BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE

Installing and operating your fridge Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:

• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• Mains cord of your fridge has a grounded plug. This plug should be used with a grounded receptacle that has a 16 ampere fuse minimum. If you don’t have a receptacle confirming with this, please have it done by a qualified electrician.
• We do not take the responsibility of the damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, Gas ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on the upper side.
• The adjustable front legs should stabilized in an appropriate height to allow your fridge operate in a stable and proper way. You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should be done before placing food in the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water added with a tea spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts after cleaning.
• Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black vanes at the rear) by turning it 90° as shown in the figure to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.

BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE

Before Using your Fridge

• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to allow efficient operation. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool. Information about NO FROST Technology No-Frost fridges differ from other static fridges in their operating principle. In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge in the door openings and the humidity of the food causes freezing in the freezer compartment. To defrost the snow and ice in the freezer compartment, you should turn off the fridge, take the food that needs to be kept in a constant temperature off the fridge, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment periodically. The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry and cold air is blown to the fridge and freezer compartments homogeneously from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously even between the shelves cools all your food equally and uniformly, thus prevents humidity and freezing. Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, besides its huge volume and stylish appearance.

• Hot food and beverages should be cooled to room temperature before being placed in the fridge.
• Vegetables and fruits: can be to the vegetable bin directly without being wrapped.
• Fridge air duct distributes cold air to the fridge compartment. Avoid preventing the air flow by covering the front of the ducts with food. Do not thrust packed food or containers to the lamp or door of the fridge compartment. Important Note:
• Cover the liquid and stews when you put them on fridge. Otherwise, the humidity amount inside the fridge increases. And, this causes the fridge to operate more. Covering the food and beverages also allow you to protect their taste and flavor.
• Potatoes, onion and garlic shouldn’t be kept in the fridge. Some suggestions on the placing and storing of your food in the fridge compartment are supplied below. Storing time Where to place in the fridge department 1 week In the Crisper (without being wrapped) Meat and fish 2 to 3 days Covered with plastic folio and bags or in a meat box (on the glass shelf) Fresh cheese 3 to 4 days In the special door shelf Butter and Margarine 1 week In the special door shelf Bottled product, Milk and Yoghurt Until the expiry date recommended by the producer In the special door shelf 1 month In the egg shelf Food Vegetables and fruits Eggs Cooked food All shelves

• For normal operating conditions, adjusting the temperature value of the freezer partition of the fridge to -18 / -20 oC will be enough.
• The freezer is used for storing deep frozen or frozen foods for a long time or for producing ice.
• Do not put fresh and hot foods to the shelves of the freezer door in order to freeze them. Only use it for storing frozen foods.
• Do not put fresh and hot foods close to frozen foods because the frozen foods can melt.
• In order to freeze the food you cook at home (which needs to be frozen) more quickly, use the quick freezer shelf, because the quick freezer compartment has higher capacity of freezing.
• While freezing a fresh food (e.g. Meat, fish and minced meat), divide them into little portions that you can use once.
• While freezing fresh foods; the maximum amount of food that can be frozen within 24 hours is shown on the label of the appliance (as kg).
• For an ideal appliance capacity that will enable you to reach the maximum freezing capacity, rotate the freezer compartment thermostat knob to MAX position 24 hours before you place fresh foods in the freezer compartment.
• After placing fresh foods in the freezer compartment, waiting for 24 hours with the knob at MAX position is generally enough. After 24 hours, you do not need to adjust the freezer compartment knob to the MAX position.
• Caution; While freezing a small amount of food, you do not need to adjust the freezer compartment knob to the MAX position. This will help you to save energy.
• To store the frozen foods; you should carefully obey the instructions on the packages of frozen foods, if there is no instruction on foods they should be stored maximum for 3 months as of the date of purchasing.
• When you purchase frozen foods; please make sure that the food is frozen on appropriate temperatures and their package is safe.
• Frozen foods should be carried in appropriate storage boxes and be placed in the freezer compartment of the appliance as soon as possible.
• If there are moisture and abnormal swelling marks on the package of a frozen food, it was probably stored in an inappropriate temperature and its content deteriorated.

• The expiry date of a frozen food depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, the frequency of opening the door of your fridge, the type of food, the time passing while carrying it from shop to the house. Always follow instructions on the package and do not exceed storing period. Important Note:
• Cover the liquid and stews when you put them on fridge. Otherwise, the humidity amount inside the fridge increases. And, this causes the fridge to operate more. Covering the food and beverages also allow you to protect their taste and flavour.
• If you put the frozen foods taken out from the deep freezer compartment of your fridge to the fridge compartment one day before, they will help the fridge to cool. So you can save energy. If you put the material in the deep freeze to an open area, energy loss occurs. Notes:
• Some spices in cooked food (aniseed, basil, dill, vinegar, spice mix, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, bologna sausage etc.) may have a foul taste when stored for a long time. Therefore, frozen food should be spiced just a little or spice should be added after the food is thawed.
• The storing time for the food depends on the oil used. Margarines, veal fat, olive oil and butter are suitable, peanut oil and lard are not suitable.
• Cooked food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic containers, other food should be frozen wrapped in plastic foil or in plastic bags. Some suggestions on the placing and storing of your food in the freezer compartment are supplied page 27, 28 and 29.

• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating? Normal Noises; Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material). Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off. Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated. Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system. Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting. Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in NoFrost fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air. If humidity builds up inside the fridge;
• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
• Building up of water drops on the rear wall after automatic defrosting is normal. (in Static Models)

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

1– Install the appliance in a coll, well vantilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate. 2– Allow ward food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance. 3– When 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. So it causes energy saving. If the frozen food is put out, it causes wastage of energy. 4– When placing, drinks and slops they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases at the appliance. Therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and slops helps to save smell and taste. 5– When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briefly as possible. 6– Keep close the covers of any different temrepature compartment in the appliance (crisper, chiller ...etc ). 7– Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
