CHAPTER 1.
BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE
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 blowed to the fridge and freezer departments homogeneously from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously even between the shelves cools all your food equally and uniformly, thus prevents humidity and freezing.
Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, besides its huge volume and stylish appearance.
Safety Instructions
• If the model contains R600a-see name plate under refrigerant (the coolant isobutane), naturals gas that, is very environmentally friendly but also combustible. When transporting and installing the unit care must be taken to ensure that none of the refrigeration circuit components become damaged. In the event of damage avoid naked flames or ignition sources and ventilate the room in which the unit is placed for a few minutes.
Warning: Keep ventilation openings in appliance enclosure or in structure for building
in, clear of obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other artificial means to accelerate the defrosting process.
• Do not use electrical appliances in the freezer.

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 adjustments 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
UK - 9 -
Page 11
• 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 humid 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.
• 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.

Temperature Warning:
The temperature display flashes “LF” and an audible warning sounds, when the
temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm.
A rise in the temperature may be caused by;
• Frequent door opening for long periods of time
• Loading with large quantities of warm foods
• High ambient temperature
• An error with the appliances.
Check Warnings;
Your freezer warns you if the temperatures for freezer departments are in improper levels or when a problem occurs in the appliance. Warning codes are displayed in the Freezer Department Indicators. Warning codes appear in the Freezer Compartment Setting Displays.
Also a warning sound are heared.
Showing code and buzzer will continue until you pushes SET or MODE button. When you push one of these buttons, buzzer will stop. “LF” warning will be disappear in 15 minutes. You don’t have to call your service, this condition may appear due to reasons above. You can keep storing your foods in your freezer.

If your fridge is operating too loudly;
Normal Noises
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking
• Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Compressor noise
• Normal motor noise. This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.
Bubbling noise and splash:
• This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water flow noise:
• Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.
UK - 17 -
Page 19
Air Blow Noise:
• Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
If the edges of freezer cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;
• Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.
If humidity builds up inside the freezer;
• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the freezer?
• Is the freezers door opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the freezer when the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
• Building up of water drops on the rear wall after automatic defrosting is normal. (in Static Models)
If the door is not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door joints broken or torn?
• Is your freezer on a level surface?
If your freezer is not cooling enough;
Your freezer 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 Class Ambient 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)

Page 20
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Compressor protection function will be activated after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet. Your freezer will start after 5 minutes, there is nothing to worry about.
• If you will not use your freezer for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your freezer according to Chapter 4 and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult to the nearest Authorized service.
• The lifetime of your appliance stated and declared by the Department of the Industry is 10 years (the period for retaining parts required for the proper functioning of the appliance).
Advice for Saving Energy
• Do not install the appliance close to heat producing appliances. Such as cooker, oven, dishwaher or radiator, and locate the appliance in the coolest part of the room.
• Locate the appliance ina cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliances are not obstructed.
• Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the freezer.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compresor to switch on unnecessarily often.
• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
• Cover foods before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Refer to the “temperature settings” section for the suggested temperature control settings.
• Do not block cold air vents. Doing so causes the freezer to run longer and use more energy.
• Keep freezer full.
• Level the freezer so that the door closes tightly.
• Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or paint brush to prevent an increased power consumption.
• Keep door gaskets clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
