• The operation voltage of your refrigerator is 220-240 V and 50 Hz.
• WARNING: To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be xed in
accordance with the instructions.
• A specially grounded plug has been connected to the power cable of your refrigerator.
This plug should be used with a specially grounded socket of 16 amperes. If there is no
such socket in your house, please have it installed by an authorized electrician.
• Our company shall not be held responsible for damages that may arise due to utilization
with no grounding installation.
• Place your refrigerator in a suitable spot that it will not be exposed
to direct sunlight.
• It should be at least 50 cm away from heat sources such as
cookers, ovens, wing radiators and stoves and at least 5 cm away
from electrical ovens.
• Your refrigerator should not be used in the open air and should not
remain under the rain.
• If your refrigerator is juxtaposed with a deep freeze, it is necessary
to leave a space of at least 2 cm between them in order to prevent
condensation on the outer surfaces.
• Please do not place any heavy objects on your refrigerator and
place your refrigerator in a suitable spot in such a way that there
will be a free space of minimum 15 cm on the top.
• If your are going to place the refrigerator beside your kitchen
cabinets then you should keep a clearance of at least 2 cm’s
between them.
• To prevent the condenser (the black backside component with
ns) from touching the wall, put on the plastic distance guide in its
place rotating 90°.
• To ensure smooth and vibration-free operation of your refrigerator,
the adjustable front feet must be set at the suitable height and
mutually balanced. You can ensure this by turning the adjustable
feet clockwise (or counter-clockwise). This process should be
performed before the food is placed in the refrigerator.
• Before using your refrigerator, wipe all its parts with warm water in which you shall add
one teaspoon of food soda, then rinse it with clean water and dry it. After the cleaning
process is completed, place all the parts back.
Before Starting to Operate Your Refrigerator
• During the rst operation or to ensure the efcient operation of the
device following the relocation processes, allow your refrigerator
to remain idle for 3 hours (in a vertical position), then insert the
plug to the socket. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
• The rst time you operate your refrigerator, an odor might be smelt. This odor shall
disappear once your refrigerator starts cooling.

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 department. 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 department.
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.
