PART- 1 . BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
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 Information
• While carrying and positioning the fridge, do not give damage to the cooler gas circuit.
• If your old fridge has a lock, break or remove the lock before discarding it, because
children may get trapped inside it and may cause an accident.
• Old fridges and freezers contain isolation material and refrigerant with CFC. Therefore,
take care not to harm environment when you are discarding your old fridges.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• If your appliance uses R600 as a refrigerant – you can learn this information from the
label on the cooler- you should be careful during shipment and montage to prevent
your appliance’s cooler elements from being damaged. Although R600a is a
environmental friendly and natural gas, as it is explosive, in case of a leakage to be
occurred due to a damage in the cooler elements move your fridge from open flame
or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few
minutes.
• Please read the instruction manual carefully before installing and using your
appliance. Our company is not responsible of the damage occurred due to misuse.
• Follow all instructions on your appliance and instruction manual, and keep this
manual in a safe place to resolve the problems that may occur in the future.
• This appliance is produced to be used at houses and it can only be used in house
and for the specified purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use.
Such use will cause the guarantee of the appliance to be cancelled and our company
will not be responsible for the losses to be occurred.
• This appliance is produced to be used in houses and it is only suitable for cooling /
storing foods. It is not suitable for commercial or common use and/or for storing
substances except for food. Our company is not responsible for the losses to be
occurred in the contrary case.
Please ask your municipal authority about the disposal of the W EEE for
the reuse, recycle and recovery purposes.
Conformity Information
• Tropical Class is defined for the environment temperatures between 16°C and 43°C
in accordance with the TS EN ISO 15502 Standards.
• The appliance is designed in compliance with the EN15502, IEC60335-1 /

Security 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.
• Please do not use a multi-way socket or an extension cable.
• Please do not insert a plug whose cable is damaged, torn or
worn-out into the socket.
• Please never pull, bend or damage the cable.
• This product has been designed for utilization by adults; please
do not let children play with the device and dangle their body by
hanging on the door.
• Never ever take out the plug from the socket with wet hands in
order not to cause any electrical shock!
• Please do not ever place acidic drinks in glass bottles and cans
in the deep-freeze compartment of your refrigerator. Bottles and
cans may burst out.
• For your safety, please do not place any explosive and flammable
materials in the refrigerator. Place the drinks with high alcohol
content into the cooling compartment of the device with their
lids tightly closed and in a vertical position.
• Avoid any manual contact as you take out the ice made in the
deep freeze compartment; the ice may cause burns and/or cuts.
• Never ever touch the frozen food with bare hands! Do not eat the ice cream and ice
cubes immediately after you taken them out of the deep freeze compartment!
• Please do not refreeze the frozen food once they are thawed. It may pose a danger
for your health since it might cause problems such as food poisoning.
• Please do not cover the body and\or top of the refrigerator with cloth, table cover etc.
This will negatively affect the performance of the refrigerator.
• Secure the accessories inside the appliance in order to prevent them get damaged
while moving.
• The appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they don’t play with the appliance.
• If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or service
agent or similary qualified people in order to avoid a hazard.

Installation and Operation of your Refrigerator
• The operation voltage of your refrigerator is 220-240 V and 50 Hz.
• A specially grounded plug has been connected to the power cable of your refrigerator.
This plug should be used with a specially grounded socket of 16 amperes. If there
is no such socket in your house, please have it installed by an authorized electrician.
• Our company shall not be held responsible for damages that
may arise due to utilization with no grounding installation.
• Place your refrigerator in a suitable spot that it will not be exposed
to direct sunlight.
• It should be at least 50 cm away from heat sources such as
cookers, ovens, wing radiators and stoves and at least 5 cm
away from electrical ovens.
• Your refrigerator should not be used in the open air and should
not remain under the rain.
• If your refrigerator is juxtaposed with a deep freeze, it is
necessary to leave a space of at least 2 cm between them in
order to prevent condensation on the outer surfaces.
• Please do not place any heavy objects on your refrigerator and
place your refrigerator in a suitable spot in such a way that there
will be a free space of minimum 15 cm on the top.
• If your are going to place the refrigerator beside your kitchen
cabinets then you should keep a clearance of at least 2 cm’s
between them.
• To prevent the condenser (the black backside component with
fins) from touching the wall, put on the plastic distance guide in
its place rotating 90°.
• To ensure smooth and vibration-free operation of your refrigerator, the adjustable
front feet must be set at the suitable height and mutually balanced. You can ensure
this by turning the adjustable feet clockwise (or counter-clockwise). This process
should be performed before the food is placed in the refrigerator.
• Before using your refrigerator, wipe all its parts with warm water in which you shall
add one teaspoon of food soda, then rinse it with clean water and dry it. After the
cleaning process is completed, place all the parts back.
Before Starting to Operate Your Refrigerator
• During the first operation or to ensure the efficient operation of
the device following the relocation processes, allow your
refrigerator to remain idle for 3 hours (in a vertical position),
then insert the plug to the socket. Otherwise, you may damage
the compressor.
• The first time you operate your refrigerator, an odor might be smelt. This odor shall
disappear once your refrigerator starts cooling.

the appliance label.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, set active
SF mode 3 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer.
• 3 hours after being activated, your refrigerator starts giving signals. This signal tells
that the quickfreezer compartment is ready for the foods to be placed in it. Your
refrigerator will give intermittent beep sounds for 1 minute in every 5 minutes; provided
that the doors are not opened, this signal giving will last 1 hour. When this sound is
heard, foods to be frozen must be placed away from the already frozen ones. W henthe
door of the freezer or cooler is opened, this signal stops. When your foods are cooled
enough, your refrigerator will automatically go out of the quick freezing mode.
