BPlease remember that the
manufacturer shall not be held liable if
the information given in the user guide
is not observed.
Points to be considered
when re-transporting your
fridge/freezer
1. Your fridge/freezer must be
emptied and cleaned prior to any
transportation.
2. Shelves, accessories, and etc. have
to be fastened securely by adhesive
tape against any jolt before repacking
the appliance.
3. Packaging must be tied with thick
tapes and strong ropes and the
rules of transportation printed on the
package must be followed.
Please do not forget…
That recycled material is an
indispensable source for the nature
and for our national resources.
If you would like to contribute to
the recycling of the packaging, you
can get further information from
the environmental bodies or local
authorities.
Before operating your fridge/
freezer
#FGPSFTUBSUJOHUPVTFZPVSGSJEHFGSFF[FScheck the following:
1. The interior of the freezer has to be dry
and it is possible for the air to circulate
freely at the back of the applianceto
circulate freely at the back of the
appliance.
2. You can install the 2 spacers as
illustrated in the figure. Spacers
will provide the required distance
between your fridge/freezer and the
wall in order to allow the air circulation.
(The illustration is only an example and
does not match your product.)
3. Clean the interior of the freezer as
recommended in the "Maintenance
and cleaning" section.
4. Plug the refrigerator into the outlet.
When the door is open the interior
light in the refrigerator compartment
will be switched on.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
even if the compressor is not running
and this is quite normal.
6. The front edges of the fridge/freezer
may feel warm. This is normal. These
areas are designed to be warm to
avoid condensation.

socket which is being protected by a
fuse with the appropriate capacity.

Disposing of the packaging
The packaging may be dangerous
for children. Keep it out of the reach of
children or dispose of it by classifying it in
accordance with the waste instructions.
Do not dispose of it together with the
normal household waste.
The packaging of your fridge/freezer is

against any danger.
Placing and installation
1. There must be appropriate air
ventilation around your refrigerator in
order to achieve an efficient operation.
2.Place your fridge/freezer on a level
floor to prevent jolts.
3. Do not keep your fridge/freezer in
ambient temperatures under 10°C.

Replacing the interior light
bulb
If the light should fail to work switch
off at the socket outlet and pull out
the mains plug. Follow the below
instructions to check if the light bulb
has worked itself loose.
If the light still fails to work obtain
a replacement E14 screw cap type
15 Watt (Max) bulb from your local
electrical store and then fit it as follows:
1. Switch off the fridge/freezer at the
outlet and pull out the mains plug. You
may find it useful to remove the shelves
for easy access.

Adjusting the legs
If your refrigerator is unbalanced
you can balance your fridge/freezer
by turning the front legs as shown in
illustration below. The corner where the
leg exists is lowered when you turn in
the direction of black arrow and raised
when you turn in the opposite direction.
Getting help from someone to slightly
lift the fridge/freezer will facilitate this
process.

Your fridge/freezer should be installed
at least 30 cm away from heat
sources such as hobs, ovens, central
heater and stoves and at least 5 cm
away from electrical ovens and should
not be located under direct sunlight.
The ambient temperature of the room
where you install your fridge/freezer
should at least be 10°C. Operating
your fridge/freezer under cooler
conditions is not recommended with
regard to its efficiency.
Please make sure that the interior
of your fridge/freezer is cleaned
thoroughly.
If you want to place two products
side by side, e.g. a refrigerator and a
freezer, as a side by side solution you
have to use a decoration kit which
contains a small mat and a decoration
part. The mat is mounted on the side
of one of the products to create a
space between the products. The
decoration part is placed between the
products to hide the gap between the
products (Fig. 2). The decoration kit is
not a part of the product but can be
delivered as an accessory.
4Preparation
When you operate your fridge/freezer
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the initial
six hour.
- The door should not be opened
frequently.
- It must be operated empty without
any food in it.
- Do not unplug your fridge/freezer. If
a power failure occurs out of your
control, please see the warnings in
UIFi3FDPNNFOEFETPMVUJPOTGPSthe problems” section.
Original packaging and foam
materials should be kept for future
transportations or moving.

5Using your fridge/freezer
The operating temperature is regulated
by the temperature control.
1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest
setting)
5 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest
setting)
(Or)
Min. = Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting)
Max. = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
The average temperature inside the
fridge/freezer should be around +5°C.
Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
You can stop the operation of your
appliance by turning the thermostat
control to the "0" position.
Please note that there will be different
temperatures in the cooling area.
The coldest area is just above the
vegetable compartment.
The interior temperature also depends
on ambient temperature, the frequency
with which the door is opened and the
amount of food kept inside.
Warm Cold

(Or) Min. Max.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing compartment is marked
with this symbol.
You can use the appliance for freezing
fresh food as well as for storing pre-
frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations
on the packaging of your food.
t"UUFOUJPODo not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle
may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 hours. See the
rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the
food, the freezing must be effected as
rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside
the freezer will not rise.
t"UUFOUJPOAlways keep the already deep-frozen
food separated from fresh food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the
cooling compressor will work until the
food is completely frozen. This can
temporarily cause excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.

EN
16
If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed it,
don’t worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalize and allow
the door to open normally after a few
minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after
closing the door. This is quite normal.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water
and place it in the freezer.
As soon as the water has turned into
ice, you can take out the ice cubes.

There is a risk of injury!
Instead let the ice cubes slightly thaw
or place the bottom of the tray in hot
water for a short moment.
Defrosting the appliance
Excessive build-up of ice will affect the
freezing performance of your device.
It is therefore recommended that you
defrost your appliance at least twice
a year, or whenever the ice build-up
exceeds 7 mm.
Defrost your device when there is only
little or no food in it.
Take out the deep-frozen food. Wrap
the deep-frozen food in several layers
of paper, or a blanket, and keep it in a
cold place.
Unplug the appliance or switch off the
circuit breaker to start the defrosting
process.
Take out the accessories (like shelf,
drawer etc.) from the appliance and
use a suitable container to collect the
thawing water.
Use a sponge or a soft cloth to
remove thawing water if necessary in
the freezing compartment and frozen

Keep the door open during defrosting.
For quicker defrosting place containers
