General notes:

Fresh Food Compartment (Fridge): Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance, and shelves evenly distributed, position of door bins does not affect energy consumption.

Freezer Compartment (Freezer): Most Efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers and bins are on stock position.

CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE

Thermostat setting

Thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator compartment. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5 , colder temperatures can be obtained.

Important note: Do not try to rotate knob beyond 1 position it will stop your appliance.

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

• For long-term storage of food in the refrigerator compartment, you can set knob to 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.

Important note: The coldest area inside the appliance is immediately below the ice making compartment. In this area condensation may occur. Icing, frosting and condensation may occur in the ice making compartment and other compartments. This is normal and does not affect cooling. It can be wiped with dry cloth, according to safety instructions.

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 compartment. If required, change the temperature setting.
• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10^ .
• The temperature setting should be set by taking into consideration how often the fridge door is opened and closed, how much food is stored in the fridge and the environment in which and the positioning of the appliance.
  We recommend that when first using the fridge it should be left running for 24 hours uninterrupted to ensure it is completely cooled. Do not open the fridge door, or put food inside for this period.
• Your fridge has a 5 minute built in delay function, designed to prevent damage to the compressor. When power is applied to your fridge, it will begin 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 10^ - 43^ range.

Climate class and meaning:

CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE

SN (extended temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10^ to 32^ .

Temperature indicator

In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in the coldest area.

To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make sure the message "OK" appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does not appear, this means temperature has not been set properly

It may be difficult to see the indicator, make sure it is properly lit. Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilisation of the temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary,

with a new temperature setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively and wait at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.

NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication "OK" not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal build up of ice crystals of ice crystals (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment, evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until compressor off periods are obtained again.

Store food in the coldest area of the refrigerator.

Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most appropriate cooling area. The coldest area is just above the crisper.

The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your refrigerator.

To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is located at the level of this symbol, as shown in the illustration.

The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by the lower side of the sticker (head of the arrow). The coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level with the arrow head. The coldest area is below this level.

As these shelves are removable, make sure they are always at the same level with these zone limits described on the stickers, in order to guarantee temperatures in this area.

Accessories

Ice tray

• Fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer compartment.
  After the water completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to get the ice cube.

Summer / Winter mode

The drain tray flap allows you to adjust cold air flow inside your refrigerator according to summer (high ambient temperature) and winter (low ambient temperature) seasons.

Summer mode (mode 1)

The bottom compartment in the refrigerator will be much cooler.

Winter mode (mode 2)

The bottom compartment in the refrigerator will not be as cool. While defrosting, winter mode should be used.

Cleaning

Before cleaning your fridge, turn your mains supply off and remove the plug from the socket.
- Do not wash your fridge by pouring water on to it.
- Use a warm, soapy cloth or sponge to wipe the interior and exterior of your fridge.
- Carefully remove all shelves and drawers by sliding upwards or outwards and clean with soapy water. Do not wash in a washing machine or dishwasher.
- Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all purpose cleaning agents to clean your fridge. This may cause damage to the plastic surfaces and other components with the chemicals they contain.
- Clean the condenser at the back of your fridge at least once a year with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.

Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning.

Defrosting

Excessive frost will affect the performance of the refrigerator. The ice making compartment should be defrosted at least twice a year, or when ice exceeds 7mm thick.

For this;

• Make sure that drain tray flap is in place. (Set the Winter mode. At the end of defrosting set the previous mode depending on the ambient temperature - Winter or Summer mode)
  The day before you defrost the freezer, set the thermostat dial to 5 to freeze the foods completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The

inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.

• Switch the refrigerator off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
• Leave the door open. To accelerate the defrosting process one or more basins of warm water can be placed in the freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit and dripping tray with a sponge or a clean cloth and set the thermostat knob to 5.

The hole at the bottom of refrigerator at the back is closed and has no effect on the product's cooling system.

• Allow warn or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps reduce power consumption.
• To avoid frost buildup ensure that nothing is stored touching the back wall.
• The coldest area of the refrigerator is at the bottom. We recommend to use this area to store food that will perish easily, such as fish, ready meals, baked goods or dairy products. The warmest area is the top shelf of the door. We recommend you store butter or cheese here.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4^ .
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0 - 8^ C , fresh foods below 0^ C are iced
• and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8^ , and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase
  the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is
• preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
