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 electrical system at your home.
• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• You can offer help from the service to install and switching on the appliance.
• Mains 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 confirming with this, please have it done by a qualified electirician.
• We do not take the responsibility of the damages that occur due
to ungrounded usage.
• 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, ovens
and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from
electrical ovens.
• It should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
• Fit the plastic wall spacers to the condenser at the back of the
refrigerator in order to prevent cleaning to the wall for good
performance.
• 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.
• If you will place your fridge next to your kitchen cabinets, leave a
space of 2 cm between them.
• 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 stabilized in an appropriate height to allow your
fridge operate in a stable and proper way. 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 parts with warm water added with a tea spoonful of
sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts after
cleaning.
Before using your fridge
• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep
your fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to
allow efficient operation. 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.

THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Thermostat setting
• Thermostat automatically regulates the inside
temperature of the refrigerator compartment and
freezer compartment.By rotating the knob from position
1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained. «0»
position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling
will be avaible.
• For short-term storage of food in the freezer
compartment, you can set the knob between 1 and 3
position.
• For long-term storage of food in the freezer
compartment, you can set knop 3-4 position.
Note that ; the ambiant temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often
the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If
required,change the temperature setting.
Super switch
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before
restarting or re-plugged the unit in order not to damage the compressor.
(If super switch is available)
• Normally set this switch to ‘ ’ position. Except when the
ambient temperature is low like in winter.(ie.below 16°C) or
when the freezer temperature needs to be maintained lower.
In that case, turn the switch to ‘ ’ position ON.
• To set super switch ON that is on the thermostat box, press the
switch down to ’position. The switch will lit.
• When the freezer compartment is cooled down to sufficient
temperature, or the weather gets hot, turn the super switch off
to save electrical consumption.
• When you first switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable
cooling, the appliance should work 24 hours continuously until
it cools down to sufficient temperature.
• In this time do not open the door so often and place a lot of
food inside the appliance.

Accessoires
Ice tray
(In some models)
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer compartment.
• After the water completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to get
the ice cube.
Magic shelf
(In some models)
Magic shelf which is on the Crisper Cover(safety glass) (see part 7-page 13) was designed
to give you more place and comfort placing the things in the appliance. This shelf is
mobile so you can arrange long or big containers on the crisper cover.
If turbo fan is available on your product ;
(In some models)
Turbo fan
• Do not block air inlet and outlet openings when storing food, otherwise air circulation
that provided by turbo fan will be impaired.
Bottle holder
(In some models)
In order to prevent the bottles to slip or fall over you can use the bottle holder. You can also
prevent making noise that will be done when you open or close the door.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
Refrigerator compartment
• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the
evaporator and in time will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at
room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the
refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can
stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which
you will use in 1-2 days,in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment(that is
above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storing
conditions.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
Freezer compartment
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time
and making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible of food to be
frozen is in contact with the cooling surface.
• Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you
will use in one time.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to
consume them in as short period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb the frozen foods.
• 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 strorage life of froozen 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 instruductions
printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not be
opened easily. It’s quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be
opened easily.
