“Maintenance and cleaning” section.
3. Connect the plug of the
refrigerator to the wall socket. When
the fridge door is opened, fridge
internal lamp will turn on.
4. When the compressor starts to
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.

• 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

5Using your refrigerator
Amber Indicator (1)
Illuminates when the fast-freeze
switch (4) is turned on and stays
on for maximum 32 hours or until
the fast freeze button is turned off.
Fast-freeze operation is for freezing
fresh food (see Freezing Fresh Food
section).
Green Indicator (2)
Illuminates when the appliance is
connected to the mains and will glow
as long as there is electricity present.
The green indicator does not give any
indication of the temperature inside
the freezer.
Red Indicator (3)
Illuminates
a. When the internal temperature
rises above -5 °C. (The light turns off
when the temperature cools down to
- 9 °C)
b. If the appliance is overloaded with
fresh food.
c. If the appliance door is left open
accidentally.
Note: Red indicator light has a built-
in delay.
Once the appliance is energized red
indicator light will not illuminate for
24 hours.
Thermostat knob (5)
The thermostat knob is located on
the indicator light frame.
Important:
When you press the fast-freeze
switch or adjust the set temperature,
there may be a short delay before the
compressor starts to operate. This is
normal and not a compressor fault.
E0 blinks on display if there is a
freezer sensor failure.

Setting the operating
temperature
The operating temperature is
regulated by the temperature control.
1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest
setting)
4 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest
setting)
(Or)
Min. = Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting)
Max. = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
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 food 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). If the thermostat knob is turned
counter clockwise from position
1, the appliance will be switched
off and “click” sound will be heard.
Lower temperatures can be obtained
by adjusting the thermostat knob
towards Position 4.
We recommend checking the
temperature with a thermometer to
ensurethatthestoragecompartments
are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember at take the reading
immediately since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after
you remove it from the freezer.
Freezing food
The freezing area is marked with
symbol on the door liner.
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.

EN
15
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.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with
water and place it in the freezer.
As soon as the water has turned into
ice, you can take out the ice cubes.
Never use sharp objects such as
knives or forks to remove the ice
cubes. There is a risk of injury!
Let the ice cubes slightly thaw
instead, or put the bottom of the tray
in hot water for a short moment.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are
going to be frozen, push the fast
freeze switch 24 hours before putting
the fresh food in the fast freeze
compartment.
It is strongly recommended to keep
fast freeze switch on 24 hours to
freeze maximum amount of fresh food
declared as freezing capacity. Take
special care not to mix frozen food and
fresh food.
Defrosting of the appliance
Excessive build-up of ice will affect
the freezing performance of your
appliance.
It is therefore recommended that you
defrost your appliance at least twice
a year, or whenever the ice build-up
exceeds 7 mm.
Defrost your appliance when there is
only little or no food in it.
Take out the deep-frozen food from
the drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen
food in several layers of paper, or a
blanket, and keep it in a cold place.
Unplug the appliance or switch
off the circuit breaker to start the
defrosting process.
Take out the accessories (like shelf,
drawer etc.) from the appliance and
use a suitable container to collect the
thawing water.

EN
16
Use a sponge or a soft cloth to
remove thawing water if necessary
Keep the door open during
defrosting.
For quicker defrosting, place
containers with warm water inside
the appliance.
Never use electrical devices,
defrosting sprays or pointed or sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks
to remove the ice.
After the defrosting is done, clean
the inside (see the section ‘Cleaning
and care’).
Reconnect the appliance to the
mains. Place the frozen food into the
drawers and slide the drawers into the
freezer.

EN

6Maintenance and cleaning
A Never use gasoline, benzene or
similar substances for cleaning
purposes.
B We recommend that you unplug the
appliance before cleaning.
B Never use any sharp abrasive
instrument, soap, household
cleaner, detergent and wax polish
for cleaning.
B For non-No Frost products,
water drops and frosting up to a
fingerbreadth occur on the rear wall
of the Fridge compartment. Do not
clean it; never apply oil or similar
agents on it.
B Only use slightly damp microfiber
cloths to clean the outer surface
of the product. Sponges and other
types of cleaning cloths may scratch
the surface.
C Use lukewarm water to clean the
cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe
itdry.
C Use a damp cloth wrung out in
a solution of one teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to one pint of
water to clean the interior and wipe
itdry.
B Make sure that no water enters the
lamp housing and other electrical
items.
B If your refrigerator is not going to
be used for a long period of time,
unplug the power cable, remove all
food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
C Check door seals regularly to ensure
they are clean and free from food
particles.
A To remove door racks, remove all the
contents and then simply push the
door rack upwards from the base.
A Never use cleaning agents or water
that contain chlorine to clean the
outer surfaces and chromium coated
parts of the product. Chlorine causes
corrosion on such metal surfaces.
A Do not use sharp, abrasive tools,
soap, household cleaning agents,
detergents, kerosene, fuel oil,
varnish etc. to prevent removal and
deformation of the prints on the
plastic part. Use lukewarm water
and a soft cloth for cleaning and
then wipe it dry.
Protection of plastic
surfaces
CDo not put the liquid oils or oil-
cooked meals in your refrigerator
in unsealed containers as they
damage the plastic surfaces of your
refrigerator. In case of spilling or
smearing oil on the plastic surfaces,
clean and rinse the relevant part
of the surface at once with warm
water.
