• We do not take the responsibility of the damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, Gas ovens and heater cores, and should be at
least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm between them to prevent
humidity on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a suitable place so that at least 15 cm is
available on the upper side.
• The adjustable front legs should be adjusted to make sure your appliance is level and stable.You can adjust
the legs by turning them clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should be done before placing food
in the fridge.

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 e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.
General information about NO FROST technology
No-Frost fridges dier from other static fridges in their operating principle.
In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge in the door openings and the humidity of the food causes
freezing in the freezer compartment. To defrost the snow and ice in the freezer compartment, you should turn
o the fridge, take the food that needs to be kept in a constant temperature o the fridge, and remove the ice
gathered in the freezer compartment periodically.
The situation is completely dierent in no-frost fridges. Dry and cold air is blown to the fridge and freezer
compartments homogeneously from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously even
between the shelves cools all your food equally and uniformly, thus prevents humidity and freezing.
Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, besides its huge volume and stylish appearance.
