Installing and operating your fridge
Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:
• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• We do not take the responsibility for damage that may occur due to ungrounded
usag e.
• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, Gas
ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from
electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at
least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a
suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on the upper side.
• The adjustable front legs should be adjusted to make sure your appliance is level
and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise (or in the opposite
direction). This should be done before placing food in the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all inside surfaces and drawers
with warm water add ed with a te a sp oo nful of so dium
bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Put all the
parts back into the fridge after cleaning.
• Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at the
rear) by turning it 90° as shown in the figure to prevent the
condenser from touching the wall.
• Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance not exceeding 75
mm.
Before Using your Fridge-Freezer
• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep
your fridge in the upright position for 3 hours before plugging it
in. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade
away when your fridge starts to cool.

Information on No-Frost technology
No -fr ost refrigerato rs differ fro m o ther 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
co mpart me nts h omo gen eou sly an d evenly fro m
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.

• Please do not refreeze the frozen food once they are thawed. It may pose a danger for
your health since it might cause problems such as food poisoning.
• Do not place hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You would
cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze to become putrefied.
• When you buy frozen food, make sure that they were frozen under appropriate conditions
and the package is not torn.
• While storing the frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly
be observed. If there is not any explanation, the food must be consumed within the
shortest time possible.
• Frozen foods must be carried without melting them and placed on the quick freezing
shelf as soon as possible. Do not use door shelves for freezing purpose.
• The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the ambient temperature,
the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food type and
the time elapsed from the purchase time of the food to the time it is placed into the
freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the package and never exceed the
indicated storage duration.
• If you keep the freezer door open for a long time, there may be a frost accumulation on
the rear surface of the freezer section, just behind the freezer baskets. This situation
can block the inside air circulation. To solve this situation, first open the door, pull the
plug of the appliance and wait for the ice to melt, then clean the water inside with a
dry cloth.
