12 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Information on the Frost Free technology
The Frost Free refrigerators are different from the other static
refrigerators in terms of their operational system.
In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge 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 off the fridge, 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 different in no-frost fridges. Dry
and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments
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.
Before using your fridge freezer
• When using your fridge for the rst time, or after
transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3
hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efcient
operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the
rst time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when
your fridge starts to cool.
