HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE

Thermostat setting

• TThe 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 “ • “ position shows
thermostat is closed and no cooling will take place.

• For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between
minimum and medium positions (1-3).

• For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob to the

• 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 compartment. If required,
change the temperature setting.

• When you rst switch on the appliance, leave the appliance running continuously for 24
hours in order to reach operating temperature.

• During this time, try to limit the number of times that the door is opened and do not store
a large quantity of food in the appliance.

• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before
restarting or plugging the unit in. This avoids damage to the compressor.

• The freezer of the refrigerator can cool up to -18°C .

• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C - 32°C
range.

Super switch (If super switch is available)

• Normally set this switch to ‘0’ position. Except when
the ambient temperature is low like in winter. (ie.below
16°C) or when the freezer temperature needs to be

maintained lower. In that case, turn the switch to ‘1’

position ON.

• To set super switch ON that is on the thermostat box,

press the switch down to ‘1’ position. The switch will lit.

• When the freezer compartment is cooled down to sufcient temperature, or the weather
gets hot, turn the super switch off to save electrical consumption.

• When you rst switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable cooling, the appliance

should work 24 hours continuously until it cools down to sufcient temperature.

• In this time do not open the door so often and 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-plugged the unit in order not to damage the compressor.

Super freezing: If ambient temperature is more than 16°C, this switch must be used as
superfreeze switch.For maximum freezing capacity, the switch must be turned on 24h
before the placing fresh foods. After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours ON position

is generally sufcient. In order to save energy, please turn off this switch after 24 hours from

placing fresh food.

Warnings for Temperature Settings

• 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.

• 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, according 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 efciency.

• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C - 32°C
range.

Accessories
“Door Open” Indicator;

• The « Door Open » indicator on the handle shows whether the door
has closed properly or whether it is still open.

• If the indicator is red, the door is still open.

• If the indicator is white, the door is properly closed.

• Observe that the freezer’s door should always be kept closed. This will
prevent food products from defrosting; it will avoid heavy ice and frost
build-up inside the freezer and an unnecessary increase in energy
consumption.

Making Ice cubes;
Ice tray ;

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

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

FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator Compartment

The refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for few days.

• Do not place food in directly in contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Leave some space around the food to allow air to circulate.

• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.

• Always make sure food is wrapped or stored in closed containers before placing in the
refrigerator.

• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator.

• We recommend that you loosely wrap meat and store it on the glass shelf just above the
vegetable bin, where the air is cooler.

• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.

• To prevent the cold air from escaping, try not to open the door too often and do not leave
it open for a long time.

Freezer Compartment

The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food and for storing frozen food for the
period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes.

• When freezing fresh food, wrap and seal the food properly; that is the packaging should

be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade, if in

doubt double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.

• Do not allow the fresh food 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

sufciently 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 food that can be stored 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 food is 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 has thawed, it must not be refrozen. You must cook it as quickly as
possible. In order to consume or to freeze once again.

10

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.

• Do not wash your Fridge Freezer by pouring water on it.

• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.

• The refrigerator 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
dishwasher.

• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water

and dry carefully. When you have nished cleaning, reconnect the plugto the mains

supply with dry hands.

• Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year. This will help you to save on
energy costs and increase productivity.

THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.
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 owing out.

• You can also pour ½ glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.

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

efciency 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 “•” 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.

When replacing the bulb of the fridge;

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.

Replacing LED Lighting

If your fridge has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by
authorized personnel only.

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF
INSTALLATION POSITION

Transportation and Changing of Installation Position

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

• During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong
rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.

• Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects

(ie,shelves,crisper…) should be taken out or xed with bands in order to prevent them

from getting damaged.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES
SERVICE

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 plugged in properly, or is loose

• The thermostat setting is on position “•”,

• The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working
into the same socket.

The appliance performs poorly,
Check if:

• You have overloaded the appliance,

• The doors are not closed properly,

• 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 you
hear a different sound,

check if:

• The appliance is installed rmly as described in the Installation Manual.

• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.

12

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator,
Check if:

• The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain
hole).

• If your fridge is not cooling sufciently:

• Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the
standards, according to the climate class stated on the information label. We do not
recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits. This will reduce

the cooling efciency of the fridge.

Recommendations

• Unplug the refrigerator during a power cut in order to prevent any damage to the
compressor. Wait 5-10 minutes before plugging the appliance in once power returns.

• If you unplug your refrigerator for any reason, wait al least 5 minutes before plugging it

in. This will avoid damage to the refrigerator’s components.

• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden at the rear of the appliance. Therefore,
water droplets or icing may occur 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 the icing is excessive.

• If you do not intend to use your fridge for a long period of time (e.g. in summer holidays),
put the thermostat to “•” position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door
open to prevent humidity and smells.

• If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

• The appliance you have purchased is designed for domestic use and can only be used
for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial use. If the consumer uses the
appliance in a way that does not comply with this, we emphasise that the manufacturer
and dealer will not be responsible for any repair or failure within the guarantee period.

Tips for saving energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not

near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.

3. W hen thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature

of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. This
will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.

4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity
increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks
and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.

5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently
as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily
often.

6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc ) closed

7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
