closed. This will prevent food products from
defrosting. Any heavy ice and frost build-up
inside the freezer, and an unnecessary increase in energy consumption, will be avoided.
“Door Open” Indicator
Temperature Settings Warnings
• The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door
is opened affects the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If required, change
the temperature setting.
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in
terms of its efciency.
• When setting the thermostat, take into consideration how often the appliance doors are
opened and closed, how much food is stored in the refrigerator, and the environment in
which the refrigerator is located.
• When the appliance is rst switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to reach
operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large
quantity of food inside.
• Unplug your appliance during a power cut to prevent damage to the compressor. Once
power is restored, delay plugging in your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes. This will help
prevent damage to the appliance's components.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in

Ice Tray
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely frozen, you can twist the tray as shown below to remove
the ice cubes.
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 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.
• 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.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
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.
Food Maximum storage time How and where to store
Vegetables and fruits 1 week Vegetable bin
Meat and sh 2 - 3 Days Wrap in plastic foil, bags, or in a meat
container and store on the glass shelf

EN - 12 -
Food Maximum storage time How and where to store
Fresh cheese 3 - 4 Days On the designated door shelf
Butter and margarine 1 week On the designated door shelf
Bottled products e.g. milk and
yoghurt
Until the expiry date
recommended by the
producer
On the designated door shelf
Eggs 1 month On the designated egg shelf
Cooked food 2 Days All shelves
Freezer Compartment
• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should
be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and
plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on food packaging when storing frozen
food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months
from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer
as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal
swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the
contents have deteriorated.
• 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 home. Always follow the instructions printed
on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on
the appliance label.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is in
contact with the cooling surface.
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.
Important note:
• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar,
assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.)
changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time.

EN - 13 -
Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should
be added after the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine,
calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in
plastic folios or bags.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCEPART - 4.
Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it.
Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps for cleaning the
appliance. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you
have nished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.

EN - 15 -
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned regularly using a solution of bicarbonate
of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water.
Do not wash accessories in a dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year. This will help
you to save on energy costs and increase productivity.
The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning.
Defrosting
Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment
• 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.
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment
Frost accumulated in the freezer compartment should be removed regularly (using the
plastic scraper provided). The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the same way as
the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost function, at least twice a year.
For this:
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze food completely.
• During defrosting, frozen food should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in
a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten its storage life. Remember
to use this food within a relatively short period of time.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains. Leave the door open until the unit is completely
defrosted.

EN - 16 -
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the
freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to the MAX position.

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.
• There is a build-up of water droplets on the rear wall. This is normal after automatic
defrosting (in Static Models).
The doors are 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.
The edges of the fridge in contact with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm weather), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may
become warmer during operation of the compressor. This is normal.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched off 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. Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen
food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will save
energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of energy.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (such as the crisper and
chiller) closed.
7. 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.
8. It is possible to store more food by removing freezer shelf. Energy consumption is
declared with maximum load and without freezer shelf.
