Refrigerator compartment
Refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for few days.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.
• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.
• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator.
• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf
just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
• To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door
open for a long time.
Freezer compartment
Freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the
period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging
should be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade,
in doubt double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen
food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage
time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a
sufciently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door
to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is
indicated on the name plate ( see Freezing Capacity).
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• When purchasing and storing frozen food products; ensure that the packaging is
not damaged.
• The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen foods are
indicated on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.
• Once the food is thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible
in order to consume or to freeze once again.
• Storage: If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the drawers and
store the items directly on the cooling tubes. This will enable you to make use of the
entire volume of the compartment.

EN - 13 -
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation; the defrost
water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with
defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator
instead of owing out.
• You can also pour ½ glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be removed
periodically.
• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator
circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper provided.
• When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be done.
• Before defrosting operation, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping them in
sheets of newspaper in order to obtain its temperature steady for long time.
• To accelerate the defrosting process place one or more basins of warm water in the
freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.
• Once the unit has been defrosted, place the food into freezer and remember to consume
them in a short period of time.

BEFORE CALLING YOU'RE AFTER SALES
SERVICE
PART - 6.
If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the
following, before calling an electrician to save time and money.
What to do if your appliance does not operate;
Check that;
• There is no power,
• The fuse has not blow in the plug,
• The fuse box for the house to ensure this has not tripped.
What to do if your appliance performs poorly;
Check that;
• You have overloaded the appliance ,
• The thermostat setting is “1” position (if so set the thermostat dial suitable value)
• The doors are closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
Replacing LED lighting
If your refrigerator has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by
authorized personnel only.

EN - 15 -
If there is noise;
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling
sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite normal. If these
sounds are different check that;
• The appliance is well levelled
• Nothing is touching the rear.
• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator,
Check that;
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged(Use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole)
Recommendations
• The compressor protection thermal fuse will cutout after sudden power breakdowns or
after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilised.
This is quite normal, and the fridge will restart after 4 or 5 minutes.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or
icing may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor
in specied intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a defrosting operation
unless the icing is excessive.
• If the appliance is not used for a long time (for example during the summer holidays),
unplug from main socket. Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open to
prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
• If there is still a problem with your refrigerator although you have followed the instructions
in this book, please consult you're nearest authorized service center.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only
at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If
the consumer use the appliance in a way that does not comply with these features, we
emphasise that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair and
failure within the guarantee period.
Tips for saving energy
1– Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not
near heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2– Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3– When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low
temperature of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is
thawing. So it reduces the energy requirements.
4– When placing, drinks and liquids they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases
at the appliance. Therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and
liquids helps preserve the smell and taste.
5– When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briey as possible.
6– Keep the covers closed of any different temperature compartment in the appliance
(crisper, chiller ...etc ).
7– Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
