• 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.

PART - 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Information about NO FROST technology
No-Frost fridges differ from other static fridges in their operating principle.
In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge in the door openings
and the humidity of the food causes freezing in the freezer compartment.
To defrost the snow and ice in the freezer compartment, you should
turn off the fridge, take the food that needs to be kept in a constant
temperature off the fridge, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer
compartment periodically.
The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry and cold air
is blown to the fridge and freezer compartments homogeneously from
several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously even
between the shelves cools all your food equally and uniformly, thus
prevents humidity and freezing.
Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, besides its huge
volume and stylish appearance.
Thermostat Setting
FREEZER THERMOSTAT FRIDGE THERMOSTAT
Freezer and refrigerator thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the
compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained.
In cold seasons, you can set lower positions in order to decrease the energy consumption.
Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.
Freezer Thermostat Setting;
1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob be-
tween minimum and medium position.
3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob medium
position.
5 : For freezing the fresh food. Th appliance will work longer. After you get the cold condi-
tion you must position to its original position.
Refrigerator Thermostat Setting;
1 – 2 : For less coldly conditions.
3 – 4 : For normal conditions.
5 – MAX : For colder conditions.

Warnings about Temperature Adjustments
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C
in terms of its efciency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings
and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.
• Do not pass to another adjustment before completing an adjustment.
• 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.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restart-
ing or re-plugged the unit in order not to damage the compressor.
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient
temperature intervals stated in the standards, ac-
cording to the climate class stated in the information
label. We do not recommend operating your fridge
out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of
cooling effectiveness.
Climate class Ambient (oC)
T16 to 43 (oC)
ST 16 to 32 (oC)
N16 to 32 (oC)
SN 10 to 32 (oC)
Accessories
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 fill the icebox with water in order to make ice. It can be broken.
(In some models)
Fast Freezing Shelf
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and fresh
foods which is wanted to freeze) more quickly because of
the freezing room’s greater freezing power.
• For opening the shelf pull the cover up, and slide it in to the
shelf. You can close it in the same way
Note that; be sure that the cover of fast freezing shelf is closed before closing the compart-
ment door. If not, it can not show its fast freezing power.

EN -8-
Chiller Shelves
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.

Fresh dial
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, you
must open this klape which is on behind of shelf.
