3 USING THE APPLIANCE
“Door Open” Indicator;
The "Door Open" indicator on the handle
shows whether the door has closed
properly or whether it remains open.
If the indicator is red, the door is still open.
If the indicator is white, the door is properly
closed.
“Door Open” Indicator
The freezer door should always be
kept closed. This will prevent food
products from defrosting. Any heavy ice
and frost build-up inside the freezer, and an
unnecessary increase in energy
consumption, will be avoided.
3.1 Thermostat Setting
The thermostat automatically regulates
the temperature inside the refrigerator and
freezer compartments. Cooler temperatures
can be obtained by rotating the knob to
higher numbers, 1 to 5.
Important note: Do not try to rotate
the knob beyond position 1, it will stop
your appliance from working.

Super switch
(In some models)
• Normally set this switch to ‘0’ position.
Except when the ambient temperature
is low like in winter. (ie.below 16°C) or
when the freezer temperature needs to
be maintained lower. In that case, turn
the switch to ‘1’ position ON.
• To set super switch ON that is on the
thermostat box, press the switch down to
‘1’ position. The switch will lit.
• When the freezer compartment is cooled
down to sufcient temperature, or the
weather gets hot, turn the super switch
off to save electrical consumption.
• When you rst switch on the appliance,
for starting a suitable cooling, the
appliance should work 24 hours
continuously until it cools down to
sufcient temperature.
• In this time do not open the door so
often and place a lot of food inside the
appliance.
If the unit is switched off or unplugged,
you must allow at least 5 minutes before
restarting or re-plugged the unit in order not
to damage the compressor.
Super freezing: This switch shall be
used as superfreeze switch. For maximum
freezing capacity, please turn on this switch
before 24 hours placing fresh food. After
placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours
ON position is generally sufcient. In order
to save energy, please turn off this switch
after 24 hours from placingfresh food.

EN - 36
Winter Switch: If ambiant temperature
is below 16 oC, this switch shall be used
as winter switch and it keeps your fridge
above 0 oC while freezer is below -18 oC in
low ambiants.
3.2 Temperature Settings Warnings
• The ambient temperature, temperature of
the freshly stored food and how often the
door is opened affects 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 in terms of its efciency.
• When setting the thermostat, take into
consideration how often the appliance
doors are opened and closed, how much
food is stored in the refrigerator, and the
environment in which the refrigerator is
located.
• When the appliance is rst switched on,
allow it to run for 24 hours in order to
reach operating temperature. During this
time, do not open the door and do not
keep a large quantity of food inside.
• Unplug your appliance during a power cut
to prevent damage to the compressor.
Once power is restored, delay plugging
in your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes.
This will help prevent damage to the
appliance's components.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature ranges 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
outside of the stated temperature ranges.
This will reduce the cooling efciency of
the appliance.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in
the ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C
- 43°C) intervals stated in the standards,
according to the climate class displayed
on the information label. We do not
recommend operating your appliance out
of the stated temperature limits in terms
of cooling effectiveness.

3.3 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
OK

EN - 37
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.
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.
3.4 Accessories
3.4.1 Ice Tray
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in
the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely frozen,
you can twist the tray as shown below to
remove the ice cubes.
4 FOOD STORAGE
4.1 Refrigerator Compartment
• To reduce humidity and avoid the
consequent formation of frost, always
store liquids in sealed containers in the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in
the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid
and, in time, your appliance 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.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact
with the rear wall of the appliance as
frost will develop and packaging will stick
to it. Do not open the refrigerator door
frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean sh
are loosely wrapped and stored on the
glass shelf just above the vegetable bin
where the air is cooler, as this provides
the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in
the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the
crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately
helps prevent ethylene-sensitive
vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-
releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot,
g etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the
refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products
depends on the initial quality of the food
and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle
before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not
store meat products with fruit and
vegetables. Water leaking from meat
may contaminate other products in the
refrigerator. You should package meat

EN - 38
products and clean any leakages on the
shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air ow
passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the
recommended expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic
should not be stored in the refrigerator.
NOTE: Most efcient use of energy is
ensured in the conguration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the appliance,
and shelves evenly distributed, position of
door bins does not affect energy
consumption.
• 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.

4.2 Freezer Compartment
• The freezer is used for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food, and 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
polythene bags and plastic containers
are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen
food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into
portions that can be consumed in one
sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a
short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer
compartment as it will thaw the frozen
food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions on food packaging when
storing frozen food. If no information is
provided food, should not be stored for
more than 3 months from the date of
purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure
that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not
damaged.

EN - 39
• Frozen food should be transported in
appropriate containers and placed in the
freezer as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the
packaging shows signs of humidity
and abnormal swelling. It is probable
that it has been stored at an unsuitable
temperature and that the contents have
deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends
on the room temperature, the 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.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in
kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated on the appliance label.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer
door immediately after closing it, you
will nd that it will not open easily. This
is normal. Once equilibrium has been
reached, the door will open easily.
Important note:
• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked
dishes (anise, basilica, watercress,
vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic,
onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black
pepper, etc.) changes and they assume
a strong taste when they are stored for a
long period of time. Therefore, add small
amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or
the desired spice should be added after
the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent
on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are
margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter.
Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in
plastic cups and other food should be
frozen in plastic folios or bags.

5 CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the unit from the power
supply before cleaning.
Do not wash your appliance by
pouring water on it.
Do not use abrasive products,
detergents or soaps for cleaning the
appliance. After washing, rinse with clean
water and dry carefully. When you have
nished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the
mains supply with dry hands.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned
regularly using a solution of bicarbonate
of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by
hand with soap and water. Do not wash
accessories in a dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least
twice a year. This will help you to save on
energy costs and increase productivity.
The power supply must be
disconnected during cleaning.

5.1 Defrosting
Defrosting the Refrigerator
Compartment
• Defrosting occurs automatically in
the refrigerator compartment during
operation. The water is collected by
the evaporation tray and evaporates
automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain
hole should be cleaned periodically with
the defrost drain plug to prevent the
water from collecting at the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of owing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by
pouring half a glass of water down it.
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment
Frost accumulated in the freezer
compartment should be removed regularly
(using the plastic scraper provided). The
freezer compartment should be cleaned
in the same way as the refrigerator
compartment, with the defrost function, at
least twice a year.
For this:
• The day before you defrost, set the
thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze
food completely.
• During defrosting, frozen food should
be wrapped in several layers of paper
and kept in a cool place. The inevitable
rise in temperature will shorten its
storage life. Remember to use this food
within a relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “•”
and disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Leave the door open until the
unit is completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process,
place one or more bowls of warm water
in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and
set the thermostat knob to the MAX
position.
Replacing LED Lighting
If your appliance has LED lighting
contact the help desk as this should
be changed by authorized personnel only.
