“Turbo cooling fan is designed to
ensure homogenous distribution and
circulation of the cold air inside your
refrigerator. Operation time of the turbo
cooling fan may vary depending on
the properties of your product. While

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

Defrost
Fridge compartment
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.
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order
to prevent decaying of the frozen food.
The freezer compartment defrosts
automatically.

EN
20
Water Dispenser
*optional
The water dispenser is a very useful
feature allowing cold water on tap
without opening the door of your
refrigerator .As you will not have to
open your refrigerator door frequently,
you will have saved energy.
Using the water dispenser
Push the arm of the water dispenser
with your glass. The dispenser will
cease operating once you release the
arm.
When operating the water dispenser,
maximum flow can be obtained by
pressing the arm fully. Please remember
that the amount of flow from the
dispenser is subject to the degree you
press the arm.
As the level of the water in your glass/
container rises, slightly lessen the
pressure on the arm to prevent the
overspill. If you slightly press the arm,
the water will drip; this is quite normal
and not a failure.
Filling the water dispenser's tank
Open the cover of the water tank as
shown in the figure. Fill in the pure and
clean drinking water. Close the cover.
To avoid flowing of water by mistake,
we recommend you to lock the water
dispenser .
Warning!
• Do not fill the water tank with any
other liquid except for water such as
fruit juices, carbonated beverages
or alcoholic drinks which are not
suitable to use in the water dispenser.
Water dispenser will be irreparably
damaged if these kinds of liquids are
used. Warranty does not cover such
usages. Some chemical substances
and additives contained in these
kinds of drinks/liquids may damage
the water tank.
• Use clean and pure drinking water
only.
• Capacity of the water tank is 2.2
Litres (3.8 pints); do not overfill.
