Simple everyday use
Information on No-Frost
Technology
No-frost refrigerators differ from other static
refrigerators in the way they work. In static fridges,
the humidity entering the fridge due to door
openings and the humidity inherent in 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 appliance,
place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a
separately cooled container, and remove the ice
gathered in the freezer compartment.
It is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry
and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer
compartments continuously and evenly from
several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed
continuously and evenly between the shelves
cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus
preventing humidity and freezing.
Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease
of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish
appearance.

Arranging Food in the Appliance
Fridge Compartment
• To prevent humidity and odor forming, the
food should be placed in the refrigerator in
closed or covered containers.
• Hot foods and drinks should be cooled to
room temperatures before being placed in
the refrigerator.
• Please do not place packaged food and
containers against the lamp or cover of the
cooling compartment.
• Fruits and vegetables may be placed directly
in the vegetable holder without being
wrapped separately.
• 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. Meat should
never be refrozen after it is thawed.
Freezer compartment
• Use the deep freeze compartment of your
refrigerator for storing the frozen food for a
long time and for producing ice.
• To get maximum capacity from your freezer
compartment, please just use the glass
shelves for upper and middle section. For
bottom section, please use lower basket.
• Place the food you would like to freeze
initially in the upper shelf of the deep freeze
section. You may place your food next to the
other frozen foods after they are frozen (for at
least 24 hours).
• It is recommended to keep thermostat set at
level 5.
• It is recommended that the food which is
being newly frozen be kept separate from the
already frozen food.
• Do not refreeze the frozen food once it is
thawed. It may pose a danger to your health
• Do not place hot meals in your deep freeze
until they cool down. You could cause the
•
other food frozen beforehand in the deep
freeze compartment to become spoiled.
As you buy frozen food, make sure it was
frozen under appropriate conditions and that
the packaging is not torn.
While storing frozen food, the storage
conditions on the package should be
observed. If there are no instructions, the food
has to be consumed in the shortest period of
time.
Frozen food has to be transported before
it thaws and it should be placed in the fast
freezing shelf as soon as possible. Please do
not use the baskets for fast freezing purposes.
The storage durations of frozen food depend
on the environmental temperatures, the
frequent opening and closing of the doors,
temperature settings, food types, and the
period of time that has elapsed from when
the food was acquired to the time it entered
the freezer. Always abide by the instructions
on the package and never exceed the storage
duration.
During power cuts, please do not open
the door of the deep freeze compartment.
Your refrigerator will preserve your frozen
food in the ambient temperature of 25 oC
for about 13 hours. This preservation time
period decreases the higher the ambient
temperatures are. During extended power
cuts, you should not refreeze your food and
should be disposed of accordingly.
Note:
• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be
cooked just like fresh foods. Once food is
thawed, it must NEVER be re-frozen.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in
suitable plastic sealed containers. Other food
types can also be frozen in suitable plastic
sealed containers or alternatively freezer bags.
Important note:
• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be
cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not
cooked after being thawed they must NEVER

• 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. Therefore, the frozen
food should be added little amount of spices
or the desired spice should be added after the
food has been thawed.
• The storage period of food is dependent on
the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine,
olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are
peanut oil and lard oil..
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in
plastic cups and the other food should be
frozen in plastic folios or bags.
Tips for Saving Energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated
room, but not in direct sunlight or near heat
sources (radiators, cooker, etc....).
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down
before placing in the appliance.
3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the
refrigerator compartment. The frozen food
will help to cool the refrigerator compartment
when it is thawing.
4. When placing liquids in the appliance they
must be covered.
5. When placing food and drinks, open the
appliance door as briefly as possible.
6. Keep closed the covers of any different
temperature compartments in the appliance
(crisper, chiller ...etc ).
7. Door seals should be kept clean and
undamaged.

If your fridge is not operating;
• Is there a power failure?
• Is the plug connected to the socket correctly?
• Is the fuse of the socket to which the plug is
connected or the main fuse blown?
• Is there any failure at the socket? To check
this, plug your refrigerator to a socket this is
surely operating.
If your fridge is not cooling enough;
• Is the temperature adjustment right?
• Is the door of your fridge opened frequently
and left open for a long while?
• Is the door of fridge closed properly?
• Did you put a dish or food on your fridge so
that it contacts the rear wall of your fridge so
as to prevent the air circulation?
• Is your fridge filled excessively?
• Is there adequate distance between your
fridge and the rear and side walls?
• Is the ambient temperature within the range
of values specified in the operating manual?
If the food in your refrigerator compartment is
over cooled
• Is the temperature adjustment right?
• Are there many food recently put inside the
freezer compartment? If so, your fridge may
over cool the food inside the refrigerator
compartment as it will operate longer to cool
these food.
If your fridge is operating too loudly;
To maintain the set cooling level, compressor
may be activated from time to time. Noises from
your fridge 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?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves
vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes
if this is the case.
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?
Normal Noises;
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.
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 fridge during
normal operation of the system due to the
circulation of air.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge;
• Are all food packed properly? Are the
containers dried before placing them in the
fridge?
• Are the fridge doors opened frequently?
Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when
the doors are opened. Humidity build up will
be faster when you open the doors more
frequently, especially if the humidity of the
room is high.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
• In case of a sudden power loss or
disconnecting and reconnecting of the plug
to the electrical socket, the compressor
protective thermal element will be opened
as the pressure of the gas in the cooling
system of your refrigerator has not yet been
balanced. In 4 or 5 minutes, your refrigerator
will start to operate; this is normal.
• If you won’t be using your refrigerator for
a long time (such as on summer holidays),
please disconnect the plug from the socket.
Clean your refrigerator as described in
Chapter 6 of these instructions and leave the
door open to prevent any humidification or
odour forming.

all the instructions above, please consult to
