The freezer and refrigerator thermostats automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained. "0" position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling will be available.

Freezer Thermostat Setting;

0 : The appliance is switched off.

1 - 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between minimum and medium position.

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

5: For freezing the fresh food. The appliance will run for colder temperatures.

Freezing with Super Freeze (SF button): Press the SF button, the freezer will start to run continuously with maximum performance (observe that the SF lamp will light on orange when you turn on the SF button). The freezer temperature will decrease and the appliance will switch to to the lowest temperature.

Place the food to be frozen quickly inside the freezer, preferably in the top drawers. Once the food is frozen, you must turn off the SF button and set the thermostat knob to desired position.

Freezer Thermostat Setting;

1 - 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between minimum and medium position.

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

5: For freezing the fresh food. The appliance will work longer. So after you get the cold condition you must position to previous position. (Observe that SF button will turn on.)

Refrigerator Thermostat Setting;

1 - 2 : Higher temperature, lower cooling setting.

3 - 4 : Medium temperature, medium cooling setting.

5: Lower temperature, higher cooling setting.

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.

Super Freeze and low ambient switch (In some models)

Low ambient temperature control switch

0: OFF Position.

I: ON Position.

a) Super freezing: If ambient temperature is more than 18^ C, This switch can be used as superfreeze switch.

Super freeze switch should be used for freezing the fresh food or when the RED lamp on the head panel is ON. (RED lamp on the head panel becomes ON when there is insufficient cooling).

The appliance will work longer when you activate this switch. So after you get the cold condition (or the Red lamp on the head panel is off) you must return to previous position.

At the ambient temperature more than 18^ , if super freezing function doesn't want to be used, it must always be set to OFF position.

b) Low ambient performance: If ambient temperature is less than 18^ C, this switch can also be used as a low ambient switch for good low ambient performance.

In low ambient temperatures, this switch heats the fridge part to prevent extra cooling / freezing.

Display Panel

Super freeze light (SF light): Lights orange, when the SF button is turned on.

Power light: Lights green automatically, when the appliance is connected to the power supply.

Alarm light: Lights red, when the temperature rises to a critical point in side the freeze.

Turning On The Appliance

Once the appliance has been connected to the power supply make sure that the green lamp is on. Then turn the refrigerator thermostat dial and the freezer thermostat dial to positions between 2-4. (Note that; for best internal temperature the indicator in the refrigerator and freezer thermostat should be positioned between 2 and 4.)

- 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.

- During this time do not open the door frequently and do not 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-plugging the unit in order not to damage the compressor.

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.

PART 3.FOOD STORAGE IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator Compartment

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.

Freezer Compartment

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.

- Storage: If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the drawers and store the items directly on the cooling tubes. This will enable you to make use of the entire volume of the compartment.

PART4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning.

- Do not pour water over the appliance.

- 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 dry hands.

Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment

Simple line drawing of a metal beam or support structure (no text or symbols)

Diagram showing a hand holding a circular object over a window with stairs and a diagonal stripe (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.

Defrosting the Freezer Compartment

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.

• This appliance is provided with a special drain system.

1. Pull out the bottom drawer A of the freezer compartment and put it on the floor aligning it to the cabinet front.

2. Pull out the drain pipe E placed on the back wall of the freezer compartment. Then place it in the groove on the front side of the floor of the appliance.

Repositioning the Door

You can reposition the doors of your fridge. Contact nearest Authorized service for this.

PART6. 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 ventilation 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.
