CHAPTER -1: GENERAL WARNINGS
Information about new-generation cooling technology
Fridge freezers with new-generation cooling technology have a different working system than static
fridge freezers. In normal fridge freezers, humid air entering the freezer and the water vapour
emanating from the foods, turns into frost in the freezer compartment. In order to melt this frost,
in other words defrost, the fridge has to be unplugged. In order to keep foods cold during the
defrosting period, the user must store the food elsewhere and the user must clear the remaining
ice and accumulated frost.
The situation is completely different in freezer compartments equipped with new-generation cooling
technology. With the aid of fan, cold and dry air is blown throughout the freezer compartment. As a
result of the cold air that is blown easily throughout the compartment – even in the spaces between
shelves – foods are frozen equally and properly. And there will be no frost.
The conguration in the refrigerator compartment will be nearly same as the freezer compartment.
Air emitted by the fan located at the top of refrigerator compartment is cooled while passing through
the gap behind the air duct. At the same time, air is blown out through the holes on the air duct so
that cooling process is successfully completed in the refrigerator compartment. Holes on the air
duct are designed for even air distribution throughout the compartment.
Since no air passes between the freezer and refrigerator compartment, odours will not mix.
As a result, your fridge with new-generation cooling technology is easy to use and it offers you an
access to a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.
Before using your fridge freezer
• Before setting up your fridge freezer, check for any visible damage. Do not install or use your fridge freezer
if it is damaged
• When using your fridge freezer for the rst time, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before
plugging into the mains. This will allow efcient operation and prevent damage to the compressor.
• You may notice a light odour when using your fridge freezer for the rst time. This is perfectly normal and will
fade away as the fridge starts to cool.

Temperature indicator
In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in
the coldest area.
To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make sure the message “OK”
appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does not appear, this means temperature has not been set
properly
It may be difcult to see the indicator, make sure it is properly lit.Each time the temperature setting device is
changed, wait for the stabilisation of the temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary,
with a new temperature setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively and wait at
least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.
NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance,
it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal build up
of ice crystals of ice crystals (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment, evaporator (overloaded
appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until
compressor off periods are obtained again.
Store food in the coldest area of the refrigerator.
Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most appropriate
cooling area. The coldest area is just above the crisper.

CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
Refrigerator compartment
• To reduce the humidity and consequently increase frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and, in time, will require more
frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should
be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch the back wall as this will cause frost and the packages may stick to the back wall. Do not
open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned sh(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in
the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment (that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and
will ensure the best storing conditions.
• You can put fruits and vegetables into the crisper without packing.
Freezer compartment
• Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing frozen food for a long time and for
producing ice.
• To get maximum capacity for the freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for upper and middle
section. For the bottom section, please use lower basket.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, Set the refrigerator at 4 oC for 24
hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 2 oC for 24 hours is generally sufcient. After 24
hours, you can reduce the setting if required.
• Please do not place the food you that needs to be frozen next to the already frozen food.
• You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, sh, etc.) by dividing it into portions in such a way
that they can be consumed once.
• Please do not refreeze the frozen food once it has already thawed. It may pose a danger to your health as it
may cause food poisoning.
• Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You would cause the other food frozen
beforehand in the deep freeze to become putreed.
• When you buy frozen food, makes sure that they were frozen under appropriate conditions and that the
package is not torn.
• While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there is no
additional information, the food must be consumed within the shortest time possible.
• If the frozen food package was subject to humidity and has a foul smell, it might have been previously stored
under unsuitable conditions and gone rotten. Do not purchase this type of food!
• The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the ambient temperature, the frequency of the
opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food type and the time elapsed from the purchase time of
the food to the time it is placed into the freezer. Always follow the instructions on the package and never exceed
the indicated storage duration.
• During long lasting power failures, do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. During longer power
failures, do not refreeze your food and consume it as soon as possible.
• Please note: if you want to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, it will not open easily. This is a
normal occurrence. After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will open easily.
Important note:
• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just as 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, basil, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger,
garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a stronger taste when
they are stored for a long period. Therefore, just a small amount of the spice should be added or the desired
spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The food storage period is dependent on the oil used. Suitable oils include: margarine, half fat, olive oil and
butter and the unsuitable oils include: peanut oil and lard.
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufcient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced
and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase
the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, sh, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is
preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises from your fridge at this time
are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically.
If the noises persist;
• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
• Is there anything behind your fridge?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes if this is the case.
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?
Normal Noises;
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor
may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.
Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the ow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water ow noise: Normal ow noise of water owing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise
can be heard during defrosting.

CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING
Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge during normal operation of
the system due to the circulation of air.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge;
• Has the food been properly packaged? Have the containers been well dried before they were put into the
refrigerator?
• Are the doors of the refrigerator opened very frequently? When the door is opened, the humidity found in the
air in the room enters the refrigerator. Especially if the humidity rate in the room is too high, the more frequently
the door is opened the faster will be the humidication.
If the doors are not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn?
• Is your fridge on a level surface?
If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;
Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the
compressor, this is normal.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• The compressor protection thermal fuse will cutout after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the
appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilised. This is quite normal, and the fridge will
restart after 4 or 5 minutes.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or ice may occur on the
rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor in specied intervals. This is normal. There
is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the ice is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to
Part 4 and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only at home and for
the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer use the appliance in
a way that does not comply with these features, we emphasise that the producer and the dealer shall not be
responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult an authorised service
provider.
CHAPTER -7: TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
1. Always allow foodstuffs to cool before storing in the appliance.
2. Thaw food in the fridge compartment, this helps save energy.
3. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket.
