Ice tray
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer compartment.
• After the water completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to get
the ice cube.
Bottle holder
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.
Refrigerator Compartment
Refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for few days.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.
• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.
• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator.
• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf
justabovethevegetablebin,wheretheairiscolder.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
• To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door
open for a long time.
Freezer Compartment
Freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the
period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging
should be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade,
in doubt double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen
food.
FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCEPART - 3.
EN - 21 -
• 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
sufcientlylowtemperatureforfoodstorage.However,avoidopeningthefreezerdoor
to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• 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).
• 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 foods are
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 is thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible
in order to consume or to freeze once again.
• Storage: If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the drawers and
store the items directly on the cooling tubes. This will enable you to make use of the
entire volume of the compartment.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not pour water over the appliance.
• The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned periodically using
a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.

hands.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCEPART - 4.
EN - 22 -
Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation; the defrost
water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with
defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator
insteadofowingout.
• You can also pour ½ glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment
WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for this
operation as they can damage the refrigeration circuit.
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment. The
frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (use the
plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the
efciencyofthefreezer.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze the foods
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in
a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember
to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “0” and switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the
compartment.
• This appliance is provided with a special drain system.
1.Pull out the bottom drawer(A) of the freezer compartment and put it on the oor
aligning it to the cabinet front.
2.Pull out the drain pipe(B) placed on the back wall of the freezer compartment. Then
placeitinthegrooveonthefrontsideoftheooroftheappliance.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICEPART - 6.
If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the
following.
The appliance does not operate,
Check if;
• There is a power failure,
• The mains plug is not properly plugged in, or is loose
• The thermostat setting is on position “0”,
• The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which is
working into the same socket.
The appliance performs poorly;
Check if;
• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The doors are not closed perfectly,
• There are not enough ventilation ducts on the kitchen unit as mentioned in the Installation
Manual.
If there is noise;
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling
sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is quite normal. If these
sounds are different check if;
• TheapplianceisinstalledrmlyasdescribedintheInstallationManual.
• Theobjectsontheappliancearevibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator;
Check if;
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
If your fridge is not cooling enough;
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. We do not recommend operating
your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
Climate class Ambient Temperature (oC)
TBetween 16 and 43 oC
ST Between 16 and 38 oC
NBetween 16 and 32 oC
SN Between 10 and 32 oC
EN - 25 -
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• 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
documentandleavethedooropentopreventanyhumidicationorodorformation.
