5 Using your refrigerator

Thermostat setting button

The interior temperature of your refrigerator changes for the following reasons;

• Seasonal temperatures,

• Frequent opening of the door and

leaving the door open for long periods,

• Food put into the refrigerator

without cooling down to the room temperature,

• The location of the refrigerator in the

room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).

• You may adjust the varying interior

temperature due to such reasons

by using the thermostat. Numbers

around the thermostat button indicates the cooling degrees.

• If the ambient temperature is higher

than 32°C, turn the thermostat button to maximum position.

• If the ambient temperature is lower

than 25°C, turn the thermostat button to minimum position.

Defrost

Fridge compartment performs full-

automatic defrosting. Water resulting from the defrosting passes from the water collection groove and flows into the evaporator through the drain pipe and evaporates here by itself.

• Check regularly to see if the drain pipe

is clogged or not and clear it with the stick in the hole when necessary.

• Deep freezer compartment does not

perform automatic defrosting in order to prevent decaying of the frozen food.

• Frost formation in the freezer

compartment must be defrosted every 6 months. It is recommended to defrost the ice when the deep freezer compartment is not filled too much or is empty.

• To do this, wrap the frozen food

by paper and keep them in the coolest place possible or in another refrigerator if available.

• Stop your refrigerator by means of the

temperature setting button or unplug the power cord from the outlet. You can place a container filled with hot water into the freezer compartment or leave the door of the freezer compartment open in order to hasten the defrosting.

• Remove the water that accumulates

in the lower container of the freezer compartment with an absorbent cloth or sponge.

• Dry the freezer compartment

completely and return the temperature setting button to its previous position.

• Operate your refrigerator for 2 hours

while it is empty and its doors are closed before replacing your food into the deep freezer.

6 Maintenance and cleaning
