• Technical specifications can be changed to increase the product quality without being subject to prior notice.

• Values stated on the markings on the product or in the printed materials supplied with the product are the values obtained in laboratory in accordance with relevant standards. Such values may vary depending on the usage of the product and the ambient conditions.

• You can find the information about the cabin size of the refrigerator in section “Installing your refrigerator”.

Prior to operating your refrigerator

• Please remember that the manufacturer shall not be held liable if the information given in the instruction manual is not observed. This product is designed for domestic use.

Prior to operating your refrigerator, please read the instruction manual carefully that includes important information such as installation, usage and maintenance of your product.

Things to be done

• 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 in away from electrical ovens and should not be located under direct sunlight.

• The ambient temperature of the room where

you install your refrigerator should at least be 10°C. Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions than this is not recommended with regard to its efficiency.

• Please care to keep the inside of your refrigerator clean.

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

• Your refrigerator must run smoothly without any vibration. To ensure this, maintain the balance of your refrigerator on the floor by turning the adjustable front legs clockwise or counterclockwise. This should be done before the food is placed in the refrigerator.

• When you operate your refrigerator for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.

- Temperature adjustment button should

not be turned off.

- 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 section “Things to be done before calling the authorized service”.

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

Points to be Considered when Transporting the Product:

1. Your refrigerator must be emptied and

cleaned prior to any transportation.

2. Shelves, accessories, crisper and etc. in

your refrigerator must be fastened securely by adhesive tape against any jolt before repackaging.

3. Packaging must be tied with thick tapes

and strong ropes and the rules of transportation printed on the package must be followed.

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.

Please remember…

Every recycled material is an indispensable source for the nature and for our national resources. If you wish to contribute to recycling the packaging materials, you can get further information from the environmental bodies or local authorities.

• 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.

3. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."

4. Plug the refrigerator into the power mains 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 or not which is quite normal.

Due to the operation of fans inside the appliance, overall noise level is slightly higher in comparison to non-frost free appliances. This is quite normal and is not a fault.

6. Front edges of the refrigerator may feel

warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

7. Do not fill the interiors of the refrigerator in initial operation. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. (See page 16)

• Approximately the first 30 cubes of ice to be obtained from the ice dispenser must not be used.

8. When the compartments reach the desired temperatures fans will stop.

9. Especially pay special attention to prevent the foodstuffs, in particular, small pieces, such as rice, peas and beans from running into the fan protectors and air flow ducts. These may cause clogging of the cooling system and a decrease in the efficiency of the device.

10. The factory set temperature is +4°C for fridge compartment and -18°C for freezer compartment.

11. The compressor will start running approximately 5 minutes after the refrigerator is plugged in to protect the electronic components of your appliance. 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.

12. Pay attention to the following points during the first 24 hours of the operation:

• Food to be frozen must be put in the freezer compartment. (They should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent their partial thawing. Freezing capacity of our product is given in the technical

specifications of your refrigerator.)

• Periods given in the information about deep freeze must be obeyed for storage times.

• Frozen food must be used promptly after they are thawed and they should never be refrozen.

• Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.

• Do not freeze too large quantites of food at once one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

• Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 13 kg.

• Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

• You may place the fresh food to be frozen in any place you like in the freezer. However, we recommend you to use quick freeze compartment for fastest freezing.

• Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

Recommendation 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 packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2. Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.

3. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before"

dates on the packaging. If there is a power failure do not open the freezer door. Even if the power failure lasts up to 8 hours, frozen food will not be affected. In case the failure lasts longer, the food must be checked and when necessary, must be consumed immediately or must be frozen after cooked. * If you remove freezer compartment drawer and icebox to increase the volume, section over the line shown in the figure below

becomes two star section. Use this volume only for short-term storage of food.

Defrosting

The fridge and freezer compartments defrost automatically.

Replacing the Interior Light Bulb

Should the light fail to work, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.

• Remove all shelves and drawers for easy access.

2. Use a flat tipped screwdriver to gently remove the light diffuser cover by inserting the blade to prise off each side. Take care not to damage the plastic cover and inner liner.

3. First check that the bulb hasn't worked loose by ensuring that it is screwed securely in the holder. Replace the plug and switch on. If the bulb works, replace the light cover by inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate the front two lugs.

4. If the light still fails to work, switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Replace the bulb with a new 15 watt (max) screw cap E14 (SES) bulb.

5. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately. Replacement light bulb can easily be obtained from a good local electrical or DIY store.

Things to be done for saving energy

1. Do not keep the doors of your refrigerator

open for a long time.

2. Do not put hot food or drinks in your refrigerator.

3. Do not overload your refrigerator so that the air circulation inside of it is not prevented.

Deep-Freeze information

Food must be frozen as rapidly as possible when they are put in a refrigerator in order to keep them in good quality. The TSE norm requires (according to certain measurement conditions) the refrigerator to freeze 4.5 kg of foodstuff at 32°C ambient temperature to -18°C or lower within 24 hours for every 100-liters of freezer volume.

It is possible to keep the food for a long time only at -18°C or lower temperatures. You can keep the freshness of food for many months (at -18°C or lower temperatures in the deep freeze).

WARNING!

• The foodstuff that you want to freeze

must be in good quality.

• Foodstuff must be divided into portions according to the family's daily or meal based consumption needs.

• 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.

4. Do not install your refrigerator under direct sunlight or near heat emitting appliances such as oven, dishwasher or radiator.

5. Pay attention to keep your food in closed containers.

Materials necessary for packaging:

• Cold resistant adhesive tape

• Self adhesive label

• Rubber rings

• Pen Materials to be used for packaging the foodstuff must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids. Foodstuff to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent their partial thawing.

You can check the freezing capacity of your refrigerator from “Technical Specifications” section in Part 1. Always follow the values in the tables for storage periods.

Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.

Cleaning your refrigerator

Warning!!! Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.

We recommend that you switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.

• To remove a freezer drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and then pull it out completely.

• Especially pay special attention to prevent the foodstuffs, in particular, small pieces, such as rice, peas and beans from running into the fan protectors and air flow ducts. These may cause clogging of the cooling system and a decrease in the efficiency of the device.

Protection of plastic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. In case of spilling or smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.

Specially Treated Doors

Genuine stainless steel doors have been specially treated to enhance and maintain the elegant appearance of the material. To ensure you can preserve and maintain this, we recommend that you regularly wipe the doors, in an up and down motion with a soft, dry and clean piece of kitchen roll.
