4 Preparation • Your cooler/freezer should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heater and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens and should not be located under direct sunlight. • Please make sure that the interior of your cooler/freezer is cleaned thoroughly. • If two coolers are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them. • When you operate your cooler/freezer for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours. • Its door should not be opened frequently. • It must be operated empty without placing any food in it. • Do not unplug your cooler/freezer. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the “Recommended solutions for the problems” section. • The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy consumption and for better storage conditions. • Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of the appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.

Refrigerator/User Manual

• This product has been designed to function at ambient temperatures up to 43 °C (90 SDgrF). Even if the ambient temperature falls to -15 °C, frozen food in the freezer does not thaw thanks to its Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System. For the first installation, the product should NOT be placed under low ambient temperatures. This is because the freezer cannot go down to standard operation temperature. When reaching continuous operation, the product can be moved to another place. Thus, later you can place your product in the garage or an unheated room without the concern of causing frozen food to get rotten. However, it is likely that above mentioned low temperatures may cause the freezing of the food in the fridge compartment; thus, please consume the food items in the fridge in a controlled way as needed. When ambient temperature goes back to normal, you may change button setting according to your need. • If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in fridge compartment will freeze. Therefore, we recommend not using the fridge compartment in such low ambient temperatures. You may continue to use the freezer compartment as usual. • In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 5 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key. • Due to temperature change as a result of opening/closing the product door during operation, condensation on the door/body shelves and the glass containers is normal.

5 Using your refrigerator 5.1.

Setting the operating temperature Cold

Warm The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control. 1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting) MAX. = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting) * Additionaly activities quıck fridge function .

We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to take the reading immediately since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.

Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature. The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of foods kept inside. Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise. For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use. The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards Position MAX.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning your fridge at regular intervals will extend the service life of the product.

B WARNING: Unplug the product before cleaning it.

• Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes. • Never use any sharp and abrasive tools, soap, household cleaners, detergent and wax polish for cleaning. • Dissolve one teaspoon of bicarbonate in half litre of water. Soak a cloth with the solution and wrung it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator with this cloth and the dry thoroughly. • Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items. • If you will not use the refrigerator for a long period of time, unplug it, remove all food inside, clean it and leave the door ajar. • Check regularly that the door gaskets are clean. If not, clean them. • To remove door and body shelves, remove all of its contents. • Remove the door shelves by pulling them up. After cleaning, slide them from top to bottom to install. • Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the outer surfaces and chromium coated parts of the product.

6.1. Avoiding bad odours

Materials that may cause odour are not used in the production of our refrigerators. However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of the refrigerator as required can bring forth the problem of odour. Pay attention to following to avoid this problem: • Keeping the refrigerator clean is important. Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odour. Therefore, clean the refrigerator with bi-carbonate dissolved in water every few months. Never use detergents or soap. • Keep the food in closed containers. Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odours. • Never keep the food that have passed best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.

6.2. Protecting the plastic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.
