3 USING THE FRIDGE-FREEZER
3.1 Information about New Generation
Cooling Technology
Fridge - freezers with new-generation
cooling technology
have a di󰀨erent
operating system to
static fridge - freezers.
Other (static)
fridge - freezers may
experience a build up of
ice in the freezer
compartment due to
door openings and
humidity in the food. In
such fridge - freezers,
regular defrosting is
required; the
fridge - freezer must be
switched o󰀨, the frozen
food moved to a
suitable container and
the ice which has
formed in the freezer
compartment removed.
In fridge - freezers 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 fridge compartment, air blown by
the fan, located at the top of the fridge
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 fridge compartment.
There is no air passage between the
freezer and fridge compartments, therefore
preventing the mixing of odours.
As a result, your fridge - freezer, with new-
generation cooling technology, provides
you with ease of use as well as a huge
volume and aesthetic appearance.

3.4 Temperature Adjustment Warnings
• It is not recommended that you operate
your fridge - freezer in environments
colder than 10°C in terms of its e󰀩ciency.
• Do not start another adjustment while you
are already making an adjustment.
• Temperature adjustments should be
made according to the frequency of door
openings, the quantity of food kept inside
the fridge - freezer and the ambient
temperature in the location of your
fridge - freezer.
• In order to allow your fridge - freezer to
reach the operating temperature after
being connected to mains, do not open

EN - 13
the doors frequently or place large
quantities of food in the fridge - freezer.
Please note that, depending on the
ambient temperature, it may take 24
hours for your fridge - freezer to reach
the operating temperature.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to
prevent damage to the compressor of
your fridge - freezer when connecting
or disconnecting to mains, or when
an energy breakdown occurs. Your
fridge - freezer will begin to operate
normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge - freezer is designed to
operate in the ambient temperature (T/
SN = 10°C - 43°C) intervals stated in
the standards, according to the climate
class displayed on the information
label. We do not recommend operating
your fridge - freezer out of the stated
temperature limits in terms of cooling
e󰀨ectiveness.
Climate
Class Ambient Temperature oC
TBetween 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
NBetween 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)
Important installation instructions
This fridge - freezer is designed to work
in di󰀩cult climate conditions and is
powered with ‘Freezer Shield’ technology
which ensures that the frozen food in the
freezer will not defrost even if the ambient
temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So you
may then install your fridge - freezer in an
unheated room without having to worry
about frozen food in the freezer being
spoilt. When the ambient temperature
returns to normal, you may continue using
the fridge - freezer as usual.
3.5 Accessories
3.5.1 Ice Tray
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in
the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely frozen,
you can twist the tray as shown below to
remove the ice cubes.
3.5.2 The Freezer Box
The freezer box allows food to be accessed
more easily.
Freezer boxes
Ice trays
Removing the freezer box:
• Pull the box out as far as possible
• Pull the front of the box up and out
Carry out the opposite of this operation
when retting the sliding compartment.
Always keep hold of the handle of the
box while removing it.

EN - 14
3.5.3 The Chiller Shelf
Chiller shelf
Keeping food in the Chiller compartment,
instead of the freezer or fridge
compartments, allows food to retain
freshness and avour 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 sh, 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.
3.5.4 The Fresh Dial
Fresh dial
If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located
in front of the crisper should be opened.
This allows the air in the crisper and the
humidity rate to be controlled, to increase
the life of food within.
The dial, located behind the shelf, must be
opened if any condensation is seen on the
glass shelf.

EN - 15
3.5.5 Maxi-fresh preserver
Maxi Fresh Preserver technology helps to
remove ethylene gas (a
bioproduct released naturally
from fresh foods) and
unpleasant odors from the
crisper. In this way, food stays
fresh for a longer time.
• Maxi Fresh Preserver must
be cleaned once in a year.
The lter should be heated
for 2 hours at 65°C in a
oven.
• To clean the lter, please
remove the back cover of the lter box by
pulling it in the direction of the arrow.
• The lter should not be washed with
water or any detergent.
Maxi Fresh Preserver
(In some models)
Visual and text descriptions in
the accessories section may vary
according to the model of your
fridge - freezer.
4 FOOD STORAGE
4.1 Fridge Compartment
• To reduce humidity and avoid the
consequent formation of frost, always
store liquids in sealed containers in the
fridge. Frost tends to concentrate in the
coldest parts of the evaporating liquid
and, in time, your fridge - freezer will
require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the fridge.
Warm food should be allowed to cool
at room temperature and should be
arranged to ensure adequate air
circulation in the fridge compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact
with the rear wall of the fridge - freezer
as frost will develop and packaging will
stick to it. Do not open the fridge 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 a󰀨ected by ethylene-
releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot,
g etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the fridge.
• Storage time for all food products
depends on the initial quality of the food
and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle
before fridge storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not
store meat products with fruit and
vegetables. Water leaking from meat may
contaminate other products in the fridge.
You should package meat products and
clean any leakages on the shelves.

EN - 16
• 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 fridge.
The table below is a quick guide to
show you the most e󰀩cient way to store
the major food groups in your fridge
compartment.

4.2 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.
• 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 fridge - freezer
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 fridge - freezer 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

EN - 17
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
