Adjusting the legs
If your refrigerator is unbalanced;
You can balance your refrigerator
by turning its front legs 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.
Replacing the interior lamp
Should the light fail to work, proceed
as follows.
1. Switch off at the socket outlet
and pull out the mains plug.You may
find it useful to remove shelves for
easy access.
2. Use a flat tipped screwdriver to
remove the light diffuser cover.
3. First check that the lamp hasn’t
worked loose by ensuring it is screwed
securely in the holder. Replace the
plug and switch on.
4. If the lamp works, replace the
light cover by inserting the rear lug
and pushing up to locate the front two
lugs.
5. If the light still fails to work,
switch off at the socket outlet and pull
out the mains plug. Replace the lamp
with a new 15 watt (max) screw cap
(SES) lamp.
6. Carefully dispose of the burnt-
out lamp immediately.
7. Replacement light lamp can
easily be obtained from a good local
electrical or DIY store.

4Preparation
• Your cooler/freezer 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.
• Please make sure that the interior
of your cooler/freezer is cleaned
thoroughly.
• If two coolers are to be installed side
by side, there should be at least 2 cm
distance between them.
• When you operate your cooler/freezer
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the initial
six hours.
• Its door should not be opened
frequently.
• It must be operated empty without
placing any food in it.
• Do not unplug your cooler/freezer.
If a power failure occurs out of your
control, please see the warnings in
the “Recommended solutions for the
problems” section.
• 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.
• This product has been designed to
function at ambient temperatures
up to 43 °C (90 SDgrF). Even if the
ambient temperature falls to -15
°C, frozen food in the freezer does
not thaw thanks to its Advanced
Electronic Temperature Control
System. For the first installation, the
product should NOT be placed under
low ambient temperatures. This is
because the freezer cannot go down
to standard operation temperature.
When reaching continuous operation,
the product can be moved to
another place. Thus, later you can
place your product in the garage
or an unheated room without the
concern of causing frozen food to
get rotten. However, it is likely that
above mentioned low temperatures
may cause the freezing of the food in
the fridge compartment; thus, please
consume the food items in the fridge
in a controlled way as needed. When
ambient temperature goes back
to normal, you may change button
setting according to your need.
• If the ambient temperature is below
0°C, the food in fridge compartment
will freeze. Therefore, we recommend
not using the fridge compartment
in such low ambient temperatures.
You may continue to use the freezer
compartment as usual.
• 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.

5Using your refrigerator
Defrost
A) 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.
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and
without mess, thanks to a special
defrost collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a
frost layer of around 7 (1/4”) mm
has formed. To start the defrosting
procedure, switch off the appliance
at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in
several layers of newspaper and
stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or
larder).
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.

EN
17
Containers of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hair dryers, electrical
heaters or other such electrical
appliances for defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water
collected in the bottom of the freezer
compartment. After defrosting, dry the
interior thoroughly.
Insert the plug into the wall socket and
switch on the electricity supply.
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.

EN
18
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
*optional
Fill the ice container with water and
place it into the freezer compartment.
Your ice will be ready approximately in
two hours.
You can remove the ice in the ice
container by removing it from the
freezer and twisting it.

EN

Turbo Cooling Fan
“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 the turbo fan works only with
the compressor in some products,
the control system determines its
operation time in some products
in accordance with the cooling
requirement. This situation is explained
on a separate warning and information
label attached on the refrigerator in
products equipped with turbo fans
running under different conditions than
the compressor.”
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.
