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.

As soon as the water has turned into ice, you can

take out the ice cubes.

Never use sharp objects such as knives or forks to

remove the ice cubes. There is a risk of injury!

Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put the

bottom of the tray in water for a short moment.

Defrosting of the device

The appliance is a frost free refrigerator.

So there will not be any frost accumulation

inside the food storage area.

However there will be an automatic defrost at the

evaporation area of the appliance when it needs.

The water drams into reservoir at the back of the

appliance and evaporates automatically through

the compressor heat .

Ensure that the reservoir is fixed properly above

The fans inside the freezer and fresh food

compartments circulates cold air. Never insert any

object through the guard. Do not allow children to

play with the fresh food andfreezer fan.

Never store products that contain inflammable

propellant gas (eg 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 the appliance or

tamper with the controls.

Do not obstruct the fan guards to ensure that you

obtain the best possible performance from your

appliance. (Item 9 and Item 10)

Your appliance is fitted with 2 circulating fans

which are essential for the performance of the

refrigerator. Please ensure the fans are not

blocked (stopped) or impaired by food or

packaging. Blocking (stopping) or impairing the

fan can result in an increase of the internal freezer

temperature (Thawing).

Replacing the interior light bulb

In case that the light bulb is out of function it is

easily to replace. First make sure that the

refrigerator / freezer is disconnected from the

power supply by removing the plug. Take a flat

screwdriver and keep it carefully without force into

the left gap between lamp cover and internal

cabinet. Then press the handle of the screwdriver

carefully to the left side until you notice that the left

pin of the cover is disengaged . Repeat this

procedure on the right gap, however now press

the handle of the screwdriver carefully to the right

side. If both sides are loosened the cover can be

Ensure that bulb is screwed securely in the bulb

holder. Plug the appliance into the power supply. If

the light still fails, replace E14 screw-cap type 15

Watt (Max) bulb from your local electrical store

and then fit it. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out

light bulb immediately.

If you have changed the light bulb please fix the

cover again in it’s former position. Take care that

the cover snaps-in correctly.

Interior and Exterior Surfaces

Always unplug the power cable or switch

off the circuit breaker before cleaning.

Clean the exterior using lukewarm water and a

Never use detergents, abrasive or acidic agents.

Wipe the inside compartment dry.

Be careful to prevent water from getting into

contact with the electrical connections of the

temperature control or the interior light.

If the device is not going to be used for a

long period of time, unplug the power cable and

remove all food. Clean the appliance and keep the

EN Instruction for use

Normal operating noises

Various functional noises are completely

normal due to the operation of the cooling

system of your appliance;

• Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises are

caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside the

cooling system. These noises can still be heard for

a short period of time after the compressor shuts

• Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises are

caused by the expansion and contraction of the

inside walls or some components inside the

• Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched

humming noises are caused by the compressor.

These noises are slightly louder at the start-up of

the compressor and reduce when the appliance

reaches the operating temperatures.

Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and

noises make sure that;

• Your refrigerator is standing level on all four feet.

• Your refrigerator is not in contact with the walls,

surrounding objects or kitchen cabinets and

• Cans, bottles or dishes inside the refrigerator are

not touching and rattling against each other.

and bins are mounted correctly inside

the refrigerator cabinets and doors.

Practical advice concerning the

reduction of the electricity

1. Make sure that the appliance is located in well-

ventilated areas, far from any source of heat

(cooker, radiator etc.). At the same time, the

location of the appliance must be done in such a

way that it prevents it to be under the direct

incidence of the sunbeams.

2. Make sure that the food purchased in

refrigerated/frozen condition is placed into the

appliance as soon as possible, especially during

summertime. It is recommended to use thermal

insulated bags to transport the food home.

3. We recommend the thawing of the packets

taken out from the freezer compartment be done

in the refrigerator compartment. For this purpose,

the packet which is going to be thawed will be

placed in a vessel so that the water resulting from

the thawing does not leak in the refrigerator

compartment. We recommend you to start the

thawing at least 24 hours before the use of the

4. We recommend reducing the number of door

openings to the minimum.

5. Do not keep the door of the appliance open

more than necessary and make sure that after

each opening the door is well closed. When doors

are open, warm air enters the fridge/freezer

cabinets and the appliance consumes more

energy to cool down the foodstuffs.Thus please do

not open doors frequently in order to save energy

and to keep foods at ideal storage temperature.

6. Maximum frozen food storage volume is

achieved without using the middle and upper

drawer provided in the freezer compartment.

Energy consumption of your appliance is declared

while the freezer compartment is fully loaded

without using the middle and upper drawer.

7. Do not block the freezer fan grill by

placing foods in front.There must always be left

minimum 3 cm open distance in front of the

freezer fan grill to allow necessary air flow to

freeze the compartment efficiently.

8. Activate “Energy Saving Function”. When

energy Saving Function is active, all icons on the

display will turn off except energy saving icon. All

icons will be lightened, if freshfood door is opened

or display is touched.

9. Recommended temperature settings are +4°C

and -20°C for freshfood and freezer compartments

respectively.What, if....

7- Other possible malfunctions

Not every malfunction is a case for our customer

service. Very often, you can easily resolve the

problem without requesting service.

Before requesting service, please check if the

malfunction has been caused by an operating

error. If this is the case, and a service has been

requested, a service charge will be levied even if

the device is still under guarantee.

If the problem persists please contact your dealer

or customer service.
