Before starting to use your refrigerator
check the following:
1.Is the interior of the refrigerator dry and
can the air circulate freely in the rear

4 Preparation
C Your refrigerator 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.
C Please make sure that the interior
of your refrigerator is cleaned
thoroughly.
C If two refrigerators are to be installed
side by side, there should be at least
2 cm distance between them.
C When you operate your refrigerator
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the initial
six hours.
- The door should not be opened
frequently.
- It must be operated empty without
any food in it.
- Do not unplug your refrigerator. If
a power failure occurs out of your
control, please see the warnings in
the “Recommended solutions for
the problems” section.
C Original packaging and foam
materials should be kept for future
transportations or moving.
CThis appliance is designed to operate
at temperatures specified in the table
below is equipped with Advanced
Electronic Temperature Control
System [AETCS] which ensures that
at the advised setting [4 - four on the
knob] the frozen food in the freezer
will not defrost even if the ambient
temperature falls as low as -15 °C.
When first installed the product
MUST NOT be placed in low ambient
temperatures because the freezer will
not reduce to it’s standard operating
temperature. Once it has reached
its steady operating state it can be
re-located. So you may then install
your appliance in a garage or an
unheated room without having to
worry about frozen food in the freezer
being spoilt. However at low ambient
temperatures mentioned above,
fridge contents are likely to freeze,
so check and consume food in the
fridge accordingly. When the ambient
temperature returns to normal, you
may change the knob setting to suit
your needs.
CIf the ambient temperature is
below 0°C, the food in the fridge
compartment will freeze.So, we
recommend you don’t use the fridge
compartment in such low ambient
conditions. You can continue using
the freezer compartment as usual.

5 Using your refrigerator
Temperature setting button
Temperature setting button allows you
to make the temperature setting of
your refrigerator.
Setting the temperature of
your refrigerator
The overall temperature setting of
your refrigerator is made by means of
the temperature setting button on the
right wall of the fridge compartment.
This button has 5 different temperature
setting position. Select the position
suitable to your needs.
Dual cooling system
Your refrigerator is equipped with
two separate cooling systems to
cool the fresh food compartment and
freezer compartment. Thus, air in the
fresh food compartment and freezer
compartment do not get mixed.
Thanks to these two separate cooling
systems, cooling speed is much higher
then other refrigerators. Odours in the
compartments do not get mixed. Also
additional power saving is provided
since the automatic defrosting is
performed individually.
Hygiene - Ion
Hygiene+: The photocatalyst filter in
the air channel of refrigerator helps
to clean the air inside. Also this filter
reduces bad smells.
Ion+: Ionizer, that is in the air channel
of refrigerator, ionizers the air. With the
help of this system airborne bacteria
and bad smells originated from these
bacteria will be reduced.
