and freezer compartment.By rotating the knob from position 1. to 5., colder temperatures
can be obtained.
Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.
• For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob
between minimum and medium position.(1-3)
• For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knop medium
position.(3-4)
Note that; the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how
often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If
required,change the temperature setting.
The freezer**** of the refrigerator can cool up to -18°C and more.
• Normally set this switch to ‘0’ position. Except when the
ambient temperature is low like in winter. (ie.below
16°C) or when the freezer temperature needs to be
maintained lower. In that case, turn the switch to ‘1’
position ON.
• To set super switch ON that is on the thermostat box, press the switch down to ‘1’
position. The switch will lit.
• When the freezer compartment is cooled down to sufficient temperature, or the weather
gets hot, turn the super switch off to save electrical consumption.
• When you first switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable cooling, the appliance
should work 24 hours continuously until it cools down to sufficient temperature.

FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE
PART- 3.
Refrigerator compartment
• The refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for a 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 fruit and vegetables into the crisper without packaging.
• To avoid cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door
open for a long time.
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.
• 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).
• While freezing fresh foods (i.e meat,fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you
will use in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to
consume them in as short period of time.
• 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
sufficiently 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.

EN - 11 -
• 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.

EN - 12 -
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
PART- 4.
• Disconnect unit from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.
• The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned periodically
using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and
water Do not clean them in the washing machine.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.After washing,
rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning
operations have been completed reconnect the plug of the unit
with dry hands.
• You should clean the condenser with broom at least twice
a year in order to provide energy saving and increase
the productivity.

EN - 13 -
Defrosting
For fridge compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation ; the
defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evoparates 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 flowing out.
• You can also pour ½ glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.
For freezer compartment;
The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically. The
freezer compartment should be cleaned in the way as the refrigerator compartment, with
the defrost operations of the compartment at least twice a year.
For this;
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to 5. position to freeze the foods
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and
kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life.
Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
• Switch the refrigerator off at the socket outlet and pull the main plug
• Leave the door open and to accelerate the defrosting process one or more basins of
warm water can be placed in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit and water tray, refit the tray plug and set the thermostat knob
to 5 position.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
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 refrigerator does not operate ;
Check that ;
• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is not disconnected ,
• The thermostat setting is on “•” position,
• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know
which is working into the same socket.
What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly ;
Check that ;
• You have not overloaded the appliance ,
• The doors are closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
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 your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise: (For no frost/frost free appliances)
During automatic defrosting.
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
The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash:
This noise is caused by the flow of the fridge freezer in the tubes of the system.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises
from your fridge at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling
level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically.
PART- 6.

EN - 16 -
If the noises persist;
• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
• Is there anything behind your fridge?
• 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 vibrating?
If you hear any other noises check that:
• The appliance is level
• Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
Water flow noise: (For no frost/frost free appliances) Normal flow noise of water flowing
to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blow Noise: If the appliance has fan in freezer/cooler /bottom cabinet compartments.
This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of the system due to the
circulation of air.
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)
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• While power cut, to prevent any compressor problem you should plug out the
refrigerator. You should delay plugging in 5 – 10 minutes after you power supply. If
you plug out the refrigerator for a reason you should wait at least 5 min to replug. It is
important for avoiding damage to refrigerator’s components.
• 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 specified intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a
defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), put the
thermostat to “•” position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open
to prevent humidity and smell.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please
consult to the nearest Authorised Service.
• 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 briefly 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.
