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 have 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 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 freezer.

• Before using your freezer, 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

exceeding 75 mm.

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 co ld air is blowed to the fridge and freezer
departments homogeneously from several points via a
blower fan. Cold air dispersed homoge neously even
betw een 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.
