Before operating your
refrigerator
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 of it?
2. Insert the 2 plastic wedges onto the
rear ventilation as illustrated in the
following figure. Unscrew the existing
ones and use the screws given in
the same bag of wedges. Plastic
wedges will provide the required
distance between your refrigerator
and the wall in order to allow the air
circulation.
3. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as
recommended in the “Maintenance
and cleaning” section.
4. Plug the refrigerator into the wall
outlet. When the door is open the
respective interior light will come on.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
even if the compressor is not running
and this is quite normal.
6. Front edges of the refrigerator may
feel warm. This is normal. These
areas are designed to be warm to
avoid condensation.
Electric connection
Connect your refrigerator to a
grounded socket which is being
protected by a fuse with the
appropriate capacity.
Important:
• The connection must be in
compliance with national regulations.
• The power cable plug must be easily
accessible after installation.
• Voltage and allowable fuse protection
are specified in the “Technical
Specifications” section.
• The specified voltage must be equal
to your mains voltage.
• Extension cables and multiway plugs
must not be used for connection.
B A damaged power cable must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
B The appliance must not be operated
before it is repaired! There is danger
of electric shock!
Disposing of the packaging
The packing materials may be
dangerous for children. Keep the
packing materials out of the reach
of children or dispose them of by
classifying them in accordance
with the waste instructions. Do not
dispose them of along with the normal
household waste.
The packing of your refrigerator is
produced from recyclable materials.
Disposing of your old
refrigerator
Dispose of your old machine without
giving any harm to the environment.
• You may consult your authorized
dealer or waste collection center of
your municipality about the disposal
of your refrigerator.

against any danger.
Placing and Installation
Caution: Never plug the refrigerator
into the wall outlet during installation.
Otherwise, risk of death or serious
injury may arise.
If the entrance door of the room where
the refrigerator will be installed is not
wide enough for the refrigerator to
pass through, than call the authorized
service to have them remove the
doors of your refrigerator and pass it
sideways through the door.
1. Install your refrigerator to a place
that allows ease of use.
2. Keep your refrigerator away from
heat sources, humid places and direct
sunlight.
3. There must be appropriate air
ventilation around your refrigerator in
order to achieve an efficient operation.
If the refrigerator is to be placed in a
recess in the wall, there must be at
least 5 cm distance with the ceiling
and at least 5 cm with the wall.
Floor balance adjustment
If your refrigerator is unbalanced;
1- Ventilation cover is removed by
unscrewing its screws as illustrated
in the figure before the procedure.
You can balance your refrigerator by
turning the front legs of it 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.
2. After the balance issue is remedied,
install back the ventilation cover and
fasten the screws.
If the floor is covered with a carpet,
your product must be elevated 2.5 cm
from the floor.
4. Place your refrigerator on an even
floor surface to prevent jolts.
5. Do not keep your refrigerator in
ambient temperatures under 10°C.
3. Remove the screws fastening the

• You can install the egg holder to the
desired door or body shelf.
• Never store the egg holder in the
freezer compartment.
Sliding Body Shelves
• Sliding body shelves can be pulled
by slightly lifting up from the front and
moved back and forth. They come to
a stop point when pulled towards front
to allow you reach the foods placed at
the back of the shelf; when it is pulled
after slightly lifted upwards at the
second stop point, the body shelf will
be released.
The shelf should be hold tightly from
the bottom as well in order to prevent
it from tipping over. The body shelf is
placed on the rails at the sides of the
refrigerator body by bringing it to one
lower or one upper level.
The body shelf should be pushed
backwards to seat it completely.
Crisper of your refrigerator is designed
specially to keep your vegetables
freshly without loosing their humidity.
For this purpose, cool air circulation
occurs around the crisper in general.
Chiller compartment
Chiller compartments enable the

Another reason that your refrigerator
is equipped with a rotating middle
section is that it increases the net
volume of the fridge compartment.
Standard middle sections occupy
some non-usable volume in the
refrigerator.
