• This application is optional for easy
op en ing of the door. W ith this
application, a little condensation may
occur around this area and you may
remove it.
• Do not use plug adapter
Installing and operating your freezer
Before starting to use your freezer, you should pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• W e do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded
usage.
• Place your freezer where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater
cores, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your freezer should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• When your freezer is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at
least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity forming on the outer
surface.
• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
• Do not place anything on your freezer, and install your freezer in a
suitable place so that at least 15 cm of free space is available above
it.
• Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance is level and stable. You
can adjust the legs by turning them in either direction. This should be done before
placing food in the freezer.
• Before using your freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon
of sodium bicarbonate, then rinse with clean water and dry.
Place all parts in the freezer after cleaning.
• Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at the rear)
by turning it 90° (as shown in the figure) to prevent the condenser from
touching the wall.
• The freezer should be placed against a wall with a free space not
exceeding 75 mm.

EN - 6 -
Before using your freezer
• W hen using your freezer 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 freezer may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and
the smell will fade away when your freezer starts to cool.
• This appliance is designed to work in difficult climate conditions (up to 43 °C or
110° F) and is powered with ‘Freezer Shield’ technology which ensures that
the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature
falls as low as -15 °C. So you may then install your appliance in an unheated
room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt.
When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may continue using the
appliance as usual.
Information on No-Frost Technology
No-frost freezers differ from other static freezers in their operating
principle.
In normal freezers, the humidity entering the freezer due to opening the
door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the freezer
compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment,
you are periodically required to turn off the freezer, place the food that
needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container and remove
the ice gathered in the freezer compartment.
The situation is completely different in no-frost freezers. Dry and cold
air is blown into the freezer compartment homogeneously and evenly
from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously
and evenly between the shelves cools all of your food equally and
uniformly, thus preventing humidity and freezing.
Therefore your no-frost freezer allows you ease of use, in addition to its
huge capacity and stylish appearance.

CHAPTER 3. PLACING THE FOOD
• The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for
the period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes..
• Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in portions
you will use in a single serving.
• For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should
always be followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored
for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• Maximum load: if you want to store large quantities of food and use the maximum
net capacity of the freezer, you can remove all the sliding drawers but you should
keep the upper shelf flaps. Thanks to this, it is possible to store bulky items directly
on the shelves.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen food 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 signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it is
probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the

• 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 packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
If you would use maximum freezing capacity of your freezer:
• While freezing fresh foods, the maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be
frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label. (your refrigerator has the
capacity to freeze 25 kg at 25°C ambient)
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, activate
Super Freeze (SF) mode 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, 24 hours is generally sufficient for freezing.
”Super Freeze” mode will be deactivated automatically in 2-3 days to save energy.
If you would freeze a small amount (up to 3 kg) in your freezer:
• Place your food without touching already frozen food and activate “Fast Freezing”
mode. You can put your food next to other frozen food after it is completely frozen
(after minimum 24 hours).
• Do not re-freeze frozen food after it has thawed. This may cause health issues, such
as food poisoning.
• Allow hot food to completely cool down before placing it in the freezer.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.

Warning"
There is/are some
part(s) Out of order
or there is a failure in
cooling process
Check the door is open
or not. If the door is not
open, call service for
assistance as soon as
possible.
If your freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the
following, before calling an electrician to save time and money.
What to do if your appliance does not operate;
Check that;
• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected ,
• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know
which is working into the same socket.
What to do if your appliance performs poorly;
Check that;
•You have not overloaded the appliance ,
• The freezer temperature set to -16.
• The doors are closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
If your freezer is operating too loudly;
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 compres-
sor 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 flow of the refrigerant
in the tubes of the system.
Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation contain-
er during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.

EN - 16 -
Air Blow Noise: Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in No-Frost freezer
during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
If the edges of freezer 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.
If humidity builds up inside the freezer;
• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the
freezer?
• Is the freezers door opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the freezer when
the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors
more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
If the door is not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the drawers placed properly?
• Are door joints broken or torn?
• Is your freezer on a level surface?
Recommendations
•To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when
the door is left open)
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• In the event of a power cut, to prevent any damage to the compressor we recommend
that you unplug the freezer. Your appliance will start after 5 minutes, there is nothing
to worry about.
• If the appliance is not used for long time (for example during holidays) unplug it.
Clean your freezer according to Chapter 4 and leave the door open to prevent humidity
and smell.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please
consult to the nearest Authorised service.
• The lifetime of your appliance stated and declared by the Department of the Industry
is 10 years (the period for retaining parts required for the proper functioning of the
appliance).

EN - 17 -
Advice for Saving Energy
• Do not install the appliance close to heat producing appliances. Such as cooker,
oven, dishwaher or radiator, and locate the appliance in the coolest part of the room.
• Locate the appliance ina cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings
of the appliances are not obstructed.
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the
freezer.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently
as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compresor to switch on unnecessarily
often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
• Cover foods before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
• Refer to the “temperature settings” section for the suggested temperature control
settings.
• Do not block cold air vents. Doing so causes the freezer to run longer and use more
energy.
• Keep freezer full.
• Level the freezer so that the door closes tightly.
• Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or paint brush to
prevent an increased power consumption.
• Keep door gaskets clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
