3Installation
CPlease remember that the
manufacturer shall not be held liable if
the information given in the instruction
manual is not observed.
Preparation
• 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 than this 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.
• Original packaging and foam
materials should be kept for future
transportations or moving.
Points to be considered
when re-transporting your
refrigerator
1. Your refrigerator must be emptied and
cleaned prior to any transportation.
2. Shelves, accessories, crisper and etc.
in your refrigerator must be fastened
securely by adhesive tape against any
jolt before repackaging.
3. Packaging must be tied with thick
tapes and strong ropes and the rules of
transportation printed on the package
must be followed.
Please remember…
Every recycled material is an indispensable
source for the nature and for our national
resources.
If you wish to contribute to recycling the
packaging materials, you can get further
information from the environmental bodies
or local authorities.
Before operating your
refrigerator
Before starting to use your refrigerator
check the following:
1- Is the interior of the refrigerator dry and
can the air circulate freely in the rear of
it?
2- Clean the interior of the refrigerator as
recommended in the “Maintenance
and cleaning” section.
3- Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet.
When the door is open the respective
interior light will come on.
4- You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. 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. Due to the
operation of fans inside the appliance,
overall noise level is slightly higher
in comparison to non-frost free
appliances. This is quite normal and is
not a fault.
5- Front edges of the refrigerator may
feel warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.

Adjusting the legs
If your refrigerator is unbalanced;
You can balance your refrigerator by
turning the front legs of it as illustrated in
the figure. The corner where the leg exists
is lowered when you turn in the direction
of black arrow and raised when you turn
in the opposite direction. Taking help from
someone to slightly lift the refrigerator will
facilitate this process.
Electrical connection
Connect your refrigerator to a grounded
socket which is being protected by a fuse
with the appropriate capacity.
Important:
• The connection must be in compliance
with national regulations.
• The power cable plug must be easily
accessible after installation.
• Voltage and permitted fuse protection
are indicated in the “Specifications”
section.
• The specified voltage must be equal to
your mains voltage.
• Extension cables and multiway plugs
must not be used for connection.
BA damaged power cable must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
BThe appliance must not be operated
before it is repaired! There is danger of
electric shock!
Initial startup
• When you operate your refrigerator
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the initial
six hours.
- Temperature adjustment button
should not be turned off.
- The door should not be opened
frequently.

4Using your refrigerator
Temperature 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. If the ambient temperature
is higher than 32°C, turn the thermostat
button to maximum position.
Storing the frozen food
• Frozen food can be stored up to 3
months in general in temperatures
under -18°C. Storage periods may vary
depending on the type of the food.
Storage periods of expiry dates of such
food are indicated on the food package
by their manufacturers.
• Frozen food that you have purchased
should be placed in the freezer before
they thaw.
• Frozen food may be kept in the
compartments with drawers.
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.
