• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water added with a tea spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts after cleaning.

Before Using your Fridge

• At first installation if the product has been transported in horizontal position or after reversing the door hanging, wait at least 4 hours before connecting the appliance to the power supply.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.

Information on No-Frost Technology
No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in their operating principle.

In normal refrigerators the humidity entering the refrigerators due to opening the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the backside of air duct. To defrost the frost and ice in the backside of air duct, you are periodically required to turn off the refrigerator, place the food that needs to be kept cooled in a separately cooled. The situation is completely different in nofrost refrigerators. Dry and cold air is blown into the refrigerator compartment homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus preventing humidity and freezing. Therefore your no-frost refrigerators allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

• Fridge has been designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges specified in the standards according to the class of climate mentioned in the information label. The operation of the fridge in environments with temperature values not complying with the ones specified is not recommended for cooling efficiency.
• Your appliance is designed to operate at ambient temperatures between 10°C – 43°C. Climate class and meaning:

T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.

ST (subtropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C.

N (temperate) : This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at 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.

If turbo fan is available on your product

Do not block air inlet and outlet openings when storing food, otherwise air circulation that provided by turbo fan will be impaired.

Accessories

Chiller shelf (In some models)

Keeping food in the Chiller compartment instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartment allows food retain freshness and flavour longer, while preserving its fresh appearance. When chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash it with water. (Water freezes at 0°C, but foods containing salt or sugar freeze at temperature lower than that)

Normally people use the chiller compartment for raw fish, lightly pickled, rice, etc…

Fresh dial
When the humidity controler in the closed position, it allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored longer.

In case of the crisper is totally full, the fresh dial is located in front of crisper, should be opened. By means of this the air in the crisper and humidity rate will be controlled and endurance life will be increased.

If you see any condensation on glass shelf, humidity control should be taken into the open positions.

Visual and text descriptions on the accessories section may vary according to the model of your appliance.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• For normal operating conditions, adjusting the temperature value of the cooler partition of the fridge to 4°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 on the back wall as it will cause frost and the packages can stick on 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 crisper without packing.
• 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.
• 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.

NOTE : Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator.

If your fridge 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 appliance does not operate;

Check that;

• There is no power,
• The general switch in your home is disconnected ,
• 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 appliance performs poorly;
Check that;

• You have not overloaded the appliance ,
• The fridge temperature set to 2.
• The door is closed perfectly ,
• There is no dust on the condenser ,
• There is enough place at the rear and side walls.

If your fridge is operating too loudly;
Normal Noises

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 Blow Noise : Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in fridges during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm;
Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.

If humidity builds up inside the fridge;

• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Is the fridge’s door opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the door is opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the door more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

If the door is 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 joints broken or torn?
• Is your fridge on a level surface?

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 appliance 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 chapter “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• To stop the appliance completely, unplug from main socket (for cleaning and when the door is left open)
