INSTALLATION
Before using the appliance, you should pay attention to the following points:
- The operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
- The plug must be accessible after installation.
- Before connecting your fridge, ensure that the information on the data plate (voltage and connected load) matches that of the mains electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
- Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient ground connection. If the socket has no ground contact or the plug does not match, we recommend you consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
- The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. The power supply (AC) and voltage at the operating point must match with the details on the name plate of the appliance (the name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).
- 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 the appliance
- 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.
USING THE APPLIANCE
Thermostat setting The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature
inside the cooler and freezer compartments. Refrigerator temperatures can be
obtained by rotating the knob to higher numbers; 1 to 3, 1 to 5 (Maximum
numbers on the thermostat depends on your product).
1 - 2: For
short-term storage of food
3 - 4: For long-term storage of food
5: Maximum cooling position. The appliance will work longer. If required,
change the temperature setting.
Temperature setting warnings
- Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
- Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the appliance and the ambient temperature in the location of your appliance.
- When the appliance is first switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to reach operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large quantity of food inside.
- A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your appliance when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Yourappliance will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.

ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C.
SN (extended temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be
used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C.
STORING THE FOOD
Refrigerator compartment
- To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
- Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are kept in the fridge. Do not place warm foods in fridge. Place them when they are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge will increases, reducing the fridge’s efficiency.
- Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
- We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.
- Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
- Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene- releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
- Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
- Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
- Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
- Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
- Consume packaged foods before the
- recommended expiry date.
- Do not allow food to come into contact with the temperature sensor, which is located · in the refrigerator compartment, in order to keep the refrigerator compartment at optimum temperature.
- For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient 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.
- The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.
- 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.
- Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
- To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
- Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.
Food | Maximum storing time | Where to place in the fridge compartment |
---|---|---|
Vegetables and fruits | 1 week | Vegetable bin |
Meet 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| 2 days| All shelves
Note: Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

THE POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED.
DEFROSTING
Defrosting the fridge compartment
- Defrosting occurs fully automatically in fridge compartment during operation; the defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
- The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf) should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the fridge instead of flowing out.
- You can also clean the drain hole by pouring 1/2 glass of water down it. Replacing LED lighting If your refrigerator has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.
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 the 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the 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
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 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.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator
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 prevent the 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.
- The lifetime of your appliance is stated and declared by the Department of Industry. The length of time for retaining parts required for the proper operation of the appliance is 10 years.
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.
- It is possible to store more food by removing freezer shelf. Energy consumption is declared with maximum load and without freezer shelf.
