Points to be paid attention to when the relocation of the refrigerator

1.Your refrigerator should be unplugged.Before transportation of your refrigerator, it should be emptied and cleaned.

2.Before it is re-packaged, shelves, accessories, crisper, etc. inside your refrigerator should be fixed with adhesive tape and secured against impacts. Package should be bound with a thick tape or sound ropes and the transportation rules on the package should be strictly observed.

3.Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.

Before you start the refrigerator,

Check the following before you start to use your refrigerator:

1.Attach 2 plastic wedges as illustrated below. Plastic wedges are intended to keep the distance which will ensure the air circulation between your refrigerator and the wall. (The picture is drawn up as a representation and it is not identical with your product.)

2.Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in the “Maintenance and cleaning” section.

3.Connect the plug of the refrigerator to the wall socket. When the fridge door is opened, fridge internal lamp will turn on.

4.When the compressor starts to operate, a sound will be heard. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running and this is quite normal.

5.Front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.

Electrical connection

Connect your product to a grounded socket which is being protected by a fuse with the appropriate capacity.

Important:

The connection must be in compliance with national regulations.

•The power plug must be easily accessible after installation.

•Electrical safety of your refrigerator shall be guaranteed only if the earth system in your house complies with standards.

7 EN

•The voltage stated on the label located at left inner side of your product should be equal to your network voltage.

•Extension cables and multi plugs must not be used for connection.

B A damaged power cable must be replaced by a qualified electrician.

B Product must not be operated before it is repaired! There is the risk of electric shock!

Disposing of the packaging

The packing materials may be dangerous for children. Keep the packing materials out of the reach of children or dispose of them by classifying them in accordance with the waste instructions stated by your local authorities. Do not throw away with regular house waste, throw away on packaging pick up spots designated by the local authorities.

The packing of your refrigerator is produced from recyclable materials.

Disposing of your old refrigerator

Dispose of your old refrigerator without giving any harm to the environment.

•You may consult your authorized dealer or waste collection center of your municipality about the disposal of your refrigerator.

Before disposing of your refrigerator, cut out the electric plug and, if there are any locks on the door, make them inoperable in order to protect children against any danger.

Placing and Installation

A If the entrance door of the room where the refrigerator will be installed is not wide enough for the refrigerator to pass through, then call 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 an efficient operation. If the refrigerator is to be placed in a recess in the wall, there must be at least 5 cm distance with the ceiling and at least 5 cm with the wall. Do not place your product on the materials such as rug or carpet.

4.Place your refrigerator on an even floor surface to prevent jolts.

8 EN

Adjusting the legs

If your refrigerator is unbalanced; You can balance your refrigerator

by turning its front legs as illustrated in the figure. The corner where the leg exists is lowered when you turn in the direction of black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. Taking help from someone to slightly lift the refrigerator will facilitate this process.

Door Open Warning

*May not be available in all models

An audio warning signal will be given when the door of your product is left open for at least 1 minute. This warning will be muted when the door is closed or any of the display buttons (if any) are pressed.

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.

MAX.

WarmCold

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 ensurethatthestoragecompartments 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.

12 EN

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.

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.

Freezing

Freezing food

You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen 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.
