• The thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator compartment. By rotating the knob from position « 1 » to « 5 », colder temperatures can be obtained.

• The « • » position shows thermostat is closed and no cooling will take place.

• For short-term storage of food in the refrigerator compartment, you can set the knob between minimum and medium positions (1-3).

• For long-term storage of food in the refrigerator compartment, you can set knob to the medium position (3-4). Note that: the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. If required, change the temperature setting.

• Larders (coolers) do not have a freezer compartment but can cool below 5°C. When you first switch on the appliance, it may take 24 hours of continuous operation to reach operating temperature.

• During this time, do not open the door frequently or place a large quantity of food inside the appliance.

• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting or plugging the unit in, so as to not damage the compressor.

• When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.

• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.EN - 18 - Climate Class Ambient Temperature (°C)

• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.

• To prevent the cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door open for a long time.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Warnings for Temperature Settings

• The ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator. If required, change the temperature setting.

• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency.

• The thermostat setting should be done by taking into consideration how often the fresh food and freezer doors are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located.

• Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled. Do not open doors of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period.

• A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.

• 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. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are out of the stated temperature intervals in terms of cooling efficiency.

• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16°C - 32°C range.EN - 19 -

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCEEN - 20 -

Replacing The Bulb To replace the bulb in freezer and fridge departments;

1- Unplug your fridge.

2- Remove the cover of the box from the claws using a screwdriver.

3- Replace with a bulb of maximum 15 Watts.

4- Install the cover.

5- Wait for 5 minutes before re-plugging and bring the thermostat to its original

position. 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 flowing out.

• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring ½ glass of water down it. Replacing LED Lighting If your refrigerator has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.EN - 21 -

BEFORE CALLING SERVICE

If your refrigerator is not working properly it may be a minor problem, therefore in order to save time and money, check the following, before calling an electrician. What to do if your refrigerator does not operate: Check that: There is no power, The general switch in your home is not disconnected , The thermostat setting is on the « • » position, The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working into the same socket. What to do if your refrigerator performs poorly Check that:

• You have not overloaded the appliance ,

• The doors are closed properly ,

• There is no dust on the condenser ,

• There is enough space at the rear and side walls. 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 you hear any different noises, check that ;

• The appliance is level ,

• Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance,

• The objects on the appliance are vibrating. If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator Check that: The drain hole for the water is not clogged (use the defrost drain plug to clean the drain

Transportation and Changing of Installation Position

• The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.

• During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.

hole). If your fridge is not cooling sufficiently 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. W e do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the fridge. Recommendations

• In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the « cooling section » of refrigerator is located inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. If this wall is covered with frost or water drops when the compressor is running, do not worry. This is quite normal. The appliance should be defrosted only if an excessively thick ice layer forms on the back wall.

• If the appliance will not be used for a long perios of time (for example during the summer holidays), set the thermostat knob to the « • » position. Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smells. 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 ...etc )
