THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

Thermostat Setting

FREEZER THERMOSTATREFRIGERATOR THERMOSTAT

Freezer and refrigerator thermostat automatically
regulates the inside temperature of the compartments.
By rotating the freezer thermostat knob from position
1 to 4 and refrigerator thermostat knob from OFF to MAX,
colder temperatures can be obtain. In cold seasons,
you can set lower positions in order to decrease the
energy consumption.

Note that; freezer and refrigerator temperatures affect each other. For example; when
the refrigerator thermostat is at maximum, for obtaining lower temperatures in refrigera­tor compartment, set the freezer thermostat to a higher value. When the freezer thermo­stat is at its maximum, for obtaining lower temperatures in freezer compartment, set the
refrigerator thermostat to a lower value.

If your refrigerator is in an
extremely cold place with
an ambient temperature of
10oC, and if you think the
cooler compartement is
cold with cooler thermostat
set to minimum, you can
set freezer thermostat to
lower positions.

Default positions values of your refrigerator are 2.5-3 for freezer compartement

We advise you not to change your freezer thermostat positions except above
mentioned conditions. Your cooler thermostat can be set according to the ambient
temperature as mentioned above.

The values mentioned in the table are recommended thermostat positions. These
values can change according to usage conditions.

Note that; the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how
often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compart­ment. If required, change the temperature setting.

• In order to prevent sweating and accumulation of bacteria inside the refrigerator
compartmen, it is recommended not to set the refrigerator thermostat to OFF posi­tion even there is no storage of food inside.

• When you first switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable cooling, the appliance
should work 24 hours continuously until it cools down to sufficient temperature.

• In this time do not open the door so often and do not place a lot of food inside the
appliance.

• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before
restarting or re-plugging the unit in order not to damage the compressor.

ACCESSORIES

Ice tray

• Fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer compartment.

• After the water completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to

get the ice cube.

PART- 4.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator Compartment

• To set the refrigerator compartment to 2-3 graphic bar will be enough for normal conditions.

• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed contain­ers in the refrigerator.

• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room tem­perature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator com­partment.

• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will
use in 1-2 days.

• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

Freezer Compartment

• To set the freezer compartment to 2-3 graphic bar will be enough for normal conditions.

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time and
making ice cubes.

• Do not put fresh and warm foods to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use for
storage of frozen foods.

• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.

• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and the foods which is wanted to freeze)
more quickly because of the freezing room’s greater freezing power.

• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts you will use in
one time.

• While freezing fresh foods ; Maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24
hours is indicated on the appliance label.

• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity , turn the freezer
thermostat knob to position max 24 hours before placing fresh food inthe freezer.

• After placing fresh food in the freezer ,24 hours on max position is generally sufficient,After 24
hours, don not need to set the feezer thermostat knob to position max.

• Attention; In order to save energy, When freezing small amounts of food, don not need to set
the freezer thermostat knob to position max.

• For storing the frozen foods; 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.

• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.

• Frozen foods should be transported in appopriate 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 foods 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.

PART- 5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect unit from the power supply before cleaning.

• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.

• The refrigerator and freezer compartment should be
cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of
soda and lukewarm water

• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water.
Do not clean them in the washing machine.

• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After
washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When
the cleaning operations have been completed reconnect
the plug of the unit with dry hands.

• You should clean the condenser with broom at least once
a year in order to provide energy saving and increase
the productivity.

THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.

Defrosting

• Defrosting occurs fully automatically during
operation; the defrost water is collected by
the evaporating tray and evaporates auto­matically.

• The evaporating tray should be cleaned pe­riodically to prevent the water from collect­ing on the bottom of the refrigerator instead
of flowing out.

PART- 6.

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF
INSTALLATION POSITION

Transportation and Changing of Installation Position

• The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be concealed if required.

• In transportation the appliance should be tied with a wide stripe or a strong rope.
The rules written on the corrugated box must be applied while transporting.

• Before transporting or changing old installation position, all the moving objects (i.e.,
shelves, crisper…) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent the
shake.

normal. If these sounds are different check that;

• The appliance is well levelled

• Nothing is touching the rear.

• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
