General Features of Your Appliance
1. Our patented trizbar design eliminates
the fracture risk which can occur due
to misuse. This risk is common for
opponent manufacturers.
2. The cooler and freezer compartments
have separate air circulation systems
due to our new No-Frost technology. This
ensures that no odours pass between
compartments, and vegetables remain
fresh for longer periods.
3. The energy ecient fan maintains air
circulation by running independently
of the compressor. Thus, a uniform
and balanced air circulation is created
between cooler shelves.
4. Through specic air conduit design,
the fans distribute cold air from multiple
vents on all shelves in the cooler.
5. By special patented application, display
edges and corners form a smooth
surface against the door and ensure
a perfect aesthetic appearance. The
touch-operated electronic panel allows
easy access of temperature controls and
provides an aesthetically even view.
6. The appliance contains LEDs which
gradually illuminate, rather than sudden
bright lights. The LEDs reach 100%
brightness within a few seconds after the
door is opened.
7. A telescopic rail is used in the chiller
compartment to ensure that the chiller
operates easily and quietly.
8. The chiller door includes a self-closing
function to avoid slamming or being left
open.

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

4 FOOD STORAGE
4.1 Refrigerator Compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the
temperature of the cooler compartment to
+4 or +6 oC.
• 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.
• Cooked dishes must remain covered
when they are kept in the fridge.Do
not place warm foods in fridge.Place
them when they are cool, otherwise the
temperature/humidity inside the fridge will
increases, reducing the fridge’s eciency.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact
with the rear wall of the appliance as
EN - 20
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.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately
helps prevent ethylene-sensitive
vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being aected 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.
• 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.
Do not allow food to come into contact with
the temperature sensor, which is located
in the refrigerator compartment, in order
to keep the refrigerator compartment at
optimum temperature.
• For normal working conditions, it will
be sucient to adjust the temperature
setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge
compartment should be in the range
of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are
iced and rotted, bacterial load increases
above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator
immediately, wait for the temperature
to pass outside. Hot foods increase the
degree of your refrigerator and cause
food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling
of the food.
• Meat, sh, etc. should be store in the
chiller compartment of the food, and the
vegetable compartment is preferred for
vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat
products and fruit vegetables are not
stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator
in closed containers or covered to
prevent moisture and odors.
The table below is a quick guide to show
you the most ecient way to store the
major food groups in your refrigerator
compartment.
