4 Preparation
•Your cooler/freezer should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heater and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens and should not be located under direct sunlight.
•Please make sure that the interior of your cooler/freezer is cleaned thoroughly.
•If two coolers are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.
•When you operate your cooler/freezer for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.
•Its door should not be opened frequently.
•It must be operated empty without placing any food in it.
•Do not unplug your cooler/freezer. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the “Recommended solutions for the problems” section.
•The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy consumption and for better storage conditions.
•Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of the appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.
•This product has been designed to function at ambient temperatures up to 43 °C (90 SDgrF). Even if the ambient temperature falls to -15 °C, frozen food in the freezer does not thaw thanks to its Advanced Electronic Temperature
Control System. For the first installation, the product should NOT be placed under low ambient temperatures. This is because the freezer cannot go down to standard operation temperature. When reaching continuous operation, the product can be moved to another place. Thus, later you can place your product in the garage or an unheated room without the concern of causing frozen food to get rotten. However,
it is likely that above mentioned low temperatures may cause the freezing of the food in the fridge compartment; thus, please consume the food items in the fridge in a controlled way as needed. When ambient temperature goes back to normal, you may change button setting according to your need.
•If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in fridge compartment will freeze. Therefore, we recommend not using the fridge compartment
in such low ambient temperatures. You may continue to use the freezer compartment as usual.
•In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 5 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.
•Due to temperature change as a result of opening/closing the product door during operation, condensation on the door/body shelves and the glass containers is normal.

5 Using your cooler/freezer
5.1.Setting the operating temperature
3 |
4 |
|
2 
1 |
MAX. |
Warm
Cold
The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.
1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)
MAX. = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)
Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.
The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of foods kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.
The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards Position MAX.
We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to take the reading immediately since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Figures in this user manual are schematic and may not match the product C exactly. If the subject parts are not included in the product you have
purchased, then those parts are valid for other models.

Operating the product
5.2.Indicator lights
There are three coloured indicator lights located inside the appliance which show the operating mode of the freezer.
Amber Indicator
Illuminates when the thermostat knob is turned to MAX. position and stays on until the fast freeze operation is deactivated manually.
Fast-freeze operation is for freezing fresh food.
Green Indicator
Illuminates when the appliance is connected to the mains and will glow as long as there is electricity present. The green indicator does not give any indication of the temperature inside the freezer.
Red Indicator High Temperature Alarm
After the appliance is turned on for the first time the alarm is not active for 12 hours (The red LED indicator is switched off).
After this period of time the red LED indicator is switched on in the following
situations:
-If the appliance is overloaded with fresh food -If the door is left open by
mistake.In these situations the red LED indicator will continue to be switched on until the appliance reaches the preset temperature. If the red LED indicator is still switched on then wait for 24 hours before calling service.
5.3.Thermostat knob
The thermostat knob is located on the indicator light frame.
Important:
When you press the fast-freeze switch or adjust the set temperature, there may be a short delay before the compressor starts to operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault.
5.4.Freezing
Freezing food
You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing prefrozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.
• Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.
• Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food.
