Do not place your product on materials such as rugs or carpets.
4. Place your cooler/freezer on an even floor surface to prevent jolts.

4 Preparation

• Your cooler/freezer should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heaters, and stoves, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens, and should not be located under direct sunlight.
• Please make sure that the interior of your cooler/freezer is cleaned thoroughly.
• If two coolers are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.
• When you operate your cooler/freezer for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.
• Its door should not be opened frequently.
• It must be operated empty without placing any food in it.
• Do not unplug your cooler/freezer. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the “Recommended solutions for the problems” section.
• The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy consumption and for better storage conditions.
• Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of the appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.

- This product has been designed to function at ambient temperatures up to 43 °C (90 °F). Even if the ambient temperature falls to -15 °C, frozen food in the freezer does not thaw thanks to its Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System. For the first installation, the product should NOT be placed under low ambient temperatures. This is because the freezer cannot go down to standard operation temperature. When reaching continuous operation, the product can be moved to another place. Thus, later you can place your product in the garage or an unheated room without the concern of causing frozen food to get rotten. However, it is likely that above mentioned low temperatures may cause the freezing of the food in the fridge compartment; thus, please consume the food items in the fridge in a controlled way as needed. When ambient temperature goes back to normal, you may change button setting according to your need.

- If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in fridge compartment will freeze. Therefore, we recommend not using the fridge compartment in such low ambient temperatures. You may continue to use the freezer compartment as usual.

- In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 5 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.

Adjusting the legs

If your cooler/freezer is unbalanced;

You can balance your cooler/freezer by turning its front legs as illustrated in the figure. The corner where the leg exists is lowered when you turn in the direction of black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. Taking help from someone to slightly lift the cooler/freezer will facilitate this process.

Door Open Warning

(This feature is optional)

An audio warning signal will be given when the door of your product is left open for at least 1 minute. This warning will be muted when the door is closed or any of the display buttons (if any) are pressed.

Reversing the doors

Proceed in numerical order.

5 Using your cooler/freezer

Setting the operating temperature

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.

1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)

MAX. = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)

Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.

The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of foods kept inside.

Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise.

For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.

The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards Position MAX.

We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to take the reading immediately since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.

Indicator lights

There are three coloured indicator lights located inside the appliance which show the operating mode of the freezer.

Amber Indicator

Illuminates when the thermostat knob is turned to the MAX position and stays on until the fast freeze operation is deactivated manually.

Fast-freeze operation is for freezing fresh food.

Green Indicator

Illuminates when the appliance is connected to the mains and will glow as long as there is electricity present. The green indicator does not give any indication of the temperature inside the freezer.

Red Indicator High Temperature Alarm

After the appliance is turned on for the first time, the alarm is not active for 12 hours (the red LED indicator is switched off).

After this period of time, the red LED indicator is switched on in the following situations:

- If the appliance is overloaded with fresh food - If the door is left open by mistake. In these situations, the red LED indicator will continue to be switched on until the appliance reaches the preset temperature. If the red LED indicator is still switched on, then wait for 24 hours before calling service.

Thermostat knob

The thermostat knob is located on the indicator light frame.

Important:

When you press the fast-freeze switch or adjust the set temperature, there may be a short delay before the compressor starts to operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault.

Freezing

Freezing food

You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food.

Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.

- Attention

Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.

Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.

In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.

Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.

- Attention

Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food.

When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don't worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.

You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.

Fast freeze

If large amounts of fresh food are going to be frozen, adjust the control knob to max. 24 hours before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze compartment.

It is strongly recommended to keep the knob at MAX. position at least 24 hours to freeze maximum amount of fresh food declared as freezing capacity. Take special care not to mix frozen food and fresh food.

Remember to turn the thermostat knob back to its previous position once food has frozen.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.

Freezing fresh food

It is preferable to wrap or cover the food before placing it in the cooler/freezer.

Hot food must cool down to room temperature before putting it in the cooler/freezer.

The foodstuff that you want to freeze must be fresh and of good quality.

Foodstuff must be divided into portions according to the family's daily or meal-based consumption needs.

The foodstuff must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent it from drying out, even if it is going to be kept for a short time.

Materials used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils, and acids, and they must also be airtight. Moreover, they must be well closed and made from easy-to-use materials suitable for deep freeze usage.

Frozen food must be used immediately after thawing and should never be re-frozen.

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.

1. Do not freeze too large quantities of food at one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
2. Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.
3. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

Recommendations for preservation of frozen food

• Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a * (4 star) frozen food storage compartment.
• To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:
• Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
• Ensure that contents are labeled and dated.
• Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
