Installing and operating your fridge
Before starting to use your fridge freezer, you should pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• Your fridge freezer may have a smell when it is operated for the rst time. This is normal
and the smell will fade away when your fridge freezer starts to cool.
• Before connecting your fridge freezer, ensure that the information on the data plate
(voltage and connected load) matches that of the mains electricity supply. If in doubt,
consult a qualied electrician.
• Insert the plug into a socket with an efcient ground connection. If the socket has no
ground contact or the plug does not match, we recommend that you consult a qualied
electrician for assistance.
• The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. Power supply
(AC) and voltage at the operating point must match with the details on the name plate of
the appliance (name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).
• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores,
and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm between
them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior, before use (see
Cleaning and Maintenance).
• The installation procedure into the kitchen unit is given in the installation
manual. This product is intended to be used in proper kitchen units only.

parts in the fridge after cleaning.
• Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at the rear)
by turning it 90° (as shown in the gure) to prevent the condenser from
touching the wall.
• The refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free space not
exceeding 75 mm.

EN - 6 -
Before using your fridge freezer
• When using your fridge freezer for the rst time, or after transportation, keep
it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains.
This allows efcient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge freezer may have a smell when it is operated for the rst time. This is normal
and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.
Information about New Generation Cooling Technology
Fridges with new generation cooling technology have a different working
system than static fridges. In normal fridges, humid air that enters into
fridge and the water vapor that comes out from the foods, accumulates
frost formation in freezer compartment. In order to melt this frost, in other
words defrost, the fridge has to be stopped. During the stopping period,
to keep the foods cold, user has to extract the food to outside of fridge
and user has to clear the ice during this period.
In the fridges with new generation cooling technology, situation in the
freezer compartment is completely different. With the aid of fan, cold and
dry air is blown out through many points into the freezer compartment.
As a result of the homogenously blown cold air, even in the spaces
between shelves, foods are frozen equally and correctly. On the other
hand there will be no frost formation.
In the refrigerator compartment, there will be nearly same conguration
with freezer compartment. Air, that is emitted with the fan, located at the
top of refrigerator compartment, is cooled while passing through the gap
behind the air duct. At the same time, air is blown out through the holes
on the air duct so that cooling process is successfully completed in the
refrigerator compartment. Holes on the air duct are designed such that
the air distribution becomes homogenous in this compartment.
As there is no air passage between freezer and refrigerator compartment, there will be no
odor mixing.
As a result of these, your fridge with new generation cooling technology, gives you, ease of
use beside the huge volume and esthetic appearance.

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food and for storing frozen food for the
period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.
• When freezing fresh food, wrap and seal the food properly; the packaging should be air
tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade, if in doubt
double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for
upper and middle section. For bottom section, please use lower basket.
• 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).

EN - 11 -
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, Set the
refrigerator at 2 oC for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 2 oC for 24 hours is
generally sufcient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.
• 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.
• 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 food is 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 has thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible
in order to consume or to freeze once again.
• Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not
be opened easily. It’s quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be
opened easily.
Important note:
• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked
after being thawed they must NEVER be re-frozen.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar,
assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.)
changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period.
Therefore, the frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired spice
should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine,
calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be
frozen in plastic folios or bags.

button will blink and buzzer will sound beep.
MEANING WHY WHAT TO DO
"Failure
Warning"
There is/are some
part(s) Out of order
Call Service for
assistance as soon as
possible.
If your fridge-freezer is not operating;
• Is there a power failure?
• Is the plug connected to the socket correctly?
• Is the fuse of the socket to which the plug is connected or the main fuse blown?
• Is there any failure at the socket? To check this, plug your refrigerator to a socket this is
surely operating.
If your fridge-freezer is not cooling enough;
• Is the temperature adjustment right?
• Are the doors of your fridge-freezer opened frequently and left open for a long while?
• Are the doors of fridge-freezer closed properly?
• Did you put a dish or food on your fridge-freezer so that it contacts the rear wall of your
fridge-freezer so as to prevent the air circulation?
• Is your fridge-freezer lled excessively?
• Is there adequate distance between your fridge-freezer and the rear and side walls?
• Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specied in the operating manual?
If the food in your refrigerator compartment is over cooled
• Is the temperature adjustment right?
• Are there many food recently put inside the freezer compartment? If so, your fridge-
freezer may over cool the food inside the fridge compartment as it will operate longer to
cool these food.
If your fridge-freezer is operating too loudly;
To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises
from your fridge-freezer at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required
cooling level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically. If the noises persist;
• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
• Is there anything behind your fridge-freezer?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes
if this is the case.
• Are the items placed on your fridge-freezer vibrating?
Normal Noises;
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• During automatic defrosting.

EN - 17 -
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor
operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.
Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the ow of the refrigerant in the
tubes of the system.
Water ow noise: Normal ow noise of water owing to the evaporation container during
defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in No-Frost refrigerator
during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge-freezer;
• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge-
freezer?
• Are the fridge-freezer doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge-
freezer when the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the
doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
If the doors are not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
• Is your fridge-freezer on a level surface?
If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;
Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer
during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Compressor protection function will be activated after sudden power breakdowns or after
unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet.
Your fridge-freezer will start after 5 minutes, there is nothing to worry about.
• If you will not use your fridge-freezer for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug
it. Clean your fridge-freezer according to Part 4 and leave the door open to prevent
humidity and smell.

Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not
near a 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. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste
of energy.
4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity
increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering
drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too
frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on
unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc )
closed
7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
8. Energy consumption of your appliance is declared without drawers and fully loaded in
freezer compartmant.
9. For saving energy, do not use volume between the load limit and the door, along the
load limit line. Load limit line is also used in energy consumption declaration.
