EN - 6 -
PART - 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Thermostat setting
The fridge freezer thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the
compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be
obtained.
Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.
1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob
between the minimum and medium position.
3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob
to the medium position.
5 : For freezing fresh food. The appliance will work for longer. So, after the desired
condition is reached, return the knob to the previous setting.
Before Using your fridge freezer
• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation,
keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging
into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents
damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal
and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.
If super switch is available: In order to ensure proper operation with an ambient
temperature below 20°C, press the button next to the
thermostat. Press the button again to turn it off when
the temperature is high (above 20°C).

Ice tray
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown
below to remove the ice cubes.
Accessories
Warnings about temperature adjustments
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge freezer in environments colder
than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door
openings and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge freezer.
• When you first 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 a large quantity of food inside.
• A 5 minute delay function is included to prevent damage to the compressor of your
fridge freezer, when you unplug it and then plug it in again to operate it, or when an
energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge freezer will start to operate normally after 5
minutes.
• Your fridge freezer is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals
stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information
label. It is not recommended that your
fridge freezer is operated in the
environments which are out of the stated
temperature intervals. This will reduce the
cooling efficiency of the fridge.
• This appliance is designed for use at an
ambient temperature within the 16°C -
32°C range.
Climate
Class Ambient Temperature (°C)
TBetween 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
NBetween 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)
Plastic scraper
After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer
compartment. The frost accumulated in the freezer should be removed
periodically. Use the plastic scraper provided if necessary. Do not use
sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the
refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit.
All written and visual descriptions in the accessories may vary according
to the appliance model.

EN - 8 -
Fridge compartment
• To reduce humidity and the consequent increase in frost, never place liquids in
unsealed containers in the fridge compartment. Frost tends to concentrate in the
coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and in time will more frequent defrosting
will be required.
• Never place warm food in the fridge compartment. Warm food should be allowed
to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air
circulation in the fridge compartment.
• Nothing should touch the back wall of the appliance as it will cause frost and
packaging to stick to it. Do not open the fridge door too frequently.
• Arrange meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which
you intend to use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the fridge compartment.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.
Freezer compartment
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time
and making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible of food to be
frozen is in contact with the cooling surface.
• Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you
will use in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to
consume them in as short period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb the frozen
foods.
• For storing the frozen foods;the instructions shown on frozen food packages
should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should
not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable
temperatures and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the
quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the
shortest possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is
probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that
the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, 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 package and never exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.
Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not be
opened easily. It’s quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be
opened easily.

EN - 9 -
PART 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned periodically using a solution
of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and
water Do not clean them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After wash-
ing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have
finished cleaning, reconnect the plugto the mains supply with
dry hands.
• Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year.
This will help you to save on energy costs and increase
productivity.
THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.

EN - 10 -
Defrosting
Fridge compartment;
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation;
the water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with
the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring 1/2 glass of water down it.
Freezer compartment;
The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (Use
the plastic scraper provided). The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the same
way as the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost function of the compartment at least
twice a year.
For this:
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to “5” position to freeze the food
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen food should be wrapped in several layers of paper and
kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten its storage life.
Remember to use this food within a relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “•” or unplug the unit. Leave the door open until
the unit is completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, one or more bowls of warm water can be
placed in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to the MAX position.

PART - 6. BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
If your fridge freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore to save
time and money, check the following, before calling an electrician.
What to do if your appliance does not operate
Check that:
• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected,
• The thermostat setting is on “•” position ,
• The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug the appliance in to another socket
which you know is working.
What to do if your appliance performs poorly
Check that:
• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The thermostat setting is on position “1” (if so set the thermostat dial to a suitable
value).
• The doors are closed properly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space at the rear and side walls.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises
Compressor noise
• Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
• Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it starts.
Bubbling noise and splash:
• This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
• If you hear any other noises check that:
- The appliance is level
- Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
- The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator,
Check that:
• The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the
drain hole).
Recommendations
• If you do not intend to use the appliance for long time (for example during the
summer holidays) unplug and clean the appliance and leave the door open to
prevent the formation of mildew and smells.

EN - 13 -
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug it from the main socket (for cleaning and
when the doors are left open).
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please
consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• The lifetime of your appliance is stated and declared by the Department of Industry.
The length of time for retaining parts required for the proper operation of the
appliance is 10 years.
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 (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
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. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in
a waste of energy.
4.Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise
humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also
covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
5.Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too
frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch
on unnecessarily often.
6.Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc )
closed
7.Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
