EN This appliance is designed to operate at temperatures specified in the table below is equipped with

Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System [AETCS] which ensures that at the advised setting [4 - four on the knob] the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. When first installed the product MUST NOT be placed in low ambient temperatures because the freezer will not reduce to it’s standard operating temperature. Once it has reached its steady operating state it can be re-located. So you may then install your appliance in a garage or an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. However at low ambient temperatures mentioned above, fridge contents are likely to freeze, so check and consume food in the fridge accordingly. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may change the knob setting to suit your needs. If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in the fridge compartment will freeze.So, we recommend you don’t use the fridge compartment in such low ambient conditions. You can continue using the freezer compartment as usual.

• Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate into your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food. Functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display and so on will operate according to the needs to consume minimum energy under these circumstances.

*May not be available in all models An audio warning signal will be given when the door of your product is left open for at least 1 minute. This warning will be muted when the door is closed or any of the display buttons (if any) are pressed.

If your refrigerator is unbalanced; You can balance your refrigerator by turning its front legs as illustrated in the figure. The corner where the leg exists is lowered when you turn in the direction of black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. Taking help from someone to slightly lift the refrigerator will facilitate this process.

Proceed in numerical order .

5 Using your refrigerator

Setting the operating temperature Cold

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 . 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. 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.

The thermostat knob is located on the top trim. Important: When you press the fast-freeze switch or adjust the set temperature, there may be a short delay before the compressor starts to operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault.

Freezing food You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food. Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food. • Attention Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst when the liquid in it is frozen. Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes. Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label. In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible. 16

Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.

• Attention Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food. When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment. If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes. You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal. Fast freeze

If large amounts of fresh food are going to be frozen, adjust the control knob to max. 24 hours before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze compartment.

EN It is strongly recommended to keep the knob at MAX. position at least 24 hours to freeze maximum amount of fresh food declared as freezing capacity. Take special care not to mix frozen food and fresh food.

Remember to turn the thermostat knob back to its previous position once food has frozen.

• Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to a size to be consumed, and frozen in separate packages. In this way, all the food should be prevented from being refrozen by thawing.

• In order to protect the nutritional value, the aroma and the color of the foods as much as possible, vegetables should be boiled for a short period of time before freezing. (Boiling is not necessary for foods such as cucumber, parsley.) Cooking time of the vegetables frozen in this way is shortened by 1/3 than that of the fresh vegetables. • To extend the storage times of frozen foods, boiled vegetables must first be filtered and then hermetically packaged as in the all types of foods. • Foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without package. • The packaging material of the food to be stored should be air-tight, thick and durable and should not deform with cold and humidity. Otherwise, the food that is hardened by freezing might pierce the package. 17

Sealing the package well is also important in terms of securely storing the food.

The following packaging types are suitable for use to freeze the food: Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil, plastic foil, vacuum bags and coldresistant storage containers with caps. The use of the following types of packaging is not recommended to freeze the food; Packaging paper, parchment paper, cellophane (gelatin paper), garbage bag, used bags and shopping bags. • Hot foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without cooling. • When placing unfrozen fresh foods in the freezer compartment, please note that it does not contact with frozen foods. Cool-pack (PCM) can be placed to the rack immediately below the quick freezer rack for preventing them from being getting warm. • During the freezing time (24 hours) do not place other food to the freezer. • Place your foods to the freezing shelves or racks by spreading them so that they will not be cramped (it is recommended that the packaging does not come into contact with each other). • Frozen foods must be immediately consumed in a short period of time after defrosting and must never be frozen again.

• Do not block the ventilation holes by putting your frozen foods in front of the ventilation holes located on the back surface.

• We recommend you to attach a label onto the package and write the name of the foods in the package and the freezing time. Foods suitable for freezing: Fish and seafood, red and white meat, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbaceous spices, dairy products (such as cheese, butter and strained yoghurt), pastries, ready or cooked meals, potato dishes, souffle and desserts. Foods not suitable for freezing: Yoghurt, sour milk, cream, mayonnaise, leaved salad, red radish, grapes, all fruits (such as apple, pears and peaches). • For foods to be frozen quickly and thoroughly, the following specified amounts per package should not be exceeded. -Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg -Meat, 1-1.5 kg • A small amount of foods (maximum 2 kg) can also be frozen without the use of the quick freezing function. To obtain the best result, apply the following instructions: 1. Activate the quick freezing function 30 hours before placing your fresh foods. 2. 30 hours after pressing the button, firstly place your food that you want to freeze to the third drawer from the bottom with higher freezing capacity. If you have food remained, place them in front of the second drawer from the bottom. 18

3. The quick freezing function will be automatically inactivated after 50 hours.

4. Do not try to freeze a large quantity of food at a time. Within 24 hours, this product can freeze the maximum food quantity specified as «Freezing Capacity … kg/24 hours» on its type label. It is not convenient to put more unfrozen/fresh foods to the freezer compartment than the quantity specified on the label. • You can review the Meat and Fish, Vegetables and Fruits, Dairy Products tables for placing and storing your foods in the deepfreezer.

5.2. Recommendations for Preservation of Frozen Foods

• While purchasing your frozen foods, make sure that they are frozen at appropriate temperatures and their packages are not broken.

• Put the packages on the freezer compartment as soon as possible after purchasing them. • Make sure that the expiration date indicated on the packaging is not expired before consuming the packaged ready meals that you remove from the freezer compartment.

The ice in the freezer compartments is automatically thawed.

EN The EN 62552 standard requires

(according to specific measurement conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of food for each 100 liter of freezer compartment volume can be frozen at a room temperature of 25°C in 24 hours.

• Since some spices in cooked meals may change their taste when exposed to long-term storage conditions, your frozen foods should be less seasoned or the desired spices should be added to the foods after the thawing process.

5.5. Defrosting the frozen foods

Depending on the food diversity and the purpose of use, a selection can be made between the following options for defrosting:

• At room temperature (it is not very suitable to defrost the food by leaving it at room temperature for a long time in terms of maintaining the food quality) • In the refrigerator • In the electrical oven (in models with or without fan) • In the microwave oven CAUTION: • Never put acidic beverages in glass bottles and cans into your freezer due to the risk of explosion. • If there is moisture and abnormal swelling in the packaging of frozen foods, it is likely that they were previously stored in an improper storage condition and their contents deteriorated. Do not consume these foods without checking.

5.6. Recommended Temperature Settings

Freezer compartment setting

-20 °C This is the default temperature setting.

-21,-22,-23 or -24 oC These settings are recommended when the ambient temperature is higher than

30°C or when you think the refrigerator is not cool enough due to frequent opening and closing of the door.

Use when you want to freeze your food in a short time.

It is recommended to be applied to preserve the quality of your fresh food. You do not need to use the quick freezing function when putting your frozen food. You do not need to use the quick freezing function to freeze a small amount of fresh food, up to 2 kg per day.
