5Using your refrigerator
Thermostat setting button Defrost
Fridge compartment performs full-
automatic defrosting. 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.
• 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.
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.

EN
14
• Stop your refrigerator by means of the
temperature setting button or unplug
the power cord from the outlet. You
can place a container filled with hot
water into the freezer compartment
or leave the door of the freezer
compartment open in order to hasten
the defrosting.
• 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.
Using the rotary crisper (in
some models)
The crisper of your refrigerator which
opens with a rotating movement is
designed specially to provide ease of
usage and allow you to store more
vegetables and fruits (large volume)
you buy during large shopping.
When you grab and pull the handle
on the lower left hand side of the
crisper, it will rotate from left to right
and open easily. The separator in the
crisper will allow you to separate the
vegetables and fruits according to their
types and prevent them from crushing.
Stopping your product
If your thermostat is equipped with “0”
position:
- Your product will stop operating
when you turn the thermostat button
to “0” (zero) position. Your product
will not start unless to you turn the
thermostat button to position “1” or
one of the other positions again.
If your thermostat is equipped with
“min” position:
- Unplug your product to stop it.
Making ice
Fill the ice container with water and
place it into its seat. Your ice will be
ready approximately in two hours.
You can easily remove your ice by
slightly twisting the ice container.

EN

Crisper humidity control
sliders
Using the crisper humidity control
sliders
Crisper of your refrigerator is designed
specially to keep your vegetables fresh
without loosing their humidity. Cold air
circulates basically around the crisper
and the amount of the cold air passing
through the crisper is controlled by the
sliders on the front side of the crisper
cover.
You can adjust the humidity control
sliders to a suitable position according
to the humidity and cooling condition
of your food in the crisper.
If you want your food in the crisper
to cool more, open the holes of the
humidity control sliders and if you
want them to cool less and keep their
humidity for a longer time, close the
holes.
Rotary storage container
Sliding body shelf can be moved to left
or right in order to allow you place long
bottles, jars or boxes to a lower shelf
(Fig. 1)
You can reach the food that you have
placed into the shelf by grabbing and
turning it from its right edge (Fig.2).
When you want to load or remove it to
clean, turn it by 90 degrees, raise it up
and pull towards yourself (Fig. 3-4).
