CHAPTER 1.
BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE
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.

EN - 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.

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 odour when it is operated for the first time. The odour
will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

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

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.
• To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for
upper and middle section. For bottom section, please use lower basket.
• Place the food you would like to freeze initially in the upper shelf 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 odour, 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.
