A) Fridge compartment Fridge compartment performs fullautomatic defrosting. Water drops and a frosting up to 7-8 mm can occur on the inner rear wall of the fridge compartment while your refrigerator cools down. Such formation is normal as a result of the cooling system. The frost formation is defrosted by performing automatic defrosting with certain intervals thanks to the automatic defrosting system of the rear wall. User is not required to scrape the frost or remove the water drops. Water resulting from the defrosting passes from the water collection groove and flows into the evaporator through the drain pipe and evaporates here by itself. Check regularly to see if the drain pipe is clogged or not and clear it with the stick in the hole when necessary.

Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects, such as knives or forks to remove the frost. Never use hair dryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting. Sponge out the defrost water collected in the bottom of the freezer compartment. After defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.

Zero temperature compartment B) Freezer compartment Deep freezer compartment does not perform automatic defrosting in order to prevent decaying of the frozen food. Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess, thanks to a special defrost collection basin. Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 (1/4”) mm has formed. To start the defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder). Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting. 12

This compartment has been designed to store frozen food which would be thawed slowly (meat, fish, chicken, etc.) as required. The Zero temperature compartment is the coldest place of your refrigerator in which dairy products (cheese, butter), meat, fish or chicken may be kept at ideal storage conditions. Vegetables and/or fruits must not be placed in this compartment.

6 Maintenance and cleaning A Never use gasoline, benzene or

similar substances for cleaning purposes. B We recommend that you unplug the appliance before cleaning. B Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning. C Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.
