General Features of Your Appliance
1. When the doors are closed, check that there are no gaps
between the door gasket and the appliance body. If
there are any gaps, x it.
2. Do not force the door open immediately after it has
closed. Please wait until the pressure has stabilised.
3. Our patented mullion bar design eliminates the fracture
risk which can occur due to misuse. This risk is common
for opponent manufacturers.
4. Our new No-Frost technology ensures that the
air circulates separately in the cooler and freezer
compartments. This ensures that no odours pass
between compartments, so vegetables remain fresh for
longer periods.
5. The energy ecient fan maintains air circulation by
running independently, even if the compressor is not in
operation. Thus, a uniform and balanced air circulation
is created between cooler shelves.
6. Hidden LEDs and hidden air conduit holes give the
cooler an aesthetic appearance.
7. Through specic air conduit design, the fans distribute
the cold air from multiple vents on all shelves in the
cooler.
8. By special patented application, display edges and
corners form a smooth surface against the door and
ensure a perfect aesthetic appearance. Thanks to the
touch-operated electronic control panel, temperature
controls can be accessed easily ensuring an aesthetically
even view.
9. The appliance contains LEDs which gradually
illuminated, rather than a sudden light. The LEDs reach
100% brightness within a few seconds of the door being
opened.
10. A telescopic rail used in the chiller compartment
ensures that the chiller operates easily and quietly.
11. The chiller door includes a self-closing function to avoid
slamming or being left open.
12. Anti-nger inox doors never leave nger prints thanks
to a special sheet layer coated over the stainless door
sheet.
Even-circ
Even-circ, prevents fresh food losing moisture. This
technology ensures that air circulates evenly throughout the
fridge compartment, this helps prevent food from drying out.
Fresh food then maintains its texture and taste of food by
preventing any humidity loss.
Using the appliance
Information on No-Frost Technology (Fig. 2.3)
No-frost refrigerators have a dierent operating system to
static refrigerators. In normal (static) fridges, the humidity
entering the fridge due to opening the door and the
humidity inherent in the food causes ice to form in the freezer
compartment.
To remove the frost and ice from the freezer compartment,
it is required to periodically switch the fridge o and place
frozen food in a separate cooled container.
The situation is completely dierent in Nofrost fridges. A
built-in fan blows dry and cold air evenly into the cooler
and freezer compartments. The cold air disperses uniformly
between the shelves, ensuring all your food is cooled evenly,
thus preventing humidity and icing to occur.
Therefore, your No-frost fridge allows ease of use, in addition
to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.
In the refrigerator compartment, there will be nearly same
conguration with freezer compartment. Air, that is emitted
with the fan, located at the top of refrigerator compartment,
is cooled while passing through the gap behind the air duct.
At the same time, air is blown out through the holes on the
air duct so that cooling process is successfully completed in
the refrigerator compartment.
Holes in the air duct are designed such that the air
distribution becomes homogenous in this compartment.
As there is no air passage between freezer and refrigerator
compartment, there will be no odor mixing.
As a result of these, your fridge with new generation cooling
technology, gives you, ease of use beside the huge volume
and esthetic appearance.
Shelves
The height of the cantilever shelves can be adjusted to t
your storage needs.
 Make sure that the two sides of the shelf are in level
positions otherwise food may drop o.
The shelves will not pull out accidentally when you remove
foodstu from the appliance.

Ionizer
Fig. 2.4
Fig. 2.5
 When opening or closing the dairy bin, please take
care not to trap your ngers (Fig. 2.4).
Ionizer / Range Fresh
Ethylene gas is emitted by some fruits and vegetables and
causes the fresh groceries to start ripening. When this gas is
produced in an enclosed environment, it is re-absorbed by
the fruit and vegetables and further accelerates the aging
process.
This fridge freezer provides two dierent solutions to this
naturally occurring problem:
Ionizer (Fig. 2.5)
Ionizer spreads negative ions which neutralize particles of
unpleasant smell and dust in the air.
By removing these particles from the air in the refrigerator,
Ionizer improves air quality and eliminates odours.
Range Fresh (Fig. 2.6)
Range Fresh Preserver helps to remove ethylene gas
(a bioproduct released naturally from fresh foods) and
unpleasant odors from the crisper.
It must be regenerated once a year under a full day sunlight
for 24 hours, for example on a window sill.
To regenerate the lter, remove the casing of the lter box by
pulling it in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 2.6).
The lter should not be washed with water or in any
detergent.

If you do not use the ice container for long periods of
time:
If you will not be using the ice container for a long time,
throw out the remaining ice cubes, wash the container with
warm water, dry it with a towel and place back in the fridge.
Note: When opening the upper freezer drawer, avoid rapid
pull out which can cause the ice cubes to fall into the lower
deep freeze drawer.
Accessories
Ice trays
Fill the icebox with water and replace it. Ice will be ready after
approximately 2 hours.
When replacing the icebox after lling it with water, make
sure it is positioned horizontally. If it is tilted, water inside the
ice tray may spill onto the basket.
Vegetable Bowl and Chiller (Breakfast) (Fig. 2.7)
This compartment can be used as a chiller compartment,
where food can be kept at 0°C. Frozen food can be kept in this
compartment to defrost. Meat and/or clean sh (in plastic
bags or packets), which will be consumed within 1 to 2 days,
can also be stored here.
Water freezes at 0°C, but food containing salt or sugar freezes
at colder temperatures.
Do not put food to be frozen or iceboxes in this
compartment.
Crisper Air Setting button (Fig. 2.8)
Turn the air adjustment knob between the crisper and chiller
to the open position when the crisper is full. Food in the
crisper will remain fresh for a longer period of time.

About the Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment consists of upper and lower
drawers.
The lower deep freeze drawer (Fig. 2.9) is for longer duration
freezing.
Note: Do not pull the freezer drawers with too much force as
food may fall out. Do not overpack the drawer otherwise food
will fall out when opening too fast.
The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for
storing frozen food, and for making ice cubes.
If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not
closed properly, frost will form and can prevent ecient air
circulation. To resolve this, unplug the freezer and wait for it
to defrost. Clean the freezer once it has fully defrosted.
Remove baskets, covers, and so on, to increase the storage
volume of freezer.
The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without
baskets, covers, and so on.
 IMPORTANT
Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose a danger to your
health and cause problems such as food poisoning.
Do not put warm food in the deep freeze compartment until
it has completely cooled. It will thaw already frozen food,
which may then rot.
When purchasing frozen food, make sure it has been stored
under appropriate conditions and the packaging is not
damaged.
Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of
humidity or if it has a foul odour. The food may not have been
stored correctly and may have gone rotten.
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 freezer. Always
follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never
exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
NOTE: Remove frozen food from the freezer the day before
consumption, and put in the bottom compartment of
the refrigerator. This helps reduce the temperature in the
refrigerator, which in turn saves energy. If the frozen food
defrosts in an open area, energy loss will occur.
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.

Temperature Adjustment Warnings
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in
environments colder than 16°C in terms of its efficiency.
• 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 fridge and the ambient temperature in
the location of your fridge.
• In order to allow your fridge to reach the operating
temperature after being connected to mains, do not
open the doors frequently or place large quantities of
food in the fridge. Please note that, depending on the
ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your
fridge to reach the operating temperature.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage
to the compressor of your fridge when connecting or
disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown
occurs. Your fridge will begin to operate normally after
5 minutes.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient
temperature (T/SN = 16°C - 43°C) intervals stated in
the standards. We do not recommend operating your
appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms
of cooling effectiveness.
NOTE: If the ambient temperature is higher than 42°C, the
compartment temperature cannot be set to -23°C or -24°C. It
can only be set to -16°C, -17°C, -18°C, -19°C, -20°C -21°C or -22
°C.

Food storage
Refrigerator Compartment
• 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 fish 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 affected by ethylene-releaser fruits
(banana, peach, apricot, fig 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 flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended
expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the
refrigerator. The table Table 4.1 is a quick guide to show you
the most ecient way to store the major food groups in your
refrigerator compartment.

Tips on Storing Fresh Food
• Make sure that foods, which have been cooked and
require chilling, are at room temperature before placing
them into the appliance. Make sure that these foods are
stored in suitable containers.
• Foods stored in the refrigerator should be cleaned and
dried before storing.
• Before foods are put into the refrigerator, it is
recommended that the foods should be pressurised,
so that the water cannot vaporise, and the fruits and
vegetables keep fresh and food smells will not mix.
• Stored foods can be marked in bags.
• Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the
shelf.
• Make sure that foodstuffs are stored systematically (raw
meats with raw meats, dairy with dairy) to avoid flavour
transfer and cross contamination. Raw meats should be
stored towards the bottom of the appliance to prevent
the possibility of it dripping onto uncooked food. Other
foods should be stored above raw meat.
• When storing food in the fresh food section always
make sure there is adequate space for airflow
circulation. This helps to maintain the shelf life of the
food.
• When storing food in the refrigerator make sure that
foods are not too close to the rear wall to avoid the risk
of freezing.
• It is suggested for radishes and other root vegetables to
trim the leaves. This keeps the nutrition in the root and
not absorbed by the leaves.
• Put frozen foods into the fresh food area to let them
defrost. The low temperature of the refrigerator reduces
the formation of bacteria and extends food life.
• Some foods like onions, garlic, bananas and root
vegetables are better stored at room temperature than
in the fridge.
• Melon, pineapples and bananas can go directly into the
freezer after preparing, for storage over a longer period.
• Packaging fresh foods properly, using the correct
temperature and taking into account food hygiene, will
enhance the quality of fresh foods stored within this
appliance.
• Use plastic bags, aluminium foil or other food wraps to
cover fresh foods not in packaging to prevent flavour
transfer and prevent contamination.
• Before storing items in multi-packs (i.e. yoghurt) remove
any excess packaging.
• NEVER store anything that is flammable, volatile or
explosive inside the appliance.
• Beverages with high alcohol content should be stored
vertically in tightly sealed bottles.
• Delicate foods should be stored in the coolest part of
the appliance.
• Try not to open the door too often.
• Set the thermostat to make sure that foods remain
suitably cold; try to avoid freezing within the fridge.
Using a thermometer will help you to judge how cool
the appliance is. Place it into a glass of water and leave
it inside the appliance for several hours to get a reliable
reading.
• Some foods contain natural oils and acids (e.g. citric
acid) which can damage plastics if spilled – make sure
these foods are suitably contained.
• Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that
something has spilled and cleaning is required. Using
warm water with bicarbonate of soda will clean the
interior of the appliance and remove most spillages (see
‘Cleaning and Maintenance’).
• Always remember to remove perishable foods from this
appliance before taking prolonged trips of holidays.

Tips on Freezing Food
• As with storing fresh foods, suitable packaging, correct
temperature and food hygiene will enhance the quality
of the food you are freezing.
• Avoid putting hot foods into the freezer. First let them
cool until they reach room temperature.
• Make sure that all foods for freezing are of a high
quality, and suitable for freezing.
• Use packaging material that is odourless and airproof
(such as plastic bags) to store food in so different foods
can be mixed without affecting the quality. Make sure
that it is airtight. Leaking packaging will dehydrate the
products and lead to loss of beneficial vitamins.
• Keep the surface of the packaging dry – this keeps the
packs from freezing together.
• Mark packages with the kind of food contained and the
date of storage.
• Food needs to be frozen quickly, so it is best to
freeze small portions whenever possible and ensure
that they are as cold as possible before storage. The
recommended maximum weight for each portion is
2.5 kg.
• Keep food which is fresh away from food which is
already frozen, if you need to freeze fresh food every
day, make sure that it is in small portions to prevent this.
• Do not exceed the maximum load for freezing, please
refer to the “Technical Data”.
• Write the expiry date and food names on the outside of
the packaging so you can be assured of the food type
and when it is safe to eat.
• Take food from the freezer to defrost when needed.
Defrosted food cannot be refrozen unless it is cooked.
• Do not put too much fresh food into the freezer at once.
This could go beyond the freezer’s cooling capacity.
Please refer to the “Technical Data”.
When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these
guidelines:
• Always follow manufacturers’guidelines for the length
of time you should store food for. Do not exceed these
guidelines!
• Try to keep the length of time between purchase and
storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.
• Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a
temperature of –18°C or below.
• Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the
packaging – This indicates that the products might have
been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point –
temperature rises affect the quality of food.
• Should there be a power cut, or the freezer /
refrigeration appliance fail for any length of time you
may need to remove food from the freezer and store
in a cold, hygienic place (i.e. garage or out house area)
until the power is restored, or the appliance is repaired.
• To prevent undue temperature rises you should wrap
the foods in layers of insulating material, such as
newspaper, to help to maintain their temperature. It is
also important that any food affected by this situation
should be either consumed or cooked and refrozen
(where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent
health risks.
• Layers of newspaper can also be used to help keep
foods cold while you are defrosting the freezer (see
‘Cleaning and Maintenance’).
