• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent
moisture and odors.
The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food and for storing frozen food for the
period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.
• When freezing fresh food, wrap and seal the food properly; the packaging should be air
tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade, if in doubt
double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for
upper and middle section. For bottom section, please use lower basket.
• 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).
• 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
suciently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door
to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• 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 food is 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.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.
• Once the food has thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible
in order to consume or to freeze once again.
• 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.
• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked
after being thawed they must NEVER be re-frozen.
• 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.
Therefore, the frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired spice
should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine,
calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be
frozen in plastic folios or bags.

If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the
following.
• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected,
• The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug the appliance in to another socket which you
know is working.
• 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.
• Normal motor noise: This noise means that the compressor operates normally
• Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it starts.
• This noise is caused by the ow 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.
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
• In case of a sudden power loss or disconnecting and reconnecting of the plug to the
electrical socket, the compressor protective thermal element will be opened as the
pressure of the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator has not yet been balanced.
4 or 5 minutes later, your refrigerator will start to operate; this is normal.
• If you won’t be using your refrigerator for a long time (such as on summer holidays),
please disconnect the plug from the socket. Clean your refrigerator as per Part 4 of this
document and leave the door open to prevent any humidication or odor formation.
• If there is still a problem with your refrigerator although you have followed the instructions
in this book, please consult your nearest authorized service center.

• 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.
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 dierent temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc )
closed
7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
8. Energy consumption of your appliance is
declared without drawers and fully loaded in
freezer compartmant.
9. For saving energy, do not use volume
between the load limit and the door, along the
load limit line. Load limit line is also used in
energy consumption declaration.
