PART 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Thermostat setting
The fridge freezer thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the
compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be
obtained.
Thermostat setting;
1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob
between the minimum and medium position.
3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob
to the medium position.
5 : For freezing fresh food. The appliance will work for longer. So, after the desired
condition is reached, return the knob to the previous setting.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL
Warnings about temperature adjustments
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge freezer in environments colder
than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door
openings and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge freezer.
• When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any
food in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try
not to put a large quantity of food inside.
• A 5 minute delay function is included to prevent damage to the compressor of your
fridge freezer, when you unplug it and then plug it in again to operate it, or when an
energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge freezer will start to operate normally after 5
minutes.
Before Using your fridge freezer
• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation,
keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging
into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents
damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal
and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

EN - 7 -
Climate Class Ambient Temperature (°C)
TBetween 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
NBetween 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)
• Your fridge freezer 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 freezer is operated in the
environments which are out of the stated temperature intervals. This will reduce
the cooling efficiency of the fridge.
• This appliance is designed for
use at an ambient temperature
within the 16°C - 32°C range.
Accessories
Ice tray
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown
below to remove the ice cubes.
Bottle holder
In order to prevent bottles from slipping or falling over, you can use the
bottle holder. This will also help to prevent the noise made by bottles
when opening or closing the door.
(Only some models)
All written and visual descriptions in the accessories may vary according to the
appliance model.

EN - 8 -
PART 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Fridge compartment
• To reduce humidity and the consequent increase in frost, never place liquids in
unsealed containers in the fridge compartment. Frost tends to concentrate in the
coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and in time will more frequent defrosting
will be required.
• Never place warm food in the fridge compartment. Warm food should be allowed
to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air
circulation in the fridge compartment.
• Nothing should touch the back wall of the appliance as it will cause frost and
packaging to stick to it. Do not open the fridge door too frequently.
• Arrange meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which
you intend to use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the fridge compartment.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.
Freezer compartment
• Use the freezer for storing deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time and
making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh or warm food in the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use the
shelves for the storage of frozen food.
• Do not store fresh or warm food with frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• When freezing fresh food (e.g. meat, fish and mincemeat), divide it into portions
that you will consume in one sitting.
• When storing frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen food packaging
should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided, food should
not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchase date.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable
temperatures and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the
freezer as soon as possible. Do not use door shelves for freezing.
• If a frozen food package shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it is
probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that
the contents have deteriorated. Do not buy such food.
• The storage life of frozen food 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
instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking and the food which you need to
freeze more quickly. Fast freezing shelves are the middle drawers of the freezer
compartment (see page 14).

EN - 9 -
PART 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical components.
• The fridge freezer should be cleaned periodically using a solu-
tion of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and
water. Do not clean them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After wash-
ing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have fin-
ished cleaning, reconnect the plugto the mains supply with dry
hands.
• Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year.
This will help you to save on energy costs and increase
productivity.
THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.

EN - 10 -
Defrosting fridge compartment
• Defrosting occurs fully automatically in fridge compartment during operation; the
defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf)
should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom
of the fridge instead of flowing out.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be re-
moved periodically.
• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the
refrigerant circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic
scraper provided.
• When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be carried
out.
• Before defrosting, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping it in sheets
of newspaper (this will help the food to
maintain it’s tempertaure for longer).
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place
one or more bowls of warm water in the
freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a
sponge or a clean cloth.
• Once the unit has been defrosted, place
the food into freezer and remember to
consume it in a short period of time.

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF
INSTALLATION POSITION
Transportation and changing of installation position
• The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.
• During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a
strong rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while
transporting.
• Before transporting or changing the
installation position, all the moving
objects (ie,shelves,crisper…) should be
taken out or fixed with bands in order to
prevent them from getting damaged.
Carry your fridge freezer in the upright posi-
tion.
Repositioning the door
• It is not possible to change the opening direction of your refrigerator door, if the
door handles on your refrigerator 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 refrigerator may be changed, you should
contact the nearest authorised service agent to have the opening direction
changed.

PART 6. BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
If your fridge freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore to save
time and money, check the following, before calling an electrician.
What to do if your appliance does not operate
Check that:
• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected,
• The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug the appliance in to another socket
which you know is working.
What to do if your appliance performs poorly
Check that:
• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The thermostat setting is on position “1” (if so set the thermostat dial to a suitable
value).
• The doors are closed properly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space at the rear and side walls.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises
Compressor noise
• Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
• Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it starts.
Bubbling noise and splash:
• This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
• If you hear any other noises check that:
- The appliance is level
- Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
- The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator,
Check that:
• The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the
drain hole).
Recommendations
• If you do not intend to use the appliance for long time (for example during the
summer holidays) unplug and clean the appliance and leave the door open to
prevent the formation of mildew and smells.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug it from the main socket (for cleaning and
when the doors are left open).

EN - 13 -
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please
consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• The lifetime of your appliance is stated and declared by the Department of Industry.
The length of time for retaining parts required for the proper operation of the
appliance is 10 years.
Tips For Saving Energy
1.Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and
not near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2.Allow warm 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. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in
a waste of energy.
4.Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise
humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also
covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
5.Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too
frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch
on unnecessarily often.
6.Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc )
closed
7.Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
