• 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, in order

to keep the refrigerator compartment at

optimum 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 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 table below is a quick guide to show

you the most efficient way to store the

major food groups in your refrigerator

compartment.

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.

• Cooked dishes must remain covered

when they are kept in the fridge.Do

not place warm foods in fridge.Place

them when they are cool, otherwise the

temperature/humidity inside the fridge will

increases, 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.) 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.

• 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.

NOTE:

Potatoes, onions and garlic should not

4.2 Freezer Compartment

• 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 air 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 of time 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 not 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.

• 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. Fast freezing shelf is the

upper shelf of the freezer compartment.

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 dish washer.

• 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.

5.1 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.

Freezer defrosting process

• Small amounts of frost will accumulate

inside the freezer, depending on the

length of time the door may be left open

or the amount of moisture introduced.

It is essential to ensure that no frost or

ice is allowed to form in places where

it will affect the close fitting of the door

seal. This might allow air to penetrate the

cabinet, encouraging continuous running

of the compressor. Thin frost formation

is quite soft and can be removed with a

brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal

or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or

other means to accelerate the defrosting

process. Remove all dislodged frost from

the cabinet floor. It is not necessary to

switch off the appliance for the removal

of thin frost.

• For the removal of heavy ice deposits,

disconnect the appliance from the

mains supply, empty the contents into

cardboard boxes and wrap in thick

blankets or layers of paper to keep cool.

Defrosting will be most effective if carried

out when the freezer is nearly empty

and should be carried out as quickly

as possible to prevent an unnecessary

increase in the temperature of the

contents.

• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers,

mechanical devices or other means to

accelerate the defrosting process. An

increase in temperature of frozen food

during defrosting will shorten the storage

life. Keep contents well wrapped and cool

while defrosting is taking place.

• Dry the inside of the compartment with a

sponge or a clean cloth.

• To accelerate the defrosting process,

place one or more bowls of warm water

in the freezer compartment.

• Examine the contents when replacing

them in the freezer and if some of the

packages have thawed out, they should

be eaten within 24hours, or be cooked

and re-frozen.

EN - 20

• 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

to the mains supply and leave for 2 to

3 hours on setting number MAX before

introducing the food back into the freezer.

7 BEFORE CALLING AFTER-

SALES SERVICE

If you are experiencing a problem with

your appliance, please check the following

before contacting the after-sales service.

Your appliance is not operating

Check if:

• There is power

• The plug is correctly placed in the socket

• The plug fuse or the mains fuse has

blown

• 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 appliance door is closed properly

• There is any dust on the condenser

• There is enough space near the rear and

side walls.

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 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: In some

models during normal operation of the

system due to the circulation of air.
