General notes:
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 distributed, position of door bins does not affect energy consumption.

Information on No-Frost technology
No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in their operating principle. 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. Therefore your no- frost refrigerators allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Thermostat Setting
The fridge thermostat automatically regulates the temperature of the compartment. Fridge temperatures can be obtained by rotating the knob to higher numbers, 1 to 5.

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.
• For long-term storage of food in the refrigerator, you can set knop maximum position (4 – 5).

Temperature Settings Warnings

• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• Do not start another adjustment before completing one adjustment.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.
• When you first switch on the appliance, allow it to operate for 24 hours in order to reach normal operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door or place a lot of food inside the appliance.
• 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.
• Your fridge is designed to operate within specific ambient temperature ranges, according to the climate class stated on the information label. We do not recommend operating your fridge outside the stated temperatures value limits.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C -43°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.

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

FOOD STORAGE

• 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.
• 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 and vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

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.

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.

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 re-positioning 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 AFTER-SALES 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 is 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 side walls.

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 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.

B ubbling 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.

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 “•” position, defrost and clean your fridge, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odour.
• 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, 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, if your gasket is detachable, replace the gasket. If not detachable, you have to replace the door.
