Important installation instructions This appliance is designed to work in difficult climate conditions (up to 43 degrees C or 110 degrees F) and is powered with ‘Freezer Shield’ technology which ensures that the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So you may then install your appliance in an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt.

The Chiller Shelf (In some models) Chiller shelf Keeping food in the Chiller compartment, instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartments, allows food to retain freshness and flavour for longer, while preserving its fresh appearance. When the Chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash with water. (Water freezes at 0°C, but food containing salt or sugar freezes at temperatures lower than this).

• 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 Your refrigerator performs automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporisation container behind your refrigerator and evaporates there.
PART 5: ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE Refrigerator compartment • For normal operating conditions, adjusting the temperature value of the cooler partition of the fridge to 4°C will be enough. • To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time 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. •...
Freezer compartment • Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing the frozen food for a long time and for producing ice. • To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for upper and middle section. For bottom section, please use lower basket. • Please do not place the food you shall newly freeze nearby the already frozen food. • You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.) by dividing them into portions in such a way that they can be consumed once. • Please do not refreeze the frozen food once they are thawed. It may pose a danger for your health since it might cause problems such as food poisoning. • Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You would cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze to become putrefied.

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. • 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.
PART 8: TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY 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. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment.
