Ice may cause frost burns and/or cuts. • Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands.
• Before using your fridge freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate. Then, rinse with clean water and dry. Return all parts to the fridge freezer after cleaning. If your refrigerator includes a fan condenser The condenser of your fridge is placed at the bottom of cabinet.
Part - 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES Information about New Generation Cooling Technology Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a different 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.
Display and Control Panel 3 5 6 1 7 4 2 Using the Control Panel 1. Enables the setting of the freezer. 2. Enables the setting of the cooler. 3. Freezer set value screen. 4. Cooler set value screen. 5. Economy mode symbol. 6. Super freeze symbol. 7. Alarm symbol.
Super Freeze Mode Purpose • To freeze a large quantity of food that cannot fit on the fast freeze shelf. • To freeze prepared foods. • To freeze fresh food quickly to retain freshness. How to use To enable the super freeze mode, press and hold the freezer temperature setting button for 3 seconds. Once the super freeze mode has been set, the super freeze symbol on the indicator will be lit and the machine will beep to confirm the mode has been switched on.
Warnings about Temperature Adjustments • Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge. • This fridge is designed to work in all ambient temperature. In the ambient temperatures colder than -5 oC, preserving food in the refrigerator compartment isn’t suggested because the foods that you put into refrigerator compartment, will have a temperature close to ambient temperature. Consequently, they will freeze.
Accessories The Icematic (In some models) • Pull the lever towards you and remove the ice maker tray • Fill with water to the marked level • Hold the left end of the lever and set the ice-tray on the icebox • When ice cubes have formed, twist the lever to drop the ice cubes into the icebox. Note: Do not fill the icebox with water in order to make ice. It can be broken. The movement of the ice maker may be difficult while the refrigerator is running.
The Fresh Dial (In some models) If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located in front of the crisper should be opened. This allows the air in the crisper and the humidity rate to be controlled, to increase the life of food within. Fresh dial The dial, located behind the shelf, must be opened if any condensation is seen on the glass shelf. Adjustable Door Shelf (In some models) Six different height adjustments can be made to provide storage areas that you need by adjustable door shelf.
Part - 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE Refrigerator Compartment It is sufficient to set the fridge thermostat to position ‘2’ or ‘3’ for normal operatingconditions. • 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are kept in the fridge. Place them in the fridge when they are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge will increases, reducing the fridge’s efficiency. Covering food and drink also preserves their flavour and aroma.
• 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.
• 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. The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer compartment.
Vegetables and Fruits Maximum storage time Preparation (months) Cabbage Clean and boil in water Carrot Clean, cut into slices and boil in water Pepper Cut the stem, cut into two pieces, remove the core and boil in water 8 - 10 Spinach Wash and boil in water 6-9 Cauliflower Remove the leaves, cut the heart into pieces and leave it in water with a little lemon juice for a while 10 - 12 Eggplant Cut into pieces of 2cm after washing 10 - 12 Corn Clean and pack with its stem or as sweet corn
Part - 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 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 finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands. • Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.

Freezer compartment LED strip light To replace any of the LEDs, please contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre. Note: The numbers and location of the LED strips may change according to the model. Some versions may not include freezer illumination. Fridge compartment LED strip light Part - 5.
Part - 6. BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE Errors Your fridge will warn you if the temperatures for the cooler and freezer are at improper levels or if a problem occurs with the appliance. Warning codes are displayed in the freezer and cooler indicators. ERROR TYPE MEANING WHY WHAT TO DO E01 Sensor warning Call Service for assistance as soon as possible. E02 Sensor warning Call Service for assistance as soon as possible. E03 Sensor warning Call Service for assistance as soon as possible.
ERROR TYPE E10 E11 MEANING Fridge compartment is not cold enough WHY WHAT TO DO Likely to occur after: --Long term power failure. --Hot food has been left in the fridge. 1. Set the fridge temperature to a colder value or set Super Cool. This should remove the error code once the required temperature has been reached. Keep doors closed to improve time taken to reach the correct temperature. 2.
Clicking noise occurs: When the thermostat switches the compressor on/off. Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated. Bubbling noise and splashing occurs: Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system. Water flowing noise occurs: Due to water flowing to the evaporation container. This noise is normal during defrosting.
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.
