THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

Thermostat setting

The fridge freezer thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained.

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

Freezer & fridge thermostat setting;

1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between the minimum and medium position.

3-4: For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob to the medium position.

5: For freezing fresh food. The appliance will work for longer. So, after the desired condition is reached, return the knob to the previous setting.

If Super Switch is available:

a) Super freezing: If ambient temperature is more than 18^ C, This switch can be used as superfreeze switch.

Super freeze switch should be used for freezing the fresh food or when the RED lamp on the head panel is ON. (RED lamp on the head panel becomes ON when there is insufficient cooling).

The appliance will work longer when you activate this switch. So after you get the cold condition (or the Red lamp on the head panel is off) you must return to previous position.

At the ambient temperature more than 18 ^ C, if superfreezing function doesn't want to be used, it must always be set to OFF position.

b) Low ambient performance: If ambient temperature is less than 18 °C, this switch can also be used as a low ambient switch for good low ambient performance.

In low ambient temperatures, this switch heats the fridge part to prevent extra cooling / freezing.

Warnings about Temperature Adjustments

• We recommend that you do not operate your fridge in environments where the ambient temperature is below 10^ because this will reduce its efficiency.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings and the quantity of food kept inside the fridge.
• Do not pass to another adjustment before completing an adjustment.
• 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.

• During power cut, to prevent any compressor problem you should unplug the refrigerator. You should delay plugging in 5 – 10 minutes after your power supply returns. 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.
• 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.

- This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 10^ - 43^ range.

Climate class	Ambient (°C)
T 16 to 43 (°C)
ST 16 to 38 (°C)
N 16 to 32 (°C)
SN 10 to 32 (°C)

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 that the temperature setting has not been done properly.

Since “OK” appears in black, it will be difficult to see this indication if the temperature indicator is badly lit. To be able to see this indication properly, there should be enough light.

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 ice crystals build up (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.

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 room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• 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 fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment(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.

Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.

NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

Food Maximum	Storing time	Where to place in the fridge compartment
Vegetables and fruits 1	week Vegetable bin
Meat and fish 2 - 3 Days		Wrapped in plastic foil or bags or in a meat container(on the glass shelf)
Fresh cheese 3 - 4 Days	In special door shelf
Butter and margarine 1	week In special door shelf
Bottled products milk and yoghurt	Until the expiry date recommended by the producer	In special door shelf
Eggs 1 month In the egg	shelf
Cooked food	All shelves

Freezer compartment

• Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing the frozen food for a long time and for producing ice.
• To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for upper and middle section. For bottom section, please use lower basket.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, Set the refrigerator at 4 for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 5 for 24 hours is generally sufficient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.
• Please do not place the food you shall newly freeze nearby the already frozen food.
• You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.) by dividing them into portions in such a way that they can be consumed once.

- Please do not refreeze the frozen food once they are thawed. It may pose a danger for your health since it might cause problems such as food poisoning.

- Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You would cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze to become putrefied.

- When you buy frozen food, makes sure that they were frozen under appropriate conditions and the package is not torn.

- While storing the frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there is not any explanation, the food must be consumed within the shortest time possible.

- If there had been humidification in the frozen food package and it has a foul smell, the food might have been stored under unsuitable conditions previously and gone rotten. Do not purchase this type of foods!

- The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the ambient temperature, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food type and the time elapsed from the purchase time of the food to the time it is placed into the freezer.

Always abide by the instructions on the package and never exceed t storage duration.

Note that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not be opened easily. It's quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be opened easily.

Important note:

- Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after being thawed they must NEVER be re-frozen.

- The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore, the frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.

- The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.

- The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

CHAPTER 6. TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION

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.
• Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie, shelves, crisper...) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent them from getting damaged.

Carry your fridge in the upright position.

Repositioning the door

• It is not possible to change the opening direction of your refrigerator door, if the door handle on your refrigerator is 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 refrigerator may be changed, you should contact the nearest Authorised Service Agent to have the opening direction changed.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE

If your fridge freezer is not working properly, it may be a minor problem, therefore to save time and money, check the following, before calling an electrician.

What to do if your appliance does not operate

Check that:

• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected,
• The thermostat setting is on the «•» position,
• The socket is not faulty. To check this, plug the appliance in to another socket which you know is working.

What to do if your appliance performs poorly

Check that:

• You have overloaded the appliance,
• The thermostat setting is on position "1" (if so set the thermostat dial to a suitable value).
  • The doors are closed properly,
• There is no dust on the condenser,
• There is enough space at the rear and side walls.

If your fridge is operating too loudly

Normal Noises

Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise: (For no frost/frost free appliances)

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
• The compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.

Bubbling noise and splash:

- This noise is caused by the flow of the fridge freezer in the tubes of the system.

If your fridge is operating too loudly

To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises from your fridge at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically.

If the noises persist;

• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
  • Is there anything behind your fridge?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?

if this is the case.

If you hear any other noises check that:

• The appliance is level
• Nothing is touching the rear of the appliance
• The objects on the appliance are vibrating.

Water flow noise: (For no frost/frost free appliances) Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.

Air Blow Noise: If the appliance has fan in freezer/cooler /bottom cabinet compartments.

This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

If there is water in the lower part of the fridge freezer,

Check that:

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

Recommendations

• If you do not intend to use the appliance for long time (for example during the summer holidays) unplug and clean the appliance and leave the door open to formation of mildew and smells.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug it from the main socket (for cleaning and when the doors are left open).
• If a problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

ENERGY SAVING

For better energy saving we suggest :

1. Installing tge appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well ventilated roo.
2. Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuos functionaliting of the compressor.
3. Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
4. Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.
5. In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.
6. Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible.
7. Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.
8. Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance.
9. Energy consumption is declared with maximum load and using only freezer bottom glass shelf.
