3 USING THE APPLIANCE

3.1 Information about New Generation

Cooling Technology

Fridges with new-generation cooling

technology have a dierent operating

system to static fridges. Other (static)

fridges may experience a build up of ice

in the freezer compartment due to door

openings and humidity in the food. In such

fridges, regular defrosting is required; the

fridge must be switched o, the frozen

food moved to a suitable container and

the ice which has formed in the freezer

compartment removed.

In fridges with new-generation cooling

technology, a fan blows dry cold air

evenly throughout the fridge and freezer

compartments. The cold air cools your food

evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity

and ice build-up.

In the refrigerator compartment, air

blown by the fan, located at the top of

the refrigerator compartment, is cooled

while passing through the gap behind

the air duct. At the same time, the air is

blown out through the holes in the air duct,

evenly spreading cool air throughout the

refrigerator compartment.

There is no air passage between the

freezer and refrigerator compartments,

therefore preventing the mixing of odours.

As a result, your fridge, with new-

generation cooling technology, provides

you with ease of use as well as a huge

volume and aesthetic appearance.

4 FOOD STORAGE

4.1 Refrigerator Compartment

For normal operating conditions, set

the temperature of the refrigerator

compartment to +4 or +6 oC.

• 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.

• Cooked dishes must remain covered

when they are kept in the fridge.Do

not place warm foods in fridge.Place

them when they are cool, otherwise the

temperature/humidity inside the fridge will

increases, reducing the fridge’s eciency.

• 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.

• 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.).

EN - 18

• 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.

• 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.

Do not allow food to come into contact with

the temperature sensor, which is located

in the refrigerator compartment, in order

to keep the refrigerator compartment at

optimum temperature.

• 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 stored in the

"chiller" compartment while fruit and

vegetables should be stored in the

crispers.

• 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.

The table below is a quick guide to show

you the most ecient way to store the

major food groups in your refrigerator

compartment.

4.2 Freezer Compartment

For normal operating conditions, set the

temperature of the freezer compartment to

-18 or -20 oC.

• The freezer is used for storing frozen

food, freezing fresh food, and making ice

cubes.

• Food in liquid form should be frozen

in plastic cups and other food should

be frozen in plastic folios or bags.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.

EN - 19

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• The freezer volume stated on the label is

the volume without baskets, covers, and

so on.

• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may

pose a danger to your health and cause

problems such as food poisoning.

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.

• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze

home cooking (and any other food

which needs to be frozen quickly) more

quickly because of the freezing shelf’s

greater freezing power. Fast freezing

shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer

compartment.

• To use the maximum capacity of the

freezer compartment, use the glass

shelves for the upper and middle section,

and use the lower basket for the bottom

section.

The table below is a quick guide to

show you the most ecient way to

store the major food groups in your freezer

compartment.
