THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIESPART - 2.
Information on No-Frost technology
No-frost refrigerators di󰀨er from other static refrigerators in their
operating principle.
In normal refrigerators the humidity entering the refrigerators due to
opening the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing
in the backside of air duct. To defrost the frost and ice in the backside
of air duct, you are periodically required to turn o󰀨 the refrigerator,
place the food that needs to be kept cooled in a separately cooled.
The situation is completely di󰀨erent in no-frost refrigerators. Dry and
cold air is blown into the refrigerator 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 refrigerators allows you ease of use, in addition to its
huge capacity and stylish appearance.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCEPART - 3.
• Fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) with .
• 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 a󰀨ected 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: Most e󰀩cient use of energy is ensured in the conguration with the drawers in
the bottom part of the appliance, and shelves evenly distributed, position of door bins
does not a󰀨ect energy consumption.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most e󰀩cient way to store the major
food groups in your refrigerator compartment.
