HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
Thermostat Setting
• Thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator com-
partment and freezer compartment.By rotating the knob from position 1. to 5., colder
temperatures can be obtained.
• « • » position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling is available.
• For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between
minimum and medium position.(1-3)
• For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knop medium
position.(3-4)
Note that; the ambiant temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how
often the door is opened, a󰀨ects the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
If required,change the temperature setting.
• When you rst switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable cooling, the appliance
should work 24 hours continuously until it cools down to su󰀩cient temperature.
• In this time do not open the door so often and place a lot of food inside the appliance.

FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE
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
just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.
• 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.
• For normal working conditions, it will be su󰀩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.
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.
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage
time.
PART 3.

GBR - 11 -
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a
su󰀩ciently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door
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.

GBR - 12 -
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Disconnect unit from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.
• The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned periodically using
a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories seperately with soap and water
Do not clean them in the washing machine.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.After washing,
rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning
operations have been completed reconnect the plug of the unit
with dry hands.

a year in order to provide energy saving and increase the
productivity.
PART 4.

GBR - 13 -
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
e󰀩ciency of the freezer.
• 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 “•” and switch o󰀨 the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the
compartment.
• 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 on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to position “5”.
After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.
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
instead of owing out.
• You can also pour 1/2 glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
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 “•”,
• 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 di󰀨erent 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 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 e󰀨ectiveness.

Recommendations
• While power cut, to prevent any compressor problem you should plug out the refrigerator.
You should delay plugging in 5 – 10 minutes after you power supply. If you plug out
the refrigerator for a reason you should wait at least 5 min to replug. It is important for
avoiding damage to refrigerator’s components.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or
icing may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor
in specied intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a defrosting operation
unless the icing is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), put the thermostat
to “•” position. After defrosting, clean your fridge 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 appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only
at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use.
If the consumer use the appliance in a way that does not comply with these features,
we emphasise that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair
and failure within the guarantee period.
• The lifetime of your appliance stated and declared by the Department of the Industry (the
period for retaining parts required for the proper functioning 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
heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc. ). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2– Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3– When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of
the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. So it reduces
the energy requirements.
4– When placing, drinks and liquids they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases at
the appliance. Therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and liquids helps
preserve the smell and taste.
5– When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briey as possible.
6– Keep the covers closed of any di󰀨erent temperature compartment in the appliance (crisper,
chiller ...etc. ).
7– Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
