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.
•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, Gas ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
•Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
•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.
• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
• The adjustable front legs should be adjusted to make sure your appliance is level and stable. 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 back with warm water added with a tea spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts after cleaning.

PART - 2. HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
Information on the Frost Free Technology
The Frost Free refrigerators are different from the other static refrigerators in terms of their operational system.
In normal refrigerators, in the freezing section, the humidity from the humid food entering the refrigerator during door swings causes frosting inside the freezing section. For melting the snow and frost that have been formed, it is necessary to carry out processes such as powering off the refrigerator, taking out the food that needs to be kept cold during this process, removing the accumulated frost.
As for the case in frost free refrigerators, it is entirely different in freezer compartment. The dry and cold room is blown homogeneously at many points to the cooling and freezing sections by means of the fan. The cold air that is distributed homogeneously even in the inter-spaces among shelves not only makes sure that all your food is cooled equally and properly, but it also does not allow for humidification and frosting. Cooling compartment is cooled statically.
Therefore, your Frost Free refrigerator that you have provides you with great convenience in use in addition to its large volume and aesthetical look.
EN - 6 -
Thermostat Setting
Thermostat knob
Cooling compartment
It ensures that the temperature settings in the cooling and freezing compartments of your refrigerator be performed automatically. It may be set to any value ranging from the values 1 to 5. As you turn the thermostat setting knob from 1 to 5, the cooling degree rises. For saving energy in winter months, you may operate your refrigerator at a lower position.
Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.
Cooling compartment thermostat knob;
4 - 5 : For further cooling.
2 - 3 : For normal utilization.
1 : For less cooling.
Warnings about Temperature Adjustments
•It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.
•Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings and the quantity of food kept inside the 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.
•This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C - 43°C range.
EN - 7 -
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.
Bottle holder (In some models)
In order to prevent the bottles to slip or fall over you can use the bottle holder. You can also prevent making noise that will be done when you open or close the door.
All written and visual descriptions in the accessories may vary according to the appliance model.

PART - 3. FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE
Refrigerator Compartment
•To prevent humidification and odour formation, the food should be placed in the refrigerator in enclosed cups or with their top being covered.
•The hot food and drinks should also be cooled in the room temperature before being placed in the refrigerator.
•Please do not prop the packaged food and cups against the lamp and cover of the cooling compartment.
•The fruits and vegetables may be placed directly in the vegetable holder without being wrapped separately.
Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.

Freezer Compartment
•Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing the frozen food for a long time and producing ice.
•Please place the food you would like to freeze initially in the upper basket of the deep freeze in such a way that it shall not exceed the declared freezing capacity of your refrigerator. Please do not place the food you shall newly freeze nearby the already frozen food.. You may place your food next to the other frozen food after they are frozen
(for at least 24 hours).
•You should freeze the food you shall freeze (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.) by dividing them into portions in such a way that they can be consumed once.
•Please do not refreeze the frozen food once they are thawed. It may pose a danger for your health since it might cause problems like food poisoning.
•Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they are cold. You would cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze to become putrefied.
•As you buy frozen food, makes sure they were frozen under appropriate conditions and that the package is not torn.
•While storing the 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.
•The frozen food has to be transported before it perishes and it should be placed in the fast freezing shelf as soon as possible. Please do not use the door shelves for freezing purposes.
•If the frozen food package has been humidified and it has a foul smell, the food might have previously been stored under suitable conditions and gone rotten. Please do not buy such food!
•The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the environment temperature, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food type and the length of period that elapsed from the time the food was bought to the time it entered the freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the package and never exceed the storage duration.
•During long lasting power cuts, please do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. Your refrigerator shall preserve your frozen food in the environment condition of 25°C for about 12 hours. This value falls in high environmental temperatures. During longer lasting power cuts, do not refreeze your food and consume it as soon as possible.
Some recommendations have been specified on pages 12, 13 and 14 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore, the frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.
