3 USING THE APPLIANCE
3.1 Information on the Frost Free Technology
Frost Free fridge freezers have a different operating system to static fridge
freezers. In normal (static) freezers, the humidity entering the freezer due
to opening the door, and the humidity inherent in the food, causes frost
buildup in the freezer compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the
freezer compartment, you are required to periodically switch off the fridge,
place the frozen food in a separate cooled container, then remove the ice
gathered in the freezer compartment. The situation is completely different in
Frost Free freezers. A built-in fan blows dry and cold air evenly throughout
the freezer compartments. The cold air disperses uniformly between the
compartments, ensuring all your food is cooled equally, thus preventing
humidity and frost build-up. Therefore, your Frost Free freezer allows ease of
use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.
3.2 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.
Lamp cover
Thermostat knob
Thermostat settings:
1 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment.
3 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment.
5: For freezing fresh food. The appliance will work longer. Once the food is
fully frozen, reset the thermostat to its original position.
3.3 Temperature Adjustment Warnings
· It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder
than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
· Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door
openings, the quantity of food kept inside the fridge and the ambient
temperature in the location of your fridge.
· In order to allow your fridge to reach the operating temperature after being
connected to mains, do not open the doors frequently or place large quantities
of food in the fridge. Please note that, depending on the ambient temperature,
it may take 24 hours for your fridge to reach the operating temperature.
EN – 12
· A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of
your fridge when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy
breakdown occurs. Your fridge will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
· Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature (ST/N =
16°C – 38°C) intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class
displayed on the information label. We do not recommend operating your
appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling
effectiveness.
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.
3.4 Accessories
Visual and text descriptions in the accessories section may vary according to
the model of your appliance.
3.4.1 Ice Tray
· 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.
3.4.2 The Freezer Box The freezer box allows food to be accessed more easily.
Freezer boxes
or
Freezer boxes Freezer flap cover
Removing the freezer box: · Pull the box out as far as possible · Pull the
front of the box up and out
Carry out the opposite of this operation when refitting the sliding
compartment. Always keep hold of the handle of the box while removing it.
EN – 13
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.
· 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
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.
· 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: 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 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 major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

The following noises can be heard during 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 to the
evaporation container. This noise is normal during defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs: During normal operation of the system due to the
circulation of air.
There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge
Check if:
· All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in
the fridge.
· The fridge doors are opened frequently. Humidity of the room will enter the
fridge each time the doors are opened. Humidity increases faster if the doors
are opened frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
· There is a build-up of water droplets on the rear wall. This is normal after
automatic defrosting (in Static Models).
The doors are not opening or 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 gaskets are broken or torn
· Your fridge is level.
The edges of the fridge in contact with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm weather), the surfaces in contact with the door
joint may become warmer during operation of the compressor. This is normal.
Important Notes:
· In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged
in again, the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator will destabilise,
causing the compressor protective thermal element to open. Your refrigerator
will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
· If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (such as during
holidays), disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving
the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odour.
· If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above,
please consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

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. 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. 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.
· This appliance is designed for domestic use and for the stated purposes
only. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer uses
the appliance in a way that does not comply with these instructions, we
emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any
repair or failure within the guarantee period.
