BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Installing and operating your fridge
Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to
the following points:
• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• Mains cord of your fridge has a grounded plug. This plug
should be used with a grounded receptacle that has a
16 ampere fuse minimum. If you don’t have a receptacle
conrming with this, please have it done by a qualied
electrician.
• We do not take the responsibility of the damages that
occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed
to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves,
Gas ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm
away from electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under
the rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there
should be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity
on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge
in a suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on the
upper side.
• The adjustable front legs should stabilized in an appropriate
height to allow your fridge operate in a stable and proper
way. You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise
(or in the opposite direction). This should be done before
placing food in the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water
added with a tea spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and
then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts after
cleaning.
• Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black
vanes at the rear) by turning it 90° as shown in the gure
to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.
• Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free
distance not exceeding 75 mm.

EN
8BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Before Using your Fridge
• When it is operated for the rst time or after transportation,
keep your fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and
plug it on to allow efcient operation. Otherwise, you may
damage the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the
rst time; the smell will fade away when your fridge starts
to cool.
Information on No-Frost technology
No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in
their operating principle.
In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to door
openings and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing
in the freezer compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the
freezer compartment, you are periodically required to turn off
the fridge, place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a
separately cooled container, and remove the ice gathered in
the freezer compartment.
The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry
and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments
homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower
fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between
the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus
preventing humidity and freezing.
Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, in
addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

Refrigerator compartment
• For normal operating conditions, adjusting the temperature value of
the cooler partition of the fridge to 4°C will be enough.
• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place
liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to
concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time 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.
• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the
packages can stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator
door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned sh(wrapped in packages or sheets
of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days,in the bottom section of
the refrigerator compartment(that is above the crisper) as this is the
coldest section and will ensure the best storing conditions.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
Some recommendations have been specied below for the placement
and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

Freezer compartment
• Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for
storing the frozen food for a long time and for producing ice.
• To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use
glass shelves for upper and middle section. For bottom section,
please use lower basket.
• Please do not place the food you shall newly freeze nearby the
already frozen food.
• You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, sh,
etc.) by dividing them into portions in such a way that they can be
consumed once.
• Please do not refreeze the frozen food once they are thawed. It may
pose a danger for your health since it might cause problems such as
food poisoning.
• Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they become
cold. You would cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep
freeze to become putreed.
• When you buy frozen food, makes sure that they were frozen under
appropriate conditions and the package is not torn.
• While storing the frozen food, the storage conditions on the package
should certainly be observed. If there is not any explanation, the food
must be consumed within the shortest time possible.
• Frozen foods must be carried without corrupting them and placed on
the quick freezing shelf as soon as possible. Do not use door shelves
for freezing purpose.
• If there had been humidication in the frozen food package and it
has a foul smell, the food might have been stored under unsuitable
conditions previously and gone rotten. Do not purchase this type of
foods!
• The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the
ambient temperature, the frequent opening and closing of the doors,
thermostat settings, food type and the time elapsed from the purchase
time of the food to the time it is placed into the freezer. Always abide
by the instructions on the package and never exceed the indicated
storage duration.
• During long lasting power failures, please do not open the door of
the deep freeze compartment. Your refrigerator shall preserve your
frozen food for about 13 hours in ambient temperatures of 25 °C and
ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

EN
19
for about 10 hours in ambient temperatures of 32 °C. This value will
decrease under higher ambient temperatures. During longer power
failures, do not refreeze your food and consume them as soon as
possible.
Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer
door, it will not be opened easily. It’s quite normal! After reaching
equilibrium condition, the door will be opened easily.
Important note:
• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods.
If they are not cooked after being thawed they must NEVER be re-
frozen.
• 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. Therefore, the
frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired
spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable
oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils
are peanut oil and pig fat.
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other
food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.
Some recommendations have been specied on pages 20, 21 and 22 for
the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.
