Installing and Operating Your Fridge-Freezer
Before using your fridge, you should pay attention to the
following points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
EN
10 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
• Do not use plug adapter.
• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that
occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge where it will not be exposed to direct
sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves,
gas ovens and heater cores, and at least 5 cm away from
electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or exposed to
rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there
should be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity
forming 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 of free space is
available above it.
• Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance
is level and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them
in either direction. This should be done before placing food
in the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with a solution of
warm water and a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, then
rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts in the fridge
after cleaning.

space not exceeding 75 mm.
Before Using your Fridge-Freezer
• When using your fridge for the rst time, or after
transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3
hours before plugging into the mains. This allows ecient
operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the
rst time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when
your fridge starts to cool.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Information about New Generation Cooling
Technology
Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a
dierent operating system to static fridges. Other (static) fridges
may experience a build up of ice in the freezer compartment
due to door openings and humidity in the food. In such fridges,
regular defrosting is required; the fridge must be switched
o, the frozen food moved to a suitable container and the ice
which has formed in the freezer compartment removed.
In fridges with new-generation cooling technology, a fan
blows dry cold air evenly throughout the fridge and freezer
compartments. The cold air cools your food evenly and
uniformly, preventing humidity and ice build-up.
In the refrigerator compartment, air blown by the fan, located
at the top of the refrigerator compartment, is cooled while
passing through the gap behind the air duct. At the same time,
the air is blown out through the holes in the air duct, evenly
spreading cool air throughout the refrigerator compartment.
There is no air passage between the freezer and refrigerator
compartments, therefore preventing the mixing of odors.
As a result, your fridge, with new-generation cooling
technology, provides you with ease of use as well as a huge
volume and aesthetic appearance.

Warnings about Temperature Adjustments
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments
colder than 10°C in terms of its eciency.
• Do not start another adjustment while you are already making an
adjustment.
• 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.
EN
16 THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
• This appliance is designed
for use at an ambient
temperature within the
10 °C - 43 °C range.
Important installation instructions
This appliance is designed to work in dicult climate conditions (up to
43 degrees C or 110 degrees F) and is powered with ‘Freezer Shield’
technology which ensures that the frozen food in the freezer will not
defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So you
may then install your appliance in an unheated room without having to
worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. When the ambient
temperature returns to normal, you may continue using the appliance as
usual.
Accessories
Freezer Box
The freezer box allows foods are maintained more regularly.
Removing The Freezer Box;
• Pull the box out as far as possible
• Pull the front of box up and out.
! Make the inverse of the same operation for the resetting the sliding
compartment.
Note: Always Keep the handle of box while removing the box.
Climate Class Ambient Temperature oC
TBetween 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
NBetween 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)

THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Chiller Shelf
Keeping food in the Chiller compartment instead
of the freezer or refrigerator compartment allows
food retain freshness and avour longer, while
preserving its fresh appearance. When chiller tray
becomes dirty, remove it and wash it with water.
(Water freezes at 0°C, but foods containing salt or
sugar freeze at temperature lower than that)
Normally people use the chiller compartment for
raw sh, lightly pickled, rice, etc...
Do not put foods you want to freeze or ice trays in order to make ice.
Removing the Chiller Shelf
• Pull the chiller shelf out toward you by sliding on rails.
• Pull the chiller shelf up from rail to remove.
Humidity Controler
When the humidity controler in the closed position, it allows fresh fruit and
vegetables to be stored longer.
In case of the crisper is totally full, the fresh
dial is located in front of crisper, should
be opened. By means of this the air in the
crisper and humidity rate will be controlled
and endurance life will be increased.
If you see any condensation on glass shelf,
humidity control should be taken into the
open positions.

18 THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Adjustable Door Shelf
Six dierent 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 buttons on the side of
the door shelf direction of arrow (Fig.1).
Position door shelf the height you need by moving up and
down. After you get the position that you want the door shelf,
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
o the rails due to the weight. So damage may occur on the
door shelf or rails.
Adjustable Glass Shelf
Adjustable glass shelf mechanism provides higher storage
spaces with a simple movement. To cover the glass shelf,
push it.
You can load your food as you want in the resulting extra
space. To bring the shelf in its original position, pull it toward
you.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
Your refrigerator has fully automatic defrosting. The water
formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water
collection spout, ows into the vaporisation container below
the condenser and evaporates there.
• Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your
refrigerator before cleaning the vaporization container.
• Remove the vaporization container from its position by
unscrewing the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy
water at specic time intervals. Thus, the odor formation
will have been prevented.
Replacing LED Lighting
If your refrigerator has LED lighting contact the help desk as
this should be changed by authorized personnel only.
