the Energy Consumption may be aected also
by the ambient temperature, as well as location
of the appliance. Temperature setting should
take into consideration these factors. Reduce
door opening to minimum.
When thawing frozen food, place it in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the refrigerator.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down
before placing in the appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has
no impact on the ecient usage of energy. Food
should be placed on the shelves in such way to
ensure proper air circulation (food should not
touch each other and distance between food
and rear wall should be kept).
You can increase storage capacity of frozen
food by removing baskets and, if present, Stop
Frost shelf.

2 USING THE APPLIANCE
2.1 Information on the Frost Free
Technology
The Frost Free refrigerators have a
dierent operating system
to static refrigerators.
In normal (static) fridges,
the humidity entering the
fridge due to opening the
door, and the humidity
inherent in the food,
causes frost build-up in
the freezer compartment.
To defrost the frost
and ice in the freezer
compartment, you are
required to periodically
switch o the fridge,
place the frozen food
in a separate cooled
container, then remove
the ice gathered in the
freezer compartment.
The situation is
completely dierent in No-
frost fridges. A built-in fan
blows dry and cold air evenly throughout
the cooler and freezer compartments. The
cold air disperses uniformly between the
shelves, ensuring all your food is cooled
equally, thus preventing humidity and frost
build-up.
Therefore, your No-frost fridge allows ease
of use, in addition to its huge capacity and
stylish appearance.
2.2 Thermostat Setting
The thermostat automatically regulates
the temperature inside the refrigerator and
freezer compartments. Cooler temperatures
can be obtained by rotating the knob to
higher numbers, 1 to 5.

• Set the knob to a low/medium position,
up to 3, for short-term storage of food in
the appliance.
• Set the knob to a medium position, 3 or
4, for long-term storage of food in the
appliance.
• Set the knob to 5 position for freezing
the fresh food. The appliance will run for
colder temperatures.
2.3 Temperature Adjustment Warnings
• It is not recommended that you operate
your fridge in environments colder than
10°C in terms of its eciency.
• Temperature adjustments should be
made according to the frequency of door
openings, the quantity of food kept inside
the fridge and the ambient temperature in
the location of your fridge.
• In order to allow your fridge to reach
the operating temperature after being
connected to mains, do not open the
doors frequently or place large quantities
of food in the fridge. Please note that,
depending on the ambient temperature,
it may take 24 hours for your fridge to
reach the operating temperature.
EN - 12
• A 5 minute delay function is applied
to prevent damage to the compressor
of your fridge when connecting or
disconnecting to mains, or when an
energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge
will begin to operate normally after 5
minutes.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature (T/N = 16°C -
43°C) intervals stated in the standards,
according to the climate class displayed

3 FOOD STORAGE
3.1 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.
• 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 sh
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 aected by ethylene-
releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot,
g 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 ow
passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the
recommended expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic
should not be stored in the refrigerator.
3.2 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.
• 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.
EN - 15
• 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 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.
• 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.
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.
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.
• 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.

• When the appliance is cooled
or warmed (due to expansion of
appliance material).
Clicking noise occurs: When the
thermostat switches the compressor on/
o.
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor
is operating normally. The compressor
may cause more noise for a short time
when it is rst activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing
occurs: Due to the ow of the
refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water owing noise occurs: Due
to water owing to the evaporation
container. This noise is normal during
defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs: During
normal operation of the system due to
the circulation of air.
There is a build-up of humidity inside
the fridge
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers
must be dry before being placed in the
fridge.
• The fridge doors are opened frequently.
Humidity of the room will enter the
fridge each time the doors are opened.
Humidity increases faster if the doors
are opened frequently, especially if the
humidity of the room is high.
• There is a build-up of water droplets
on the rear wall. This is normal after
automatic defrosting (in Static Models).
The doors are not opening or closing
properly
Check if:
• There is food or packaging preventing the
door from closing
• The door compartments, shelves and
drawers are placed properly
• The door gaskets are broken or torn
• Your fridge is level.
The edges of the fridge in contact with
the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm weather),
the surfaces in contact with the door joint
EN - 19
may become warmer during operation of
the compressor. This is normal.
Important Notes:
• In the case of a power failure, or if the
appliance is unplugged and plugged in
again, the gas in the cooling system of
your refrigerator will destabilise, causing
the compressor protective thermal
element to open. Your refrigerator will
start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• If the appliance will not be used for a long
period of time (such as during holidays),
disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean
the refrigerator, leaving the door open
to prevent the formation of mildew and
odour.
• If the problem persists after you have
followed all the instructions above,
please consult the nearest Authorised
Service Centre.
• This appliance is designed for domestic
use and for the stated purposes only. It is
not suitable for commercial or common
use. If the consumer uses the appliance
in a way that does not comply with these
instructions, we emphasise that the
manufacturer and the dealer will not be
responsible for any repair or failure within

7 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. 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 dierent
temperature compartments (such as the
crisper and chiller) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and
pliable. In case of wear, if your gasket
is detachable, replace the gasket. If not
detachable, you have to replace the
door.

Defrostıng the freezer compartment
The freezer should be defrosted once or
twice a year or when excessive frost is
present (3 mm thickness). The formation
of frost is normal. The amount and rate at
which frost accumulates depends on room
conditions and how often the door is open.
To defrost the unit, switch o the product
and take out all food. Leave the freezer
door open to allow the frost to melt. Use the
box under the bottom front of the appliance
to collect water (showed on the gure).
Clean the inside of the freezer. Rinse and
