operate, a sound will be heard. The
liquid 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.
5. Front edges of the refrigerator
may feel warm. This is normal. These
areas are designed to be warm to
avoid condensation.

The packing of your refrigerator is
produced from recyclable materials.
Disposing of your old
refrigerator
Dispose of your old refrigerator
without giving any harm to the
environment.
 You may consult your authorized
dealer or waste collection center of
your municipality about the disposal
of your refrigerator.
Before disposing of your refrigerator,
cut out the electric plug and, if there
are any locks on the door, make them
inoperable in order to protect children
against any danger.
Placing and Installation
AIf the entrance door of the
room where the refrigerator will be
installed is not wide enough for the
refrigerator to pass through, then call
the authorized service to have them
remove the doors of your refrigerator
and pass it sideways through the door.
1. Install your refrigerator to a
place that allows ease of use.
2. Keep your refrigerator away
from heat sources, humid places and
direct sunlight.
3. There must be appropriate air
ventilation around your refrigerator
in order to achieve an efficient
operation. If the refrigerator is to be
placed in a recess in the wall, there
must be at least 5 cm distance with
the ceiling and at least 5 cm with the
wall. Do not place your product on the
materials such as rug or carpet.
4. Place your refrigerator on an
even floor surface to prevent jolts.

4Preparation
 Your refrigerator should be installed
at least 30 cm away from heat
sources such as hobs, ovens, central
heater and stoves and at least 5
cm away from electrical ovens and
should not be located under direct
sunlight.
 The ambient temperature of
the room where you install your
refrigerator should at least be
10°C. Operating your refrigerator
under cooler conditions is not
recommended with regard to its
efficiency.
 Please make sure that the interior
of your refrigerator is cleaned
thoroughly.
 If two refrigerators are to be
installed side by side, there should
be at least 2 cm distance between
them.
 When you operate your refrigerator
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the
initial six hours.
 The door should not be opened
frequently.
 It must be operated empty without
any food in it.
 Do not unplug your refrigerator. If
a power failure occurs out of your
control, please see the warnings in
the “Recommended solutions for
the problems” section.
 Original packaging and foam
materials should be kept for future
transportations or moving.
 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.
 In 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.
 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

5Using your refrigerator
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
ensurethatthestoragecompartments
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.
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.
AAttention
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.
AAttention
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.

EN
18
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.

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.
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.
Check regularly to see if the drain
pipe is clogged or not and clear it with
the stick in the hole when necessary.
