FOOD STORAGEPART - 3.
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 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.
• For normal working conditions, it will be su󰀩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.

EN - 12 -
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

EN - 14 -
Defrosting
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The
water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the
defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator
instead of owing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring half a glass of water down it.

BEFORE CALLING AFTER-SALES SERVICE
PART - 6.
If your refrigerator is not working properly, there may be a minor problem. Check the following.
The appliance does not operate
Check if:
• Your fridge is plugged in and switched on
• The fuse has blown
• Is the temperature adjustment right?
• The socket is faulty. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket.
The appliance performs poorly
Check if:
• Is the temperature adjustment right?
• Is the door of your fridge opened frequently and left open for a long while?
• The appliance is overloaded
• The door is closed properly
• Is your fridge lled excessively?
• There is an adequate distance between the appliance and surrounding walls
• Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specied in the operating manual?
The appliance is noisy
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling
sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is normal. If you hear a
di󰀨erent sound, check whether:
• The appliance is level
• Anything is touching the rear of the appliance
• Objects in the appliance are vibrating.

EN - 16 -
Your refrigerator is operating noisily
The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance.
Clicking noise occurs: When the thermostat switches the compressor on/o󰀨.
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may
cause more noise for a short time when it is rst activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing occurs: Due to the ow of the refrigerant in the tubes
of the system.
Water owing noise occurs: Due to water owing to the evaporation container. This
noise is normal during defrosting.
There is water in the lower part of the refrigerator
Check if:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the fridge.
• The fridge doors are opened frequently. Humidity of the room will enter the fridge each
time the doors are opened. Humidity increases faster if the doors are opened frequently,
especially if the humidity of the room is high.
The door is not opening or closing properly
Check if:
• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
• The door compartments, shelves and drawers are placed properly
• The door gaskets are broken or torn
• Your fridge is level.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched o󰀨 or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the
appliance in or restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is located at the rear of the appliance. Therefore,
water droplets or ice may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation
of the compressor at specied intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a
defrosting operation unless there is excessive ice.
• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long period of time (such as during the
summer holidays), disconnect the appliance from the mains, defrost and clean your
fridge, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odour.
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the above instructions, please consult the
nearest authorised service centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use only. It is not suitable
for commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does
not comply with this, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be
responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.

Tips For Saving Energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near
a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered, the
humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy.
Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
4. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily
often.
5. Keep the covers of the di󰀨erent temperature compartments (such as the crisper and
chiller) closed.
6. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, if your gasket is detachable,
replace the gasket. If not detachable, you have to replace the door.
