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.
• Before starting to use your fridge, please call the nearest Authorized service and get
help on the installation, operation and usage of your fridge.
• 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 electrician.
• 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 available.
• 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 ambient 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.
Accessories
Ice tray
• 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.

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 appropriate 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.
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.

PART - 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Make sure to unplug the fridge before starting to clean it.
• Do not wash your fridge by pouring water.
• You can wipe the inner and outer sides with a soft cloth
or a sponge using warm and soapy water.
• Remove the parts individually and clean with soapy water.
Do not wash in washing machine.
• Never use flammable, explosive or corrosive material like
thinner, gas, acid for cleaning.
• You should clean the condenser with broom at least once
a year in order to provide energy saving and increase
the productivity.
Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning.

Defrosting
Refrigerator Compartment;
• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation ; the
defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically
with defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of flowing out.
• You can also pour 1/2 glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.
Freezer Compartment;
The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically. (Use
the plastic scraper provided) The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the way as
the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost operations of the compartment at least
twice a year.
For this;
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to “5” position to freeze the foods
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and
kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life.
Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
• Set thermostat knob to position « 0 » or unplug the unit; leave the door open until
completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process one or more basins of warm water can be
placed in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to MAX position.
