THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES
Thermostat Setting
FREEZER & REFRIGERATOR THERMOSTAT
Warnings for Temperature Settings
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C
in terms of its efficiency.
• The thermostat setting should be done by taking into consideration how often the
fresh food and freezer doors are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the
refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located.
• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature
without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not open
doors of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period.
• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your
fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an
energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient
temperature intervals stated in the standards,
accordin g to the climate class stated in the
information label. It is not recommended that your
fridge is operated in the environments which are
out of the stated temperature intervals in terms of
cooling efficiency.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL
Freezer thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments.
By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained.
Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.
Freezer & Refrigerator Thermostat Setting;
1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob
between minimum and medium position.
3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob in
the medium position.
5 : For freezing the fresh food. The appliance will work longer. So after you get the
cold condition you must position to previous position.

holder. You can also prevent making noise that will be done when
you open or close the door.
(Only some models)
Fresh dial
In case of the crisper is totally full, the fresh dial is located in front of crisper, should be
opened. By means of this the air in the crisper and humidity rate will be controlled and
endurance life will be increased.
If you see any condensation on glass shelf, you must open this klape which is on behind
of shelf.
All written and visual descriptions in the accessories may vary according to the
appliance model.

PART- 3.
FOOD PLACEMENT
Fridge Compartment
• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the
evaporator and in time will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. W arm food should be allowed to cool at
room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the
refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch to refrigerator back wall as it will cause frost and the packages
can stick here. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• 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.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time
and making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh and warm food to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use for
storage of frozen food.
• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen
food.
• W hile freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts you will
use in one time.

always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be

EN - 9 -
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality
of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest
possib le 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 food 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.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and the food which is wanted to
freeze) more quickly because of the freezing room’s greater freezing power. Fast
freezing shelves are t he midd le dr awers of t he fr eezer comp artmen t
(see in page 18)
• Some recommendations have been spec ified on pages 1 0, 11 and 12 for the
placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.
