THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES PART - 2.

Information on No-Frost technology

No-frost refrigerators dier 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 o the refrigerator,

place the food that needs to be kept cooled in a separately cooled.

The situation is completely dierent 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.

Temperature indicator

In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a

temperature indicator located in the coldest area.

To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make

sure the message “OK” appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does

not appear, this means that the temperature setting has not been done properly.

Since “OK” appears in black, it will be dicult to see this indication if the

temperature indicator is badly lit. To be able to see this indication properly, there

should be enough light.

Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilisation of the

temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary, with a new temperature

setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively and wait

at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.

NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh

food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature

setting indicator. If there is an abnormal ice crystals build up (bottom wall of the appliance)

on the refrigerator compartment evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature,

frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until

compressor o periods are obtained again.

Putting food in the coldest area of the refrigerator

Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most appropriate

cooling area. The coldest area is just above the crisper.

The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your refrigerator.

To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is

located at the level of this symbol, as shown in the illustration.

OK

The upper limit of the coldest area is

indicated by the lower side of the sticker

(head of the arrow). The coldest area upper

shelf must be at the same level with the

arrow head. The coldest area is below this

level.

As these shelves are removable, make

sure they are always at the same level with

these zone limits described on the stickers,

in order to guarantee temperatures in this

area.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE PART - 3.

• Fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) with .

• 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.

NOTE: Most ecient use of energy is ensured in the conguration with the drawers in

the bottom part of the appliance, and shelves evenly distributed, position of door bins

does not aect energy consumption.

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