Setting the operating
temperature
(Fig. 2)
The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.
Warm |
|
Cold |
1 |
2 3 |
4 MAX. |
1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting) MAX. = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)
Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.
The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of foods kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.
The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards Position MAX. We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to take the reading immediately since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.

Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing area is marked with 
symbol on the door liner.
You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food. Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.
Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label. In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.
Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer. (Fig. 3)
As soon as the water has turned into ice, you can take out the ice cubes.
Never use sharp objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk of injury!
Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short moment.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are going to be frozen, adjust the control knob to max. 24 hours before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze compartment.
It is strongly recommended to keep the knob at MAX. position at least 24 hours to freeze maximum amount of fresh food declared as freezing capacity. Take special care not to mix frozen food and fresh food.
Remember to turn the thermostat knob back to its previous position once food has frozen.
Defrosting of the appliance
Excessive build-up of ice will affect the freezing performance of your appliance.
It is therefore recommended that you defrost your appliance at least twice a year, or whenever the ice build-up exceeds 7 mm. Defrost your appliance when there is only little or no food in it.
Take out the deep-frozen food from the drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen food in several layers of paper, or a blanket, and keep it in a cold place.
Unplug the appliance or switch off the circuit breaker to start the defrosting process. Take out the accessories (like shelf, drawer etc.) from the appliance (Fig. 4) and use a suitable container to collect the thawing water.

|
|
Use a sponge or a soft cloth to remove thawing water if necessary (Fig. 5).
Keep the door open during defrosting.
For quicker defrosting, place containers with warm water inside the appliance.
Never use electrical devices, defrosting sprays or pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice.
After the defrosting is done, clean the inside (see the section ‘Cleaning and care’).
Reconnect the appliance to the mains. Place the frozen food into the drawers and slide the drawers into the freezer.
Cleaning and care
Interior and Exterior Surfaces
Attention
Always unplug the power cable or switch off the circuit breaker before cleaning.
Clean the exterior using lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
Never use detergents, abrasive or acidic agents.
Wipe the inside compartment dry.
Be careful to prevent water from getting into contact with the electrical connections of the temperature control or the interior light.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable and remove all food. Clean the appliance and keep the door open.
To preserve the appearance of your appliance, you can polish the exterior and the door accessories with a silicone wax.
Clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year using a brush or a vacuum cleaner. Dust build-up leads to increased energy consumption.
Inspect the door gasket at regular intervals. Clean with water only, and wipe totally dry.
Cleaning of the accessories
Drawers:
To clean a drawer, pull it out as far as possible, tilt it upwards and then pull it out completely.

Practical tips and notes
Freezing
•Always leave food to thaw in a container that allows the thawing water to run off.
•Do not exceed the maximum allowable freezing capacity when freezing fresh food (see the section "Freezing")
•Do not give children ice-cream and ices directly from the freezer.
The low temperature may cause cold burns on lips.
•Never re-freeze defrosted food; defrosted food must be consumed within 24 hours. Only food that has been cooked can be refrozen.
•Do not take out frozen food with wet hands.
•Store only fresh and impeccable food.
•Always use appropriate packaging material to avoid odour penetration or degradation of the food.
•Store commercially frozen food in accordance with the instructions given on the packaging.
•Freeze cooked food in small quantities. This ensures rapid freezing and maintains the quality of the food.
•Do not freeze liquids in tightly closed bottles or containers.
The bottles/containers may burst at low temperatures.
•Carry pre-frozen food in suitable bags and place it in your freezer as soon as possible. Always defrost food in the fridge compartment.
Normal operating noises
Various functional noises are completely normal due to the operation of the cooling system of your appliance;
•Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises are caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside the cooling system. These noises can still be heard for a short period of time after the compressor shuts off.
•Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises are caused by the expansion and contraction of the inside walls or some components inside the cabinets.
•Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched humming noises are caused by the compressor. These noises are slightly louder at the start-up of the compressor and reduce when the appliance reaches the operating temperatures.
Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and noises make sure that;
•Your refrigerator is standing level on all four feet.
•Your refrigerator is not in contact with the walls, surrounding objects or kitchen cabinets and furniture.
•Cans, bottles or dishes inside the refrigerator are not touching and hitting each other.
•All shelves and bins are mounted correctly inside the refrigerator cabinets and doors.

What, if....
1- The appliance will not work, even though it is switched on.
•Check if the power cable is properly connected!
•Check if the mains supply is in order, or if a circuit breaker has been tripped!
•Check the temperature control for correct setting!
2- There is a power failure.
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of frozen food that are available commercially and also can be used to freeze and store fresh food.
Do not open the door in case of a power failure.
For a 
rated appliance, frozen food in the freezer compartment will not be affected if the power failure lasts shorter than the “Conservation Time From Failure (hours)” mentioned in the rating label.
If the power failure is longer than the “Conservation Time From Failure (hours)”, then the food should be checked and either consumed immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
3- Other possible malfunctions
Not every malfunction is a case for our customer service. Very often, you can easily resolve the problem without requesting service. Before requesting service, please check if the malfunction has been caused by an operating error. If this is the case, and a service has been requested, a service charge will be levied even if the appliance is still under guarantee.
If the problem persists please contact your dealer or customer service.
Please have the type and serial number of your appliance ready when calling. The rating label is located inside the appliance.
Reversing the door
Proceed in numerical order (Fig. 7).
