• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water added
with a tea spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with
clean water and dry. Place all parts after cleaning.
Before Using your Fridge
• When it is operated for the rst time or after transportation, keep your
fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to allow efcient
operation. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the rst time; the smell will fade
away when your fridge starts to cool.
HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
PART 2.
Thermostat setting
• Thermostat automatically regulates the inside
temperature of the refrigerator compartment
and freezer compartment. By rotating the knob
from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be
obtained.
• The “ “ position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling is available.
• 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 knob 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 and freezer compartments.
If required, change the temperature setting.
• When you rst switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food
in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put
much food inside.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting
in order not to damage the compressor.
• The freezer of the refrigerator cools down to -18°C and less.

EN -7-
“Door Open” Indicator;
• The “Door Open” indicator on the lock slide indicates whether the door
is closed properly or not.
• If the red indicator is visible, the door is still open.
• If the red indicator is invisible, the door is properly closed.
• Observe that the freezer door should always be kept closed properly.
This will prevent food inside the freezer from defrosting; it will avoid
heavy ice and frost build-up inside the freezer and an unnecessary
increase in energy consumption.
Temperature indicator
In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a
temperature indicator located in the coldest area.
To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make
sure the message “OK” appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does
not appear, this means that the temperature setting has not been done properly.
Since “OK” appears in black, it will be difcult to see this indication if the
temperature indicator is badly lit. To be able to see this indication properly, there
should be enough light.
Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilisation of the
temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary, with a new temperature
setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively and wait
at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.
NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh
food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature
setting indicator. If there is an abnormal ice crystals build up (bottom wall of the appliance)
on the refrigerator compartment evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature,
frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until
compressor off periods are obtained again.
Putting food in the coldest area of the refrigerator
Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most
appropriate cooling area. The coldest area is just above the
crisper.
The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your
refrigerator.
To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure
the shelf is located at the level of this symbol, as shown in the
illustration.

EN -8-
The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by
the lower side of the sticker (head of the arrow). The
coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level
with the arrow head. The coldest area is below this
level.
As these shelves are removable, make sure they
are always at the same level with these zone limits
described on the stickers, in order to guarantee
temperatures in this area.
Each type of food has an ideal conservation
temperature and consequently a particular location to
follow.

EN -9-
FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCEPART 3.
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.

EN -10-
• 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.
• When making ice cubes, ll the ice tray with water and place in freezer compartment.
After the water completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to get
the ice cube.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
PART 4.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not pour water over the appliance.
• 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 put them in the dishwasher.
• 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 with dry
hands.

EN -11-
Defrosting
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:
WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for this
operation as they can damage the refrigeration circuit.
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment. The
frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (use the
plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the
efciency of the freezer.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” 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.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “ “ and switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the
compartment.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.
Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.
• Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to position “5”.
After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.

EN -12-
Replacing the Light bulb

accessories, vegetable bins etc.) or x them
into the fridge against shocks using bands
during re-positioning and transportation.
BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
PART 6.
If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the
following.
The appliance does not operate,
Check if;
• There is a power failure,
• The mains plug is not properly plugged in, or is loose
• The thermostat setting is on position “ “,
• The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which is
working into the same socket.
Replacing LED lighting
If your refrigerator has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by
authorized personnel only.

EN -13-
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;
• The appliance is installed rmly as described in the Installation Manual.
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
f 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).
If your fridge is not cooling enough;
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.
Climate
Class Ambient Temperature oC
TBetween 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
NBetween 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)
Recommendations
• In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the “cooling section” of
refrigerators is positioned inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. When
the compressor is working, this wall is covered with frost or water drops. Do not worry.
This is quite normal. The appliance should be defrosted only if an excessively thick ice
layer forms on the back wall.
• If the appliance is not used for a long time (for example during the summer holidays), set
the thermostat knob to position “ “. Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door
open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.

EN -14-
Tips For Saving Energy
1.Install the appliance in a coll, well vantilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near
heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2.Allow ward 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, drinks and slops they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases at
the appliance. Therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and slops
helps to save smell and taste.
5.When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briey as possible.
6.Keep close the covers of any different temrepature compartment in the appliance (crisper,
chiller ...etc ).
7.Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
