PART 2.
HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE
Thermostat Setting
• Thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator
compartment and freezer compartment. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5,
colder temperatures can be obtained.
• The “ 0 “ position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling is available.
• For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob
between minimum and medium position (1-3).
• For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob medium
position.(3-4)
• 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 compartments. If required, change the temperature setting.
• When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food
in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put
much food inside.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before
restarting in order not to damage the compressor.
• REFRIGERATORS (with 4 star rating): The freezer of the refrigerator cools down to
-18°C and less.
EN - 17 -
“Door Open” Indicator;
• The “Door Open” indicator on the lock slide indicates whether the door is closed
properly or not.
• If the red indicator is visible, the door is still open.
• If the red indicator is invisible, the door is properly closed.
• Observe that the freezer door should always be kept closed properly. This will prevent
food inside the freezer from defrosting; it will avoid heavy ice and frost build-up inside
the freezer and an unnecessary increase in energy consumption.

PART 3.
FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE
Refrigerator Compartment
Refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for few days.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.
• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.
• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator.
• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass
shelf just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.
• To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the
door open for a long time.
EN - 18 -
Freezer Compartment
Freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the
period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging
should be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy
grade, in doubt double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen
food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated
storage time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a
sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer
door to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24
hours is indicated on the name plate ( see Freezing Capacity).
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• When purchasing and storing frozen food products; ensure that the packaging is
not damaged.
• The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen foods are
indicated on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3
months.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.
• Once the food is thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as
possible in order to consume or to freeze once again.
• When making ice cubes, 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.
EN - 19 -
PART 4.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not pour water over the appliance.
• The refrigerator 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
put them in the dishwasher.
• 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
with dry hands.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment:
• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation; the
defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically
with defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the
refrigerator instead of flowing out.
• You can also pour ½ glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.
EN - 20 -
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment:
WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for this
operation as they can damage the refrigeration circuit.
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment. The
frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (use the
plastic scraper if available).
Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain
the efficiency of the freezer.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze the foods
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and
kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life.
Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “0” and switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the
compartment.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.
Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.
• Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to position
“5”. After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.
Replacing the Light Bulb
When replacing the bulb of the refrigerator compartment;
1. Unplug the unit from the power supply,
2. Press the hooks on the sides of the light cover top and remove the light cover
3. Change the present light bulb with a new one of not more than 15 W.
4. Replace the light cover and after waiting 5 minutes plug the unit.
EN - 21 -
PART 5.
If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the
following.
The appliance does not operate,
Check if;
• There is a power failure,
• The mains plug is not properly plugged in, or is loose
• The thermostat setting is on position “0”,
• The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which
is working into the same socket.
The appliance performs poorly;
Check if;
• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The doors are not closed perfectly,
• There are not enough ventilation ducts on the kitchen unit as mentioned in the
Installation Manual.
If there is noise;
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise
(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is quite
normal. If these sounds are different check if;
• The appliance is installed firmly as described in the Installation Manual.
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.
BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator;
Check if;
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole).
EN - 22 -
If your fridge is not cooling enough;
Your fridge 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)
• Tropical Climate Class is described as between 16°C and 43°C of ambient
temperatures according to EN ISO15502 standards.
• Appliance complies with EN15502, IEC60335-1 / IEC60335-2-24, 2004/108/EC
standards.
Recommendations
• In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the “cooling section” of
refrigerators is positioned inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. When
the compressor is working, this wall is covered with frost or water drops. Do not
worry. This is quite normal. The appliance should be defrosted only if an excessively
thick ice layer forms on the back wall.
• If the appliance is not used for a long time (for example during the summer
holidays), set the thermostat knob to position “0”. Defrost and clean the refrigerator
leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
