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.
• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• There can be an odor when you rst switch on the appliance. It will disappear after the
appliance starts to cool.
• Before making the connection to the power supply, ensure that the voltage on the
nameplate corresponds to the voltage of electrical system in your home.
• Insert the plug into a socket with an efcient ground connection. If the socket has
no ground contact or the plug does not match, we suggest you to call an authorized
electrician for assistance.
• The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. Power supply
(AC) and voltage at the operating point must with the details on the name plate of the
appliance (name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).
• We do not take responsibility for damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
• 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.
• 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 heavy items on the appliance.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially in the interior, before
use (See Cleaning and Maintenance).
• Installation procedure into the kitchen unit is given in the The
installation procedure into the kitchen unit is given in the Installation
Manual. This product is intended to be used in proper kitchen units
only.
EN -5-

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 rst time or after transportation, keep your
fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to allow efcient
operation. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the rst time; the smell will fade
away when your fridge starts to cool.
PART 2.
HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
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.
• The “ “ position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling is available.
• For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between
minimum and medium position (1-3).
• For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob medium
position.(3-4)
• Note that; the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often
the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
If required, change the temperature setting.
• When you rst switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food
in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put
much food inside.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting
in order not to damage the compressor.
• The freezer of the refrigerator cools down to -18°C and less.
EN -6-
“Door Open” Indicator;
• The “Door Open” indicator on the lock slide indicates whether the door
is closed properly or not.
• If the red indicator is visible, the door is still open.
• If the red indicator is invisible, the door is properly closed.
• Observe that the freezer door should always be kept closed properly.
This will prevent food inside the freezer from defrosting; it will avoid
heavy ice and frost build-up inside the freezer and an unnecessary
increase in energy consumption.
Temperature indicator
In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a
temperature indicator located in the coldest area.
To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make
sure the message “OK” appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does
not appear, this means that the temperature setting has not been done properly.
Since “OK” appears in black, it will be difcult to see this indication if the
temperature indicator is badly lit. To be able to see this indication properly, there
should be enough light.
Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilisation of the
temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary, with a new temperature
setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively and wait
at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.
NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh
food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature
setting indicator. If there is an abnormal ice crystals build up (bottom wall of the appliance)
on the refrigerator compartment evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature,
frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until
compressor off periods are obtained again.
Putting food in the coldest area of the refrigerator
Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most
appropriate cooling area. The coldest area is just above the
crisper.
The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your
refrigerator.
To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure
the shelf is located at the level of this symbol, as shown in the
illustration.
EN -7-
The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by
the lower side of the sticker (head of the arrow). The
coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level
with the arrow head. The coldest area is below this
level.
As these shelves are removable, make sure they
are always at the same level with these zone limits
described on the stickers, in order to guarantee
temperatures in this area.
Each type of food has an ideal conservation
temperature and consequently a particular location to
follow.

FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCEPART 3.
Refrigerator Compartment
Refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for few days.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.
• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.
• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator.
• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf
just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
• To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door
open for a long time.
Freezer Compartment
Freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the
period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should
be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade, in
doubt double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen
food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage
time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a
sufciently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door
to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is
indicated on the name plate ( see Freezing Capacity).
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• When purchasing and storing frozen food products; ensure that the packaging is not
damaged.
• The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen foods are
indicated on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.
