• Children should not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be made by children without supervision. 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. • 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 be adjusted to make sure your appliance is level and stable. 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 back 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 plastic distance guide (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. • Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance not exceeding 75 mm.

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.

PART- 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES Thermostat setting

• 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. “•” position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling will be available. • For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between 1 and 3 position. • For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knop 3-4 position.

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.

Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.

(If super switch is available)

• Normally set this switch to ‘ ’ 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 ‘

• To set super switch ON that is on the thermostat box, press the switch down to ‘

’position. The switch will lit. • When the freezer compartment is cooled down to sufficient temperature, or the weather gets hot, turn the super switch off to save electrical consumption. • When you first switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable cooling, the appliance should work 24 hours continuously until it cools down to sufficient 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.

The appliance is designed to operate at the limited range of ambient temperature, depending on climate zones. Do not use the appliance at the temperature out of the limit. Climate class of your appliance is indicated on the label with technical description inside the fridge compartment.

T ST N SN Accessories

Ice tray • Fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer compartment. • After the water completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to get the ice cube. Plastic scraper After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment. The frost, accumulated in the freezer, should be removed periodically. Use the plastic scraper provided if necessary. Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit.

Bottle holder In order to prevent the bottles to slip or fall over you can use the bottle holder. You can also prevent making noise that will be done when you open or close the door. All written and visual descriptions in the accessories may vary according to the appliance model.

PART- 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE Refrigerator compartment

• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time will require more frequent defrosting. • Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment. • Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently. • Arrange the meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment (that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storing conditions. • You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time and making ice cubes. • To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface as possible of food to be frozen is in contact with the cooling surface. • Do not put fresh food with frozen on side by side as it can thaw the frozen food. EN - 18 -

• While freezing fresh foods (i.e meat, fish and mincemeat), divide them in parts you will use in one time.

• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to consume them in as short period of time. • Never place warm food in the freezer compartment. As it will disturb the frozen foods. • For storing the frozen foods; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date. • When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact. • Frozen foods should be transported in appopriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time. • If a package of frozen food shows the sign 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 strorage life of froozen 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 instruductions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated. Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not be opened easily. It’s quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be opened easily.

PART- 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure to unplug the fridge before starting to clean it.

Do not wash your fridge by pouring water. You can wipe the inner and outer sides with a soft cloth or a sponge using warm and soapy water. Remove the parts individually and clean with soapy water. Do not wash in washing machine. Never use flammable, explosive or corrosive material like thinner, gas, acid for cleaning. You should clean the condenser with broom at least once a year in order to provide energy saving and increase the productivity. Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning.

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 flowing out. • You can also pour 1/2 glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.

Freezer compartment;

The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically. (Use the plastic scraper provided) The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the way as the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost operations of the compartment at least twice a year.

• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to “5” position 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 thermostat knob to position “•” or unplug the unit; leave the door open until completely defrosted. • To accelerate the defrosting process one or more basins of warm water can be placed in the freezer compartment. • Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to MAX position.

Replacing the light bulb

When replacing the light of the refrigerator compartment; 1- Unplug your fridge. 2- Remove the cover of the box from the claws using a screwdriver. 3- Replace with a bulb of maximum 15 Watts. 4- Install the cover. 5- Wait for 5 minutes before re-plugging and bring the thermostat to its original position.
