cores, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your fridge freezer should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• When your fridge freezer is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2
cm between them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge freezer, and install your fridge freezer in a
suitable place so that at least 15 cm of free space is available above it.
• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
• Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance is level
and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them in either
direction. This should be done before placing food in the fridge
freezer.
• Before using your fridge freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of
warm water and a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, then rinse
with clean water and dry.
Place all parts in the fridge after cleaning.
• Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at the
rear) by turning it 90° (as shown in the figure) to prevent the
condenser from touching the wall.
• The refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free space
not exceeding 75 mm.
• When removing ice from the ice-making compartment, do not touch it. Ice
may cause frost burns and/or cuts.
• Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Do not eat ice-cream or ice
cubes immediately after you have taken them out of the ice-making
compartment.
• Do not re-freeze frozen goods after they have melted. This may cause health
issues such as food poisoning.

PART - 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Thermostat setting
The fridge freezer thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the
compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be
obtained.
Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.
1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob
between the minimum and medium position.
3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob
to the medium position.
5 : For freezing fresh food. The appliance will work for longer. So, after the desired
condition is reached, return the knob to the previous setting.
Warnings about temperature adjustments
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge freezer in environments colder
than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door
openings and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge freezer.
• When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any
food in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try
not to put a large quantity of food inside.
• A 5 minute delay function is included to prevent damage to the compressor of your
fridge freezer, when you unplug it and then plug it in again to operate it, or when an
energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge freezer will start to operate normally after 5
minutes.
Before Using your fridge freezer
• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation,
keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging
into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents
damage to the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal
and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

EN - 7 -
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.
Accessories
• Your fridge freezer is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals
stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information
label. It is not recommended that your fridge freezer is operated in the
environments which are out of the stated temperature intervals. This will reduce
the cooling efficiency of the fridge.
• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C -
32°C range.
Climate
Class Ambient Temperature (°C)
TBetween 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
NBetween 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)
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.
All written and visual descriptions in the accessories may vary according
to the appliance model.
PART - 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Fridge compartment
• To reduce humidity and the consequent increase in frost, never place liquids in
unsealed containers in the fridge compartment. Frost tends to concentrate in the
coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and in time will more frequent defrosting
will be required.
• Never place warm food in the fridge compartment. Warm food should be allowed
to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air
circulation in the fridge compartment.

EN - 8 -
• Nothing should touch the back wall of the appliance as it will cause frost and
packaging to stick to it. Do not open the fridge door too frequently.
• Arrange meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which
you intend to use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the fridge compartment.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.
Freezer compartment
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time
and making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible of food to be
frozen is in contact with the cooling surface.
• Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you
will use in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to
consume them in as short period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb the frozen
foods.
• For storing the frozen foods;the instructions shown on frozen food packages
should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should
not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable
temperatures and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the
quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the
shortest possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is
probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that
the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, 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 package and never exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.
Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not be
opened easily. It’s quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be
opened easily.
