3 USING THE APPLIANCE
3.1 Information on the Frost Free
Technology
The Frost Free refrigerators have a
different operating system
to static refrigerators.
In normal (static) fridges,
the humidity entering the
fridge due to opening the
door, and the humidity
inherent in the food,
causes frost build-up in
the freezer compartment.
To defrost the frost
and ice in the freezer
compartment, you are
required to periodically
switch off the fridge,
place the frozen food
in a separate cooled
container, then remove
the ice gathered in the
freezer compartment.
The situation is
completely different in No-
frost fridges. A built-in fan
blows dry and cold air evenly throughout
the cooler and freezer compartments. The
cold air disperses uniformly between the
shelves, ensuring all your food is cooled
equally, thus preventing humidity and frost
build-up.
Therefore, your No-frost fridge allows ease
of use, in addition to its huge capacity and
stylish appearance.
3.2 Thermostat Setting
The thermostat automatically regulates
the temperature inside the refrigerator and
freezer compartments. Cooler temperatures
can be obtained by rotating the knob to
higher numbers, 1 to 5.
Lamp cover Thermostat knob
Thermostat Settings
• Set the knob to a low/medium position,
up to 3, for short-term storage of food in
the appliance.
• Set the knob to a medium position, 3 or
4, for long-term storage of food in the
appliance.
• Set the knob to 5 position for freezing
the fresh food. The appliance will run for
colder temperatures.

EN - 14
3.3 Temperature Adjustment Warnings
• It is not recommended that you operate
your fridge in environments colder than
10°C in terms of its efciency.
• Temperature adjustments should be
made according to the frequency of door
openings, the quantity of food kept inside
the fridge and the ambient temperature in
the location of your fridge.
• In order to allow your fridge to reach
the operating temperature after being
connected to mains, do not open the
doors frequently or place large quantities
of food in the fridge. Please note that,
depending on the ambient temperature,
it may take 24 hours for your fridge to
reach the operating temperature.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied
to prevent damage to the compressor
of your fridge when connecting or
disconnecting to mains, or when an
energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge
will begin to operate normally after 5
minutes.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature (T/N = 16°C -
43°C) intervals stated in the standards,
according to the climate class displayed
on the information label. We do not
recommend operating your appliance out
of the stated temperature limits in terms
of cooling effectiveness.
Climate class and meaning:
T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance
is intended to be used at ambient
temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.
ST (subtropical): This refrigerating
appliance is intended to be used at ambient

Removing the freezer box:
• Pull the box out as far as possible
• Pull the front of the box up and out

EN - 15
Carry out the opposite of this operation
when retting the sliding compartment.
Always keep hold of the handle of the
box while removing it.
3.4.3 The Fresh Dial (In some models)
Fresh dial
If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located
in front of the crisper should be opened.
This allows the air in the crisper and the
humidity rate to be controlled, to increase
the life of food within.
The dial, located behind the shelf, must be
opened if any condensation is seen on the
glass shelf.
3.4.4 Adjustable Door Shelf (In some
models)
Six different height adjustments can be
made to provide storage areas that you
need by adjustable door shelf.
To change the position of adjustable door
shelf ;
Hold the bottom of the shelf and pull the

release the buttons on
the side of the door
shelf (Fig.2) Before
releasing the door
shelf, move up down
and make sure the
door shelf is xed.
Note: Before moving door shelf is
loaded, you must hold the shelf by
supporting the bottom. Otherwise, door
shelf could fall off the rails due to the
weight. So damage may occur on the door
shelf or rails.
3.4.5 Maxi-fresh preserver (In some
models)
Maxi Fresh Preserver technology helps to
remove ethylene gas (a
bioproduct released naturally
from fresh foods) and
unpleasant odors from the
crisper. In this way, food stays
fresh for a longer time.
• Maxi Fresh Preserver must
be cleaned once in a year.
The lter should be waited
for 2 hours at 65°C in a
oven.
• To clean the lter, please
remove the back cover of the lter box by
pulling it in the direction of the arrow.

4 FOOD STORAGE
4.1 Refrigerator Compartment
• To reduce humidity and avoid the
consequent formation of frost, always
store liquids in sealed containers in the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in
the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid
and, in time, your appliance will require
more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the
refrigerator. Warm food should be
allowed to cool at room temperature
and should be arranged to ensure
adequate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact
with the rear wall of the appliance as
frost will develop and packaging will stick
to it. Do not open the refrigerator door
frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean sh
are loosely wrapped and stored on the
glass shelf just above the vegetable bin
where the air is cooler, as this provides
the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in
the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the
crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately
helps prevent ethylene-sensitive
vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-
releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot,
g etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the
refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products
depends on the initial quality of the food
and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle
before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not
store meat products with fruit and
vegetables. Water leaking from meat
may contaminate other products in the
refrigerator. You should package meat

EN - 17
products and clean any leakages on the
shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air ow
passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the
recommended expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic
should not be stored in the refrigerator.
• For normal working conditions, it will
be sufcient to adjust the temperature
setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge
compartment should be in the range
of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are
iced and rotted, bacterial load increases
above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator
immediately, wait for the temperature
to pass outside. Hot foods increase the
degree of your refrigerator and cause
food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling
of the food.
• Meat, sh, etc. should be store in the
chiller compartment of the food, and the
vegetable compartment is preferred for
vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat
products and fruit vegetables are not
stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator
in closed containers or covered to
prevent moisture and odors.
The table below is a quick guide to show
you the most efcient way to store the
major food groups in your refrigerator
compartment.

4.2 Freezer Compartment
• The freezer is used for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food, and making ice
cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal
fresh food properly, that is the packaging
should be air tight and shouldn’t leak.
Special freezer bags, aluminum foil
polythene bags and plastic containers
are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen
food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into
portions that can be consumed in one
sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a
short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer
compartment as it will thaw the frozen
food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions on food packaging when
storing frozen food. If no information is
provided food, should not be stored for
more than 3 months from the date of
purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure
that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not
damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in
appropriate containers and placed in the
freezer as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the
packaging shows signs of humidity
and abnormal swelling. It is probable
that it has been stored at an unsuitable

EN - 18
temperature and that the contents have
deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends
on the room temperature, the thermostat
setting, how often the door is opened,
the type of food, and the length of time
required to transport the product from
the shop to your home. Always follow the
instructions printed on the packaging and
never exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in
kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated on the appliance label.
• To use the maximum capacity of the
freezer compartment, use the glass
shelves for the upper and middle section,
and use the lower basket for the bottom
section.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze
home cooking (and any other food
which needs to be frozen quickly) more
quickly because of the freezing shelf’s
greater freezing power. Fast freezing
shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer
compartment.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer
door immediately after closing it, you
will nd that it will not open easily. This
is normal. Once equilibrium has been
reached, the door will open easily.
Important note:
• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked
dishes (anise, basilica, watercress,
vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic,
onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black
pepper, etc.) changes and they assume
a strong taste when they are stored for a
long period of time. Therefore, add small
amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or
the desired spice should be added after
the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent
on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are
margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter.
Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in
plastic cups and other food should be
frozen in plastic folios or bags.

5 CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the unit from the power
supply before cleaning.
Do not wash your appliance by
pouring water on it.
Do not use abrasive products,
detergents or soaps for cleaning the
appliance. After washing, rinse with clean
water and dry carefully. When you have
nished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the
mains supply with dry hands.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned
regularly using a solution of bicarbonate
of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by
hand with soap and water. Do not wash
accessories in a dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least
twice a year. This will help you to save on
energy costs and increase productivity.
The power supply must be
disconnected during cleaning.
5.1 Defrosting
• Your appliance performs automatic
defrosting. The water formed as a
result of defrosting passes through
the water collection spout, ows into
the vaporisation container behind your
appliance and evaporates there.
