Do not place your product on the materials such as rug or carpet.

4.Place your refrigerator on an even floor surface to prevent jolts.

12 EN

4 Preparation

•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.

•It ‘s recommended to place iceacumulator directly on the food at the top compartment for energy saving.

•Please make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.

•If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.

•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.

•Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.

•This 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.

•If 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.

13 EN

Adjusting the legs

If your refrigerator is unbalanced; You can balance your refrigerator

by turning its front legs as illustrated in the figure. The corner where the leg exists is lowered 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.

5 Using your refrigerator

Setting the operating temperature

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.

1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)

MAX. = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting))

Please choose the setting which

WarmCold

is consistant with 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 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 control towards the position MAX.

We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to read off the thermometer immediately as the temperature on the thermometer will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.

AAttention

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 take effect as quickly as possible. In this way, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.

16 EN

AAttention

Always keep the already deep-frozen food separated from freshly placed food.

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.

Door Open Warning

*May not be available in all models

An audio warning signal will be given when the door of your product is left open for at least 1 minute. This warning will be muted when the door is closed or any of the display buttons (if any) are pressed.

Fast freeze

If large amounts of fresh food are going to be frozen, adjust the thermostat control to the MAX. position. 24 hours before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze compartment.

It is strongly recommended to keep the thermostat control at the MAX. position for at least 24 hours to freeze the maximum amount of fresh food stated as the freezing capacity. Take special care not to mix frozen and fresh food.

Defrosting the appliance

The appliance defrosts automatically.

17 EN

Freezing fresh food

•It must be preferred 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 to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.

•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, odor, 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

•Prepacked 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 labeled and dated.

3.Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
