CHAPTER -1: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Fridge
• 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 e󰀩cient operation and prevents 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.
Information about new-generation cooling technology
Fridge freezers with new-generation cooling technology have a di󰀨erent 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 di󰀨erent 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 o󰀨ers you an
access to a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.

Warnings for temperature settings
• The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, a󰀨ects the
temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If required,change the temperature setting.
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C .
• Do not pass to another adjustment before completing an adjustment.
• The thermostat setting should be set by taking into consideration how often the fresh food and freezer doors
are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the refrigerator and the environment in which and the
positioning of the appliance.
• We recommend that when rst using the fridge freezer it should be left running for 24 hours uninterrupted to
ensure it is completely cooled. Do not open the fridge doors, or put food inside for this period.
• Your fridge freezer has a 5 minute built in delay function, designed to prevent damage to the compressor. When
power is applied to your fridge freezer, it will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge 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 is operated in the
environments which are out of the stated temperature intervals in terms of cooling e󰀩ciency.
• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C - 43°C range.
Climate class and meaning:
T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.
ST (subtropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to
38 °C.

CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER
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 di󰀩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 o󰀨 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.
The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your refrigerator.
To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is
located at the level of this symbol, as shown in the illustration.
The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by the lower side of the
sticker (head of the arrow). The coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level with
the arrow head. The coldest area is below this level.
As these shelves are removable, make sure they are always at the same level with these
zone limits described on the stickers, in order to guarantee temperatures in this area.

CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER
Bottle holder (In some models)
In order to prevent the bottles to slip or fall over you can use the bottle holder. You can also prevent making noise that
will be done when you open or close the door.
Humidity Controller
When the humidity controller is in the closed position, it allows
fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored for a longer time.
In the event the crisper is full, the fresh dial that is located in
front of the crisper, should be opened. By means of this, the
air in the crisper and humidity rate will be controlled and the
shelf life will be extended.
If you see any condensation on the glass shelf, the humidity
control should be placed into the open positions.
Visual and text descriptions on the accessories section may vary according which model you have..
