PART - 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
• 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.
• 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.
Making Ice cubes:
Ice tray
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below
to remove the ice cubes.
Plastic scraper
After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer
compartment. The frost accumulated in the freezer should be removed
periodically. Use the plastic scraper provided if necessary. Do not use sharp
metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and
cause irreparable damage to the unit.
N (temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures
ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C.
SN (extended temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient
temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C.

EN -12-
•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.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to
be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power.
Fast freezing shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment.
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.

Transportation and changing of installation position
• The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.
• During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong
rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.
• Before transporting or changing the installation position,
all the moving objects (ie,drawers, aps…) should be
taken out or xed with bands in order to prevent them
from getting damaged.
Defrosting the freezer
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 in order to
maintain the efciency of the freezer.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze the food
completely (Recommendation).
• When defrosting frozen foods, 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 switch off the appliance.
•Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove any water from the compartment.
• This appliance has a special drain system.
1. Pull out the bottom drawer A of the freezer
compartment. Put it on the oor and align it to
the front of the cabinet.
2. Pull out the drain pipe B located on the back
wall of the freezer compartment. Then, place it
in the groove on the front side of the appliance
oor.
3. If there is still water on the freezer oor, you
can remove it by using a sponge.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water
and a little detergent. Never use abrasive
products or aggressive cleaning agents.
•Dry the inside of the unit, plug it into the mains and
set the thermostat knob to position “5”. After 24
hours reset the thermostat to the desired position.

EN -16-
PART - 6. BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
If your freezer 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 plugged in properly, or is loose
• The thermostat setting is in position “•”,
•The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working
into the same socket.
The appliance performs poorly; Check if:
• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The doors are not closed properly,
•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 you
hear different sounds, check if:
• The appliance is installed rmly as described in the installation manual.
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the freezer; Check if:
The drain hole for water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
Recommendations
• In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the “cooling section” of freezer
is positioned inside the back wall of the freezer compartment. When the compressor
is working, If this wall is covered with frost or water drops, when th compressor is
operating, do not worry. This is quite normal. The appliance should be defrosted only if
an excessively thick ice layer forms on the back wall.
• If the appliance will not be used for a long perios of time (for example during the summer
holidays), set the thermostat knob to the “•” position and to stop the appliance completely,
unplug it from the main socket. Defrost and clean the freezer leaving the door open to
prevent the formation of mildew and smells.
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
• The lifetime of your appliance is stated and declared by the Department of Industry.
The length of time for retaining parts required for the proper operation of the appliance
is 10 years.

Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near
a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity
increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks
and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
4. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (drawers, aps ...etc ) closed
6. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket.
