5Use of the Product
5.1. Temperature adjustment knob
The internal temperature of your refrigerator will vary
due to the following reasons:
• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequently opening the door and the door
remaining open for a long time,
• Dishes put hot in your refrigerator before
cooling down to room temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in the room
(such as exposure to the sun’s heat).
• You can adjust the internal temperature which
varies due to these reasons by the adjustment
knob.
The numbers around the adjustment knob shows the
degree of temperature as “°C”.
If the ambient temperature is 25 °C, it is
recommended to use the temperature adjustment
knob of the refrigerator at 4 °C.
In other ambient temperatures, this value can be
increased or decreased according to need.
5.2. Fast freezing
If you want to freeze large quantities of fresh food,
put the temperature adjustment knob to ( )
position 24 hours before putting the food in the fast
freezing compartment.

5.4. Snow defrosting
During the cooling of your refrigerator, water
droplets and snow up to 7-8 mm thickness are
formed on the inside back wall of the fridge
compartment. This formation is normal due to
the cooling system.
The snow formed in the fridge compartment
is defrosted at regular intervals by means of
the automatic defrost system contained in the
interior rear wall. Therefore, there is no need of
scraping snow and cleaning water droplets by
the user.
The water formed by defrosting flows to the
evaporating dish on the rear of your refrigerator
and spontaneously evaporates here.
The water flows to the evaporating dish via a
drain pipe contained in the inner back wall.
Check whether the drain pipe is blocked at
specific time intervals and if blocked, open.
CTo avoid deterioration of the frozen
food in the freezer compartment, no
defrosting is performed automatically.
The snow formed in the freezer
compartment should be defrosted
every 6 months.
For snow defrosting process, it is primarily
necessary to stop the operation of your
refrigerator. To do this, unplug the power plug.
Empty the freezer compartment. Keep your
frozen food in a cool place during the snow
defrosting process.
The door of the freezer compartment should be
kept closed during the defrosting process.
