C)EN-34 USAGE INFORMATION Accessories Fresh dial When the humidity controler in the closed position, it allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored longer. In case of the crisper is totally full, the fresh dial is located in front of crisper, should be opened. By means of this the air in the crisper and humidity rate will be controlled and endurance life will be increased. If you see any condensation on glass shelf, humidity control should be taken into the open positions. Maxi-fresh preserver Maxi Fresh Preserver technology eliminates the etylene gas (a biproduct of fresh foods) inside the crisper. By this method, it maximizes the fresh foods’ shelf lifes, especially the green vegetables. Also Maxi Fresh Preserver blocks the bad smell in refrigerator.

• Maxi Fresh Preserver must be cleaned once in a year. It can be cleaned under sunlight for one day.

• When you want to clean the lter, remove the back side in the direction of the arrow.

• Don’t wet this part with water or detergent. Maxi Fresh Preserver (In some models)EN-35

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• To reduce humidity and consequent increase of frost never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and in time will require more frequent defrosting.

• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator.

• Nothing should touch on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.

• Arrange the meat and cleaned sh (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the refrigerator (that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storing conditions.

• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.EN-36

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.

• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.

• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.

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

• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water Do not clean them in the dishwasher.

• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have nished cleaning, reconnect the plugto the mains supply with dry hands.

• Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity. THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.EN-37 Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment

• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation; the water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.

• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator instead of owing out.

• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring ½ glass of water down it. Replacing the LED strip 1 or 2 led strips in fridge is used to illumianate your appliance. Please call the service man. Note: Numbers and location of led strips may be changed according to the model. !!! Some versions may be without illumination.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your fridge is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore check the following, before calling an electrician to save time and money. What to do if your appliance does not operate; Check that;

• The general switch in your home is disconnected ,

• The socket is not sufcient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which is working into the same socket. What to do if your appliance performs poorly; Check that;

• You have not overloaded the appliance ,

• The fridge temperature set to 2.

• The door is closed perfectly ,

• There is no dust on the condenser ,

• There is enough place at the rear and side walls. If your fridge is operating too loudly; Normal Noises Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:

• During automatic defrosting.

• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material). Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/ off. 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 ow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system. Water ow noise: Normal ow noise of water owing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting. Alarm indicator led is turning on ERROR TYPE

"Failure Warning" There is/are some part(s) Out of order or there is a failure in cooling process Check the door is open or not. If the door is not open, call service for assistance as soon as possible.EN-40

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

Air Blow Noise: Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air. If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm; Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal. If humidity builds up inside the fridge;

• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?

• Is the fridge's door opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the door is opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the door more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high. 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? Recommendations

• To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when the door is left open) Tips for saving energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight

and not near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.

3. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise

humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.

4. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too

frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller
