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

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.

EN

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. Air flow noise
can be heard with some products
when the fan inside of the product
operates. 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.
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!
Disposing of the packaging
The packing materials may be
dangerous for children. Keep the
packing materials out of the reach
of children or dispose them of by
classifying them in accordance
with the waste instructions. Do not
dispose them of along with the normal
household waste.
The packing of your refrigerator is
produced from recyclable materials.
Disposing of your old
refrigerator
Dispose of your old machine without
giving any harm to the environment.
• You may consult your authorized
dealer or waste collection center of
your municipality about the disposal
of your refrigerator.
Before disposing of your refrigerator,
cut out the electric plug and, if there
are any locks on the door, make them
inoperable in order to protect children
against any danger.

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).
If you want to make the compartment
temperatures cooler or hotter, you can
change this by pressing the button of
the relevant compartment.
Defrost
It is normal that ice crystals build up
on the surface of the rear wall of your
refrigerator while it is operating. There
is no need to scrape of wipe them off.
Your refrigerator defrosts automatically.
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.
Using the accessories
Bottle holder
You can use this bottle holder to serve
the drinks on tables or counters.

Useful information
1- Suggestions on opening time of the wine before it is tasted :
Normal quality wines Just before drinking
Quality white wines Approximately 10 minutes before
Young red wines Approximately 10 minutes before
Dense and mature red wines Approximately 3-60 minutes before
2- How long an opened wine can be stored?
Mouth of the wine bottles that you did not fully consume after opening and
intend to stored in order to drink later must be securely closed and the bottle
must be stored in a cool and dry place. Carbon dioxide in the wine mixes into
the air (evaporates) together with various valuable aromatic substances and
thus, the bouquet and taste of the wine lose its freshness.
Therefore, the best and the most enjoyable option is to completely consume
the opened wines and those at best time to drink.
However, wines that are securely closed can be stored in cool places with the
following periods (not advised).
Normal and quality white wines Normal and high quality red wines
%75 Full bottle 3 – 5 days 4 – 7 days
%50 Full bottle 2 – 3 days 3 – 5 days
Less 1 days 2 days
3- Suggested optimum service temperatures of some wines
6 °C Sweet white wines
6 – 8 °C Semidry white and sparkling wine
8 – 10 ° C Dry white and dry rose
16 – 18 ° C Dry red wines
Silver
Inner surfaces of the refrigerator are rendered antibacterial by means of the
silver-ion additive. Thus, growth and reproduction of bacteria on interior body
parts are prevented.
