STORING THE FOOD
Refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for a few days.
- Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.
- Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.
- Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.
- To reduce humidity and avoid the formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator.
- The meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.
- You can put fruit and vegetables into the crisper without packaging.
- To avoid cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door open for a long time.
- 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.
Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.
Food| Maximum storing time| Where to place in the fridge
compartment

Cooked food| | All shelves
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food and for storing frozen
food for the period of time indicated on the packaging and making ice cubes.
-
When freezing fresh food, wrap and seal the food properly; the packaging should be air-tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade, if in doubt double wrap), polythene bags, and plastic containers are ideal.
-
To get maximum capacity for the freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for the upper and middle sections. For the bottom section, please use a lower basket.
-
The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the nameplate (see Freezing Capacity).
-
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. The fast freezing shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment.
-
For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, set the refrigerator thermostat at 4 – 5 for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer After placing fresh food into the freezer, changing the setting to 4 – 5 for 24 hours is generally sufficient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.
-
Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen food.
-
Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage time.
-
In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
-
Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
-
When purchasing and storing frozen food products, ensure that the packaging is not damaged.
-
The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen food is indicated on the packaging.
For storing and using, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months. -
Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.
-
Once the food has thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible in order to consume or freeze it once again.
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:
- Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after being thawed they must NEVER be re-frozen.
- 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. Therefore, the frozen food should be added a little amount of spices or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
- The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil, and butter, and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
- The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.
Some recommendations have been specified on pages 16 and 17 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

Defrosting
Defrosting the fridge compartment
- Defrosting occurs fully automatically in the fridge compartment during operation; the defrosted water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
- The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the fridge instead of flowing out.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be
removed periodically.
-
Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerant circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper provided.
-
When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be carried out.
-
Before defrosting, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping it in sheets of newspaper (this will help the food to maintain its temperature for longer).
-
To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer compartment.
-
Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.
-
Once the unit has been defrosted, place the food into the freezer and remember to consume it in a short period of time.
-
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 EN – 20 to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number ‘5’ before introducing the food back into the freezer.

- It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without any handles.
- If the door opening direction of your refrigerator may be changed, you should contact the nearest Authorised Service Agent to have the opening direction changed.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the fridge freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem,
therefore to save time and money, check the following, before calling an
electrician.
What to do if your appliance does not operate
Check that:
- There is no power
- The general switch in your home is disconnected
- The thermostat setting is on the «•» position
- The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug the appliance into another socket that you know is working.
What to do if your appliance performs poorly
Check that:
- You have overloaded the appliance.
- The thermostat setting is on position “1” (if so set the thermostat dial to a suitable value).
- The doors are closed properly,
- There is no dust on the condenser,
- There is enough space at the rear and side walls.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
During automatic defrosting.
When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance
material).
Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Compressor noise
- Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
- The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash:
- This noise is caused by the flow of the fridge freezer in the tubes of the system.
If you hear any other noises check that:
–The appliance is level
–Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
–The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation
container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blow Noise: Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in fridges during
normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator
Check that:
- The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
Recommendations
- If you do not intend to use the appliance for a long time (for example during the summer holidays) unplug and clean the appliance and leave the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smells.
- To stop the appliance completely, unplug it from the main socket (for cleaning and when the doors are left open).
- If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorized Service Centre.
- The lifetime of your appliance is stated and declared by the Department of Industry. The length of time for retaining parts required for the proper operation of the appliance is 10 years.
Tips for saving energy
- Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (radiator, cooker, etc.). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
- Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
- When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.
- Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
- Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
- Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller …etc.) closed.
- The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
- It is possible to store more food by removing the freezer shelf. Energy consumption is declared with maximum load and without freezer shelves.
- 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.
