Installing and operating your fridge
Before using your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:
- The operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
- The mains cord of your fridge is fitted with a grounded plug. This plug should be used with a grounded receptacle that has a 16 ampere fuse minimum. If you don't have a receptacle which conforms to this, contact a qualified electrician.
- We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
- Place your fridge where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
- Your fridge should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
- When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity forming 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 of free space is available above it.
- Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance is level and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them in either direction. This should be done before placing food in the fridge.
- Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate, then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts in the fridge 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.
- The refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free space not exceeding 75 mm.
Before Using your Fridge
- When using your fridge for the first time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
- Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.
Fridges with new generation cooling technology have a different working system than static fridges. In normal fridges, humid air that enters into fridge and the water vapor that comes out from the foods, accumulates frost formation in freezer compartment. In order to melt this frost, in other words defrost, the fridge has to be stopped. During the stopping period, to keep the foods cold, user has to extract the food to outside of fridge and user has to clear the ice during this period.
In the fridges with new generation cooling technology, situation in the freezer compartment is completely different. With the aid of fan, cold and dry air is blown out through many points into the freezer compartment. As a result of the homogenously blown cold air, even in the spaces between shelves, foods are frozen equally and correctly. On the other hand there will be no frost formation.
In the refrigerator compartment, there will be nearly same configuration with freezer compartment. Air, that is emitted with the fan, located at the top of refrigerator compartment, is cooled while passing through the gap behind the air duct. At the same time, air is blown out through the holes on the air duct so that cooling process is successfully completed in the refrigerator compartment. Holes on the air duct are designed such that the air distribution becomes homogenous in this compartment.
As there is no air passage between freezer and refrigerator compartment, there will be no odor mixing.
As a result of these, your fridge with new generation cooling technology, gives you, ease of use beside the huge volume and esthetic appearance.

Accessories
Freezer box
The freezer box allows foods are maintained more regularly.
Removing the freezer box;
- Pull the box out as far as possible.
- Pull the front of the box up and out.
To reset the sliding compartment, perform the same operation in reverse.
Note: Always keep hold of the box handle while removing it.
Freezer boxes
Chiller Shelf (in some models)
Keeping food in the chiller compartment instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartment allows food to retain freshness and flavor longer, while preserving its fresh appearance. When the chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash it with water.
(Water freezes at 0°C, but foods containing salt or sugar freeze at temperatures lower than that.)
Normally, people use the chiller compartment for raw fish, lightly pickled items, rice, etc.
Do not put foods you want to freeze or ice trays in order to make ice.
Removing the chiller shelf
- Pull the chiller shelf out toward you by sliding it on the rails.
- Pull the chiller shelf up from the rail to remove it.
Humidity Controller (in some models)
When the humidity controller is in the closed position, it allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored longer.
If the crisper is completely full, the fresh dial, located in front of the crisper, should be opened. This will control the air and humidity level in the crisper, thereby increasing the shelf life of the produce.
If you see any condensation on the glass shelf, the humidity control should be set to the open position.
- Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
- Do not clean the appliance by pouring water on it.
- Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
- The refrigerator 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 dishwasher.
- Do not use abrasive products, detergents, or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.
- Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year. This will help you save on energy costs and increase productivity.
THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.
Defrosting
- Your refrigerator performs automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporisation container behind your refrigerator, and evaporates there.
- Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your refrigerator before cleaning the vaporisation container.
- Remove the vaporisation container from its position by removing the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy water at specific time intervals. This will prevent odours from forming.
Replacing LED Lighting
If your refrigerator has LED lighting, contact the help desk, as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.
Refrigerator compartment
- For normal operating conditions, adjusting the temperature value of the cooler partition of the fridge to 5°C will be enough.
- 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 the back wall, as it will cause frost and the packages can stick to 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 the crisper without packing.
Some recommendations have been specified below for the placement and storage of your food in the cooling compartment.
| Food | Maximum Storing time | Where to place in the fridge department |
| 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 | | |
NOTE: Potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.
Freezer compartment
- Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing frozen food for a long time and for producing ice.
- To get maximum capacity for the freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for the upper and middle sections. For the bottom section, please use the lower basket.
- Please do not place the food you shall newly freeze near 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 the indicated storage duration.
- During long lasting power failures, please do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. Your refrigerator shall preserve your frozen food for about 18 hours in ambient temperatures of 25°C and for about 13 hours in ambient temperatures of 32°C . This value will decrease under higher ambient temperatures. During longer power failures, do not refreeze your food and consume them as soon as possible.
Not 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,
ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
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.
Some recommendations have been specified on pages 63, 64 and 65 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

| ERROR TYPE E | ERROR TYPE WHY | WHAT TO DO | |
| LOPO | "Low voltage Warning" | When the power supply gets lower than 170 V the appliance gets to steady position. | This not a failure. This prevents any damages on the compressor. This warning will off after the voltage gets required level |
If your fridge is not operating;
• Is there a power failure? - Is the plug connected to the socket correctly? - Is the fuse of the socket to which the plug is connected or the main fuse blown? - Is there any failure at the socket? To check this, plug your refrigerator to a socket this is surely operating.
If your fridge is not cooling enough;
• Is the temperature adjustment right?
- Is the door of your fridge opened frequently and left open for a long while?
• Is the door of fridge closed properly?
- Did you put a dish or food on your fridge so that it contacts the rear wall of your fridge so as to prevent the air circulation?
• Is your fridge filled excessively?
- Is there adequate distance between your fridge and the rear and side walls?
- Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specified in the operating manual?
If the food in your refrigerator compartment is over cooled
• Is the temperature adjustment right?
- Are there many food recently put inside the freezer compartment? If so, your fridge may over cool the food inside the refrigerator compartment as it will operate longer to cool these food.
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 if this is the case.
- Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?
Normal Noises;
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• 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. Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.
Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting.
Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge;
- Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
- Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.
If the doors are not opened and closed properly;
- Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
- Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
- Are door gaskets broken or torn? • Is your fridge on a level surface?
Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Compressor protection function will be activated after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet. Your fridge will start after 5 minutes, there is nothing to worry about.
- If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to Part 4 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 authorized service.
- The appliance you bought 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 emphasize that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair and failure within the guarantee period.
- The lifetime of your appliance stated and declared by the Department of the Industry is 10 years (the period for retaining parts required for the proper functioning of the appliance).
Tips for saving energy
- Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
- Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
- 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. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste of energy.
- Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance. Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
- Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
- Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc) closed.
- Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
