4Preparation
•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 -15°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
side by side, there should be at least 2
cm distance between them.
•When you operate your refrigerator
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the initial
six hours.
•The door should not be opened
frequently.
•It must be operated empty without any
food in it.
•Do not unplug your refrigerator. If
a power failure occurs out of your
control, please see the warnings in
the “Recommended solutions for the
problems” section.
•Original packaging and foam
materials should be kept for future
transportations or moving.
•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.
•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
The operating temperature is regulated
by the temperature control.
WC
5
1=Lowest cooling setting (Warmest
setting).
4=Highest cooling setting (Coldest
setting).
The average temperature inside the
fridge should be around +5°C.
Please choose the setting according to
the desired temperature.
Please note that there will be different
temperatures in the cooling area.
The coldest region is immediately above
the vegetable compartment.
The interior temperature also depends
on ambient temperature, the frequency
with which the door is opened and the
amount of foods kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes the
interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to
close the door again as soon as possible
after use.
5.1. 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.

5.2. 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.
Check regularly to see f the dran ppe s
clogged or not and clear t wth the stck
n the hole when necessary.
5.3. Freezing Fresh Food
•It must be preferred to wrap or cover
the food before placing them in the
refrigerator.
•Hot food must cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in the
refrigerator.
•The foodstuff that you want to freeze
must be fresh and in good quality.
•Foodstuff must be divided into portions
according to the family’s daily or meal
based consumption needs.
•The foodstuff must be packaged in an
airtight manner to prevent them from
drying even if they are going to be kept

•Materials to be used for packaging
must be tear-proof and resistant to
cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids and
they must also be airtight. Moreover,
they must be well closed and they must
be made from easy-to-use materials
that are suitable for deep freeze usage.
•Frozen food must be used immediately
after they are thawed and they should
never be re-frozen.
•Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
1.Do not freeze too large quantities
of food at one time. The quality of the
food is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
2.Placing warm food into the
freezer compartment causes the cooling
system to operate continuously until the
food is frozen solid.
3.Take special care not to mix
already frozen food and fresh food.

5.11. Using the
Water Dispenser
*May not be available in all models
CIt is normal for the first few
glasses of water taken from
the dispenser to be warm.
CIf the water dispenser is not
used for a long period of time,
dispose of first few glasses of
water to obtain fresh water.
1. Push in the lever of the water
dispenser with your glass. If you are
using a soft plastic cup, pushing the
lever with your hand will be easier.
2. After filling the cup up to the level you
want, release the lever.
CPlease note, how much
water flows from the
dispenser depends on how
far you depress the lever. As
the level of water in your cup
/ glass rises, gently reduce
the amount of pressure on
the lever to avoid overflow.
If you slightly press the
arm, the water will drip; this
is quite normal and not a
failure.

substances and additives
contained in these kinds of
drinks/liquids may damage the
