3 USING THE APPLIANCE

3.1 Information on No-Frost technology

No-frost freezers di󰀨er from other static

freezers in their operating principle.

In normal freezers, the humidity entering

the freezer due to opening the door and

the humidity inherent in the food causes

freezing in the freezer compartment. To

defrost the frost and ice in the freezer

compartment, you are periodically required

to turn o󰀨 the freezer, place the food that

needs to be kept frozen in a separately

cooled container and remove the ice

gathered in the freezer compartment.

The situation is completely di󰀨erent in no-

frost freezers. Dry and cold air is blown into

the freezer 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 and freezing.

Therefore your no-frost freezer allows you

ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity

and stylish appearance.

EN - 17

4 FOOD STORAGE

For normal operating conditions, set the

temperature of the freezer compartment to

-18 or -20

• 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 e󰀩cient 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 nd that it will not open easily. This

is normal. Once equilibrium has been

reached, the door will open easily.

If you would use maximum freezing

capacity of your freezer:

• While freezing fresh foods, the maximum

amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be

frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the

appliance label.

• For optimum appliance performance

to reach maximum freezing capacity,

activate Super Freeze (SF) mode 24

hours before placing fresh food into the

freezer.

• After placing fresh food into the freezer,

24 hours is generally su󰀩cient for

freezing. ”Super Freeze” mode will be

deactivated automatically in 2-3 days to

save energy.

If you would freeze a small amount (up

to 3 kg) in your freezer:

• Place your food without touching already

frozen food and activate “Fast Freezing”

mode. You can put your food next to

other frozen food after it is completely

frozen (after minimum 24 hours).

• Do not re-freeze frozen food after it has

thawed. This may cause health issues,

such as food poisoning.

EN - 18

• Allow hot food to completely cool down

before placing it in the freezer.

• When buying frozen food ensure that

these have been frozen at suitable

temperatures and that the packing is

intact.

• 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 bottom drawer of the freezer

compartment.

• To use the maximum capacity of the

freezer compartment, use the glass

shelves for the upper and middle section,

and use the lower basket for the bottom

section.

5 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

nished 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.

disconnected during cleaning.

5.1 Defrosting

water tray

• Your appliance performs automatic

defrosting. The water formed as a result

plug of your appliance before cleaning

the water tray.

• Remove the water tray from its position

by removing the screws (if it has screws).

Clean it with soapy water at specic time

intervals. This will prevent odours from

forming.
