Max. = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
The average temperature inside the
fridge should be around +5°C.
Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
Please note that there will be different
temperatures in the cooling area.
The coldest region is immediately
above the vegetable compartment.
The interior temperature also depends
on ambient temperature, the frequency
with which the door is opened and the
amount of foods kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise. For this
reason, it is recommended to close the
door again as soon as possible after
use.
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons:
• Seasonal temperatures.
• Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long
periods.
• Food put into the refrigerator
without cooling down to the room
temperature.
• The location of the refrigerator in
the room (e.g. exposing to
sunlight).
•You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons
by using the thermostat. Numbers
around the thermostat button
indicates the cooling degrees.
• If the ambient temperature is
higher than 32°C, turn the
thermostat button to maximum
position.
• If the ambient temperature is lower
than 25°C, turn the thermostat
button to minimum position.
The operating temperature is
regulated by the temperature control.

12 EN
Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the
short-term storage of fresh food and
drinks.
Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing compartment is marked
with this symbol.
You can use the appliance for
freezing fresh food as well as for
storing pre-frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations
given on the packaging of your food.
Storing frozen food
The frozen food compartment is
marked with symbol.
The frozen food compartment is
suitable for the storage of pre-
frozen food. The recommendation for
storage, as stated on the food
packaging, should be observed at all
times.
Defrost
A) Fridge compartment
Fridge compartment performs full-
automatic defrosting.
Water drops and a frosting up to 7-8
mm can occur on the inner rear wall
of the fridge compartment while your
refrigerator cools down. Such
formation is normal as a result of
the cooling system. The frost
formation is defrosted by performing
automatic defrosting with certain
intervals thanks to the automatic
defrosting system of the rear wall. User
is not required to scrape the frost or
remove the water drops.
Water resulting from the defrosting
passes from the water collection groove
and flows into the evaporator through
the drain pipe and evaporates here by
itself.
Check regularly to see if the drain
pipe is clogged or not and clear it with
the stick in the hole when necessary.

13 EN
Stopping your product
If your thermostat is equipped with
“0” position:
-Your product will stop operating
when you turn the thermostat button to
“0” (zero) position. Your product will not
start unless to you turn the thermostat
button to position “1” or one of the
other positions again.
If your thermostat is equipped with
“min” position:
- Unplug your product to stop it.
B) Freezer compartment
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order
to prevent decaying of the frozen food.
Defrosting is very straightforward and
without mess, thanks to a special
defrost collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost
layer of around 7 (1/4”) mm has formed.
To start the defrosting procedure,
switch off the appliance at the socket
outlet and pull out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a
cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Containers of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hair dryers, electrical
heaters or other such electrical
appliances for defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water
collected in the bottom of the freezer
compartment. After defrosting, dry the
interior thoroughly.
Insert the plug into the wall socket and
switch on the electricity supply.

14 EN
