Installing and operating your freezer
Before starting to use your freezer, you should pay attention to the following points:
• Operating voltage for your freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• Mains cord of your freezer has a grounded plug. This plug should be used with a grounded receptacle that has a 16 ampere fuse minimum. If you don’t h ave 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 freezer in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• 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.
• Your freezer should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
• W hen your freezer 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 freezer, and install your freezer in a suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on the upper side.
• The adjustable front legs should stabilized in an appropriate height to allow your freezer 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 freezer.
• Before using your freezer, 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.
EN - 5 -
• Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black vanes at the rear) by turning it 90° as shown in the figure to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.
Before Using your freezer
• W hen it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your freezer in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to allow efficient operation. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
• Your freezer may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade away when your freezer starts to cool.
Information on No-Frost Technology
No-frost fridges differ from other static fridges in their operating principle.
In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge in the door openings and the humidity of the food causes freezing in the freezer department. To defrost the snow and ice in the freezer department, you should turn off the fridge, take the food that needs to be kept in a constant temperature off the fridge, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer department periodically.
The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry and cold air is blo w n to the fridge and freezer departments homogeneously from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously even betw een the shelves cools all your food equ ally and uniformly, thus prevents humidity and freezing.
Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, besides its huge volume and stylish appearance.

Warnings about Temperature Adjustments
• Your temperature adjustments will not be deleted when an energy breakdown occurs.
• Do not pass to another adjustment before completing an adjustment
• Temperature adj ustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the fridge and ambient temperature of the place of your fridge.
• 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.
CHAPTER 3.
• Use your freezer to keep frozen food for a long time and to produce ice.
• Do not place food you want to freeze next to frozen food.
• You should freeze your food (meat, minced meat, fish etc) in portions that allow consuming in a time.
• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts in order to use in one time.
• For storing the frozen food; 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.
• Maximum load; if you want to load large quantities and use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the drawers (Except the bottom one). You can store bulky items directly on the shelves.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen food 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 food 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.
PLACING THE FOOD
EN - 10 -
• If you would use maximum freezing capacity of your freezer
• Take the frozen food in the upper basket to other baskets and activate “Fast Freezing” mode. “Fast Freezing” mode will be deactivated automatically after 24 hours. Place the food you want to freeze to the upper basket of the freezer department without exceeding the freezing capacity of your fridge. (Your refrigerator has the capacity to freeze 15 kg at 25°C and 14 kg at 32°C) Then reactivate the “Fast Freezing” mode. You can put your food next to other frozen food after they are frozen (minimum 24 hours after “Fast Freezing” mode is activated for the 2nd time).
• If you would freeze about 3 kg food in your freezer:
• You can place your food without touching other frozen food and activate “Fast Freezing” mode. You can put your food next to other frozen food after they are frozen (after minimum 24 hours).
• Do not re-freeze the frozen goods after being melted. This may cause health issues like food poisoning.
• Do not place hot food to the freezer before cooling them. This may cause the spoiling of food frozen before in the freezer.
• When you are buying frozen food, make sure that they frozen in proper conditions and the package is undamaged.
• Follow the instructions for storing conditions on the package of the frozen food while storing them. If there is no explanation, food must be consumed in a short time.
• If the package of frozen food is h umid and smells bad, it may be stored under inappropriate conditions and spoiled. Do not buy this kind of food!
• Storing time for frozen food may differ according to the ambient temperature, frequency of door openings, thermostat adjustments, type of food and the time between the buying of the food and placing of the food in the freezer. Always follow instructions on the package and do not exceed storing period.
For A+ models
• If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for about 9,5 hours at 25°C ambient temperature and about 8 hours at 32°C ambient temperature. Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten.
