Using your refrigerator

5

11 EN

Thermostat setting button

The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;

• Seasonal temperatures,

• Frequent opening of the door and

leaving the door open for long periods,

• Food put into the refrigerator without
cooling down to the room temperature,

• The location of the refrigerator in the

room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).

• You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons by
using the thermostat.

Operating temperatures are controlled by
the thermostat knob and may be set at
any position between 0 and 5 (the
coldest position).
The average temperature inside the
fridge should be around +5°C (+41°F).
Therefore adjust the thermostat to obtain
the desired temperature. Some sections
of the fridge may be cooler or warmer
(such as salad crisper and top part of the
cabinet) which is quite normal. We
recommend that you check the
temperature periodically with a
thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is
kept to this temperature. Frequent door
openings cause internal temperatures to
rise, so it is advisable to close the door
as soon as possible after use.

Dual cooling system:

Your refrigerator is equipped with two

separate cooling systems to cool the
fresh food compartment and freezer
compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food
compartment and freezer compartment
do not get mixed.
Thanks to these two separate cooling
systems, cooling speed is much higher
than other refrigerators. Odors in the
compartments do not get mixed. Also
additional power saving is provided
since the defrosting is performed
individually.

Reversing the doors

Proceed in numerical order

12 EN

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

3. Make sure raw foods are not in
contact with cooked foods in the fridge.

4. Maximum frozen food storage volume
is achieved without using the drawers
provided in the freezer compartment.
Energy consumption of your appliance is
declared while the freezer compartment
is fully loaded on shelves without the use
of the drawers.

5. It is recommended that you place
foodstuffs on top shelf of freezer for initial
freezing.

Compartment for keeping
perishable food (low temperature
/-20C - +30C).

This compartment was designed to store
frozen food, which can be defrosted
slowly (meat, fish, chicken,etc) as
needed. Low temperature compartment
is the coldest place in refrigerator where
dairy products (cheese,butter), meat fish
or chicken can be kept in ideal conditions
storage.
Vegetables and/or fruits should not be
placed in this compartment.

Freezing fresh food

 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 packagings

must be resistant to cold and humidity
and they must be airtight. The packaging
material of the food must be at a
sufficient thickness and durability.
Otherwise the food hardened due to
freezing may puncture the packaging. It
is important for the packaging to be
closed securely for safe storage of the
food.

 Frozen food must be used immediately

after they are thawed and they should
never be re-frozen.

 Placing warm food into the freezer

compartment causes the cooling system
to operate continuously until the food is
frozen solid.

 Please observe the following

instructions to obtain the best results.

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

1. El frigorífico debe estar desenchufado.

Antes de transportar el frigorífico, vacíelo y
límpielo.

2. Antes de empaquetarlo de nuevo, los
estantes, accesorios, cajones, etc. dentro del
frigorífico deben fijarse con cinta adhesiva y
asegurarse contra los golpes. El embalaje

2. Conecte el enchufe del aparato al toma de
corriente de la pared. Cuando la puerta del
frigorífico esté abierta, la luz interior del
frigorífico se encenderá.

3. Cuando comienza a funcionar el
compresor, se oye un sonido. El líquido y los
gases contenidos en el sistema de
refrigeración pueden también generar ruidos,
incluso aunque el compresor no esté
funcionando, lo cual es normal.

4. Es posible que las aristas delanteras del
aparato se noten calientes al tacto. Esto es
normal. Estas zonas deben permanecer
calientes para evitar la condensación.

Conexión eléctrica
