If your refrigerator is unbalanced; y ou can balance your refrigerator by turning its front legs as illustrated in the gure. The
corner where the leg exists is owered when you turn in the direction of black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. Taking help from someone to slightly lift the refrigerator will facilitate this process.
Changing the illumination lamp
To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, call your Authorised Service Agent. The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for house hold room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator in a safe and comfortable way. The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20 °C. (only chest and upright freezer)
4 Preparation
Your fridge/freezer should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heater and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens
and should not be located under direct sunlight. Please make sure that the interior of your fridge/freezer is cleaned thoroughly. If two coolers are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them. When you operate your fridge/freezer for the rst time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours. The doors should not be opened frequently.
It must be operated empty without placing any food in it. Do not unplug your fridge/freezer. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the “Recommended solutions for the problems” section. The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy consumption and for better storage conditions. Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.
This product has been designed to function at ambient temperatures up to 43°C (90° F). Even if the ambient temperature falls to -15 °C, frozen food
in the freezer does not thaw thanks to its Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System. For the rst installation, the
product should NOT be placed under low ambient temperatures. This is because the freezer cannot go down to standard operation temperature. When reaching continuous operation, the product can be moved to another place. Thus, later you can place your product in the garage or an unheated room without the concern of causing frozen food to get rotten. However, it is likely that above mentioned low temperatures may cause the freezing of the food in the fridge compartment; thus, please consume the food items in the fridge in a controlled way as needed. When ambient temperature goes back to normal, you may change button setting according to your need.
If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in fridge compartment will freeze. Therefore, we recommend not using the fridge compartment in such low ambient temperatures. You may continue to use the freezer compartment as usual.
In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 5 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.
Due to temperature change as a result of opening/closing the product door during operation, condensation on the door/body shelves and the glass containers is normal.

Freezing fresh food
We suggest to wrap or cover the food before placing them
in the refrigerator. Hot food must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.
The foodstuff that you want freeze must be fresh and in good quality.
EN

Page 10
Foodstuff must be divided into portions according to the family’s daily or meal based consumption needs. The foodstuff must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be kept for a short time.
Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odour, oils and acids and they must also be airtight. Moreover, they must be well closed and they must be made from easy-to-use materials that
are suitable for deep freeze usage. Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
1. Do not freeze too large quantities of food at one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
2. Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.
3. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
Recommendations for preservation of frozen food
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a
( 4 star)frozen food storage compartment. To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:
1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2. Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.
3. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
Defrosting
The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.

Fan
Fan is designed to ensure homogeneous distribution and circulation of the cold air inside your refrigerator. Operation time of the fan may vary depending on the properties of your product. While the fan works only with the compressor in some products, the control system determines its operation time in some products in accordance with the cooling requirement.
For the Blue light (*depends on model)
Fruits and vegetables stored in the crispers that are illuminated with a blue light continue their photosynthesis by means of the wave length eect of blue light and thus preserve their vitamin C content.
For HarvestFresh (*depends on model)
Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated wit the HarvestFresh technology preserve their vitamin content (vitamin A and C) for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle.
If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the HarvestFresh technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue, green or red light to illuminate the crisper for your convenience. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle

6 Maintenance and cleaning
Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes. We recommend that you unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent & wax polish for cleaning. Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry. Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry. Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items. If your refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar. Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.
Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the outer surfaces and chromium coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes corrosion on such metal
surfaces. Do not use sharp, abrasive tools,soap, household cleaning agents,detergents, kerosene, fuel oil, varnish etc. to prevent removal and deformation of the prints on the plastic part. Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth for cleaning and then wipe it dry.
