Warning: Keep ventilation openings in appliance enclosure or in structure for building
in, clear of obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other artificial means to accelerate the defrosting
process.
• Do not use electrical appliances in the refrigerator or freezer compartment of the
appliance.
• If this appliance is to replace an old refrigerator with a lock; break or remove the lock
as a safety measure before storing it, to protect children while playing might lock
themselves inside.
• Old refrigerators and freezers contain insulation gases and refrigerant, which must
be disposed of properly. Entrust the disposal of a scrap unit categorically to competence of your local waste disposal service and contact your local authority or your
dealer if you have any questions. Please ensure that the pipe of work of your refrigerating unit does not get damaged prior to being picked-up by the relevant waste
disposal service.

Information On No-Frost Technology
No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators
in their operating principle.
In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to
door openings and the humidity inherent in the food causes
freezing in the freezer department. To defrost the frost and ice
in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to
turn off the fridge, place the food that needs to be kept frozen
in a separately cooled container, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer department.
The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry
and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments
homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower
fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between
the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus
preventing humidity and freezing.
Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, in
addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

UK - 4 -
Installing and Operating your Fridge
• Before making the connection to the power supply, ensure that the voltage on the
nameplate corresponds to the voltage of the electrical system at your home.
• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• Before starting to use your fridge, please contact the nearest authorized servicer if
help is needed with the installation, operation and usage of your fridge.
• The main power cord of your fridge has a grounded plug. This plug
should be used with a grounded receptacle that has a 16 amper
fuse minimum. If you don’t have a receptacle conforming with this,
please have one installed by a qualified electrician.
• We do not take responsibility for any damages that occur due to
ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge in a place where it is not exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, ovens
and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from electrical
ovens.
• This appliance should never be used outdoors or left under the
rain.
• Fit the plastic wall spacers to the condenser on the back of the
refrigerator in order to prevent it from touching the wall and affecting performance.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be
at least 2 cm between the appliances to prevent humidity on the
outer surface. Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your
fridge in a suitable place where there is at least 15 cm of clearance space available on the upper side.
• If you place your fridge next to your kitchen cabinets, leave a space of 2 cm between
the appliance and the cabinets.
• Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black vanes at the rear) by turning it 90° to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.
• The adjustable front legs should be set at an appropriate height to allow your fridge
to operate in a stable and proper way. You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise or counter-clockwise. This should be done before placing food in the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water mixed with a teaspoonful of
sodium bicarbonate and then rinse with clean water and dry. After cleaning, replace
all parts in their proper locations in the fridge.
Before Using your Fridge
• When operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your
fridge in the upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging it
in to allow efficient operation. Otherwise, you may damage the
compressor.
• Your fridge may have a slight odor when it is operated for the first time. The odor will
fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

CHAPTER 2. USAGE INFORMATION
Temperature Settings
Cooler and Freezer Thermostat Knob
Cooling compartment
The thermostat ensures that the temperature settings in the cooling and freezing compartments of your refrigerator are controlled automatically. It may be set to any value ranging from 1 to 6. As you turn the thermostat setting knob from 1 to 6, the amount of cooling
increases.
Cooling compartment thermostat knob:
5 - 6 : For more cooling.
3 - 5 : For normal utilization.
1 - 3 : For less cooling.
Warnings for Temperature Settings
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C
in terms of its efficiency.
• The thermostat setting should be done by taking into consideration how often the
fresh food and freezer doors are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the
refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located.
• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature
without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not open
doors of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period.
• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your
fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an
energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient
temperature intervals stated in the standards,
according to the climate class stated in the
information label. It is not recommended that your
fridge is operated in the environments which are
out of the stated temperature intervals in terms of
cooling efficiency.

UK - 7 -
The Deep Freeze Compartment
• Use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing the frozen food for a
long time and for producing ice.
• Place the food you would like to freeze initially in the upper basket of the deep freeze
section in such a way that it shall not exceed the declared freezing capacity of your
refrigerator. You may place your food next to the other frozen foods after they are
frozen (for at least 24 hours).
• It is recommended to keep thermostat set at level 5.
• It is recommended that the food which is being newly frozen be kept separate from
the already frozen food.
• Foods should be frozen in single portion sized containers.
• Do not refreeze the frozen food once it is thawed. It may pose a danger to your health
as it might cause problems like food poisoning.
• Do not place hot meals in your deep freeze until they cool down. You could cause the
other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze compartment to become spoiled.
• As you buy frozen food, make sure it was frozen under appropriate conditions and
that the packaging is not torn.
• While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be
observed. If there are no instructions, the food has to be consumed in the shortest
possible period of time.
• Frozen food has to be transported before it thaws and it should be placed in the fast
freezing shelf as soon as possible. Please do not use the door shelves for fast
freezing purposes.
• If the frozen food package has been humidified and it has a foul odor, the food might
have previously been stored under unsuitable conditions and become spoiled.
Please do not buy such food!
• The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the environmental
temperatures, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings,
food types, and the period of time that elapsed from when the food was acquired to
the time it entered the freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the package and
never exceed the storage duration.
• During extended power outages, please do not open the door of the deep freeze
compartment. Your refrigerator will preserve your frozen food in the ambient
environmental temperature of 25°C for about 13 hours. This preservation time period
decreases the higher the ambient environmental temperatures are. During longer
lasting power cuts, you should not refreeze your food.
Some recommendations have been specified on pages 9, 10 and 11 for the placement
and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar,
assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.)
changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore,
the frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired spice should be
added after the food has been thawed.
The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are
margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be
frozen in plastic folios or bags.

CHAPTER 4.
• Make sure to unplug the fridge before starting to clean it.
• Do not wash your fridge by pouring water.
• You can wipe the inner and outer sides with a soft cloth or a
sponge using warm, soapy water.
• Remove the parts individually and clean with soapy water. Do
not wash in washing machine.
• Never use flammable, explosive, or corrosive materials like paint
thinner, gas, or acid for cleaning the fridge.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Cleaning the condenser (back of the appliance) with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner at least once a year will
ensure maximum product efficiency and productivity.
Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning.
UK - 12 -
Defrosting
• Your refrigerator performs fully automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of
defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporization
container behind your refrigerator and evaporates by itself in there.
• Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your refrigerator before cleaning
the vaporization container.
• Remove the vaporization container from its position by unscrewing the screws as
indicated. Clean it with soapy water at specific time intervals. Thus, the odor formation will have been prevented.
Replacing the Bulb
To replace the bulb in the freezer and fridge
compartments;
1- Unplug your fridge.
2- Using a screwdriver, carefully remove the
light cover from the top panel.
3- Replace with a 15 watt bulb.
4- Reinstall the light cover.
5- Wait for 5 minutes before re-plugging the
fridge in and restore the thermostat to its
original position.
UK - 13 -
CHAPTER 5.
• Original packaging and foam may be kept for re-transportation (optional).
• You should wrap your fridge with a thick packaging and band it to the unit. Always
follow the original instructions for transportation found on the packaging for
re-transportation.
• Remove unsecured parts (shelves, accessories, vegetable bins etc.) or secure them
into the fridge by using bands or tape during re-positioning and transportation.
• Always transport your fridge in the upright position.
SHIPMENT AND REPOSITIONING
Repositioning the Door
You can reposition the doors of your fridge. Contact your nearest authorized service
agent for this.
(on some models)
CHAPTER 6. BEFORE CALLING SERVICE
If your refrigerator is not working:
• Is there an electrical failure?
• Has the plug been correctly connected to the socket?
• Has there been a blow-out in the fuse or breaker of the electrical circuit to which the
plug has been connected?
• Are there any faults with the socket? For this purpose, try the plug of your refrigerator
by connecting it to a socket which you are sure is working.
If your refrigerator does not get cold enough:
• Is the thermostat set in the coldest position?
• Are the doors of your refrigerator opened very frequently and do they remain open for
long periods of time?
• Do the doors of your refrigerator fully closed and are the door gaskets sealing
correctly?
• Are any containers or dishes placed in your refrigerator contacting the back wall in
such a way that they are obstructing the air circulation?
• Is your refrigerator over-filled?
• Is there enough space between your refrigerator and the back and side walls?
UK - 14 -
If the food in the Cooling/Freezing compartment is colder than necessary:
• Has a suitable temperature setting be made? (Are the thermostat knobs in the
position “5”?)
• Is there too much newly placed food in the deep freeze compartment?
If there is, the compressor shall operate longer for freezing it; hence it may also possibly
be cooling the food in the cooling compartment more than necessary.
If your refrigerator is operating noisily:
The compressor shall from time to time energize to ensure that the adjusted coolness
level remain fixed. The noises that may be heard from the refrigerator at that time are
normal as required by function.
Once the required coolness level has been achieved, the noises should automatically
diminish.
If there is still noise:
• Has your refrigerator been leveled? Have the feet been adjusted and set?
• Is there anything behind your refrigerator?
• Are the shelves or the plates on the shelves of your fridge vibrating? If so, then
rearrange the shelves and/or plates.
• Are the goods placed in your fridge vibrating? Secure them or rearrange on the shelf.
Crackling (Ice Cracking) Noise:
• It is heard during the automatic defrosting process as the ice which has formed on
the cooling coil melts and falls into the drain trough.
• Once the device has been cooled or heated (the expansions and contractions of the
actual product material).
Short Cracking Noise:
• It is heard when the thermostat turns the compressor on and off.
Compressor Noise:
• It is a normal engine noise. This noise indicates that the compressor is operating
normally.
• As the compressor is being energized, it might run a bit more noisily for a short
period of time.
Bubbling and gurgling sound:
• This noise is emitted as the coolant fluid flows through the pipes within the system.
Water flowing sound:
• This is the normal sound of water flowing into the drain trough during the defrosting
process.
Air blowing sound:
• It is the normal fan sound. This sound may be heard due to air circulation in No Frost
refrigerators when the system is operating normally.
UK - 15 -
If the edges of the refrigerator cabinet contacted by the door seal are hot:
• Especially in summer months (in hot weather), there might be warming of the surfaces
contacted by the seal on the refrigerator. This is normal.
If there is moisture on the inner parts of your refrigerator:
• Has the food been properly packaged and sealed? Have the containers been well
dried before they were put into the refrigerator?
• Are the doors of the refrigerator opened very frequently? Once the door is opened,
the humidity found in the air in the room enters the refrigerator. Especially if the
humidity levels in the room are very high. The more frequently the door is opened,
the faster will be the humidification.
• It is normal to have water drops formed on the back wall following the automatic
defrosting process (In Static Models).
If the doors are not being properly closed:
• Are food packages preventing the doors from being closed?
• Have the door compartments, shelves and drawers properly placed?
• Are the door seals defective or torn?
• Is your refrigerator standing on level ground?
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• In case of a sudden power loss or disconnecting and reconnecting of the plug to the
electrical socket, the compressor protective thermal element will be opened as the
pressure of the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator has not yet been
balanced. 4 or 5 minutes later, your refrigerator will start to operate; this is normal.
• If you won’t be using your refrigerator for a long time (such as on summer holidays),
please disconnect the plug from the socket. Clean your refrigerator as per Part 4 of
this document and leave the door open to prevent any humidification or odor formation.
If there is still a problem with your refrigerator although you have followed the
instructions in this book, please consult your nearest authorized service center.
The life cycle of this product as determined and proclaimed by the Ministry of Industry
