CHAPTER -1: GENERAL WARNINGS
Before Using your Fridge
• Before setting up your fridge freezer, check for any visible damage. Do not install or use your fridge freezer
if it is damaged
• When using your fridge freezer for the first time, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before
plugging into the mains. This will allow efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• You may notice a light odour when using your fridge freezer for the first time. This is perfectly normal and
will fade away as the fridge starts to cool.
Information about new-generation cooling technology
Fridge freezers with new-generation cooling technology have a different working system than
static fridge freezers. In normal fridge freezers, humid air entering the freezer and the water
vapour emanating from the foods, turns into frost in the freezer compartment. In order to melt
this frost, in other words defrost, the fridge has to be unplugged. In order to keep foods cold
during the defrosting period, the user must store the food elsewhere and the user must clear
the remaining ice and accumulated frost.
The situation is completely different in freezer compartments equipped with new-generation
cooling technology. With the aid of fan, cold and dry air is blown throughout the freezer
compartment. As a result of the cold air that is blown easily throughout the compartment –
even in the spaces between shelves – foods are frozen equally and properly. And there will
be no frost.
The configuration in the refrigerator compartment will be nearly same as the freezer
compartment. Air emitted by the fan located at the top of refrigerator compartment is cooled
while passing through the gap behind the air duct. At the same time, air is blown out through
the holes on the air duct so that cooling process is successfully completed in the refrigerator
compartment. Holes on the air duct are designed for even air distribution throughout the
compartment.
Since no air passes between the freezer and refrigerator compartment, odours will not mix.
As a result, your fridge with new-generation cooling technology is easy to use and it offers you
an access to a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.
