where the freezer will be installed is
not wide enough for the freezer to
pass through, then carefully remove
the doors of your freezer and pass it
sideways through the door.
1. Install your freezer to a place
that allows ease of use.
2. Keep your freezer away from
heat sources, humid places and direct
sunlight.
3. There must be appropriate
air ventilation around your freezer
in order to achieve an efficient
operation. If the freezer 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 freezer on an even
floor surface to prevent jolts.
5. Your product requires adequate
air circulation to function efficiently.
If the product will be placed in an
alcove, remember to leave at least 5
cm clearance between the product
and the ceiling, rear wall and the side
walls.
6. If the product will be placed
in an alcove, remember to leave at
least 5 cm clearance between the
product and the ceiling, rear wall and
the side walls. Check if the rear wall
clearance protection component is
present at its location (if provided
with the product). If the component
is not available, or if it is lost or fallen,

4Preparation
• For a freestanding appliance;
‘this refrigerating appliance is not
intended to be used as a built-in
appliance’ .
• 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 -15°C.
Operating your refrigerator under
colder conditions than this is not
recommended.
• 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.
• Since hot and humid air will not
directly penetrate into your
product when the doors are not
opened, your product will optimize
itself in conditions sufficient to
protect your food. Functions and
components such as compressor,
fan, heater, defrost, lighting,
display and so on will operate
according to the needs to
consume minimum energy under
these circumstances.

5.1 How to Freeze
Fresh Foods
• Foods to be frozen must be divided
into portions according to a size to
be consumed, and frozen in separate
packages. In this way, all the food
should be prevented from being re-
frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional
value, the aroma and the color of
the foods as much as possible,
vegetables should be boiled for a
short period of time before freezing.
(Boiling is not necessary for foods
such as cucumber, parsley.) Cooking
time of the vegetables frozen in this
way is shortened by 1/3 than that of
the fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of
frozen foods, boiled vegetables
must first be filtered and then
hermetically packaged as in the all
types of foods.
• Foods should not be placed in the
freezer compartment without
package.
• The packaging material of the food
to be stored should be air-tight, thick
and durable and should not deform
with cold and humidity. Otherwise,
the food that is hardened by freezing
might pierce the package. Sealing
the package well is also important in
terms of securely storing the food.
The following packaging types are
suitable for use to freeze the food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil,
plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-
resistant storage containers with
caps.
The use of the following types of
packaging is not recommended to
freeze the food;
Packaging paper, parchment paper,
cellophane (gelatin paper), garbage
bag, used bags and shopping bags.
• Hot foods should not be placed in
the freezer compartment without
cooling.
• When placing unfrozen fresh foods
in the freezer compartment, please
note that it does not contact with
frozen foods. Cool-pack (PCM) can
be placed to the rack immediately
below the quick freezer rack for
preventing them from being getting
warm.
• During the freezing time (24 hours)
do not place other food to the
freezer.
• Place your foods to the freezing
shelves or racks by spreading them
so that they will not be cramped (it
is recommended that the packaging
does not come into contact with
each other).
• Frozen foods must be immediately
consumed in a short period of time
after defrosting and must never be
frozen again.
• Do not block the ventilation holes by
putting your frozen foods in front of
the ventilation holes located on the
back surface.
• We recommend you to attach a label
onto the package and write the
name of the foods in the package
and the freezing time.
Foods suitable for freezing:
Fishandseafood,redandwhitemeat,
poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbaceous

EN
21
spices, dairy products (such as cheese,
butter and strained yoghurt), pastries,
ready or cooked meals, potato dishes,
souffle and desserts.
Foods not suitable for freezing:
Yoghurt, sour milk, cream,
mayonnaise, leaved salad, red radish,
grapes, all fruits (such as apple, pears
and peaches).
• For foods to be frozen quickly and
thoroughly, the following specified
amounts per package should not be
exceeded.
-Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg
-Meat, 1-1.5 kg
• A small amount of foods (maximum
2 kg) can also be frozen without the
use of the quick freezing function.
To obtain the best result, apply the
following instructions:
1. Activate the quick freezing
function 24 hours before placing your
fresh foods.
2. After 24 hours after pressing
the button, first place your food that
you want to freeze to the top shelf
with higher freezing capacity. If you
have food that you have previously
stored, store your fresh foods starting
from the back towards the front.
3. The quick freezing function will
be automatically inactivated after 25
hours.
4. Do not try to freeze a large
quantity of food at a time. Within 24
hours, this product can freeze the
maximum food quantity specified as
«Freezing Capacity … kg/24 hours»
on its type label. It is not convenient
to put more unfrozen/fresh foods to
the freezer compartment than the
quantity specified on the label
• You can review the Meat and
Fish, Vegetables and Fruits, Dairy
Products tables for placing and
storing your foods in the deep-
freezer.
5.2 Recommendations
for Preservation of
Frozen Foods
• While purchasing your frozen foods,
make sure that they are frozen at
appropriate temperatures and their
packages are not broken.
• Put the packages on the freezer
compartment as soon as possible
after purchasing them.
• Make sure that the expiration
date indicated on the packaging
is not expired before consuming
the packaged ready meals that
you remove from the freezer
compartment.
5.3 Defrosting
The ice in the freezer compartments
is automatically thawed.
5.4 Deep Freezer
Information
The EN 62552 standard requires
(according to specific measurement
conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of
food for each 100 liter of freezer
compartment volume can be frozen
at a room temperature of 25°C in 24
hours.
