BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Information about New Generation Cooling
Technology
Fridges with new generation cooling technology have a
different working system than static fridges. In normal fridges,
humid air that enters into fridge and the water vapor that comes
out from the foods, accumulates frost formation in freezer
compartment. In order to melt this frost, in other words defrost,
the fridge has to be stopped. During the stopping period, to
keep the foods cold, user has to extract the food to outside of
fridge and user has to clear the ice during this period.
In the fridges with new generation cooling technology, situation
in the freezer compartment is completely different. With the
aid of fan, cold and dry air is blown out through many points
into the freezer compartment. As a result of the homogenously
blown cold air, even in the spaces between shelves, foods are
frozen equally and correctly. On the other hand there will be
no frost formation.
In the refrigerator compartment, there will be nearly same
conguration with freezer compartment. Air, that is emitted
with 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
such that the air distribution becomes homogenous in this
compartment.
As there is no air passage between freezer and refrigerator
compartment, there will be no odor mixing.
As a result of these, your fridge with new generation cooling
technology, gives you, ease of use beside the huge volume
and esthetic appearance.
Before Using your Fridge
• When using your fridge for the rst time, or after
transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3
hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efcient
operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the
rst time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when
your fridge starts to cool.

THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Chiller Shelf
Keeping food in the Chiller compartment instead
of the freezer or refrigerator compartment allows
food retain freshness and avour longer, while
preserving its fresh appearance. When chiller tray
becomes dirty, remove it and wash it with water.
(Water freezes at 0°C, but foods containing salt or
sugar freeze at temperature lower than that)
Normally people use the chiller compartment for
raw sh, lightly pickled, rice, etc...
Do not put foods you want to freeze or ice trays in order to make ice.
Removing the Chiller shelf
• Pull the chiller shelf out toward you by sliding on rails.
• Pull the chiller shelf up from rail to remove.
Humidity Controler
When the humidity controler in the closed position, it allows fresh fruit and
vegetables to be stored longer.

EN
18 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
Your refrigerator has fully automatic defrosting. The water
formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water
collection spout, ows into the vaporisation container below
the condenser and evaporates there.
• Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your
refrigerator before cleaning the vaporization container.
• Remove the vaporization container from its position by
unscrewing the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy
water at specic time intervals. Thus, the odor formation
will have been prevented.
Replacing LED Lighting
If your refrigerator has LED lighting contact the help desk as
this should be changed by authorized personnel only.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Refrigerator compartment
• For normal operating conditions, adjusting the temperature value of
the cooler partition of the fridge to 4°C will be enough.
• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of 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 on the back wall as it will cause frost and the
packages can stick on 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 the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
Some recommendations have been specied below for the placement
and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
