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

5. Using your refrigerator
5.1 Thermostat setting button
The operating temperature is
regulated by the temperature
control.
Warm Cold
1 2 3 4 5
(Or) Min. Max.
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 should be around +5°C.
Please choose the setting
according to the desired
temperature.
Please note that there will be
different temperatures in the
cooling area.
The coldest region is immediately
above the vegetable compartment.
The interior temperature also
depends on ambient temperature,
the frequency with which the door
is opened and the amount of foods
kept inside.
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.
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,
• Food put into the refrigerator
without cooling down to the
room temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator
in the room (e.g. exposing to
sunlight).
• You may adjust the varying
interior temperature due to
such reasons by using the
thermostat. Numbers around
the thermostat button indicates
the cooling degrees.
• If the ambient temperature
is higher than 32°C, turn the
thermostat button to maximum
position.
• If the ambient temperature
is lower than 25°C, turn the
thermostat button to minimum
position.

5.2 Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the
short-term storage of fresh food
and drinks.
5.3 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 given on the
packaging of your food.
Storing frozen food
The frozen food compartment is
marked with symbol.
The frozen food compartment is
suitable for the storage of pre-
frozen food. The recommendation
for storage, as stated on the food
packaging, should be observed at
all times.
5.4 Defrost
A) Fridge compartment
Fridge compartment performs
full-automatic defrosting. Water
drops and a frosting up to 7-8 mm
can occur on the inner rear wall
of the fridge compartment while
your refrigerator cools down.
Such formation is normal as a
result of the cooling system. The
frost formation is defrosted by
performing automatic defrosting
with certain intervals thanks to the
automatic defrosting system of
the rear wall. User is not required
to scrape the frost or remove the
water drops.
Water resulting from the defrosting
passes from the water collection
groove and flows into the
evaporator through the drain pipe
and evaporates here by itself.
Check regularly to see if the drain
pipe is clogged or not and clear
it with the stick in the hole when
necessary.
Deep freezer compartment does
not perform automatic defrosting
in order to prevent decaying of the
frozen food.
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward
and without mess, thanks to a
special defrost collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a
frost layer of around 7 (1/4”) mm
has formed.
To start the defrosting procedure,
switch off the appliance at the
socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in
several layers of newspaper and
stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or
larder).
Containers of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to
speed up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hair dryers, electrical
heaters or other such electrical
appliances for defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water
collected in the bottom of the
freezer compartment. After
defrosting, dry the interior
thoroughly.
