Adjusting the legs If your refrigerator is unbalanced; You can balance your refrigerator by turning its front legs as illustrated in the figure. The corner where the leg exists is lowered when you turn in the direction of black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. Taking help from someone to slightly lift the refrigerator will facilitate this process. Changing the illumination lamp To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, call your AuthorisedService. The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way.The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20 °C. (only chest and upright freezer)EN

• Your cooler/freezer should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heater and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens and should not be located under direct sunlight.

• Please make sure that the interior of your cooler/freezer is cleaned thoroughly.

• When you operate your cooler/freezer for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.

• Its door should not be opened frequently.

• It must be operated empty without placing any food in it.

• Do not unplug your cooler/freezer. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the “Recommended solutions for the problems” section.

• The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy consumption and for better storage conditions.

• Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of the appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.

• This product has been designed to function at ambient temperatures up to 43 °C (90 SDgrF). Even if the ambient temperature falls to -15 °C, frozen food in the freezer does not thaw thanks to its Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System. For the first installation, the product should NOT be placed under low ambient temperatures. This is because the freezer cannot go down to standard operation temperature. When reaching continuous operation, the product can be moved to another place. Thus, later you can place your product in the garage or an unheated room without the concern of causing frozen food to get rotten. However, it is likely that above mentioned low temperatures may cause the freezing of the food in the fridge compartment; thus, please consume the food items in the fridge in a controlled way as needed. When ambient temperature goes back to normal, you may change button setting according to your need.

• If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in fridge compartment will freeze. Therefore, we recommend not using the fridge compartment in such low ambient temperatures. You may continue to use the freezer compartment as usual.

• In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 5 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.

• Due to temperature change as a result of opening/closing the product door during operation, condensation on the door/body shelves and the glass containers is normal.EN

5 Using your refrigerator Thermostat setting button Defrost Fridge compartment performs full- automatic defrosting. 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.

• Deepfreezercompartmentdoesnot perform automatic defrosting in order to prevent decaying of the frozen food.

• Check regularly to see if the drain pipe is clogged or not and clear it with the stick in the hole when necessary. The interior temperature of your refrigerator changes for the following reasons;

• Seasonaltemperatures,

• Frequentopeningofthedoorand leaving the door open for long periods,

• Foodputintotherefrigerator without cooling down to the room temperature,

• Thelocationoftherefrigeratorinthe room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).

• Youmayadjustthevaryinginterior temperature due to such reasons by using the thermostat. Numbers around the thermostat button indicates the cooling degrees.

• Iftheambienttemperatureishigher than 32°C, turn the thermostat button to maximum position.

• Iftheambienttemperatureislower than 25°C, turn the thermostat button to minimum position.

• Frostformationinthefreezer compartment must be defrosted every 6 months. It is recommended to defrost the ice when the deep freezer compartment is not filled too much or is empty.

Crisper humidity control sliders Using the crisper humidity control sliders Crisper of your refrigerator is designed specially to keep your vegetables fresh without loosing their humidity. Cold air circulates basically around the crisper and the amount of the cold air passing through the crisper is controlled by the sliders on the front side of the crisper cover. You can adjust the humidity control sliders to a suitable position according to the humidity and cooling condition of your food in the crisper. If you want your food in the crisper to cool more, open the holes of the humidity control sliders and if you want them to cool less and keep their humidity for a longer time, close the holes. Turbo Cooling Fan “Turbo cooling fan is designed to ensure homogenous distribution and circulation of the cold air inside your refrigerator. Operation time of the turbo cooling fan may vary depending on the properties of your product. While the turbo fan works only with the compressor in some products, the control system determines its operation time in some products in accordance with the cooling requirement. This situation is explained on a separate warning and information label attached on the refrigerator in products equipped with turbo fans running under different conditions than the compressor.”

Using the rotary crisper (in some models) The crisper of your refrigerator which opens with a rotating movement is designed specially to provide ease of usage and allow you to store more vegetables and fruits (large volume) you buy during large shopping. When you grab and pull the handle on the lower left hand side of the crisper, it will rotate from left to right and open easily. The separator in the crisper will allow you to separate the vegetables and fruits according to their types and prevent them from crushing.EN
