If you wish to contribute to recycling the packaging materials, you can get further information from the environmental bodies or local authorities.
Before operating your refrigerator
Before starting to use your refrigerator

5 Using your refrigerator
Setting the operating temperature
The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.
Warm Cold
1 2 3 4 5
(Or) Min. Max.
1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting) 5 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)
(Or)
Min. = Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting)
Max. = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C.
Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.
Please note that there will be different temperatures in the cooling area.
The coldest region is immediately above the vegetable compartment.
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.
Using interior compartments
Movable shelves: Distance between the shelves can be adjusted when necessary.
Vegetable drawer: Vegetables and
fruits can be stored in this compartment for long periods without decaying.
Bottle shelf: Bottles, jars and tins can
be placed in these shelves.
Cooling
Food storage
The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks.
Store milk products in the intended compartment in the refrigerator.
Bottles can be stored in the bottle
holder or in the bottle shelf of the door.
Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene
bag in the compartment at the very bottom of the refrigerator.
Allow hot foods and beverages to cool to room temperature prior to placing them in the refrigerator.
• Attention
Store concentrated alcohol only standing upright and tightly closed.
• Attention
Do not store explosive substances or containers with flammable propellant gases (canned cream, spray cans etc.) in the device. There is a danger of explosion.
EN
15
Defrost
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The thawing water flows through the drain channel into a collection container at the rear of the device.
During defrosting, water droplets form at the back of the fridge due to the evaporator.
If not all of the drops run down, they may freeze again after defrosting remove them with a cloth soaked in warm water, but never with a hard or sharp object.
Check the flow of the thawed water from time to time.It may become plugged occasionally.

7 Recommended solutions for the problems
Please review this list before calling the service. It might save you time and money. This list includes frequent complaints that are not arising from defective workmanship or material usage. Some of the features described here may not exist in your product.
The refrigerator does not operate.
• Is the refrigerator properly plugged in? Insert the plug to the wall socket.
• Is the fuse of the socket which your refrigerator is connected to or the main fuse
blown out? Check the fuse.
Condensation on the side wall of the fridge compartment (MULTIZONE, COOL
CONTROL and FLEXI ZONE).
• Very cold ambient conditions. Frequent opening and closing of the door. Highly
humid ambient conditions. Storage of food containing liquid in open containers. Leaving the door ajar. Switching the thermostat to a colder degree.
• Decreasing the time the door left open or using it less frequently.
• Covering the food stored in open containers with a suitable material.
• Wipe the condensation using a dry cloth and check if it persists.
Compressor is not running
• Protective thermic of the compressor will blow out during sudden power
failures or plug-out plug-ins as the refrigerant pressure in the cooling system of the refrigerator has not been balanced yet. Your refrigerator will start running approximately after 6 minutes. Please call the service if the refrigerator does not startup at the end of this period.
• The fridge is in defrost cycle. This is normal for a full-automatically defrosting
refrigerator. Defrosting cycle occurs periodically.
• Your refrigerator is not plugged into the socket. Make sure that the plug is
properly fit into the socket.
• Are the temperature adjustments correctly made?
• Power might be cut off.
The fridge is running frequently or for a long time.

• Your new product may be wider than the previous one. This is quite normal.
Large refrigerators operate for a longer period of time.
• The ambient room temperature may be high. This is quite normal.
• The refrigerator might have been plugged in recently or might have been loaded
with food. Cooling down of the refrigerator completely may last for a couple of hours longer.
• Large amounts of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Hot
food causes longer running of the refrigerator until they reach the safe storage temperature.
• Doors might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time. The warm
air that has entered into the refrigerator causes the refrigerator to run for longer periods. Open the doors less frequently.
• Freezer or fridge compartment door might have been left ajar. Check if the doors
are tightly closed.
• The refrigerator is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the refrigerator
temperature to a warmer degree and wait until the temperature is achieved.
• Door seal of the fridge or freezer may be soiled, worn out, broken or not properly seated. Clean or replace the seal. Damaged/broken seal causes the refrigerator
to run for a longer period of time in order to maintain the current temperature.
Freezer temperature is very low while the fridge temperature is sufficient.
• The freezer temperature is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the freezer
temperature to a warmer degree and check.
Fridge temperature is very low while the freezer temperature is sufficient.
• The fridge temperature might have been adjusted to a very low temperature.
Adjust the fridge temperature to a warmer degree and check.
Food kept in the fridge compartment drawers are freezing.
• The fridge temperature might have been adjusted to a very low temperature.
Adjust the fridge temperature to a warmer degree and check.
Temperature in the fridge or freezer is very high.
• The fridge temperature might have been adjusted to a very high degree.
Fridge adjustment has an effect on the temperature of the freezer. Change the temperature of the fridge or freezer until the fridge or freezer temperature reaches to a sufficient level.
• Doors might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time; open them
less frequently.
• Door might have been left ajar; close the door completely.
• Large amount of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Wait
