product.

• Do not leave the doors of your

refrigerator open for a long

time.

• Do not put hot food or drinks in

your refrigerator.

• Do not overload the refrigerator.

Cooling capacity will fall when

the air circulation inside is

hindered.

• Do not place the refrigerator in

places subject to direct sunlight.

Install the product at least 30

cm away from heat sources

such as hobs, ovens, heater

cores and stoves and at least 5

cm away from electrical ovens.

• Pay attention to store your

containers.

• You can load maximum

amount of food to the

freezer compartment of the

refrigerator by removing the

freezer compartment drawers.

Declared energy consumption

value of the refrigerator was

determined with the freezer

compartment drawers

removed,except if available

bottom drawer and with

maximum amount of food

loaded.

• There is no risk in using a

shelf or drawer suitable for the

shapes and sizes of the foods to

be frozen.

• Thawing frozen food in fridge

compartment will both provide

energy saving and preserve the

food quality.

• The baskets/drawers that

are provided with the chill

compartment must always be in

use for low energy consumption

and for better storage

conditions.

• Food contact with the

temperature sensor in the

freezer compartment may

increase energy consumption of

the appliance. Thus any contact

with the sensor(s) must be

avoided.

CThe ambient temperature

of the room where you

install the refrigerator

should at least be

5°C. Operating your

refrigerator under colder

conditions than this is not

recommended.

CInside of your refrigerator

must be cleaned

thoroughly.

CIf two coolers are to be

installed side by side,

there should be at least

4 cm distance between

them.

16

4.2 Initial use

Before starting to use the product,

check that all preparations are

made in accordance with the

instructions in sections "Important

instructions for safety and

environment" and "Installation".

• Clean the interior of the

refrigerator as recommended in

the “Maintenance and cleaning”

section. Check that inside of it is

dry before operating it.

• Plug the refrigerator into the

grounded wall outlet. When

the door is opened the interior

illumination will turn on.

• Run the refrigerator without

putting any food for 6 hours

and do not open its door unless

certainly required.

• Due to temperature change as

a result of opening/closing the

product door during operation,

condensation on the door/body

shelves and the glass containers

is normal.

CYou will hear a noise

when the compressor

starts up. The liquids and

gases sealed within the

refrigeration system may

also give rise to noise,

even if the compressor

is not running and this is

quite normal.

CFront edges of the

refrigerator may feel

warm. This is normal.

These areas are designed

to be warm to avoid

condensation.

CFor energy efficiency, it

is recommmended to

remove top shelf and

load food on the shelf

below.Net volume of your

appliance is declared

without top two flaps and

the top shelf in place.

Place two ice pack ( if

provided ) directly on the

top of frozen food to be

stored on top shelf

CIn some models, the

instrument panel

automatically turns off

5 minutes after the door

has closed. It will be

reactivated when the door

has opened or pressed on

any key.

5. Using your refrigerator

5.1 Setting the operating temperature

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.

Warm Cold

Please choose the setting

according to the desired

temperature.

The interior temperature also

depends on ambient temperature,

the frequency with which the door

is opened and the amount of foods

kept inside.

Frequently opening the door

causes the interior temperature to

rise.

For this reason, it is recommended

to close the door again as soon as

possible after use.

The normal storage temperature

of your appliance should be -18

°C (0 °F). Lower temperatures

can be obtained by adjusting the

thermostat knob towards Position

4 (or Max.).

We recommend checking the

temperature with a thermometer

to ensure that the storage

compartments are kept to the

desired temperature. Remember

to take the reading immediately

since the thermometer

temperature will rise very rapidly

after you remove it from the

freezer.

18

5.2 Freezing

Freezing food

The freezing compartment is

marked with this symbol.

You can use the appliance for

freezing fresh food as well as for

storing pre-frozen food.

Please refer to the

recommendations given on the

packaging of your food.

A Attention

Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the

bottle may burst when the liquid in

it is frozen.

Be careful with frozen products

such as coloured ice-cubes.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity

of your appliance in 24 hours. See

the rating label.

In order to maintain the quality

of the food, the freezing must be

effected as rapidly as possible.

Thus, the freezing capacity will not

be exceeded, and the temperature

inside the freezer will not rise.

A Attention

Keep the already deep-frozen food

always separated with freshly

placed food.

When deep-freezing hot food, the

cooling compressor will work until

the food is completely frozen. This

can temporarily cause excessive

cooling of the refrigeration

compartment.

If you find the freezer door difficult

to open just after you have closed

it, don’t worry. This is due to the

pressure difference which will

equalize and allow the door to

open normally after a few minutes.

You will hear a vacuum sound just

after closing the door. This is quite

normal.

• Frozen food can be stored

up to 3 months in general in

temperatures under -18°C.

Storage periods may vary

depending on the type of the

food. Storage periods of expiry

dates of such food are indicated

on the food package by their

manufacturers.

• Frozen food that you have

purchased should be placed in

the freezer before they thaw.

• Frozen food may be kept in the

compartments with drawers.

• To ensure that the high

quality achieved by the frozen

food manufacturer and the

food retailer is maintained

the following should be

remembered:

1. Put packets in the freezer

as quickly as possible after

purchase.

2. Do not exceed "Use By",

"Best Before" dates on the

packaging.

3. Please note that drawers,

baskets, flaps, trays are all

removable.

5.4 Illumination lamp

To change the Bulb/LED used for

illumination of your refrigerator,

call your AuthorisedService.

The lamp(s) used in this appliance

is not suitable for household room

illumination. The intended purpose

of this lamp is to assist the user to

place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/

freezer in a safe and comfortable

way.

The lamps used in this appliance

have to withstand extreme physical

conditions such as temperatures

below -20 °C.

(only chest and upright freezer)

5.3 Defrost

Increase in the thickness of the

ice that forms on the evaporator of

your refrigerator will decrease the

cooling efficiency of it.

Therefore, you must defrost the

ice when the thickness of the

ice layer around the evaporator

reaches to approximately 5 mm. It

is recommended to defrost the ice

when the refrigerator is not filled

too much or is empty.

Wrap the food in the refrigerator

by a few sheets of paper and keep

them in the coolest place possible

or in another refrigerator.

Turn the thermostat setting button

to “off” or unplug the power cable

in order to perform the defrosting.

Remove the drawers of your

refrigerator (it is not required to

remove the lid of the compartment

equipped with a lid). After some

time, the water that melts will

accumulate in the pool located at

the bottom of your refrigerator.

Remove the accumulating water by

means of a soft sponge or etc. and

dry the pool thoroughly.

Do not forget to turn the

thermostat setting button to a

position other than the “off” in

order to restart your refrigerator.

Operate your refrigerator for 2

hours while it is empty and its

doors are closed before replacing

your food into it.

20

5.5 LED indicators and

control panel

LED indicators in the front section

of your refrigerator are intended

to help you in monitoring the

operation of your appliance.

Keep your food in the refrigerator

in a safe manner by monitoring

and using these LEDs and controls

as explained below:

Fast Freeze Button (1):

Used to freeze the food fastly.

Compressor may not operate

immediately but after some time

when the button is pressed and

this is quite normal.

Thermostat Setting Button (2):

Used to set your refrigerator

between minimum and maximum

The appliance may go to OFF

position when the knob is adjusted

below MIN. When the green

indicator light is OFF, the appliance

is turned OFF also.

Once it is turned OFF (even for

defrosting), please adjust the knob

somewhere above MIN to be sure

that it is turned ON again. When

the appliance is turned ON, the

green indicator will light up.

Orange LED (3):

Lights up when the fast freeze

button on the LED panel is

pressed. In this case, your

refrigerator operates continuously.

Press the button again when the

food you would like to fast freeze

comes to the desired temperature

and the orange LED will turn off.

Green LED (4):

plugging in your refrigerator.

Red LED (5):

It warns you by lighting

up continuously when your

refrigerators start to operates,

if not enough cooling effect is

obtained, when the door remains

open for a long time and when

excessive food is loaded.

If the red LED lights up

continuously when the conditions

stated in the adjacent column do

not exist, then call our Authorized

Service.
