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.

moving.

6

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.

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.

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.

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

2. The interior is dry and air can circulate
freely at the rear.

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)

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

14

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

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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
