 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 doors are closed properly
• There is any dust on the condenser
• There is enough space near the rear and sidewalls.

The appliance is noisy
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is normal. If you hear a different sound, check whether:

• The appliance is level
• Anything is touching the rear of the appliance
• Objects in the appliance are vibrating.

Your refrigerator is operating noisily
The following noises can be heard during the normal operation of the appliance.
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs

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

Clicking 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 splashing occurs:
Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water flowing noise occurs:
Due to water flowing into the evaporation container. This noise is normal during defrosting.
There is water in the lower part of the refrigerator Check if:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
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.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is located at the rear of the appliance. Therefore, water droplets or ice may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor at specified intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless there is excessive ice.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long period of time (such as during the summer holidays), set the thermostat to the “•” position, defrost and clean your fridge, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odor.
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the above instructions, please consult the nearest authorized service center.
• 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 emphasize 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, 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. 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) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket.
8. It is possible to store more food by removing the freezer shelf. Energy consumption is declared with maximum load and without freezer shelves.
