THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
PART - 2.
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.

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 freezer and the ambient temperature in the location
of your freezer.
• In order to allow your freezer to reach the operating temperature after being connected
to mains, do not open the door frequently or place large quantities of food in the freezer.
Please note that, depending on the ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your
freezer to reach the operating temperature.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your freezer
when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your
freezer will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your appliance 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

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCEPART - 3.
• 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.

EN - 13 -
• 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.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated
on the appliance label.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
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.

EN - 14 -
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in
plastic folios or bags.

Hints for Energy Saving
1. In󰀬all 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. 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 ta󰀬e.
4. 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.
5. The door gasket mu󰀬 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.
6. Eco mode / default setting function preserves frozen foods while saving energy.
7. Frozen Compartment (Freezer): The internal conguration of the appliance is the one that
ensures the mo󰀬 e󰀩cient use of energy.
8. Do not remove the cold accumulators from the freezer basket (if present).
