BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Before using your fridge freezer

• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.

• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

Information on the Frost Free technology

The Frost Free refrigerators are different from the other static refrigerators in terms of their operational system.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge 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 off the fridge, 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 different in no-frost fridges. Dry and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments 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.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator compartment

• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time 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.

• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.

• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment(that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storing conditions.

• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

Freezer compartment

• Use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing frozen food for a long time and producing ice.

• Place the food you would like to freeze initially in the upper basket of the freezer. Please do not place food nearby the already frozen food.

You may place your food next to the other frozen food after they are frozen (for at least 24 hours).

• You should freeze your food (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.) by dividing them into portions in such a way that they can be consumed in portions.

• Please do not refreeze frozen food once it is thawed. It may pose a danger for your health.

• Do not place hot meals in your deep freeze before they are cold.

• As you buy frozen food, make sure they were frozen under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not torn.

• While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package must be observed. If there are no instructions, the food has to be consumed in the shortest possible period of time.

• Frozen food has to be transported before it perishes and it should be placed in the fast freezing shelf as soon as possible. Do not use the door shelves for freezing purposes.

• The storage durations of frozen food changes depending on the environment temperature, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food type and the length of period that elapsed from the time the food was bought to the time it entered the freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the package and never exceed the storage duration.

Some recommendations have been specified on pages 26, 27 and 28 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

BEFORE CALLING FOR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your fridge freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following, before calling an electrician to save time and money.

What to do if your appliance does not operate;

Check if;

• There is no power,

• The general switch in your home is disconnected,

• The socket is working. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which is working into the same socket.

What to do if your appliance performs poorly;

Check if;

• You have overloaded the appliance,

• The thermostat setting is “1” position (if so set the thermostat dial suitable value)

• The doors are closed perfectly,

• There is no dust on the condenser,

• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.

If your fridge-freezer is operating too loudly;

To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises from your fridge-freezer at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically. If the noises persist;

• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?

• Is there anything behind your fridge-freezer?

• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes if this is the case.

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.

BEFORE CALLING FOR AFTER SALES SERVICE

Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.

Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.

Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.

Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in

No-Frost refrigerator during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

If there is water in the lower part of the fridge freezer,

Check that;

• The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged (Use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole)

About the water dispenser;

If the water flow is abnormal;

Check that;

• The tank is well installed.

• The tank gaskets are well assembled.

If dripping occurs:

Check that:

• The tap is well assembled.

• The tap gaskets are well assembled.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

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 (radiator, cooker, etc.). Otherwise use an insulating plate.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance. 3.

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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc. ) closed

7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
