EN -10-

THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

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 which 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 odours.

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.

Warnings about Temperature Adjustments

• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings

and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.

• This fridge is designed to work in all ambient temperature. In the ambient temperatures

colder than -5

C, preserving food in the refrigerator compartment isn’t suggested

because the foods that you put into refrigerator compartment, will have a temperature

close to ambient temperature. Consequently, they will freeze. You can keep your foods

until -5

C in refrigerator compartments. With the aid of special algorithm that is designed

by engineers, foods can be preserved in the freezer compartment, colder than -5

ambient temperature.

• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature

without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not open doors

of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period.

• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting

or re-plugged the unit in order not to damage the compressor.

• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the

standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not

recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of

cooling effectiveness.

• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 10°C - 43°C

range.

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.

• Pull the lever towards you and remove the

ice maker tray

• Fill with water to the marked level

• Hold the left end of the lever and set the

ice-tray on the icebox

• When ice cubes have formed, twist the lever

to drop the ice cubes into the icebox.

Note:

Do not fill the icebox with water in order to make ice. It can be broken.

The movement of the ice maker may be difficult while the refrigerator is running. In such

a case should be cleaned by removing the glass shelves.

Removing the icemaker

• Take out of the freezer glass shelves

• Remove the icemaker by dragging left or

right on the shelf.

You can remove the icemaker to use a larger

volume of the freezer compartment.

The Chiller Shelf

Keeping food in the Chiller compartment, instead

of the freezer or refrigerator compartments, allows

food to retain freshness and flavour for longer, while

preserving its fresh appearance. When the Chiller

tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash with water.

(Water freezes at 0°C, but food containing salt or

sugar freezes at temperatures lower than this).

The Chiller compartment is usually used for storing

foods such as raw fish, lightly pickled food, rice, and

so on.

Do not put food you want to freeze or ice trays (to make ice) in the Chiller

compartment.

To remove the Chiller Shelf:

• Pull the chiller shelf towards you by sliding it

on the rails.

• Pull the chiller shelf up from the rail and remove

it from the fridge.

After the chiller shelf is removed, there will be

space for up to 20kg of food to be placed in the

fridge.

Refrigerator Compartment

It is sufficient to set the fridge thermostat to position ‘2’ or ‘3’ for normal operatingconditions.

• 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 vegetables are not stored

together.

• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent

moisture and odors.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE PART - 3.

EN -17-

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the

refrigerator.

Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are

kept in the fridge. Place them in the fridge when they

are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge

will increases, reducing the fridge’s efficiency. Covering food

and drink also preserves their flavour and aroma.

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.

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 All shelves

Freezer Compartment

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.

• 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

• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.

• 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.

Temperature sensor area

EN -18-

• 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.

• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated

on the appliance label.

• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is in

contact with the cooling surface.

• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, turn the

thermostat knob to the coldest setting 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer.

• It is generally sufficient to set the thermostat to the coldest setting for a further 24 hours

after placing the fresh food in the freezer. After this time, reduce the thermostat knob

setting if required.

• Attention. To save energy, if you are only freezing small amounts of food, do not set the

thermostat knob to the coldest setting.

In some models: While loading the freezer compartment, do not fill above

the guidelines otherwise the door will not close properly. If the freezer

compartment door does not close properly, excess ice will form in the freezer

compartment. To prevent the problem recurring, clear the ice and make

sure the door is fully closed.

Also, not closing the freezer and/or fridge compartment doors will increase

your energy consumption.

If the lower shelf of the freezer door is removed and

food obstructs the air suction hole, the efficiency of

your fridge will reduce.

Therefore, take care while loading the freezer

compartment and make sure not to cover the air

suction hole.

Important note:

• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.

• 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 of time.

Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should

be added after the food has thawed.

Air suction hole

EN -19-

• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine,

calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.

• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in

plastic folios or bags.
