Operating your refrigerator

•The factory setup temperature during the first operation is 4°C for fridge compartment and -18°C for freezer compartment.

•Your refrigerator's compressor will start running approximately 1 minutes after the refrigerator is plugged in during first usage. After startup of the compressor, compartment temperatures will reach to the setup temperatures in 24 hours depending on the ambient temperature and load status of your refrigerator.

•Pay attention to the following points during the first 12 hours, or 24 hours depending on the ambient temperature.

-Do not open the doors frequently.

-Do not overload your refrigerator.

Why No-Frost?

•No-Frost refrigerators are quite different from other refrigerators with respect to their operating principles. In normal fridges, the humidity that rushes into the refrigerator and the humidity brought by the food causes ice formation in the freezer compartment. This ice is melted and cleaned with certain intervals.

•However, in No-frost refrigerators no ice or snow formation occurs inside the usable areas of the refrigerator.

•No-Frost refrigerators also show very different characteristics from other refrigerators with respect to their cooling systems. A No-Frost refrigerator provides equal cooling down of all the food in it thanks to the cool air being circulated in it continuously.

•Therefore, your No-Frost refrigerator provides you a great comfort in usage.
