Installing and operating your fridge freezer

Before starting to use your fridge freezer, you should pay attention to the following points:

• Operating voltage for your fridge freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.

• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded

usage.

• Place your fridge freezer where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.

• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater

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 freezer 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.

• fridge freezer should be placed against a wall with a free distance

not exceeding 75 mm.

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.

6 ENGLISH

Thermostat setting

FREEZER THERMOSTAT REFRIGERATOR THERMOSTAT

The freezer and refrigerator thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of

the compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be

obtained. In cold seasons you can set lower thermostat positions in order to decrease the

energy consumption.

Important note: Do not try to rotate the knob beyond position 1 as it will stop your appliance.

THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES PART- 2.

Information on No-Frost technology

No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in their

operating principle.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to opening

the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in

the freezer compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer

compartment, you are periodically required to turn off the fridge,

place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled

container and remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment.

The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry and

cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments

homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower fan.

Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between the

shelves cools all of you r food equally and uniformly, thus

preventing humidity and freezing.

Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, in addition

to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

ENGLISH 7

Warnings about temperature adjustments

• We recommend that you do not operate your fridge in environments where the ambient

temperature is below 10°C because this will reduce its efficiency.

• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings

and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge freezer.

• Do not start another adjustment before completing one adjustment.

• When you first switch on the appliance, allow it to operate for 24 hours continuously

to cool down to the correct temperature. During this initial 24 hour period do not open

the door or place a lot of food inside the appliance.

• If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging

the appliance in or restarting it in order not to damage the compressor.

• Your fridge freezer is designed to operate within specific ambient temperature ranges,

according to the climate class stated on the information label. We do not recommend

operating your fridge freezer outside the stated

temperatures value limits.

• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient

temperature within the 16°C - 43°C range.

Freezer thermostat setting;

1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the

knob between minimum and medium position.

3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob to

the medium position.

5 : For freezing the fresh food. The appliance will work longer. Once the food is fully

frozen reset the thermostat to its original position.

Fridge thermostat setting;

1 – 2 : For lower chill conditions.

3 – 4 : For normal chill conditions.

5 – MAX : For higher chill conditions.

Climate Class Ambient

16 to 43 °C

16 to 38 °C

16 to 32 °C

10 to 32 °C

8 ENGLISH

Chilled compartment:

• Keeping food in the Chiller compartment

instead of the freezer or refrigerato r

compartment allows food retain freshness

and flavour for longer, while preserving its

fresh appearance. W h en the chiller tray

becomes dirty, remove it and wash with water.

(Water freezes at 0°C, but food containing salt

or sugar freezes at temperatures lower than

this).

• The chiller compartment is usually used for storing raw fish, lightly pickled food, rice,

etc...

• Please, do not put food you want to freeze or ice trays (in order to make ice) in the

chiller compartment.

Accessories

Making Ice Cubes

• Fill the icebox part of the icemaker with water and replace it.

• You can remove the ice approximately 2 hours later.

• Without displacing the icebox, turn the icebox arm to the right until

all the ice cubes drop into the ice bucket.

• The ice bucket can be removed to serve ice, or left in the appliance

to store the ice.

The ice bucket is only for storing ice. Do not use it for making ice by

inserting water in it, it may break.

(In some models)

Quick Freezer Compartment

• Use the Quick freezer compartment for freezing

fresh food. This allows food to be frozen more

quickly and prevents it from coming into contact

with food that is aready frozen. * Once the food

is frozen, you can place it on the shelves in the

freezing compartment by removing it from the

quick freezer compartment.

• To open the Quick freezer compartment door,

hold it and push it forward by moving it on the

rails. You can close it by pulling it back in the same way.

• Before closing the upper door of your fridge, make sure that the cover of the quick

freezer is closed. Otherwise, it cannot perform the quick freezing function.

Visual and text descriptions on the accessories section may

vary according to the model of your appliance.

ENGLISH 9

Freezer compartment

• Set the thermostat to 2-3 for the freezer compartment to operate in normal conditions.

• The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for

the period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes.

• Do not put fresh and warm foods to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use the

door shelves for storing frozen foods.

• Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

PART- 3.

Fridge compartment

• Set the thermostat to 2-3 for the refrigerator compartment to operate in normal

conditions.

• Food should be placed in the fridge in closed containers or covered with appropriate

material.

• Hot food and beverages should be cooled to room temperature before being placed

in the fridge.

• Vegetables and fruits can be put into the crisper directly without being wrapped.

• The fridge air duct distributes cold air to the fridge compartment. Avoid covering the

front of the ducts with food as this will obstruct the air flow. Do not place food or

containers close to the lamp or door of the fridge compartment.

Important Note:

• Cover any finished dishes when you put them in the fridge. Place them in the fridge

when they are cool, otherwise temperature/humidity inside the fridge will increase

and reduce the efficiency of the fridge. Covering food and beverages also preserves

their flavour and aroma.

Potatoes, onion and garlic shouldn’t be kept in the fridge.

While loading the freezing compartment, do not load above the the

loading lines otherwise the door may not close correctly.If the freezer

compartment door does not close correctly, excess ice may form in the

freezer compartment. To prevent the problem recurring, clear the ice

and make sure that the door is fully closed.

Also, not closing the freezer and/or fridge compartment doors would

increase your energy consumption.

• 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.

• W hile freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in portions

you will use in a single serving.

• While freezing fresh foods, the maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be

frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.

• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, turn the

thermostat knob to the coldest setting 24 hours before placing fresh food into the

freezer.

• After placing fresh food into the freezer, having the thermostat knob set to the coldest

setting for 24 hours is generally sufficient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the

thermostat knob setting if required.

• Attention. To save energy, if you are only freezing small amounts of food, you do not

need to set the thermostat knob to the coldest setting.

• For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should

always be followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored

for more than 3 months from the purchased date.

• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures

and that the packing is intact.

• Frozen food 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 packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

ENGLISH 11

Note: Frozen meat should be cooked as fresh meat after being thawed. If the meat is not

cooked after being thawed, it should never be frozen again.

PART- 5.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE PART- 6.

Check Warnings:

If your fridge freezer is not operating:

• Is there an electrical fault?

• Is the plug is fully in the socket?

• Is the fuse on the plug or the main fuse blown?

• Is the thermostat setting set to the “•” position?

• Is the fault with the socket outlet? Check this by plugging your fridge into another

socket outlet which you are sure is working.

If your fridge is not cooling enough:

• Is the thermostat setting on “1” position?

• Are the doors of your fridge freezer opened frequently and left open for a long while?

• Does the doors of fridge freezer close properly?

• Are any dishes or food touching the rear wall of the fridge freezer and preventing the

air circulation?

• Is your fridge freezer overfilled?

• Is there enough space for air circulation at the rear and side of the fridge freezer?

• Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specified in the operating

manual?

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF

INSTALLATION POSITION

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.

• Befo re transporting or changing th e

installation position, all the moving objects

(ie,shelves,crisper…) should be taken out

or fixed with bands in order to prevent them

from getting damaged.

Carry your fridge freezer in the upright position.

Repositioning the door

• It is not possible to change the opening direction of your frid freezer door, if the doors

handles on your fridge freezer are installed from the front surface of the door.

• It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without any

handles.

• If the doors opening direction of your fridge freezer may be changed, you should

contact the nearest authorised service agent to have the opening direction changed.

ENGLISH 17

If the food in your refrigerator compartment is over cooled:

• Is the temperature adjustment correct? (Is the thermostat knob is on “5” position?)

• Has a large amount of food recently been put inside the freezer compartment? If so,

your fridge may over-cool the food already inside the refrigerator compartment as it

will have to work harder to cool the new food.

If your fridge freezer is operating too loudly:

To maintain the set cooling level, the compressor may be activated from time to time.

Noises from your fridge freezer at this time are normal and due to the compressor function.

When the required cooling level is reached, noises will decrease automatically. If the

noises persist;

• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?

• Is there anything behind your fridge freezer?

• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or

dishes if this is the case.

• Are the items placed on your fridge freezer vibrating?

Normal Noises;

Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:

• During automatic defrosting.

• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).

Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.

Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor

operates normally. The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is

first activated.

Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the

tubes of the system.

Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container

during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.

Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge

freezer during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

If humidity builds up inside the fridge:

• Is the food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the

fridge freezer?

• Are the fridge freezer doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets into the

fridge freezer when the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster if you open

the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

• Building up of water drops on the rear wall after automatic defrosting is normal (in

Static Models).

If the doors are not opened and closed properly:

• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?

• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?

• Are door gaskets broken or torn?

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.W hen 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. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a

waste of energy.

4.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.

5.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.

6.Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc )

closed.

7.Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.

• Is your fridge freezer on a level surface?

If the edges of fridge freezer cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;

Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer

during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.

Important notes:

• The compressor protection thermal fuse will cut out after sudden power breakdowns

or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not

stabilised. This is quite normal and the fridge will restart after 4 or 5 minutes.

• The cooling unit of your fridge freezer is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water

droplets or icing may occur on the rear surface of your fridge freezer due to the

operation of the compressor in specified intervals. This is normal. There is no need

to perform a defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.

• If the appliance is not used for long time (for example during holidays) defrost and

clean the fridge freezer, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of midew 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 uses 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.
