4Using your refrigerator
Thermostat setting button
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;
• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long
periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator
without cooling down to the room
temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in the
room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
• You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons
by using the thermostat. Numbers
around the thermostat button
indicates the cooling degrees.
• If the ambient temperature is higher
than 32°C, turn the thermostat button
to maximum position.
• If the ambient temperature is lower
than 25°C, turn the thermostat button
to minimum position.
Defrost
Fridge compartment performs full-
automatic defrosting. Water drops and
a frosting up to 7-8 mm can occur
on the inner rear wall of the fridge
compartment while your refrigerator
cools down. Such formation is normal
as a result of the cooling system.
The frost formation is defrosted by
performing automatic defrosting
with certain intervals thanks to the
automatic defrosting system of the rear
wall. User is not required to scrape the
frost or remove the water drops.
Water resulting from the defrosting
passes from the water collection
groove and flows into the evaporator
through the drain pipe and evaporates
here by itself.
Check regularly to see if the drain pipe
is clogged or not and clear it with the
stick in the hole when necessary.
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order
to prevent decaying of the frozen food.

EN
14
Frost formation in the freezer
compartment must be defrosted
every 6 months. It is recommended to
defrost the ice when the deep freezer
compartment is not filled too much or
is empty. To do this, wrap the frozen
food by paper and keep them in the
coolest place possible or in another
refrigerator if available.
Stop your refrigerator by means of the
temperature setting button or unplug
the power cord from the outlet.
Place a container filled with hot water
into the freezer compartment with a
smooth pad under it in order to hasten
the defrosting.
Never use items such as candles, oil
lamps or heaters in your refrigerator to
hasten the defrosting.
Defrosting sprays may contain liquids
and gases that can be harmful for your
refrigerator and health. Be careful while
using such materials.
Do not keep the door of your
refrigerator during cleaning.
Remove the water that accumulates
in the lower container of the freezer
compartment with an absorbent cloth
or sponge.
Dry the freezer compartment
completely and return the temperature
setting button to its previous position.
Operate your refrigerator for 2 hours
while it is empty and its doors are
closed before replacing your food into
the deep freezer.

5Cleaning and care
A Never use gasoline, benzene or
similar substances for cleaning
purposes.
BWe recommend that you unplug the
appliance before cleaning.
CNever use any sharp abrasive
instrument, soap, household
cleaner, detergent and wax polish for
cleaning.
C Use lukewarm water to clean the
cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it
dry.
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 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.
CMaterials that may cause odor
are not used in the production of
our refrigerators. However, due
to inappropriate food preserving
conditions and not cleaning the inner
surface of the refrigerator as required
can bring forth the problem of odor.
Points to be taken into consideration to
prevent this problem are as follows:
C Keeping the products clean is
important. For this, refrigerators must
be cleaned with carbonated water in
every 15 days. (Detergents and soap
must never be used.) Food residuals,
stains, etc. can cause odor.
CFoods must be kept in closed
containers. Microorganisms
spreading out from uncovered
containers can cause unpleasant
odors.
C Foods that have expired best before
dates and spoiled foods should never
be kept in the refrigerator.
Depending on the usage condition, you
may apply the following in case of
odor formation in your refrigerator.
CTea is one of the best deodorants.
Open hydroxyl (OH) ends of Catechin
substance molecules in the tea hold
the odor creating volatile organics to
remove unpleasant odors.
CPut the pulp of the tea you prepared
in your refrigerator in an uncovered
container and keep it there for
maximum 12 hours. If you leave it
in the refrigerator for more than 12
hours, it may become the source
of the odor as it will collect the
microorganisms that cause the odor;
therefore, it must be thrown away.
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.
