direction). This should be done before placing food in the fridge.

• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts back with warm water added with a tea spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts after cleaning.

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

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

Before Using your Fridge

• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to allow efficient operation. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor.

• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

PART-2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

Thermostat Setting

Thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the refrigerator compartment and freezer 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 freezer compartment, you can set the knob between minimum and medium position.(1-3)
• For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knop 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.

• When you first switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable cooling, the appliance should work 24 hours continuously until it cools down to sufficient temperature.
• In this time do not open the door so often and place a lot of food inside the appliance.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting or re-plugged the unit in order not to damage the compressor.
• The freezer**** of the refrigerator can cool up to -18^ and more.
• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16^ - 32^ range.

If super switch is available:

In order to ensure proper operation with an ambient temperature below 20^ , press the button next to the thermostat. Press the button again to turn it off when the temperature is high (above 20^ ).

Accessories

"Door Open" Indicator;

• The « Door Open » indicator on the handle shows whether the door has closed properly or whether it is still open.
• If the indicator is red, the door is still open.
• If the indicator is white, the door is properly closed.
• Observe that the freezer's door should always be kept closed. This will prevent food products from defrosting; it will avoid heavy ice and frost build-up inside the freezer and an unnecessary increase in energy consumption.

Making Ice cubes;

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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect unit from the power supply before cleaning.

• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water.

• The refrigerator compartment 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 washing machine.

• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning operations have been completed reconnect the plug of the unit with dry hands.

• You should clean the condenser with broom at least twice a year in order to provide energy saving and increase the productivity.

Defrosting

For fridge compartment

• 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.

For freezer compartment;

The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically. The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the way as the refrigerator compartment, with the defrost operations of the compartment at least twice a year.

For this;

• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to 5. position 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 the main plug
• Leave the door open and 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 water tray, refit the tray plug and set the thermostat knob to 5 position.

Replacing The Light Bulb

When replacing the light of the refrigerator compartment;

1. Unplug the unit from the power supply,
2. Press the hooks on the sides of the light cover top and remove the light cover
3. Change the present light bulb with a new one of not more than 15 W.
4. Replace the light cover and after waiting 5 minutes plug the unit.

Replacing LED Lighting

If your refrigerator has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.

PART-4.

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION

Transportation and changing of installation position

• Original package and foam may be kept for re-transportation (optionally).

• You should fasten your fridge with thick package, bands or strong cords and follow the instructions for transportation on the package for re-transportation.

• Remove movable parts (shelves, accessories, vegetable bins etc.) or fix them into the fridge against shocks using bands during re-positioning and transportation.

Carry your fridge in the upright position.

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 Authorised Service to have the opening direction changed.

PART-5. BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your refrigerator 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 refrigerator does not operate;

Check that ;

• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is not disconnected ,
• The thermostat setting is on "·" position,
• The socket is not sufficient. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know which 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 perfectly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough place 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 these sounds are different check that;

• The appliance is well levelled ,
• Nothing is touching the rear,
• The stuffs on the appliance are vibrating.

If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator;

Check that ;

The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged(Use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole)

If your fridge is not cooling 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. We do not recommend operating your fridge out of stated temperatures value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.

Climate Class Ambient Temperature (°C)
T	Between 16 and 43 (°C)
ST Between 16 and 38 (°C)
N	Between 16 and 32 (°C)
SN Between 10 and 32 (°C)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• While power cut, to prevent any compressor problem you should plug out the refrigerator. You should delay plugging in 5 - 10 minutes after you power supply. If you plug out the refrigerator for a reason you should wait at least 5 min to replug. It is important for avoiding damage to refrigerator's components.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or icing may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor in specified intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the icing is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), put the thermostat to "..." position. After defrosting, clean your fridge 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 Authorised Service.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer use the appliance in a way that does not comply with these features, we emphasise that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.

Tips for saving energyTips 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 warm 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 reduces the energy requirements.
4- When placing, drinks and liquids they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases at the appliance. Therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and liquids helps preserve the smell and taste.
5- When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briefly as possible.
6- Keep the covers closed of any different temperature compartment in the appliance (crisper, chiller ...etc ).
7- Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
