• We do not take the responsibility of the damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, Gas ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.

- Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.

- When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer surface.

- Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on the upper side.

CHAPTER 5. BEFORE CALLING 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 leveled,
- 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

• In order to increase space and improve the appearance, the « cooling section » of refrigerators is positioned inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment. When the appliance is running, 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 is not used for a long time (for example during the summer holidays). Set the thermostat knob to « • » position. Defrost and clean the refrigerator leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and smell.

Conformity Information

• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 16^ - 32^ range.
• The appliance is designed in compliance with the EN62552, 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 warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3- 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.
4- When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briefly as possible.
5- Keep the covers closed of any different temperature compartment in the appliance (crisper, chiller ...etc. ).
6- Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
