EN - 5 -
• When removing ice from the ice-making compartment, do not touch it.
Ice may cause frost burns and/or cuts.
• Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Do not eat ice-cream or ice

occur around this area and you may remove it.
Installing and operating your freezer
Before starting to use your freezer, you should pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your freezer where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores,
and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your freezer should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• When your freezer is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least
2 cm between them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
• Do not place anything on your freezer, and install your freezer in a suitable
place so that at least 15 cm of free space is available above it.
• Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance is level and stable. You can
adjust the legs by turning them in either direction. This should be done before placing
food in the freezer.
• Before using your freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and
a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, then rinse with clean water and dry.
Place all parts in the freezer after cleaning.
• Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at the rear)
by turning it 90° (as shown in the gure) to prevent the condenser from
touching the wall.
• The freezer should be placed against a wall with a free space not
exceeding 75 mm.
• This appliance is designed to work in difcult climate conditions (up to 43 °C or 110°
F) and is powered with ‘Freezer Shield’ technology which ensures that the frozen food
in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So
EN - 6 -
Before using your freezer
• When using your freezer for the rst time, or after transportation, keep it
in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains.
This allows efcient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• Your freezer may have a smell when it is operated for the rst time. This
is normal and the smell will fade away when your freezer starts to cool.
Information on No-Frost Technology
No-frost freezers differ from other static freezers in their operating
principle.
In normal freezers, the humidity entering the freezer due to opening the
door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the freezer
compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you
are periodically required to turn off the freezer, place the food that needs
to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container and remove the ice
gathered in the freezer compartment.
The situation is completely different in no-frost freezers. Dry and cold air
is blown into the freezer compartment 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 freezer allows you ease of use, in addition to its
huge capacity and stylish appearance.
you may then install your appliance in an unheated room without having to worry about
frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. When the ambient temperature returns to normal,
you may continue using the appliance as usual.

Warnings about temperature adjustments
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in
terms of its efciency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings
and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.
• Do not pass to another adjustment before completing an adjustment.
• 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, 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.
• This appliance is designed for use
at an ambient temperature within the
10°C - 43°C range.
Climate Class Ambient Temperature (°C)
T Between 16 and 43 (°C)

PLACING THE FOOD
• The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for the
period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes..
• Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, sh and mincemeat) divide them in portions you
will use in a single serving.
• For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always
be followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more
than 3 months from the purchased date.
• Maximum load: if you want to store large quantities of food and use the maximum net
capacity of the freezer, you can remove all the sliding drawers but you should keep
the upper shelf aps. Thanks to this, it is possible to store bulky items directly on the
shelves.
• 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
possible time.
Accessories
Making Ice Cubes

tray
• Fill with water to the level of line
• Hold the left end of the lever and set the ice-tray on

If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the door. This will help maintain the
temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for about 15 hours at
25°C. Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These
foods must be cooked and eaten.
• If a package of frozen food shows signs 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
packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
If you would use maximum freezing capacity of your freezer:
• While freezing fresh foods, the maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be
frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label. (your refrigerator has the
capacity to freeze 25 kg at 25°C ambient)
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, activate
Super Freeze (SF) mode 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, 24 hours is generally sufcient for freezing.
”Super Freeze” mode will be deactivated automatically in 2-3 days to save energy.
If you would freeze a small amount (up to 3 kg) in your freezer:
• Place your food without touching already frozen food and activate “Fast Freezing”
mode. You can put your food next to other frozen food after it is completely frozen (after
minimum 24 hours).
• Do not re-freeze frozen food after it has thawed. This may cause health issues, such as
food poisoning.
• Allow hot food to completely cool down before placing it in the freezer.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
