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.
