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

Setting the operating temperature
The operating temperature is regulated
by the temperature control.
Warm Cold

(Or) Min. Max.
1 = Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting)
5 = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
(Or)
Min. = Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting)
Max. = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
The average temperature inside the
fridge should be around +5°C.
Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
Please note that there will be different
temperatures in the cooling area.
The coldest region is immediately
above the vegetable compartment.
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.
Using interior compartments
Movable shelves: Distance between
the shelves can be adjusted when
necessary.
Vegetable drawer: Vegetables and
fruits can be stored in this compartment
for long periods without decaying.
Bottle shelf: Bottles, jars and tins can
be placed in these shelves.
Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the
short-term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
Store milk products in the intended
compartment in the refrigerator.
Bottles can be stored in the bottle
holder or in the bottle shelf of the door.
Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene
bag in the compartment at the very
bottom of the refrigerator.
Allow hot foods and beverages to cool
to room temperature prior to placing
them in the refrigerator.
• AttentionStore concentrated alcohol only
standing upright and tightly closed.
• AttentionDo not store explosive substances or
containers with flammable propellant
gases (canned cream, spray cans
etc.) in the device. There is a danger of
explosion.

EN
17
Defrost
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The thawing water
flows through the drain channel into a
collection container at the rear of the
device.
During defrosting, water droplets form
at the back of the fridge due to the
evaporator.
If not all of the drops run down,
they may freeze again after defrosting
remove them with a cloth soaked in
warm water, but never with a hard or
sharp object.

EN

6Maintenance and cleaning
ANever use gasoline, benzene or similar
substances for cleaning purposes.
BWe recommend that you unplug the
appliance before cleaning.
BNever use any sharp abrasive
instrument, soap, household cleaner,
detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
CUse lukewarm water to clean the
cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it
dry.
CUse 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 it
dry.
BMake sure that no water enters the
lamp housing and other electrical
items.
BIf 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.
CCheck door seals regularly to ensure
they are clean and free from food
particles.
ATo remove door racks, remove all the
contents and then simply push the
door rack upwards from the base.
ANever 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.
