Thermostat setting

• Thermostat automatically regulates the inside

temperature of the refrigerator compartment

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 will be avaible.

• For short-term storage of food in the freezer

compartment, you can set the knob between 1

and 3 position.

• For long-term storage of food in the freezer

compartment, you can set knop 3-4 position.

Accesories

Ice tray (Making Ice cubes)

• Fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer

compartment.

• After the water completely turned into ice, you

can twist the tray as shown below to get the ice

cube.

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.

THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND

POSSIBILITIES

Refrigerator compartment

• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of

frost never place liquids in unsealed containers

in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in

the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time

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.

• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will

cause frost and the packages can stick on the

back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door

too frequently.

• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in

packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use

in 1-2 days,in the bottom section of the

refrigerator compartment(that is above the

crisper) as this is the coldest section and will

ensure the best storing conditions.

• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper

without packing.

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

appopriate 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 strorage life of froozen 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 instruductions 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.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Make sure to unplug the fridge before starting

to clean it.

• Do not wash your fridge by pouring water.

• You can wipe the inner and outer sides with a soft

cloth or a sponge using warm and soapy water.

• Remove the parts individually and clean with

soapy water. Do not wash in washing machine.

• Never use flammable, explosive or corrosive

material like thinner, gas, acid for cleaning.

• You should clean the condenser with broom at

least once a year in order to provide energy

saving and increase the productivity.

Remember to unplug your refrigerator before

cleaning it.

Make sure no water comes in contact with the

electrical connections of the temperature control

or the internal lighting. Inspect the door gasket

from time to time.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator

compartment during operation; the defrost

water is collected by the evaporating tray and

evoparates 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 flowing out.

• You can also pour 1/2 glass of the water to drain

hole to clean inside.

Freezer compartment

The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment,

should be removed periodically. (Use the plastic

scraper provided) The freezer compartment should

be cleaned in the way as the refrigerator

compartment, with the defrost operations of the

compartment at least twice a year.

For this;

• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat

dial to “5” position 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 thermostat knob to position «

•

» or unplug

the unit; leave the door open until completely

defrosted.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Transportation and Changing of Installation

Position

• Original package and foam may be kept for re-

transportation (optionally).

• You should fasten your fridge with thick

package, bands or strong cords and follow the

instructions for transportation on the package

for re-transportation.

• Remove movable parts (shelves, accessories,

vegetable bins etc.) or fix them into the fridge

against shocks using bands during re-positioning

and transportation.

Carry your fridge in the upright position.

Repositioning the door

• It is not possible to change the opening direction

of your fridge door, if the door handles on your

fridge 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 door opening direction of your fridge may

be changed, you should contact the nearest

Authorized Service to have the opening

direction changed.

SHIPMENT AND REPOSITIONING

• To accelerate the defrosting process one or

more basins of warm water can be placed in the

freezer compartment.

• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the

thermostat knob to MAX position.

Replacing the light bulb

To replace the bulb in freezer and fridge

departments;

1. Unplug your fridge.

2. Remove the cover of the box from the claws

using a screwdriver.

3. Replace with a bulb of maximum 15 Watts.

4. Install the cover.

5. Wait for 5 minutes before re-plugging and bring

the thermostat to its original position.

What to do if your refrigerator does not

operate;

Check that;

• There is no power ,

• The general switch in your home is

disconnected,

• The thermostat setting is on «

•

» position,

• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug

in another appliance that you know which is

working into the same socket.

What to do if your refrigerator performs

poorly;

Check that;

• You have not overloaded the appliance ,

• The doors are closed perfectly ,

• There is no dust on the condenser ,

• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.

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

different check that;

• The appliance is well levelled

• Nothing is touching the rear.

• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.

BEFORE CALLING YOU'RE AFTER SALES

SERVICE

If your refrigerator is too noisy;

Normal noises;

Cracking noises (cracking ice):

• During automatic defrosting.

• When the appliance has cooled or heated (due

to the expansion of the appliance material).

Brief cracking noise: Noise heard when the

thermostat activates or deactivates the compressor.

Compressor noise: Normal motor noise. This

noise means that the compressor is working

normally; the compressor may make more noise

for a short time when it is started up.

Bubbling and splashing noise: This noise is

caused by the coolant moving in the pipes of the

system.

Noise of running water: Normal noise of water

flowing towards the evaporation vessel during

defrosting. This noise may be heard during

defrosting.

If the sides of the refrigerator unit with which

the door gasket is in contact get warm:

Especially in summer (when it is warm), the

surfaces with which the gasket is in contact may get

warmer during compressor operation. This

phenomenon is completely normal.

If humidity builds up inside the fridge;

• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers

dried before placing them in the fridge?

• Are the fridge doors opened frequently?

Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when

the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be

faster when 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 joints broken or torn?

• Is your fridge on a level surface?

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• To increase space and improve the appearance,

the "cooling section" of the refrigerators is

located inside the rear wall of the refrigerator

compartment.

When the appliance is working, this wall is

covered with frost or with water droplets,

depending on whether the compressor is

running or not. Do not worry. This is almost

normal. You must defrost the appliance if there

is an excessive thickness of frost on the wall.

If you do not intend to use the appliance for a

long time (for example during the summer

vacation), defrost and clean the refrigerator and

leave the door open to prevent the formation of

rust and unpleasant smells.

• To completely stop operation of the appliance,

disconnect it from the socket (for cleaning and

when the doors are left open).

Conformity Information

• Normal Class is defined for the environment

temperatures between 16°C and 32°C in

accordance with the TS EN ISO 15502

Standards.

• The appliance is designed in compliance with the

EN15502, IEC60335-1 / IEC60335-2-24,

2004/108/EC standards.

Tips For Saving Energy

1. Install the appliance in a coll, well vantilated

room , but not in direct sunlight and not near

heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise

use an insulating plate.

2. Allow ward 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 causes energy saving. If the frozen

food is put out, it causes wastage of energy.

4. When placing, drinks and slops they must be

covered. Otherwise humidity increases at the

appliance. Therefore the working time gets

longer. Also covering drinks and slops helps to

save smell and taste.

5. When placing food and drinks, open the

appliance door as briefly as possible.

6. Keep close the covers of any different

temrepature compartment in the appliance

(crisper, chiller ...etc ).

7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace

gaskets if worn.
