• It should be at least 50 cm away from heat sources such as
cookers, ovens, wing radiators and stoves and at least 5 cm away
from electrical ovens.
• Your refrigerator should not be used in the open air and should not
remain under the rain.
• If your refrigerator is juxtaposed with a deep freeze, it is necessary
to leave a space of at least 2 cm between them in order to prevent
condensation on the outer surfaces.
• Please do not place any heavy objects on your refrigerator and
place your refrigerator in a suitable spot in such a way that there
will be a free space of minimum 15 cm on the top.
• If your are going to place the refrigerator beside your kitchen
cabinets then you should keep a clearance of at least 2 cm’s
between them.
• To prevent the condenser (the black backside component with
ns) from touching the wall, put on the plastic distance guide in its
place rotating 90°.
• To ensure smooth and vibration-free operation of your refrigerator,
the adjustable front feet must be set at the suitable height and
mutually balanced. You can ensure this by turning the adjustable
feet clockwise (or counter-clockwise). This process should be
performed before the food is placed in the refrigerator.

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.

• For normal operating conditions, adjusting the temperature value of the freezer partition
of the fridge to -18 / -20 oC will be enough.
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time and
making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh and warm foods to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use for
storage of frozen foods.
• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen
food.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and the foods which is wanted to
freeze) more quickly because of the freezing room’s greater freezing power.
• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, sh and mincemeat) divide them in parts you will
use in one time.
• While freezing fresh foods ; Maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in
24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity , turn the
freezer thermostat knob to position max 24 hours before placing fresh food inthe freezer.
• After placing fresh food in the freezer ,24 hours on max position is generally sufcient,After
24 hours, don not need to set the feezer thermostat knob to position max.
• Attention; In order to save energy, When freezing small amounts of food, don not need
to set the freezer thermostat knob to position max.
• For storing the frozen foods; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should
always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be stored
for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in appopriate containers to maintain the quality
of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest
possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is
probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the
contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting,
how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport
the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the
package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

Short Cracking Noise: It is heard when the thermostat turns on and off the compressor.
Compressor Noise: It is the normal engine noise. This noise indicates that the compressor
is operating normally. As the compressor is being introduced, it might operate a little bit
more noisily for a short period of time.
Bubbling and burbling sound: This noise is emitted as the coolant uid ows through
the pipes within the system.
Water owing sound: This is the normal sound of water owing into the evaporation
container during the defrosting process. This sound may be heard during the defrosting
process performed in the device.
Air blowing sound: It is the normal fan sound. This sound may be heard due to air
circulation in No Frost refrigerators as the system is operating normally.
If the edges of the refrigerator cabin contacted by the door seal are hot;
• Especially in summer months (in hot weathers), there might be heating on the surfaces
contacted by the seal on the refrigerator when the compressor is operating and this is
quite normal.
