USING THE APPLIANCE

PART 3: USING THE APPLIANCE

  • 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.
  • In such fridges, regular defrosting is required; the fridge must be switched off, the frozen food moved to a suitable container and the ice that has formed in the freezer compartment removed.
  • In fridges with new generation cooling technology, a fan blows dry cold air evenly throughout the fridge and freezer compartments.
  • The cold air cools your food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity and ice build-up.
  • In the refrigerator compartment, air blown by the fan, located at the top of the refrigerator compartment, is cooled while passing through the gap behind the air duct.
  • At the same time, the air is blown out through the holes in the air duct, evenly spreading cool air throughout the refrigerator compartment.
  • There is no air passage between the freezer and refrigerator compartments, therefore preventing the mixing of odours.
  • As a result, your fridge, with new generation cooling technology, provides you with ease of use as well as a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.

Temperature Adjustment Warnings

  • It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10 °C in terms of its efficiency.
  • Do not start another adjustment while you are already making an adjustment.
  • Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the fridge and the ambient temperature in the location of your fridge.
  • In order to allow your fridge to reach the operating temperature after being connected to mains, do not open the doors frequently or place large quantities of food in the fridge. Please note that, depending on the ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your fridge to reach the operating temperature.
  • A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
  • Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C – 43°C) intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class displayed on the information label. We do not recommend operating your appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.

Acronym for ambient temperature range, ie SN, N, ST or T, in determining climate classes:

  1. the extended temperate zone (SN) has a temperature range of 10 °C to 32 °C;
  2. the temperate zone (N) has a temperature range of 16 °C to 32 °C;
  3. the subtropical zone (ST) has a temperature range from 16 °C to 38 °C,
  4. The tropical zone T has a temperature range of 16 °C to 43 °C.

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.

  • Six different height adjustments can be made to provide storage areas that you need with adjustable door shelves. To change the position of the adjustable door shelf ;
  • Hold the bottom of the shelf and pull the buttons on the side of the door shelf direction of the arrow (Fig. 1).
  • Position the door shelf to the height you need by moving it up and down. After you get the position that you want the door shelf, release the buttons on the side of the door shelf (Fig. 2) Before releasing the door shelf, move up and down and make sure the door shelf is fixed.

Note:

  • Before moving the door shelf, you must hold the shelf by supporting the bottom. Otherwise, the door shelf could fall off the rails due to the weight. So damage may occur on the door shelf or rails.PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (17)

Adjustable Glass Shelf (In some models)
Adjustable glass shelf mechanism provides higher storage spaces with a simple movement. To cover the glass shelf, push it.

 

PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (18)You can load your food as you want in the resulting extra space. To bring the shelf in its original position, pull it toward you.

Natural Ion Tech (In some models)

  • Natural Ion Tech spreads negative ions which neutralize particles of unpleasant smell and dust in the air.
  • By removing these particles from the air in the refrigerator, Natural Ion Tech improves air quality and eliminates odours.PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (19)
  • This feature is optional. It may not exist on your product.
  • The location of your ioniser device may vary from product to product.

Maxi-fresh preserver (In some models)

  • Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (22)
  • Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (23)
  • Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
  • The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (24)
  • Clean the accessories separately with soap and water Do not clean them in the dishwasher.PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (25)
  • Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (26)
  • Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity.PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (27)

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.
  • Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your refrigerator before cleaning the vaporisation container.
  • Remove the vaporisation container from its position by removing the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy water at specific time intervals. This will prevent odours from forming.PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (28)

Replacing LED Lighting
If your refrigerator has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.

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.
  • Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
  • Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment(that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storing conditions.
  • You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
  • Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.
Food Maximum Storing time Where to place in the fridge department
Vegetables and fruits 1 week Vegetable bin
Meat and fish 2-3 Days Wrapped in plastic foil or bags or a meat container (on the glass shelf)
Fresh cheese 3-4 Days In special door shelf
Butter and margarine 1 week In special door shelf
Bottled products milk and yoghurt Until the expiry date recommended by the producer In special door shelf
Eggs 1 month In the egg shelf
Cooked food   All shelves

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

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 the freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for the upper and middle sections. For the bottom section, please use a lower basket.
  • Please do not place the food you shall newly freeze near 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 to 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.
  • When you buy frozen food, make sure that they were frozen under appropriate conditions and the package is not torn.
  • While storing the frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there is no explanation, the food must be consumed within the shortest time possible.
  • If there had been humidification in the frozen food package and it had a foul smell, the food might have been stored under unsuitable conditions previously and gone rotten. Do not purchase this type of food!
  • The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the ambient temperature, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food type and the time elapsed from the purchase time of the food to the time it is placed into the freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the package and never exceed the indicated storage duration.
  • During long-lasting power failures, please do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. During longer power failures, do not refreeze your food and consume it as soon as possible.
  • Not that; if you want to open it again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not be opened easily. It’s quite normal! After reaching equilibrium conditions, the door will be opened easily.

Important note:

  • Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after being thawed they must NEVER be refrozen.
  • The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore, the frozen food should add a small amount of spices or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
  • The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
  • The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.
  • Some recommendations have been specified on pages 29,30 and 31 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION

PART 6: TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION

Transportation and Changing of Installation Position

  • The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.
  • During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.
  • Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie, shelves, crisper…) should be taken out or fixed with bands to prevent them from getting damaged.PHILCO-PCD-3602-Electronic-No-Frost-Combi-Refrigerator-fig-1 (29)

Repositioning the door

  • It is not possible to change the opening direction of your refrigerator door, if the door handle on your refrigerator is installed from the front surface of the door.
  • It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without any handles.
  • If the door opening direction of your refrigerator may be changed, you should contact the nearest Authorised Service Agent to have the opening direction changed.

PART 7: BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

–     The voltage needs to be increased back to required levels.

If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted.

E09 Freezer compartment is not cold enough. Likely to occur after long term power failure. 1.   Set the freezer temperature to a colder value or set Super Freeze. 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.   Remove any products which have thawed/ defrosted during this error. They can be used within a short period of time.

3.   Do not add any fresh produce to the freezer compartment until the correct temperature has been reached and the error is no longer.

If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted.

E10 Fridge compartment is not cold enough. 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.   Please empty the location at the front area of air duct channel holes and avoid putting food close to the sensor.

If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted.

E11 Fridge compartment is too cold. Various 1.   Check is Super Cool mode is activated.

2.   Reduce the fridge compartment temperature.

3.   Check to see if vents are clear and not clogged.

If this warning continues an authorised technician needs to be contacted.

If you are experiencing a problem with your refrigerator, please check the following before contacting the after-sales service.
Your refrigerator does not operate Check if:

  • Your fridge is plugged in and switched on.
  • The fuse has blown.
  • Is the temperature adjustment right?
  • The socket is faulty. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket.

Your refrigerator is performing poorly Check if:

  • The appliance is overloaded.
  • The doors are closed properly.
  • There is no dust on the condenser.
  • There is an adequate distance between the appliance and the surrounding walls.

Your refrigerator is operating noisily

  • The following noises can be heard during the normal operation of the appliance.

Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:

  • During automatic defrosting.
  • When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

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.

Air-blowing noise occurs:

  • During normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

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. The 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:

  • Food or packaging is 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 the operation of the compressor. This is normal.

Important Notes:

  • In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged in again, the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator will destabilise, causing the compressor’s protective thermal element to open. Your refrigerator will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
  • If the appliance will not be used for a long period (such as during holidays), disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odour.
  • If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
  • This appliance is designed for domestic use and the stated purposes only.
  • It is not suitable for commercial or common use.
  • If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with these instructions, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair or failure within the guarantee period.

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

PART 8: 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 (radiator, cooker., etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
  2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
  3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.
  4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
  5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
  6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller …etc) closed
  7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.

Storage instructions

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions

  • Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
  • Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
  • Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
  • Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice cream and making ice cubes.
  • One-, two- and three-star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.

  • Note: Please store different foods according to the compartments or target storage temperature of your purchased products.
  • If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould from developing within the appliance.

Placement of food in the appliance

  • Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator/freezer.
  • Under normal circumstances, the temperature setting in the refrigerator is sufficient to + 4 ° C.
  • The temperature of the refrigerator should be between 0 ° C and 80 C. Fresh foods stored below 0 ° C freeze, and rot. The bacterial load increases when stored above 8 ° C and food spoils.
  • Do not put warm or hot food in the fridge/freezer, wait for it to cool to room temperature. Hot food raises the temperature inside the refrigerator/freezer and can cause unnecessary spoilage and possible food poisoning.
  • Meat, fish, etc. should be stored in a designated refrigerated compartment – if available.
  • Fruits and vegetables should be stored in a designated refrigerated compartment – if available.
  • To prevent contamination of meat products with bacteria, do not store fruits and vegetables in a common compartment. The same is true in reverse – contamination of fruits and vegetables with bacteria from meat products.
