THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Information about New Generation Cooling Technology
Fridges with new-generation cooling technology have a different
operating system to static fridges. Other (static) fridges may
experience a build up of ice in the freezer compartment due to
door openings and humidity in the food. In such fridges, regular
defrosting is required; the fridge must be switched off, the frozen
food moved to a suitable container and the ice which has formed
in the freezer compartment removed.
In fridges with new-generation cooling technology, a fan blows dry
cold air evenly throughout the fridge and freezer compartments. The
cold air cools your food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity
and ice build-up.
In the refrigerator compartment, air blown by the fan, located at
the top of the refrigerator compartment, is cooled while passing
through the gap behind the air duct. At the same time, the air is
blown out through the holes in the air duct, evenly spreading cool
air throughout the refrigerator compartment.
There is no air passage between the freezer and refrigerator
compartments, therefore preventing the mixing of odours.
As a result, your fridge, with new-generation cooling technology,
provides you with ease of use as well as a huge volume and
aesthetic appearance.
PART - 2.
If your refrigerator includes a fan condenser
The condenser of your fridge is placed at the bottom
of cabinet. As a result of that, assemble the spacer
by xing it to holes on the cover bottom panel and
turn 90° that’s shown below gure for arranging the
distance between the refrigerator and the back wall at
where you place the fridge. You can move the fridge
towards the back wall until that point.
The distance between the appliance and back wall
must be a maximum of 75 mm.
Before Using your Fridge
• When using your fridge 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 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.
Plastic for distance setting

EN -9-
Thermostat Setting
The freezer and refrigerator thermostats automatically
regulate the temperature inside the compartments.
Rotate the knob to a higher position, from 1 to 5, to
obtain colder temperatures. During cooler seasons,
set the thermostat to lower positions to reduce energy
consumption.
Thermostat knob
Temperature Adjustment Warnings
• 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,
the quantity of food kept inside the fridge and
the ambient temperature in the location of your
fridge.
• In order to allow your fridge to reach the
operating temperature after being connected
to mains, do not open the doors frequently
or place large quantities of food in the fridge.
Please note that, depending on the ambient temperature, it may take 24 hours for your
fridge to reach the operating temperature.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge
when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your
fridge will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the
ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C - 43°C) intervals
stated in the standards, according to the climate
class displayed on the information label. We do
not recommend operating your appliance out of
the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling
effectiveness.
Notes:
This fridge is designed to work in all ambient temperatures. In ambient temperatures
below -5 oC, do not place fresh food in the refrigerator compartment because the food
will have a temperature close to the ambient temperature and will freeze. Food can be stored
up to -5 oC in the refrigerator compartment. Food must be stored in the freezer compartment
when the ambient temperature is below -5 oC.
This appliance is designed to work at 43 oC ambient temperature with no problems.
Below -5 oC ambient temperature, do not use the refrigerator compartment as the foods
that you put into there will freeze. You can continue using the freezer compartment.
Door open alarm function
If cooler or freezer door is opened more than 2 minutes , appliance sounds ‘beep beep’.
Climate
Class Ambient Temperature oC
T Between 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
N Between 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)

Accessories
The Icematic
• Pull the lever towards you and remove the
ice maker tray
• Fill with water to the marked level
• Hold the left end of the lever and set the
ice-tray on the icebox
• When ice cubes have formed, twist the lever
to drop the ice cubes into the icebox.
Note:
Do not ll the icebox with water in order to make ice. It can be broken.
The movement of the ice maker may be difcult while the refrigerator is running. In such
a case should be cleaned by removing the glass shelves.
Removing the icemaker
• Take out of the freezer glass shelves
• Remove the icemaker by dragging left or
right on the shelf.
You can remove the icemaker to use a larger
volume of the freezer compartment.
The Chiller Shelf
Keeping food in the Chiller compartment, instead
of the freezer or refrigerator compartments, allows
food to retain freshness and avour for longer, while
preserving its fresh appearance. When the Chiller
tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash with water.
(Water freezes at 0°C, but food containing salt or
sugar freezes at temperatures lower than this).
The Chiller compartment is usually used for storing
foods such as raw sh, lightly pickled food, rice, and
so on.
Do not put food you want to freeze or ice trays (to make ice) in the Chiller
compartment.
To remove the Chiller Shelf:
• Pull the chiller shelf towards you by sliding it
on the rails.
• Pull the chiller shelf up from the rail and remove
it from the fridge.
After the chiller shelf is removed, there will be
space for up to 20kg of food to be placed in the
fridge.

EN -11-
The Fresh Dial
If the crisper is full, the fresh dial located in front of the
crisper should be opened. This allows the air in the
crisper and the humidity rate to be controlled, to increase
the life of food within.
The dial, located behind the shelf, must be opened if any
condensation is seen on the glass shelf.
Fresh dial
(In some models)
Visual and text descriptions in the accessories section may vary according
to the model of your appliance.
Refrigerator Compartment
It is sufcient to set the fridge thermostat to position ‘2’ or ‘3’ for normal operatingconditions.
• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in
sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of
the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room
temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will
develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean sh are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass
shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best
storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables
(green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana,
peach, apricot, g etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an
uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables.
Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should
package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air ow passage.
ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCEPART - 3.

slot on top of the switch rmly as shown in the
picture. To deactivate “sabbath” mode, remove
the lever gently.
Sabbath mode

EN -12-
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the
refrigerator.
Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are
kept in the fridge. Place them in the fridge when they
are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge
will increases, reducing the fridge’s efciency. Covering food
and drink also preserves their avour and aroma.
Do not allow food to come into contact with the
temperature sensor, which is located in the refrigerator
compartment, in order to keep the refrigerator compartment
at optimum temperature.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efcient way to store the major food
groups in your refrigerator compartment.
Food Maximum storage time How and where to store
Vegetables and fruits 1 week Vegetable bin
Meat and sh 2 - 3 Days Wrap in plastic foil, bags, or in a meat
container and store on the glass shelf
Fresh cheese 3 - 4 Days On the designated door shelf
Butter and margarine 1 week On the designated door shelf
Bottled products e.g.
milk and yoghurt
Until the expiry date
recommended by the
producer
On the designated door shelf
Eggs 1 month On the designated egg shelf
Cooked food All shelves
Freezer Compartment
• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and 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 polythene bags and
plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on food packaging when storing frozen
food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months
from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer
as soon as possible.
Temperature sensor area

EN -13-
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal
swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that
the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting,
how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport
the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the
packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated
on the appliance label.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is in
contact with the cooling surface.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, turn the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer.
• It is generally sufcient to set the thermostat to the coldest setting for a further 24 hours
after placing the fresh food in the freezer. After this time, reduce the thermostat knob
setting if required.
• Attention. To save energy, if you are only freezing small amounts of food, do not set the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting.
In some models: While loading the freezer compartment, do not ll above
the guidelines otherwise the door will not close properly. If the freezer
compartment door does not close properly, excess ice will form in the freezer
compartment. To prevent the problem recurring, clear the ice and make
sure the door is fully closed.
Also, not closing the freezer and/or fridge compartment doors will increase
your energy consumption.
If the lower shelf of the freezer door is removed and
food obstructs the air suction hole, the efciency of
your fridge will reduce.
Therefore, take care while loading the freezer
compartment and make sure not to cover the air
suction hole.
Important note:
• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• 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 of time.
Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should
be added after the food has thawed.
Air suction hole

EN -14-
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine,
calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in
plastic folios or bags.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efcient way to store the major

• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Clicking noise occurs: When the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may cause
more noise for a short time when it is rst activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing occurs: Due to the ow of the refrigerant in the tubes
of the system.
Water owing noise occurs: Due to water owing to the evaporation container. This
noise is normal during defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs: During normal operation of the system due to the circulation
of air.
There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge
Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the fridge.
• The fridge doors are opened frequently. Humidity of the room will enter the fridge each
time the doors are opened. Humidity increases faster if the doors are opened frequently,
especially if the humidity of the room is high.
• There is a build-up of water droplets on the rear wall. This is normal after automatic
defrosting (in Static Models).

The doors are not opening or closing properly
Check if:
• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
• The door compartments, shelves and drawers are placed properly
• The door gaskets are broken or torn
• Your fridge is level.
The edges of the fridge in contact with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm weather), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may
become warmer during operation of the compressor. This is normal.
Important Notes:
• In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged in again, the
gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator will destabilise, causing the compressor
protective thermal element to open. Your refrigerator will start to operate normally after
5 minutes.
• If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (such as during holidays),
disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent
the formation of mildew and odour.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• This appliance is designed for domestic use and for the stated purposes only. It is not
suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way
that does not comply with these instructions, we emphasise that the manufacturer and
the dealer will not be responsible for any repair or 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
a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen
food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will save
energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered,
the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy.
Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as warm
air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller)
closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
