HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
Thermostat Setting
• The 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 “ 0 “ 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 first 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

Defrosting the Refrigerator
• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator during operation; the defrost water is
collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• 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 ½ glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check
the following.
The appliance does not operate,
Check if;
• There is a power failure,
• The mains plug is not properly plugged in, or is loose
• The thermostat setting is on position “0”,
• The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which
is working into the same socket.
The appliance performs poorly;
Check if;
• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The doors are not closed perfectly,
• There are not enough ventilation ducts on the kitchen unit as mentioned in the
Installation Manual.
If there is noise;
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise
(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is quite
normal. If these sounds are different check if;
• The appliance is installed firmly as described in the Installation Manual.
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator;
Check if;
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the
drain hole).

If your fridge is not cooling enough;
Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the
standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not
recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling
effectiveness.
Climate ClassAmbient Temperature (°C)
T
Between 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
N
Between 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• In case of a sudden power loss or disconnecting and reconnecting of the plug to the
electrical socket, the compressor protective thermal element will be opened as the
pressure of the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator has not yet been
balanced. 4 or 5 minutes later, your refrigerator will start to operate; this is normal.
• If you won’t be using your refrigerator for a long time (such as on summer holidays),
please disconnect the plug from the socket. Clean your refrigerator as per Part 4 of
this document and leave the door open to prevent any humidification or odor
formation.
If there is still a problem with your refrigerator although you have followed the
instructions in this book, please consult your nearest authorized service center.
The life cycle of this product as determined and proclaimed by the Ministry of Industry
