• The refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for a few days.

• Do not place food in direct contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.

Leave some space around food to allow circulation of air.

• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.

• Always store food in closed containers or wrapped.

• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers

in the refrigerator.

• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is recommended to be placed on the glass shelf

just above the vegetable bin, where the air is colder.

• You can put fruit and vegetables into the crisper without packaging.

• To avoid cold air escaping, try not to open the door too often, and not leave the door

open for a long time.

• For normal working conditions, it will be sucient to adjust the temperature setting of

your refrigerator to +4 °C.

• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh

foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.

• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass

outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning

and unnecessary spoiling of the food.

Making Ice cubes;

Ice tray ;

• Fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer compartment.

• After the water completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to get

the ice cube.

All written and visual descriptions in the accessories may

vary according to the appliance model.

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food and for storing frozen food for the

period of time indicated on packaging, and for making ice cubes.

• When freezing fresh food, wrap and seal the food properly; the packaging should be air

tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade, if in doubt

double wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.

• The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours

is indicated on the name plate (see Freezing Capacity).

• While freezing fresh foods (i.e meat,sh and mincemeat), divide them in parts you will

use in one time.

• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to consume

them in as short period of time.

• Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen food.

• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage

time.

• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a

suciently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door

to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.

• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.

• When purchasing and storing frozen food products, ensure that the packaging is not

damaged.

• The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen food is indicated

on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If no

information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.

• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.

EN - 14 -

• Once the food has thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible

in order to consume or to freeze once again.

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, 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.

Defrosting

For fridge compartment

• Defrosting occurs automatically in refrigerator compartment during operation ; the defrost

water is collected by the evaporating tray and evoparates automatically.

• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with

defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator

instead of owing out.

• You can also pour ½ glass of the water to drain hole to clean inside.

For freezer compartment;

The frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically. The

freezer compartment should be cleaned in the way as the refrigerator compartment, with the

defrost operations of the compartment at least twice a year.

For this;

• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to 5. position to freeze the foods

completely.

• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in

a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember

to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.

• Switch the refrigerator o at the socket outlet and pull the main plug

• Leave the door open and to accelerate the defrosting process one or more basins of

warm water can be placed in the freezer compartment.

• Dry the inside of the unit and water tray, ret the tray plug and set the thermostat knob

to 5 position.

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/o.-

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 rst activated.

Bubbling noise and splash:

This noise is caused by the ow 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

if this is the case.

• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?

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 ow noise: (For no frost/frost free appliances) Normal ow noise of water owing 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.

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 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 reduces the energy requirements.

4– 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.

5– When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briey as possible.

6– Keep the covers closed of any dierent temperature compartment in the appliance

(crisper, chiller ...etc ).

7– The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket.
