Get to know your appliance
Warning
Below information about accessories are
supplied only for reference. Below accessories
may not be exactly same as the accessories
of your appliance.
Prior to startup
Before you start operating your appliance, the
following points should be re-checked for
safety:
• Is the appliance standing level on the floor?
• Is there sufficient space for good air
circulation?
• Is the interior clean? (Also see the section
‘Cleaning and care’)
• Set the thermostat knob half way between
1 and 4 or Min. and Max.
• Now connect the appliance to the mains.
Do not place foodstuff into the refrigerator until
the temperature has reached the desired level.
Do not place hot objects or any
appliance that generates heat
on the top trim otherwise the
top trim may be damaged.

1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)
4 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)
(Or)
Min. = Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting)
Max. = Highest cooling setting
(Coldest setting)
Please choose the setting according to the
desired temperature.
The interior temperature also depends on
ambient temperature, the frequency with which
the door is opened and the amount of food
kept inside.
Frequently opening the door causes the interior
temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to close
the door again as soon as possible after use.
The normal storage temperature of your
appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). If the
thermostat knob is turned counter clockwise
from position 1, the appliance will be switched
off and “click” sound will be heard. Lower
temperatures can be obtained by adjusting
the thermostat knob towards Position 4.
We recommend checking the temperature
with a thermometer to ensure that the storage
compartments are kept to the desired
temperature. Remember at take the reading
immediately since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you
remove it from the freezer.
Setting the operating
temperature
(Fig. 2)
The operating temperature is regulated by the
temperature control.

Indicator lights
There are three coloured indicator lights located
on the front of the appliance which shows the
operating mode of the freezer. (Fig. 2)
Green Indicator (1) Illuminates when the
appliance is connected to the mains and will
glow as long as electricity is available. The
green light will not glow if the thermostat is
set to '0' position. The green indicator does
not give any indication of the temperature
inside the freezer.
Amber Indicator (2) This indicator will glow
when the fast freeze switch (4) is on and will
continue to glow until the fast freeze switch is
turned off. The compressor will run
continuously while fast freeze switch is on.
Fast freeze operation is for freezing fresh food.
Red Indicator (3) Illuminates:
a) If the pre-set temperature can not be
maintained.
b) If excessive amounts of fresh food are
placed inside.
c) If the appliance door is left open accidentally.
Thermostat knob (5) Thermostat knob is
located on the indicator light set.
IMPORTANT:
When you press the fast freeze switch, there
may be a short delay before the compressor
starts to operate. This is normal and does not
indicate a compressor fault.

Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and
place it in the freezer.
As soon as the water has turned into ice, you
can take out the ice cubes.
Never use sharp objects such as knives or
forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk
of injury!
Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put
the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short
moment.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are going to be
frozen, push the fast freeze switch 24 hours
before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze
compartment.
It is strongly recommended to keep fast freeze
switch on 24 hours to freeze maximum amount
of fresh food declared as freezing capacity.
Take special care not to mix frozen food and
fresh food.
Defrosting of the appliance
Excessive build-up of ice will affect the freezing
performance of your appliance.
It is therefore recommended that you defrost
your appliance at least twice a year, or
whenever the ice build-up exceeds 7 mm.
Defrost your appliance when there is only little
or no food in it.
Take out the deep-frozen food from the
drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen food in several
layers of paper, or a blanket, and keep it in a
cold place.
Unplug the appliance or switch off the circuit
breaker to start the defrosting process.
Take out the accessories (like shelf, drawer
etc.) from the appliance (Fig. 4) and use a
suitable container to collect the thawing water.
Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing area is marked with
symbol on the door liner.
You can use the appliance for freezing fresh
food as well as for storing pre-frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations given
on the packaging of your food.
Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may
burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as
coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the food, the
freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside the
freezer will not rise.
Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food always
separated with freshly placed food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling
compressor will work until the food is completely
frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult to open just
after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is
due to the pressure difference which will
equalize and allow the door to open normally
after a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing
the door. This is quite normal.

Cleaning and care
Interior and Exterior Surfaces
Attention
Always unplug the power cable or switch
off the circuit breaker before cleaning.
Clean the exterior using lukewarm water and
a mild detergent.
Never use detergents, abrasive or acidic
agents.
Wipe the inside compartment dry.
Be careful to prevent water from getting into
contact with the electrical connections of the
temperature control or the interior light.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a
long period of time, unplug the power cable
and remove all food. Clean the appliance and
keep the door open.
To preserve the appearance of your appliance,
you can polish the exterior and the door
accessories with a silicone wax.
Clean the condenser at the back of the
appliance once a year using a brush or a
vacuum cleaner. Dust build-up leads to
increased energy consumption.
Inspect the door gasket at regular intervals.
Clean with water only, and wipe totally dry.
Cleaning of the accessories
Drawers:
To clean a drawer, pull it out as far as possible,
tilt it upwards and then pull it out completely.
6
Use a sponge or a soft cloth to remove thawing
water if necessary (Fig. 5).
Keep the door open during defrosting.
For quicker defrosting, place containers with
warm water inside the appliance.
Never use electrical devices, defrosting sprays
or pointed or sharp-edged objects such as
knives or forks to remove the ice.
After the defrosting is done, clean the inside
(see the section ‘Cleaning and care’).
Reconnect the appliance to the mains. Place
the frozen food into the drawers and slide the
drawers into the freezer.

Practical tips and notes
Freezing
• Always leave food to thaw in a container that
allows the thawing water to run off.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowable
freezing capacity when freezing fresh food
(see the section "Freezing")
• Do not give children ice-cream and ices directly
from the freezer.
The low temperature may cause cold burns on
lips.
• Never re-freeze defrosted food; defrosted food
must be consumed within 24 hours. Only food
that has been cooked can be refrozen.
• Do not take out frozen food with wet hands.
• Store only fresh and impeccable food.
• Always use appropriate packaging material
to avoid odour penetration or degradation of
the food.
• Store commercially frozen food in accordance
with the instructions given on the packaging.
• Freeze cooked food in small quantities. This
ensures rapid freezing and maintains the
quality of the food.
• Do not freeze liquids in tightly closed bottles
or containers.
The bottles/containers may burst at low
temperatures.
• Carry pre-frozen food in suitable bags and
place it in your freezer as soon as possible.
Always defrost food in the fridge compartment.

Normal operating noises
Various functional noises are completely
normal due to the operation of the cooling
system of your appliance;
• Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises
are caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside
the cooling system. These noises can still be
heard for a short period of time after the
compressor shuts off.
• Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises
are caused by the expansion and contraction
of the inside walls or some components inside
the cabinets.
• Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched
humming noises are caused by the
compressor. These noises are slightly louder
at the start-up of the compressor and reduce
when the appliance reaches the operating
temperatures.
Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and
noises make sure that;
• Your refrigerator is standing level on all four
feet.
• Your refrigerator is not in contact with the
walls, surrounding objects or kitchen cabinets
and furniture.
• Cans, bottles or dishes inside the refrigerator
are not touching and hitting each other.
• All shelves and bins are mounted correctly
inside the refrigerator cabinets and doors.

What, if....
1- The appliance will not work, even though
it is switched on.
• Check if the power cable is properly
connected!
• Check if the mains supply is in order, or if a
circuit breaker has been tripped!
• Check the temperature control for correct
setting!
2- There is a power failure.
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term
storage of frozen food that are available
commercially and also can be used to freeze
and store fresh food.
Do not open the door in case of a power failure.
For a
rated appliance, frozen food in
the freezer compartment will not be affected
if the power failure lasts shorter than the
“Conservation Time From Failure (hours)”
mentioned in the rating label.
If the power failure is longer than the
“Conservation Time From Failure (hours)”,
then the food should be checked and either
consumed immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.

3- Other possible malfunctions
Not every malfunction is a case for our
customer service. Very often, you can easily
resolve the problem without requesting service.
Before requesting service, please check if the
malfunction has been caused by an operating
error. If this is the case, and a service has
been requested, a service charge will be levied
even if the appliance is still under guarantee.
If the problem persists please contact your
dealer or customer service.
Please have the type and serial number of
your appliance ready when calling. The rating
label is located inside the appliance.
