PART 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

Refrigerator Compartment

• 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 compartment.
• Nothing should touch to refrigerator back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick here. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days.
• You can put the fruits and vegetables into crisper without packing.

Freezer Compartment

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time and making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh and warm food to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use for storage of frozen food.
• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts you will use in one time.

- For storing the frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.

- When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.

- Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.

- If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.

- The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

- Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and the food which is wanted to freeze) more quickly because of the freezing room's greater freezing power. Fast freezing shelves are the middle drawers of the freezer compartment (see in page 16 - 17).

PART 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Make sure to unplug the fridge before starting to clean it.
- Do not wash your fridge by pouring water.
- You can wipe the inner and outer sides with a soft cloth or a sponge using warm and soapy water.

Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning.

Defrosting refrigerator compartment

- Defrosting occurs fully automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation; the defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.

- The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.

Defrosting Freezer compartment

- The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically.

- Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper provided.

- When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be done.

- Before defrosting operation, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping them in sheets of newspaper in order to obtain its temperature steady for long time.

• To accelerate the defrosting process place one or more basins of warm water in the freezer compartment.

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.

PART-6. 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 appliance does not operate;

Check that;

• There is no power, (Green lamp is off)
• The general switch in your home is 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 appliance performs poorly; (Red lamp is on)

Check that;

• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The thermostat setting is "1" position (if so set the thermostat dial suitable value)
  • 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)

Recommendations

• If the appliance is not used for long time (for example during the summer holidays) unplug and clean the appliance and leave the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when the doors are left open)

Conformity Information

• Normal Class is defined for the environment temperatures between 16°C and 32°C in accordance with the TS EN ISO 15502 Standards.
• The appliance is designed in compliance with the EN15502, 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.
