Installing and Operating your Fridge

Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:

- Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz. - We do not take the responsibility of the damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.

- Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.

- Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.

- It should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.

- When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer surface.

- Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on the upper side.

- If you will place your fridge next to your kitchen cabinets, leave a space of 2 cm between them.

- Fit the plastic wall spacers to the condenser at the back of the refrigerator in order to prevent leaning to the wall for good performance.

• Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black vanes at the rear) by turning it 90^ to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.

- Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance not exceeding 75 mm.

- 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.

Repositioning the Door

- It is not possible to change the opening direction of your fridge door, if the door handles on your fridge are installed from the front surface of the door.

- It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without any handles.

- If the door opening direction of your fridge may be changed, you should contact the nearest Authorized Service to have the opening direction changed.

BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

If your fridge is not operating ;

• Is there any electrical faults?
- Is the plug is placed properly in the receptacle?
- Is the fuse of the receptacle that the plug is plugged or the main fuse blown?
- Is there any fault in the socket? Examine this by plugging your fridge into a receptacle which you are sure that is working.

WARNING TYPE	MEANING REASON REMEDY
Sr Failure warnings		Appears when one or more of the refrigerator parts fail or there is a problem in the cooling system.	Call service immediately.
LC	Cooler compartment is not cold enough	This warning appears if there has been a power failure for a long period and when the refrigerator is operated for the first time.	Tem porarily increase the cooler temperature setting to the desired level or switch the appliance to Super Cooling mode.
LP Low voltage		Refrigerators witches to the standby mode when the voltage supply falls below 170 Volts.	This feature prevents the compress or from getting damaged due to low voltage. Refrigerator will start operating automatically when the voltage restores to the required level.

Temperature Warning:

The temperature display flashes “LC” and an audible warning sounds, when the temperature in the cooler compartment is too warm.

A rise in the temperature may be caused by;

• Frequent door opening for long periods of time
• Loading with large quantities of warm foods
  • High ambient temperature
• An error with the appliances.

Check Warnings;

Your fridge warns you if the temperatures for cooler departments are in improper levels or when a problem occurs in the appliance. Warning codes are displayed in the cooler Department Indicators. Warning codes appear in the cooler Compartment Setting Displays.

Also a warning sound are heard.

Showing code and buzzer will continue until you pushes SET or MODE button. When you push one of these buttons, buzzer will stop. “LC” warning will be disappear in 15 minutes. You don’t have to call your service, this condition may appear due to reasons above. You can keep storing your foods in your fridge. If “LC” warning will not disappear in an hour after pressing the button, you can call your service.

If your fridge is operating too loudly;

Compressor noise

- Normal motor noise. This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.

Bubbling noise and splash:

- This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.

Air Blow Noise:

- Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

If humidity builds up inside the cooler;

• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Is the ridge door opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
• Building up of water drops on the rear wall after automatic defrosting is normal. (in Static Models)

If the door is not opened and closed properly;

• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door joints broken or torn?
  • Is your fridge on a level surface?

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Compressor protection function will be activated after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet. Your appliance will start after 5 minutes, there is nothing to worry about.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to chapter “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult to the nearest Authorized service.
• The lifetime of your appliance stated and declared by the Department of the Industry is 10 years (the period for retaining parts required for the proper functioning of the appliance).

Conformity Information

• This equipment is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C - 43°C range.
• The appliance is designed in compliance with the IEC60335-1 / IEC60335-2-24, 2004/108/EC standards.

Tips for saving energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near heat source (radiator, cooker., etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow ward food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. So it causes energy saving. If the frozen food is put out, it causes wastage of energy.
4. When placing, drinks and slops they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases at the appliance. Therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and slops helps to save smell and taste.
5. When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briefly as possible.
6. Keep close the covers of any different temperature compartment in the appliance (crisper, chiller ...etc).
7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
