CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time and making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts in order to use in one time.
• Maximum load; if you want to load large quantities and use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the
drawers (Except the bottom one).You can store bulky items directly on the shelves
• For storing the frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully
and if no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing
is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be
returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been
previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, 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 package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• While freezing food ; Maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the
appliance label. For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, turn the thermostat
knob to position "5" / 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer. 24 hours, position "5" would generally
be sufficient after placing fresh food in the freezer. After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.
• Attention; In order to save energy, when freezing small amounts of food, reset the thermostat to the desired
position.

CHAPTER -5: TROUBLESHOOTING

If your 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 thermostat setting is on "•" position ,
• 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 freezer thermostat settings is "1" position (if so set the thermostat dial suitable value)
• The doors are closed perfectly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
If there is noise;
The freezing gas which circulates in the freezer circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the
compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite normal. If these sounds are different check that;
• The appliance is well levelled
• Nothing is touching the rear.
• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.
If your freezer is not cooling enough;
Your freezer is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the
climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your freezer out of stated temperatures
value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is not used for long time (for example during the summer holidays) unplug or set the thermostat
dial to "•" position and clean the appliance and leave the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and
smell.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when the doors are left open)
