PART 2. HOW TO OPERATE THE APPLIANCE

Thermostat Setting

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with internal gear and housing (no text or symbols)

- 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.

- The “0” position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling is available.

- For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between minimum and medium position (1-3).

- For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob medium position.(3-4)

- Note that the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. If required, change the temperature setting.

- When you first switch on the appliance, you should ideally try to run it without any food in for 24 hours and not open the door. If you need to use it straight away, try not to put much food inside.

- If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting in order not to damage the compressor.

- REFRIGERATORS (with 4 star rating): The freezer of the refrigerator cools down to -18°C and less.

- LARDERS (without star rating): Larders (coolers) have not any freezer compartment but can cool down to 4-6°C.

"DoorOpen"Indicator; (forSingleDoorrefrigeratorswithfreezercompartment)

• The “Door Open” indicator on the lock slide indicates whether the door is closed properly or not.
  • If the red indicator is visible, the door is still open.
• If the red indicator is invisible, the door is properly closed.
• Observe that the freezer door should always be kept closed properly. This will prevent food inside the freezer from defrosting; it will avoid heavy ice and frost build-up inside the freezer and an unnecessary increase in energy consumption.

PART3. FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE

RefrigeratorCompartment

Refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for few days.

- Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment. Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.

- Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.

- Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.

- To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator.

- Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.

- You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

- To avoid the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door open for a long time.

FreezerCompartment

Freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.

- For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade, in doubt double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.

- Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen food.

• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage time.

- In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.

- The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the name plate (see Freezing Capacity).

• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.

- When purchasing and storing frozen food products; ensure that the packaging is not damaged.

- The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.

- Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.

- Once the food is thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible in order to consume or to freeze once again.

- When making ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer compartment. After the water r completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to get the ice cube.

PART4. CLEANINGANDMAINTENANCE

- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

- Do not pour water over the appliance.

Simple line drawing of a hand reaching toward a box with a small object inside (no text or symbols)

- The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.

- Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.

- Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning operations have been completed, reconnect the plug with dryhands.

DefrostingtheRefrigeratorCompartment:

Diagram showing a hand holding a circular object with an arrow pointing to a textured surface (no text or symbols)

- 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 12 glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.

DefrostingtheFreezerCompartment: (ifavailable)

WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools, unless recommended by manufacturer, for this operation as they can damage the refrigeration circuit.

After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment. The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically (use the plastic scraper if available).

Complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the efficiency of the freezer.

• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position "5" 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 the thermostat knob to position "0" and switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the compartment.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent.

Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.

- Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to position "5". After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.

ReplacingtheLightBulb

When replacing the bulb of the refrigerator compartment;

1. Unplug the unit from the power supply,
2. Press the hooks on the sides of the light cover top and remove the light cover
3. Change the present light bulb with a new one of not more than 15 W.
4. Replace the light cover and after waiting 5 minutes plug the unit.

PART 5. BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your refrigerator is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following.

The appliance does not operate,

Check if;

• There is a power failure,
• The mains plug is not properly plugged in, or is loose
- The thermostat setting is on position "0",
- The socket is defective. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which is working into the same socket.

The appliance performs poorly;

Check if;

• You have overloaded the appliance,
  • The doors are not closed perfectly,
• There are not enough ventilati on ducts on the kitchen unit as mentioned in the Installation Manual.

If there is noise;

The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry, this is quite normal. If these sounds are different check if;

• The appliance is installed firmly as described in the Installation Manual.
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator;

Check if;

The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged (use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole).

If your fridge is not cooling enough;

Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.

ClimateClassAmbientTemperature(°C)
T	Between 16 and 43 (°C)
ST	Between 16 and 38 (°C)
N	Between 16 and 32 (°C)
SN	Between 10 and 32 (°C)

• Tropical Climate Class is described as between 16^ and 43^ of ambient temperatures according to EN ISO15502 standards.
• Appliance complies with EN15502, IEC60335-1 / IEC60335-2-24, 2004/108/EC standards.

Recommendations

• In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the “cooling section” of refrigerators is positioned inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. When the compressor is working, this wall is covered with frost or water drops. Do not worry. This is quite normal. The appliance should be defrosted only if an excessively thick ice layer forms on the back wall.
• If the appliance is not used for a long time (for example during the summer holidays), set the thermostat knob to position "0". Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
