Information on the frost free technology
Frost Free refrigerators are different from other static
refrigerators in terms of their operational system.
In normal refrigerators, in the freezing section, the
humidity from opening and closing the refrigerator door
when putting food in or out causes frost to form inside
the freezer section. For melting frost that has formed, it
is necessary to carry out processes such as turning off
the refrigerator, taking out the food that needs to be
kept cold during this process and removing the
accumulated frost.
In the case of frost free refrigerators, it is an entirely
different freezer compartment. The dry and cold air is
blown to many points by a fan. The cold air is distributed
evenly in the inter-spaces among shelves making sure
that all your food is cooled equally and prevents frosting.
The cooling compartment is cooled statically.

EN - 8 -
PART 2. USER INFORMATION
Temperature settings
Cooling compartment thermostat control
It ensures that the temperature settings in the cooling and freezing compartments of your
refrigerator can be performed automatically. It may be set to any value ranging from the
values 1 to 5. As you turn the thermostat setting knob from 1 to 5, you increase the cooling
effect. To save energy in winter months, you may operate your refrigerator at a lower
position.

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. So
it reduces the energy requirements.
4– When placing, drinks and liquids they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases
in the appliance, therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and
liquids helps preserve the smell and taste.
5– When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briefly as possible.
6– Keep the covers closed of any different temperature compartment in the appliance
(crisper, chiller ...etc ).
7– Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
