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 refrigerator or freezer compartment of the
appliance.

• If this appliance is to replace an old refrigerator with a lock; break or remove the lock
as a safety measure before storing it, to protect children while playing might lock
themselves inside.

• Old refrigerators and freezers contain insulation gases and refrigerant, which must
be disposed of properly. Entrust the disposal of a scrap unit categorically to
competence of your local waste disposal service and contact your local authority or
your dealer if you have any questions. Please ensure that the pipe of work of your
refrigerating unit does not get damaged prior to being picked-up by the relevant
waste disposal service.

Information On No-Frost Technology

No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in
their operating principle.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to door
openings and the humidity inherent in the food causes
freezing in the freezer department. To defrost the frost and ice
in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to
turn off the fridge, place the food that needs to be kept frozen
in a separately cooled container, and remove the ice gathered
in the freezer department.

The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry
and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments
homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower
fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between
the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus
preventing humidity and freezing.

Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, in
addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

Safety warnings

Warning: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting

process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use electrical
appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of
the type recommended by the manufacturer. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance
enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not damage the refrigerant
circuit.

• Do not use multiple receptacles or extension cords.

• Do not plug in damaged, torn or old plugs.

• Do not pull, bend or damage the power cord.

• Do not place glass bottles or beverage cans in the freezer
compartment. Bottles or cans may explode.

• Before starting to use your fridge, for your safety do not use both
glass shelves and baskets at the same time.

• Don't move the freezer glass shelves during taking the foods,
these glass shelves slide out for maintenance, they must
remain in their definite position in normal use.

Installing and Operating your Fridge

• Before making the connection to the power supply, ensure that the voltage on the
nameplate corresponds to the voltage of the electrical system at your home.

• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.

• Before starting to use your fridge, please contact the nearest authorized servicer if
help is needed with the installation, operation and usage of your fridge.

• The main power cord of your fridge has a grounded plug. This plug
should be used with a grounded receptacle that has a 16 amper
fuse minimum. If you don’t have a receptacle conforming with this,
please have one installed by a qualified electrician.

• We do not take responsibility for any damages that occur due to
ungrounded usage.

• Place your fridge in a place where it is not exposed to direct sunlight.

• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, ovens
and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from electrical
ovens.

• This appliance should never be used outdoors or left under the
rain.

• Fit the plastic wall spacers to the condenser on the back of the
refrigerator in order to prevent it from touching the wall and affecting
performance.

• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be
at least 2 cm between the appliances to prevent humidity on the
outer surface. Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your
fridge in a suitable place where there is at least 15 cm of clearance
space available on the upper side.

• If you place your fridge next to your kitchen cabinets, leave a space of 2 cm between
the appliance and the cabinets.

• Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black vanes at the rear) by turning
it 90° to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.

• The adjustable front legs should be set at an appropriate height to allow your fridge
to operate in a stable and proper way. You can adjust the legs by turning them
clockwise or counter-clockwise. This should be done before placing food in the fridge.

• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water mixed with a teaspoonful of
sodium bicarbonate and then rinse with clean water and dry. After cleaning, replace
all parts in their proper locations in the fridge.

Before Using your Fridge

• When operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your
fridge in the upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging it
in to allow efficient operation. Otherwise, you may damage the
compressor.

• Your fridge may have a slight odor when it is operated for the first time. The odor will
fade away when your fridge starts to cool.
