4. Preparation
4.1 Things to be done
for energy saving
A
Connecting the product
to electric energy saving
systems is risky as it may
cause damage on the
product.
• Do not leave the doors of your
refrigerator open for a long
time.
• Do not put hot food or drinks in
your refrigerator.
• Do not overload the refrigerator.
Cooling capacity will fall when
the air circulation inside is
hindered.
• Do not place the refrigerator in
places subject to direct sunlight.
Install the product at least 30
cm away from heat sources
such as hobs, ovens, heater
cores and stoves and at least 5
cm away from electrical ovens.
• Pay attention to store your
food in refrigerator in closed
containers.
• You can load maximum
amount of food to the
freezer compartment of the
refrigerator by removing the
freezer compartment drawers.
Declared energy consumption
value of the refrigerator was
determined with the freezer
compartment drawers
removed,except if available
bottom drawer and with
maximum amount of food
loaded.
• There is no risk in using a
shelf or drawer suitable for the
shapes and sizes of the foods to
be frozen.
• Thawing frozen food in fridge
compartment will both provide
energy saving and preserve the
food quality.
• The baskets/drawers that
are provided with the chill
compartment must always be in
use for low energy consumption
and for better storage
conditions.
• Food contact with the
temperature sensor in the
freezer compartment may
increase energy consumption of
the appliance. Thus any contact
with the sensor(s) must be
avoided.
CThe ambient temperature
of the room where you
install the refrigerator
should at least be
5°C. Operating your
refrigerator under colder
conditions than this is not
recommended.
CInside of your refrigerator
must be cleaned
thoroughly.
CIf two coolers are to be
installed side by side,
there should be at least
4 cm distance between
them.

16
4.2 Initial use
Before starting to use the product,
check that all preparations are
made in accordance with the
instructions in sections "Important
instructions for safety and
environment" and "Installation".
• Clean the interior of the
refrigerator as recommended in
the “Maintenance and cleaning”
section. Check that inside of it is
dry before operating it.
• Plug the refrigerator into the
grounded wall outlet. When
the door is opened the interior
illumination will turn on.
• Run the refrigerator without
putting any food for 6 hours
and do not open its door unless
certainly required.
• Due to temperature change as
a result of opening/closing the
product door during operation,
condensation on the door/body
shelves and the glass containers
is normal.
CYou will hear a noise
when the compressor
starts up. The liquids 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.
CFront edges of the
refrigerator may feel
warm. This is normal.
These areas are designed
to be warm to avoid
condensation.
CFor energy efficiency, it
is recommmended to
remove top shelf and
load food on the shelf
below.Net volume of your
appliance is declared
without top two flaps and
the top shelf in place.
Place two ice pack ( if
provided ) directly on the
top of frozen food to be
stored on top shelf
CIn some models, the
instrument panel
automatically turns off
5 minutes after the door
has closed. It will be
reactivated when the door
has opened or pressed on
any key.

5. Using your refrigerator
5.1 Temperature setting button
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the
following reasons;
• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door
and leaving the door open for
long periods,
• Foods put into the refrigerator
without decreasing the
temperature to room
temperature.
• The location of the refrigerator
in the room (eg. exposing to
sunlight)
You may adjust the varying
interior temperature using the
thermostate. If the ambient
temperature is higher than 32°C,
switch the thermostate button to
maximum position.
5.2 Defrost
It is normal when ice particles
form on the back wall during the
operation. These do not need to
be scratched or wiped out. Your
refrigerator makes automatical
defrost. Water formed after
defrost flows into the evaporation
container via the drain pipe
through the water collecting
chute, and here it evaporates
automatically.
• Check periodically whether the
evaporation pipe is clogged and
unclog it using the stick in the
hole if necessary.

18
5.3 Illumination lamp
To change the Bulb/LED used for
illumination of your refrigerator,
call your AuthorisedService.
The lamp(s) used in this appliance
is not suitable for household room
illumination. The intended purpose
of this lamp is to assist the user to
place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/
freezer in a safe and comfortable
way.
The lamps used in this appliance
have to withstand extreme physical
conditions such as temperatures
below -20 °C.
(only chest and upright freezer)

6. Maintenance
and cleaning
Service life of the product extends
and frequently faced problems
decrease if cleaned at regular
intervals.
BWARNING: Unplug the
product before cleaning it.
• Never use gasoline, benzene or
similar substances for cleaning
purposes.
• Never use any sharp and
abrasive tools, soap, household
cleaners, detergent and wax
polish for cleaning.
• Dissolve one teaspoon of
carbonate in half litre of water.
Soak a cloth with the solution
and wrung it thoroughly. Wipe
the interior of the refrigerator
with this cloth and the dry
thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters
the lamp housing and other
electrical items.
• If you will not use the
refrigerator for a long period of
time, unplug it, remove all food
inside, clean it and leave the
door ajar.
• Check regularly that the door
gaskets are clean. If not, clean
them.
• To remove door and body
shelves, remove all of its
contents.
• Remove the door shelves by
pulling them up. After cleaning,
slide them from top to bottom to
install.
• Never use cleaning agents or
water that contain chlorine to
clean the outer surfaces and
chromium coated parts of
the product. Chlorine causes
corrosion on such metal
surfaces
6.1 Avoiding bad odours
Materials that may cause odour
are not used in the production of
our refrigerators. However, due
to inappropriate food preserving
conditions and not cleaning the
inner surface of the refrigerator
as required can bring forth the
problem of odour. Pay attention to
following to avoid this problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean
is important. Food residuals,
stains, etc. can cause odour.
Therefore, clean the refrigerator
with carbonate dissolved in
water every 15 days.Never use
detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed
containers.Microorganisms
spreading out from uncovered
containers can cause
unpleasant odours.
• Never keep the food that have
expired best before dates and
spoiled in the refrigerator.
6.2 Protecting the
plastic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-
cooked meals in your refrigerator
in unsealed containers as they
damage the plastic surfaces of
the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or
smeared onto the plastic surfaces,
clean and rinse the relevant part
of the surface at once with warm
water.
