3 USING THE APPLIANCE
3.1 Information on No-Frost technology
No-frost refrigerators differ 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 off the refrigerator, place the food that
needs to be kept cooled in a separately
cooled. The situation is completely different
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.

allows food to retain freshness and avour
for longer, while preserving its fresh
appearance. When the chill drawer 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 chill drawer is usually used for storing
foods such as raw sh, lightly pickled food,
rice, and so on.

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
efciency.
• 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.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately
helps prevent ethylene-sensitive
vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being affected 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 sufcient 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 efcient way to store the
major food groups in your refrigerator
compartment.

5.1 Defrosting
water tray
• Your appliance performs automatic
defrosting. The water formed as a result
of defrosting passes through the water
collection spout, ows into the water tray
behind your appliance and evaporates
there.
• Make sure you have disconnected the
plug of your appliance before cleaning
the water tray.
• Remove the water tray from its position
by removing the screws (if it has screws).
Clean it with soapy water at specic time
intervals. This will prevent odours from
forming.
