1. Separate the union from the tap adaptor. (Figure A)

2. Install the tap adaptor to 1/2” valve fitting as shown in the figure. (Figure

3. After inserting the water pipe to the union, install it to the tap adaptor and insert to the tap as shown in the figure. (Figure C)

4. Tighten the union manually. In case of a leak use a spanner or a pair of pliers to tighten the union.

A Warning: Make sure that standard

1/2" valve fitting fed by cold mains water supply is available and is turned off fully.

Note -1: There is no need to use water

filter in case a jug is used.

Note -2: Pump must be used when jug

will be used.

A Warning: Secure the water pipe

to suitable points by means of the pipe clips supplied to avoid any damage or displacement or accidental disconnection.

A Warning: After turning on the water

valve, make sure that there is no leakage at both connection points of the water pipe. In case of a leak, turn off the valve immediately and tighten all joints again using a spanner or a pair of pliers.

C 12 hours must pass to obtain ice

from the Ice Dispenser for the first time. If there is not enough ice in the ice dispenser, ice may not be obtained from ice dispenser.

C Approximately the first 30 cubes

of ice to be obtained from the Ice Dispenser must not be used.

C Always use the water filter when a

jug is not being used.

C Water mains pressure must be

between 1-8 bars for the operation of Ice/Water Dispenser smoothly. For this, check that 1 glass of water (100 cc) can be filled in 10 seconds.

Foodstuff stored in the crispers that are enlightened with a blue light continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus, preserve their freshness and increase their vitamin content.

Ion:

Air is ionized by means of the ionizer system in the fridge compartment air duct. Thanks to this system, air-borne bacteria and particles that cause odor are removed.

Crisper humidity control sliders

Using the crisper humidity control sliders

Crisper of your refrigerator is designed specially to keep your vegetables freshly without loosing their humidity. Cold air circulates basically around the crisper and the amount of the cold air passing through the crisper is controlled by the sliders on the front side of the crisper cover.

You can adjust the humidity control sliders to a suitable position according to the humidity and cooling condition of your food in the crisper.

If you want your food in the crisper to cool more, open the holes of the humidity control sliders and if you want them to cool less and keep their humidity for a longer time, close the holes.

• You can install the egg holder to the

desired door or body shelf.

• Never store the egg holder in the

freezer compartment.

Fresh Freeze Compartment

This compartment freezes your food quickly and preserves their tastes and nutritional values.

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 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 the time specified on Type Label (inside left of the refrigerator), 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.

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. Illumination covers in freezer and fridge sections are opened by pressing by hand; first release one side and then the other by pressing on the sides as shown in the figures.

3. First check that the bulb has not worked loose by ensuring that it is screwed securely in the holder.

Reinsert the plug and switch on. If the

bulb works, reinstall 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.

6 Maintenance and cleaning

A Never use gasoline, benzene or

similar substances for cleaning purposes.

B We recommend that you unplug the

appliance before cleaning.

C Never use any sharp abrasive

instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.

C Use lukewarm water to clean the

cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.

C Use a damp cloth wrung out in

a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

B Make sure that no water enters the

lamp housing and other electrical items.

B If your refrigerator is not going to be

used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

C Check door seals regularly to ensure

they are clean and free from food particles.

A To remove door racks, remove all the

contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.

C Materials that may cause odor

are not used in the production of our refrigerators. However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of the refrigerator as required can bring forth the problem of odor.

Points to be taken into consideration to

prevent this problem are as follows:

C Keeping the products clean is

important. For this, refrigerators must be cleaned with carbonated water in every 15 days. (Detergents and soap must never be used.) Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odor.

C Foods must be kept in closed

containers. Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odors.

C Foods that have expired best before

dates and spoiled foods should never be kept in the refrigerator.

Depending on the usage condition, you

may apply the following in case of odor formation in your refrigerator.

C Tea is one of the best deodorants.

Open hydroxyl (OH) ends of Catechin substance molecules in the tea hold the odor creating volatile organics to remove unpleasant odors.

C Put the pulp of the tea you prepared

in your refrigerator in an uncovered container and keep it there for maximum 12 hours. If you leave it in the refrigerator for more than 12 hours, it may become the source of the odor as it will collect the microorganisms that cause the odor; therefore, it must be thrown away.

Protection of plastic surfaces

C Do not put the 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.

Icebox and Water Dispenser

C Follow the procedure and warnings

below to clean the icebox:

A Remove the Icebox by lifting first

and then pulling towards yourself as shown in the diagram.

A Empty the ice in the Icebox if any. To

take out the stuck ice, use objects that are not sharp to avoid any damage on the Icebox.

A Pay attention that the inside of the

Icebox is not wet/damp before placing it back to its housing.

A If you want to get ice from the ice

dispenser after placing the Icebox back to its housing and closing the freezer door, exit from Ice Off mode by pressing the Ice Off key again.

A Do not touch moving parts like

the knife in the Icebox.

C Leave the Water Reservoir

empty when you are not going to use for a long time
