Before disposing of your refrigerator, cut out the electric plug and, if there are any locks on the door, make them inoperable in order to protect children against any danger.

Placing and Installation

1. Install your refrigerator in a place that allows ease of use.
2. Keep your refrigerator away from heat sources, humid places, and direct sunlight.
3. There must be appropriate air ventilation around your refrigerator in order to achieve efficient operation. If the refrigerator is to be placed in a recess in the wall, there must be at least 5 cm distance from the ceiling and at least 5 cm from the wall.

If the floor is covered with a carpet, your product must be elevated 2.5 cm from the floor.

1. Place your refrigerator on an even floor surface to prevent jolts.
2. Do not keep your refrigerator in ambient temperatures under 10°C.

4 Preparation

1. Your refrigerator should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heaters, and stoves, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens. It should not be located under direct sunlight. The ambient temperature of the room where you install your refrigerator should be at least 10°C. Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions than this is not recommended with regard to its efficiency. Please make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly. If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them. When you operate your refrigerator for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.

• The door should not be opened frequently.
• It must be operated empty without any food in it.
• Do not unplug your refrigerator. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the "Recommended solutions for the problems" section.

Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.

Temperature setting button

The interior temperature of your refrigerator changes for the following reasons:

• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door and leaving the door open for long periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator without cooling down to room temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in the room (e.g., exposing to sunlight). If you want to make the compartment temperatures cooler or hotter, you can change this by pressing the button of the relevant compartment.

Defrost

It is normal that ice crystals build up on the surface of the rear wall of your refrigerator while it is operating. There is no need to scrape or wipe them off. Your refrigerator defrosts automatically. 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.

Using the accessories

Bottle holder

You can use this bottle holder to serve drinks on tables or counters.

Useful information

1- Suggestions on opening time of the wine before it is tasted:

Normal quality wines Just before	drinking
Quality white wines Approximately 10 minutes before
Young red wines Approximately 10 minutes before
Dense and mature red wines Approximately 3-60 minutes before

2- How long can an opened wine be stored?

The mouth of wine bottles that you did not fully consume after opening and intend to store for later drinking must be securely closed, and the bottle must be stored in a cool, dry place. Carbon dioxide in the wine mixes into the air (evaporates) together with various valuable aromatic substances, and thus the bouquet and taste of the wine lose their freshness.

Therefore, the best and most enjoyable option is to completely consume opened wines and those at their best time to drink.

However, wines that are securely closed can be stored in cool places for the following periods (not advised).

Normal and quality white wines, normal and high quality red wines

%75 Full bottle 3 – 5 days 4 –	7 days
%50 Full bottle 2 – 3 days 3 –	5 days
Less 1 days 2 days

3- Suggested optimum service temperatures of some wines

6 °C Sweet white wines
6 – 8 °C Semidry white and	sparkling wine
8 – 10 °C Dry white and dry	rose
16 – 18 °C Dry red wines

Silver

Inner surfaces of the refrigerator are rendered antibacterial by means of the silver-ion additive. Thus, growth and reproduction of bacteria on interior body parts are prevented.

LED indicators and control panel

LED indicators in the front section of your refrigerator are intended to help you monitor the operation of your appliance.

Keep your food in the refrigerator in a safe manner by monitoring and using these LEDs and controls as explained below:

Quick Cool Button (1): Used to cool the food quickly. The compressor may not operate immediately but after some time when the button is pressed, and this is quite normal.

Thermostat Setting Button (2): Used to set your refrigerator between minimum and maximum values.

Do not expose the appliance to fire!

Energy saving tips

Do not leave the refrigerator door open for a long time. Do not put hot food or drinks in the refrigerator. Do not overload the refrigerator to avoid obstructing air circulation. Do not install the refrigerator in places where it is exposed to direct sunlight or near heat sources such as a stove, dishwasher, or radiator. Make sure that containers with food are closed. The freezer compartment can hold the maximum amount of food if you remove the drawers and shelves. The energy consumption indicated in the technical specifications is determined under the condition that the freezer drawers are removed and the maximum possible amount of food is loaded. The shelf and drawer can be used according to the shape and size of the food for freezing.

3 Installation

Note that the manufacturer is not responsible in case of non-compliance with the instructions given in this manual.

Transportation rules for the refrigerator

1. Clean all shelves, equipment, containers for vegetables, fruits, etc. with adhesive tape to protect them from shaking.
2. The refrigerator should be tied with straps made of dense material and strong ropes. During transportation, follow the rules printed on the packaging.

Do not forget that...

Reuse of materials is very important for the preservation of nature and our national wealth.

If you want to send packaging materials for recycling, contact the environmental protection organization or local authorities for more information.

Preparation for operation

Before starting the refrigerator, perform the following actions.

1. Make sure the inside of the refrigerator is dry and air can circulate freely behind the refrigerator.
2. Perform cleaning of the refrigerator in accordance with the recommendations given in the section "Maintenance and Cleaning".
3. Plug the refrigerator into a power outlet. When the refrigerator door is opened, the interior light turns on.
4. When the compressor starts working, you will hear noise. The liquid and gases inside the sealed cooling system may also create noise, regardless of whether the compressor is running or not, which is normal.
5. The front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. These areas must heat up to avoid condensation.

Cut the power cord and remove the locks on the doors (if any) to prevent dangerous situations for children.

Placement and installation

If the door of the room where the refrigerator will be installed is not wide enough, you can remove the refrigerator doors and bring it in sideways. To remove the doors, contact an authorized service center.

1. Install the refrigerator in a place convenient for use.
2. The refrigerator should be installed in places protected from direct sunlight, away from heat sources and high humidity. For more efficient operation, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation around the refrigerator.

If the refrigerator is installed under a ceiling, the minimum distance to the ceiling and walls must be at least 5 cm.

When installing on a carpet, place the refrigerator 2.5 cm above the floor.

1. The refrigerator should be installed on a level surface, otherwise vibration may occur.
2. The temperature of the room where the refrigerator is located must not be lower than 10°C.

4 Preparation

The refrigerator should be installed in places where direct sunlight does not fall, at a distance of at least 30 cm from heat sources such as gas stoves, ovens, central heating radiators, and at a distance of at least 5 cm from electric stoves. The air temperature in the room where the refrigerator is installed must not be lower than 10°C. Using the refrigerator at lower temperatures is not recommended due to its low efficiency in such conditions. Keep the interior of the refrigerator clean. If two refrigerators are installed side by side, the distance between them must be at least 2 cm. During the first six hours of operation, be sure to follow the following rules.

• Do not open the doors too often.
• Do not overload the refrigerator with products.
• Do not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. If a power outage occurs and it is not your fault, see the section "Troubleshooting".

The original packaging film should be kept for possible subsequent transportation of the appliance.

Refrigerator temperature

The temperature inside the refrigerator changes for the following reasons:

• Seasonal temperature changes;
• Frequent opening of the door and leaving the door open for a long time; placing products in the refrigerator without prior cooling to room temperature; location of the refrigerator in the room (for example, in places illuminated by sunlight). If you want to lower or raise the temperature in the refrigerator compartments, this can be done by pressing the button of the corresponding compartment.

Defrosting

It is quite normal that ice crystals form on the surface of the rear wall of the refrigerator during its operation. There is no need to scrape or remove them. Defrosting of the refrigerator is carried out automatically. The water that forms during defrosting flows down the gutter into the drain tube, enters the evaporator and evaporates there.

Using accessories

Bottle holder

You can use this holder for bottles to serve drinks on the table or on the bar counter.

Useful information

1- Recommendations regarding the time of opening bottles of wine before consumption:

2- How long can open wine be stored?

The cork of a wine bottle that you have not completely emptied after opening and intend to keep for later use should be tightly closed, and the bottle should be stored in a cool and dry place. The carbon dioxide gas in the wine mixes with air (evaporates) together with various beneficial aromatic substances, as a result of which the freshness of the bouquet and taste of the wine is lost.

Therefore, the most practical option is to drink the opened wine immediately; this is the best time for consumption.

However, tightly closed wine can be stored in a cool place for later use (not recommended).

7 Recommendations for troubleshooting

Before calling a service center, review this section. This will save time. Below are listed common problems, the causes of which are not defects in production or materials. Some of the functions described here may be absent in your model of refrigerator.

The refrigerator does not work.

• Possibly, the refrigerator is not connected to the electrical network. Insert the plug into the electrical outlet.
• Possibly, the fuse of the outlet into which the refrigerator is plugged has blown. Check the fuse.

Condensation on the side walls of the refrigerator compartment (MULTI ZONE, COOL CONTROL and FLEXI ZONE).

• Very low temperature in the room. Frequent opening and closing of the door. Very high humidity in the room. Storing products containing liquid in open containers. The door is not closed tightly. Set the thermostat to a lower temperature. Reduce the periods when the door remains open, or open it less often.
• Cover products in open containers with suitable material.
• Wipe the condensation with a dry cloth and check if it forms again.

The compressor does not work.

• The compressor thermal protection may trip during unexpected power outages or when turning the appliance off and on, because the refrigerant pressure in the cooling system does not have time to stabilize. The refrigerator should start working in about 6 minutes. If after this time the refrigerator does not start, contact a service center. The refrigerator is in the defrosting mode. This is normal for a refrigerator with automatic defrosting. Defrosting is performed periodically. The refrigerator is not plugged into the electrical outlet. Make sure the plug is properly inserted into the outlet.
• Possibly, the temperature is incorrectly adjusted.
• Possibly, the power supply is disconnected.

The refrigerator is working too long.

• Your new refrigerator may be larger than the previous one. This is quite normal. Larger refrigerators work for longer periods of time.
• The room temperature may have changed. This is normal. The refrigerator may have been recently switched on or just loaded with food. Full cooling of the refrigerator may take several hours longer. Possibly, a large amount of hot food was recently placed in the refrigerator. Due to the presence of hot food, the refrigerator will work longer to reach the required storage temperature. The door may be opened frequently or left open for long periods. When warm air enters the refrigerator, it will work longer. Open the door less often.
• The freezer or refrigerator door is not closed properly. Check that the doors are closed tightly. The refrigerator is set to a very low temperature. Set a higher temperature in the refrigerator and wait until the set temperature is reached. Possibly, the door gasket of the refrigerator or freezer is dirty, worn, torn, or incorrectly installed. Clean or replace the gaskets. Due to a damaged or torn gasket, the refrigerator will work longer to maintain the set temperature.

The temperature in the freezer is too low, and the temperature in the refrigerator is sufficient.

The temperature level in the freezer is set too low. Set a higher temperature in the freezer and check the result.

The temperature of the refrigerator is too low, and the temperature in the freezer is sufficient.

• Possibly, the temperature of the refrigerator is set to a very low value. Set a higher temperature in the refrigerator and check the result. Products in the refrigerator drawers are freezing. Possibly, the temperature of the refrigerator is set to a very low value. Set a higher temperature in the refrigerator and check the result.
