4Preparation
• For a freestanding appliance; ‘this
refrigerating appliance is not intended
to be used as a built-in appliance.
• 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 Freezer Guard
technology.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.
• Since hot and humid air will not
directly penetrate into your product
when the doors are not opened,
your product will optimize itself in
conditions sufficient to protect your
food. Functions and components
such as compressor, fan, heater,
defrost, lighting, display and so on
will operate according to the needs
to consume minimum energy under
these circumstances.

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.
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.

Defrosting
A) Fridge Compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water
runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance
(1). (see diagram) During defrosting
water droplets may form at the back
of the fridge compartment where
concealed evaporator is located. Some
droplets may remain on the liner and
refreeze when defrosting is completed.
Do not allow items in the fridge to
touch the back wall as the water
droplets will make them wet. Do not
use pointed or sharp edged objects
such as knives, forks to remove the
droplets which have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does
not drain from the collection channel,
check to ensure that no food particles
have blocked the drain tube. The drain
tube can be cleared by pushing the
special plastic plunger provided down
the drain tube (2). If the frost layer
reaches about 1/4”(7 mm), reduce
the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart
automatic defrosting.
B) Freezer compartment
• The freezer compartment defrosts
automatically.
Warnings!
• The fan inside the freezer
compartment circulates cold air.
Never insert any object through
• the guard. Do not allow children to
play with the freezer fan.
• Never store products that contain
inflammable propellant gas (eg
dispensers, spray cans etc.) or
explosive substances.
• Don’t cover the shelves with any
protective materials, which may
obstruct air circulation.
• Do not allow children to play with the
appliance or tamper with the controls.
• Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard
to ensure that you obtain the best
possible performance from your
