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

refrigerator

1. Your refrigerator 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

repackaging.

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 materials,

you can get further information from

the environmental bodies or local

authorities.

Before operating your

refrigerator

#FGPSFTUBSUJOHUPVTFZPVSSFGSJHFSBUPScheck the following:

1. The interior of the refrigerator has to

be dry and it is possible for the air

to 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 refrigerator and the wall

in order to allow the air circulation.

(The illustrated figure is only an

example and does not match exactly

with your product.)

3. Clean the interior of the

refrigerator 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 refrigerator may feel

warm. This is normal. These areas

are designed to be warm to avoid

condensation.

Adjusting the feet

*GZPVSSFGSJHFSBUPSJTVOCBMBODFEYou can balance your refrigerator by

turning the front legs as shown in the

illustration below. The corner where

the leg exists is lowered when you turn

it in the direction of black arrow and

raised when you turn in the opposite

direction. Taking help from someone to

slightly lift the refrigerator will facilitate

this process.

Electric connection

Connect your product to a grounded

socket which is being protected by a

fuse with the appropriate capacity.

Important:

t5IFDPOOFDUJPONVTUCFJOaccordance with with national

regulations.

t5IFQPXFSDBCMFQMVHNVTUCFFBTJMZaccessible after installation.

BA damaged power cable must be

replaced by a qualified electrician.

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 refrigerator is

made from recyclable materials.

Disposing of your old

refrigerator

Dispose of your old refrigerator without

harming to the environment.

t:PVNBZDPOTVMUZPVSBVUIPSJ[FEretailer or the recycling depot in your

municpality about the disposal of your

refrigerator.

#FGPSFEJTQPTJOHPGZPVSSFGSJHFSBUPScut out the electric plug and, if there

are any locks on the door, make them

inoperable in order to protect children

against any danger.

Placing and Installation

1. Install your refrigerator in a place

that allows ease of use.

2. There must be appropriate air

ventilation around your refrigerator in

order to achieve an efficient operation.

3.Place your refrigerator on an even

floor surface to prevent jolts.

4. Do not keep your refrigerator in

ambient temperatures under 10°C.

Reversing the door

Proceed in numerical order.

45°

(12)

180°

Your refrigerator 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

refrigerator should at least be 10°C.

Operating your refrigerator under

cooler conditions than this is not

recommended with regard to its

efficiency.

Please make sure that the interior

of your refrigerator is cleaned

thoroughly.

When you operate your refrigerator

for the first time, please observe the

following instructions during the initial

six hours.

- The door should not be opened

frequently.

- It must be operated empty without

any food in it.

- Do not unplug your refrigerator. 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 refrigerator

Thermostat knob

The thermostat knob is located on the

top trim of the refrigerator.

Important:

When you adjust the set temperature,

there may be a short delay before the

compressor starts to operate. This is

normal and not a compressor fault.

Using interior equipment

Glass shelves: Distance between

the shelves can be adjusted when

necessary.

Vegetable drawer: Vegetables

and fruits can be stored in this

compartment.

%PPSTIFMWFT#PUUMFTKBSTBOEUJOTDBObe placed in these shelves.

Cooling

Food storage

The fridge compartment is for the

short-term storage of fresh food and

drinks.

Store milk products in the coldest part

in the refrigerator.

Bottles can be stored on the bottle

holder or in the doorshelf.

Raw meat is best kept in a

polyethylene bag in the compartment

at the very bottom of the refrigerator.

Attention

Do not store explosive substances or

containers with flammable propellant

gases (canned cream, spray cans etc.)

in the device. There is a danger of

explosion.

Defrosting of the fridge

The appliance defrosts automatically.

The fridge has an automatic defrosting

system. It means that it works in

a cycle, where it refrigerates when

there is frost on the back wall, and it

defrosts when water runs down the

back wall.

The frost formed on the back wall in

the fridge compartment is removed

automatically. During the defrosting

cycle the water that contains impurity

can block the plughole. If this

happens, clean the plughole with a

cotton bud.

FreshZone

This compartment has been

developed to store frozen food which

would be thawed slowly (meat, fish,

chicken,etc.) as required.

FreshZone is the coldest place

of your refrigerator in which dairy

products (cheese, butter), meat, fish or

chicken may be kept at ideal storage

conditions.

"MTPTPNFWFHFUBCMFTBOEPSGSVJUTDBObe placed in this compartment.

Air system Fan

Air system fan is designed to

ensure homogenous distribution and

circulation of the cold air inside your

refrigerator. Operation time of the

turbo cooling fan may vary depending

on the properties of your product.

While the turbo fan works only with

the compressor in some products,

the control system determines its

operation time in some products

in accordance with the cooling

requirement. This situation is explained

on a separate warning and information

label attached on the refrigerator in

products equipped with turbo fans

running under different conditions than

the compressor.”

6Maintenance and cleaning

A/FWFSVTFHBTPMJOFCFO[FOFPSsimilar substances for cleaning

purposes.

BWe recommend that you unplug the

appliance before cleaning.

B/FWFSVTFBOZTIBSQBCSBTJWFinstrument, soap, household

cleaner, detergent and wax polish for

cleaning.

Use lukewarm water to clean the

cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it

dry.

Use a damp cloth wrung out in

a solution of one teaspoon of

bicarbonate of soda to one pint of

water to clean the interior and wipe it

dry.

BMake sure that no water enters the

lamp housing and other electrical

items.

BIf your refrigerator is not going to be

used for a long period of time, unplug

the power cable, remove all food,

clean it and leave the door ajar.

Check door seals regularly to ensure

they are clean and free from food

particles.

ATo remove door racks, remove all the

contents and then simply push the

door rack upwards from the base.

Protection of plastic

surfaces

Do not put the liquid oils or oil-cooked

meals in your refrigerator in unsealed

containers as they damage the

plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. In

case of spilling or smearing oil on the

plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the

relevant part of the surface at once

with warm water.
