Winter Switch: If ambiant temperature is below 16 oC, this switch shall be used as winter switch and it keeps your fridge above 0 oC while freezer is below -18 oC in low ambiants.
3.2 Temperature Settings Warnings
• The ambient temperature, temperature of
the freshly stored food and how often the
door is opened affects the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If required, change the temperature setting.
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efciency.
• When setting the thermostat, take into consideration how often the appliance doors are opened and closed, how much
food is stored in the refrigerator, and the
environment in which the refrigerator is located.
• When the appliance is rst switched on,
allow it to run for 24 hours in order to
reach operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large quantity of food inside.
• Unplug your appliance during a power cut to prevent damage to the compressor. Once power is restored, delay plugging in your appliance for 5 to 10 minutes. This will help prevent damage to the appliance's components.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling efciency of the appliance.
• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature (T/SN = 10°C
- 43°C) intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class displayed on the information label. We do not recommend operating your appliance out of the stated temperature limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
Climate class and meaning: T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance
is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.
ST (subtropical): This refrigerating
appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C.
N (temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C.
SN (extended temperate): This
refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C.
3.3 Temperature indicator
In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in the coldest area.
To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make sure the message “OK” appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does not appear, this means temperature has not been set properly
It may be difcult to see the indicator, make sure it is properly lit.Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilisation of the temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary, with a new temperature setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively and wait at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.
NOTE: Following repeated openings
(or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal build up of ice crystals of ice crystals (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment, evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a
OK
EN - 36
lower position until compressor off periods are obtained again.
Store food in the coldest area of the refrigerator.
Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most appropriate cooling area. The coldest area is just above the crisper.
The following symbol indicates the coldest
area of your refrigerator.
To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is located at
the level of this
symbol, as shown in
the illustration.
The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by the
lower side of the
sticker (head of the arrow). The coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level with the arrow head. The coldest area is below this level.
As these shelves are removable, make sure they are always at the same level with these zone limits described on the stickers, in order to guarantee temperatures in this
area.
3.4 Accessories
3.4.1 Ice Tray
• Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely frozen, you can twist the tray as shown below to remove the ice cubes.
4 FOOD STORAGE
4.1 Refrigerator Compartment
• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• 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.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick
to it. Do not open the refrigerator door
frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean sh
are loosely wrapped and stored on the
glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately
helps prevent ethylene-sensitive
vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene­releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, g etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the
refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat
EN - 37
products and clean any leakages on the
shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air ow
passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
NOTE: Most efcient use of energy is
ensured in the conguration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance, and shelves evenly distributed, position of door bins does not affect energy consumption.
• For normal working conditions, it will
be sufcient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge
compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
Do not put hot food in the refrigerator
immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling
of the food.
• Meat, sh, etc. should be store in the
chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat
products and fruit vegetables are not
stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator
in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efcient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

4.2 Freezer Compartment
The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and 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 polythene bags and plastic containers
are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one
sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen
food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
EN - 38
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have
deteriorated.
The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the 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 packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will nd that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.
Important note:
Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume
a strong taste when they are stored for a
long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should be added after
the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

The evaporation tray and the water drain
hole should be cleaned periodically with
the defrost drain plug to prevent the
water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator instead of owing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by
pouring half a glass of water down it.
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment
Frost accumulated in the freezer compartment should be removed regularly (using the plastic scraper provided). The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the same way as the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost function, at least twice a year.
For this:
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze food completely.
During defrosting, frozen food should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable
rise in temperature will shorten its storage life. Remember to use this food within a relatively short period of time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “•” and disconnect the appliance from the mains. Leave the door open until the unit is completely defrosted.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to the MAX
position.
Replacing LED Lighting
If your appliance has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should
be changed by authorized personnel only.

6 SHIPMENT AND
REPOSITIONING
7 BEFORE CALLING AFTER-
SALES SERVICE
6.1 Transportation and Changing Positioning
• The original packaging and foam may be
kept for re-transportation (optional).
• Fasten your appliance with thick
packaging, bands or strong cords and follow the instructions for transportation on the packaging.
• Remove all movable parts (shelves,
accessories, vegetable bins, and so on) or x them into the appliance against shocks using bands when re-positioning
or transporting.
Always carry your appliance in the
upright position.
6.2 Repositioning the Door
• It is not possible to change the opening
direction of your appliance door if door handles are installed on the front surface of the appliance door.
• It is possible to change the opening
direction of the door on models without
handles.
• If the door-opening direction of your
appliance can be changed, contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre to change the opening direction.
If your refrigerator is not working properly,
there may be a minor problem. Check the
following.
The appliance does not operate Check if:
There is power
• The mains is connected
• The thermostat setting is on the “•”
position
• The socket is defective. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket.
The appliance performs poorly Check if:
• The appliance is overloaded
• The doors are closed properly
• There is any dust on the condenser
• There is enough space near the rear and
side walls.
The appliance is noisy
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 normal. If you hear a different sound, check whether:
• The appliance is level
• Anything is touching the rear of the appliance
• Objects in the appliance are vibrating.
Your refrigerator is operating noisily
The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance.
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Clicking noise occurs: When the
thermostat switches the compressor on/
off.
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor
EN - 43
may cause more noise for a short time when it is rst activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing occurs: Due to the ow of the
refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water owing noise occurs: Due
to water owing to the evaporation container. This noise is normal during
defrosting.
There is water in the lower part of the refrigerator
Check if:
The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).
Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched off or unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the appliance in or restarting it in order to prevent damage to the compressor.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is located at the rear of the appliance. Therefore, water droplets or ice may form on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor at specied intervals. This is normal, there is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless there is excessive ice.
If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long period of time (such as during the summer holidays), set the thermostat to “•” position, defrost and clean your fridge,
leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of mildew and odour.
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the above instructions, please consult the nearest authorised service centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use only. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with this, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any
repair and failure within the guarantee period.
8 HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well­ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food
is thawing. This will save energy. Frozen
food left to thaw outside of the appliance
will result in a waste of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquids should be
covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered, the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy. Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too
frequently as warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, replace the
gasket.
