Using your refrigerator
5
12 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.
13 EN
Defrost
A) Fridge compartment
Fridge compartment performs fullautomatic defrosting. Water drops and a
frosting up to 7-8 mm can occur on the
inner rear wall of the fridge compartment
while your refrigerator cools down. Such
formation is normal as a result of the
cooling system. The frost formation
is defrosted by performing automatic
defrosting with certain intervals thanks to
the automatic defrosting system of the
rear wall. User is not required to scrape
the frost or remove the water drops
Water resulting from the defrosting
passes from the water collection groove
and flows into the evaporator through the
drain pipe and .evaporates here by itself.
Check regularly to see if the drain pipe is
clogged or not and clear it with the stick
in the hole when necessary
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order to
prevent decaying of the frozen food.
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and
without mess, thanks to a special defrost
collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer
of around 7 (1/4”) mm has formed. To
start the defrosting procedure, switch off
the appliance at the socket outlet and
pull out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a cool
place (e.g.) fridge or larder.
Containers of warm water may be placed
carefully in the freezer to speed up the
defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hair dryers, electrical heaters
or other such electrical appliances for
defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water collected in
the bottom of the freezer compartment.
After defrosting, dry the interior
thoroughly Insert the plug into the wall
socket and switch on the electricity
supply.
Using the water dispenser
*optional
It is normal for the first few glasses of
water taken from the dispenser to be
warm.
If the water dispenser is not used for
a long period of time, dispose of first few
glasses of water to obtain fresh water.
1. Push in the lever of the water
dispenser with your glass. If you are
using a soft plastic cup, pushing the lever
with your hand will be easier.
2. After filling the cup up to the level you
want, release the lever.
Please note, how much water flows
from the dispenser depends on how far
you depress the lever. As the level of
water in your cup / glass rises, gently
reduce the amount of pressure on the
lever to avoid overflow.
If you slightly press the arm, the water
will drip; this is quite normal and not a
failure.
Filling the water dispenser's tank
Water tank filling reservoir is located
inside the door rack.
1. Open the cover of the tank.
2. Fill the tank with fresh drinking water.
3. Close the cover.
Do not fill the water tank with any
other liquid except for water such as fruit
juices, carbonated beverages or
alcoholic drinks which are not suitable to
use in the water dispenser. Water
dispenser will be irreparably damaged if
these kinds of liquids are used. Warranty
does not cover such usages.
Some chemical substances and
additives contained in these kinds of
drinks/liquids may damage the water
tank.
Use clean drinking water only.
14 EN
