HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
Information about The New Generation Cooling
Technology
The New Generation Cooling Technology refrigerators are different from the other static refrigerators in terms of their operational system. In normal fridge freezers, the humidity entering the fridge freezer 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 freezer, 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 refrigerators. 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. Therefore your New Generation Cooling Technology fridge freezer allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance. Control panel Temperature set button Alarm indicator led Temperature indicator super MIN MAX Symbol of Super Cooling Mode This button allows setting temperature of the fridge. In order to set values for fridge partition, press this button. Use this button also to activate Super Cooling mode.
In case of a problem within the fridge, the alarm led will release red light
1.1.2. Super Cooling Mode
When would it be used? • To cooling huge quantities of food. • To cooling fast food. • To cooling food quickly. • To store seasonal food for a long time. How to use? • Press temperature set button until super cooling light comes on. • Super cooling led will light during this mode. • For optimal appliance performance in maximum cooling capacity, set the appliance to active Super Cooling mode 5 hours before you put the fresh food into the fridge. During this mode: If you press temperature set button, the mode will be cancelled and the setting will be restored from MAX. Note: "Super cooling” mode will be automatically cancelled after 5 hours.
1.1.3. Temperature Settings • The initial temperature of the Setting Display is Middle temperature indicator. • Press temperature set button once. • Every time you press the button, the setting temperature will decrease. • If you press temperature set button until super cooling symbol is displayed on your fridge settings display and you do not press any button within the following 3 seconds, Super cooling will blink. • If you keep on pressing, it will restart from last value. It ensures that the temperature settings in the cooling and freezing compartments of your refrigerator are performed automatically. It may be set to any value ranging from MIN to MAX. As you press temperature set button from MIN to MAX, the temperature decreases. To save energy in winter months, operate your refrigerator in a lower position.
⚠ Warnings for Temperature Settings • Do not pass to another adjustment before completing an adjustment. • Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the fridge and ambient temperature of the place of your fridge. • Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. • Do not open doors of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period. • A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes. • Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. Climate class Ambient Temperature (°C) We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness. Between 16 and 43 °C ST Between 16 and 38 °C Between 16 and 32 °C • This appliance is designed for use at an SN Between 10 and 32 °C ambient temperature within the 16°C 43°C range. Accessories Ice tray (In some models) • Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment. • After the water has completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to remove the ice cubes. Bottle holder (In some models) In order to prevent bottles from slipping or falling over, you can use the bottle holder. This will also help to prevent the noise made by bottles when opening or closing the door. Fresh dial (In some models) When the humidity controler in the closed position, it allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored longer. In case of the crisper is totally full, the fresh dial is located in front of crisper, should be opened. By means of this the air in the crisper and humidity rate will be controlled and endurance life will be increased. If you see any condensation on glass shelf, humidity control should be taken into the open positions. Adjustable Door Shelf (In some models) Six different height adjustments can be made to provide storage Fig. 1 areas that you need by adjustable door shelf. To change the position of adjustable door shelf ; Hold the bottom of the shelf and pull the buttons on the side of the door shelf direction of arrow (Fig.1). Position door shelf the height you need by moving up and down. After you get the position that you want the door shelf, release the buttons on the side of the door shelf (Fig.2) Before releasing the door shelf, move up down and make sure the door shelf is fixed. Note: Before moving door shelf is loaded, you must hold the shelf by supporting the bottom. Otherwise, door shelf could fall off the rails due to the weight. So damage may occur on the door shelf or rails. Fig. 2 FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE Refrigerator Compartment • Always make sure food is wrapped or stored in closed containers. • Hot food and drinks should be cooled to room temperature before being placed in the refrigerator. • Please do not store packaged food and cups against the lamp and cover of the cooling compartment. • Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers. Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment. Freezer Compartment • Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing frozen food for a long time and producing ice. • Please place the food you would like to freeze initially in the upper basket of the deep freeze in such a way that it does not exceed the declared freezing capacity of your refrigerator. Please do not place the food to be frozen near the already frozen food. You may place your food next to the other frozen food after it has frozen (for at least 24 hours).

After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plugto the mains supply with dry hands. • Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity. THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED. Defrosting You refrigerator has fully automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporisation container below the condenser and evaporates there. Evaporation container Replacing LED Lighting 1 or 2 led strips in fridge is used to illumianate your appliance. Please call the service man. Note: Numbers and location of led strips may be changed according to the model. !!! Some versions may be without illumination. Upper side LED strip (In some models) Left / Right side LED strip (In some models) TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION Transportation and changing of installation position • The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required. • During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting. • Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie,shelves, crisper...) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent them from getting damaged. • Carry your fridge freezer in the upright position. BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE Alarm indicator led is turning on ERROR TYPE WHY "Failure Warning" There is/are some part(s) Out of order or there is a failure in cooling process WHAT TO DO Check the door is open or not. If the door is not open, call service for assistance as soon as possible. If your fridge freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following, before calling an electrician to save time and money. What to do if your appliance does not operate; Check that; • There is no power, • The general switch in your home is disconnected , • The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which is working into the same socket. What to do if your appliance performs poorly; Check that; • You have not overloaded the appliance, • The fridge temperature set to MAX. • The door is closed perfectly, • There is no dust on the condenser, • There is enough place at the rear and side walls. If your fridge is operating too loudly; Normal Noises Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise: • During automatic defrosting. • When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material). Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off. Compressor noise: Normal motor noise. This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated. Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system. Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting. Air Blow Noise: Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air. If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm; Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal. If humidity builds up inside the fridge freezer; • Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge? • Are the fridge freezeer's doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the door is opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the door more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high. If the doors are not opened and closed properly; • Do the food packages prevent closing of the door? • Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly? • Are door joints broken or torn? • Is your fridge freezer on a level surface? Recommendations • To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when the door is left open) 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 (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate. 2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance. 3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy. 4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste. 5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. 6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc) closed 7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
