Super Freeze and low ambient switch
0:OFF position.
I : ON position.
a) Super freezing: If ambient temparature is more than 18 °C , this switch can be used
as superfreeze switch.
The appliance will work longer when superfreeze button is switched on for freezing the
fresh food. So after you get the cold condition (minimum 24 hours later) superfreeze
button should be switched off because of energy saving.
b) Low ambient performance: If ambient temparature is less than 18°C , this button
should be switched on for improving low ambient performence.
If ambiant temparature is more than 18°C this button should be switched off because
of energy saving (except freezing fresh food)
Please not that:
For energy saving do not switch on “I” position, If you do not need.

Warnings about Temperature Adjustments
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in
terms of its efciency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings
and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.
• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature
without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not open doors
of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period.
• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your
fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an
energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the
standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not
recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of
cooling effectiveness.

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.

• The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which is
working into the same socket.
The appliance performs poorly;
Check if;
• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The doors are not closed perfectly,
• There are not enough ventilation ducts on the kitchen unit as mentioned in the Installation
Manual.
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 if;
Replacing The Light Led (If the illumination is occured
via LED strip)

• The appliance is installed rmly as described in the installation manual.
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator;
Check if;
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• In case of a sudden power loss or disconnecting and reconnecting of the plug to the
electrical socket, the compressor protective thermal element will be opened as the
pressure of the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator has not yet been balanced.
4 or 5 minutes later, your refrigerator will start to operate; this is normal.
• If you won’t be using your refrigerator for a long time (such as on summer holidays),
please disconnect the plug from the socket. Clean your refrigerator as per Part 4 of this
document and leave the door open to prevent any humidication or odor formation.
• If there is still a problem with your refrigerator although you have followed the instructions
in this book, please consult your nearest authorized service center.
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).
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
causes energy saving. If the frozen food is put out, it causes wastage of energy.
4.When placing, food and drinks they must be covered.
5.When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briey as possible.
6.Keep the covers closed for the different compartments to avoid changing the temperature
of each section. (crisper, chillier ...etc ).
7.Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
