Numbers around the thermostat button (MIN to MAY) indicates the cooling degrees, MAX being the coldest position. + _lfthe ambient temperature is higher than 32°C, turn the thermostat button to maximum position. + _lfthe ambient temperature is lower than 25°C, turn the thermostat button to minimum position. Defrost A) Fridge compartment Fridge compartment performs full- automatic 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. B) Freezer compartment The freezer compartment defrosts automatically. Warnings! The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air. Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow children to play with the freezer fan. Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc. or explosive substances. Don't cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation. Do not allow children to play with appliance or tamper with the controls. Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance.
