THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIESPART - 2.
Thermostat setting
• Thermostat automatically regulates the inside
temperature of the refrigerator compartment and
freezer compartment.By rotating the knob from
position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained.
« » position shows thermostat is closed and no
cooling will be avaible.
• For short-term storage of food in the freezer
compartment, you can set the knob between 1 and
3 position.
• For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knop 3-4 position.
Warnings for Temperature Settings
• The ambiant temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door
is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If required,change
the temperature setting.
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in
terms of its efciency.
• The thermostat setting should be done by taking into consideration how often the
fresh food and freezer doors are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the
refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located.
• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature
without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not open doors
of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period.
• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your
fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an
energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge is designed to operate
in the ambient temperature intervals
stated in the standards, according
to the climate class stated in
the information label. It is not
recommended that your fridge is
operated in the environments which
are out of the stated temperature
intervals in terms of cooling
efciency.
Climate class Ambient Temperature (oC)
TBetween 16 and 43 oC
ST Between 16 and 38 oC
NBetween 16 and 32 oC
SN Between 10 and 32 oC

EN -7-
Super freeze and low ambient switch
a) Super freezing: If ambient temparature is more than 16°C, This switch
can be used as superfreeze switch. Super freeze switch should be used
for freezing the fresh food or when the lamp on the head panel is ON.
(Lamp on the head panel becomes ON when there is insufcient cooling).
The appliance will work longer when you activate this switch. So after
you get the cold condition (or the lamp on the head panel is off) you must
return to previous position. At the ambient temperature more than 18°C,
if superfreezing function doesn't want to be used, it must always be set to
OFF position.
b) Low ambient performance:
• Normally set this switch to ' ' position. Except when the ambient temperature is low like
in winter (ie.below 16°C) or when the freezer temperature needs to be maintained lower.
In that case, turn the switch to ' ’ position ON.
• To set super switch ON that is on the thermostat box, press the switch down to ' ’
position. The switch will lit.
• When the freezer compartment is cooled down to sufcient temperature, or the weather
gets hot, turn the super switch off to save electrical consumption. ( )
• When you rst switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable cooling, the appliance
should work 24 hours continuously until it cools down to sufcient temperature.
• In this time do not open the door so often and place a lot of food inside the appliance. If
the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting
or re-plugged the unit in order not to damage the compressor.
(If super freeze switch is available)
Making ice cubes
• Take out the ice making tray
• Fill the water in level of line.
• Place the ice making tray in its original position
• When ice cubes are formed, twist the lever to drop off ice cubes into
the icebox.
Do not ll the icebox with water in order to make ice. It can be
broken.
(In some models)
Accesories
Plastic scraper
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer
compartment. The frost, accumulated in the freezer, should be
removed periodically. Use the plastic scraper provided if necessary.
Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture
the refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit.

EN -8-
If turbo fan is available on your product ;
• Do not block air inlet and outlet openings when storing food, otherwise air circulation that
provided by turbo fan will be impaired.
Turbo fan

into slot on top of the switch rmly as shown
in the picture. To deactivate “sabbath” mode,
remove the lever gently.
Visual and text descriptions on the accessories section may
vary according to the model of your appliance.
ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCEPART - 3.
Refrigerator compartment
• 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 suggestions on the placing and storing of your food in the fridge compartment are
supplied below.

Cooked food All shelves
Freezer compartment
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time and
making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible of food to be frozen
is in contact with the cooling surface.
• Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,sh and mincemeat), divide them in parts you will
use in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to
consume them in as short period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb the frozen foods.
• For storing the frozen foods;the instructions shown on frozen food packages should
always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be stored
for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in appopriate containers to maintain the quality
of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest
possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is
probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the
contents have deteriorated.
• The strorage life of froozen foods depends on the room temperature, 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 instruductions printed on the
package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
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.

Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation; the defrost
water is collected by the evaporating tray and evoparates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with
defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator
instead of owing out.
• You can also pour 1/2 glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.
Freezer compartment
The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically. (Use
the plastic scraper provided) The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the way as the
refrigerator compartment, with the defrost operations of the compartment at least twice a
year.
For this;
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to “5” position to freeze the foods
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in
a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember
to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
• Set thermostat knob to position « » or unplug the unit; leave the door open until
completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process one or more basins of warm water can be placed
in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to MAX position.
Replacing the light bulb

Check that;
• There is no power ,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected ,
• The thermostat setting is on« »position ,
• The socket is not sufcient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which
is working into the same socket.
What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly;
Check that;
• You have not overloaded the appliance ,
• The doors are closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
If there is noise;
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling
sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite normal. If these
sounds are different check that;
• The appliance is well levelled
Repositioning the door
• It is not possible to change the opening direction of your fridge door, if the door handles
on your fridge are installed from the front surface of the door.
• It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without any handles.
• If the door opening direction of your fridge may be changed, you should contact the
nearest Authorized Service to have the opening direction changed.
Transportation and Changing of Installation Position
• Original package and foam may be kept for re-transportation (optionally).
• You should fasten your fridge with thick package, bands or strong cords and follow the
instructions for transportation on the package for re-transportation.
• Remove movable parts (shelves,

into the fridge against shocks using bands
during re-positioning and transportation.
Carry your fridge in the upright position.

EN -15-
• Nothing is touching the rear.
• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge;
• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when
the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more
frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
• Building up of water drops on the rear wall after automatic defrosting is normal. (in Static
Models)
If the doors are not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door joints broken or torn?
• Is your fridge on a level surface?
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• In case of a sudden power loss or disconnecting and reconnecting of the plug to the
electrical socket, the compressor protective thermal element will be opened as the
pressure of the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator has not yet been balanced.
4 or 5 minutes later, your refrigerator will start to operate; this is normal.
• If you won’t be using your refrigerator for a long time (such as on summer holidays),
please disconnect the plug from the socket. Clean your refrigerator as per Part 4 of this
document and leave the door open to prevent any humidication or odor formation.

Tips For Saving Energy
1– Install the appliance in a coll, well vantilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near
heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2– Allow ward food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3– When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature
of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. So it
causes energy saving. If the frozen food is put out, it causes wastage of energy.
4– When placing, drinks and slops they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases at
the appliance. Therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and slops
helps to save smell and taste.
5– When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briey as possible.
6– Keep close the covers of any different temrepature compartment in the appliance (crisper,
chiller ...etc ).
7– Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
