General Features of Your Appliance

1. Our patented tribal design eliminates the fracture risk that can occur due to misuse. This risk is common for opponent manufacturers.
2. The cooler and freezer compartments have separate air circulation systems due to our new No-Frost technology. This ensures that no odors pass between compartments, and vegetables remain fresh for longer periods.
3. The energy-efficient fan maintains air circulation by running independently of the compressor. Thus, a uniform and balanced air circulation is created between cooler shelves.
4. Through specific air conduit design, the fans distribute cold air from multiple vents on all shelves in the cooler.
5. By special patented application, display edges and corners form a smooth surface against the door and ensure a perfect aesthetic appearance. The touch-operated electronic panel allows easy access to temperature controls and provides an aesthetically even view.
6. The appliance contains LEDs which gradually illuminate, rather than sudden bright lights. The LEDs reach 100% brightness within a few seconds after the door is opened.
7. A telescopic rail is used in the chill drawer to ensure that the chill operates easily and quietly.
8. The chill door includes a self-closing function to avoid slamming or being left open.

General notes:

• Fresh Food Compartment (Fridge): The most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance, and shelves evenly distributed, the position of door bins does not affect energy consumption. Freezer
• Compartment (Freezer): The most Efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers and bins are on stock position.

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 that 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 odors. 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.

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 the fridge. Place them when they are cool, otherwise, the temperature/humidity inside the fridge will increase, 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.) from being affected by ethylenereleaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig, etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables in 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 airflow 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, to keep the refrigerator compartment at maximum 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 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, t, and vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.
• Avoid placing food in a way that blocks the entrance to air vents. It should be open position the ventilation channels for best cooling performance.

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

Food

| Maximum storage time| How and where to store
---|---|---
Vegetables and fruits| 1 week| Vegetable bin
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
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
For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the freezer compartment to -18 or -20 C.

• 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 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 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 nis ot 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. The table below is a quick guide to show  you the most efficient way to store the major

 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
Cleaning the evaporation bowl: Your fridge defrosts automatically. Water produced by defrosting flows into an evaporation container, passing through a water-collecting groove, where it vaporizes.

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.

SHIPMENT AND REPOSITIONING
The original packaging and foam may be kept for re-transportation (optional). Fasten your fridge with thick packaging, bands, or strong cords, and follow the instructions for transportation given on the package. Remove all movable parts (shelves, accessories, vegetable bins, etc.) or fix them into the fridge against shocks using bands during re-positioning and transportation. An ambient sensor, Electronical board, and hinge covers are available on your refrigerator. During cleaning, make sure no fluid enters this area. The refrigerator must be carried by at least 4 people, as in the figure.

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 occur: Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the thetubes of the system.
• Water flowing noise occurs Duetowaterflowingg to the evaporation container. This noise is normal during defrosting.
• Air blowing noise occurs In submodels during normal operation oof the systemduee to the circulation of air.
• The edges of the appliance in contactwith 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. The 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:

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

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 the 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 authorized service centre.

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 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.

16°C- 43°C range.
