Adjusting the legs

If your refrigerator is unbalanced;

You can balance your refrigerator 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 refrigerator will facilitate this process.

Preparation

Your refrigerator should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heater and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens and should not be located under direct sunlight.

Using your refrigerator

Thermostat setting button
The interior temperature of your refrigerator changes for the following reasons;

Seasonal temperatures,
Frequent opening of the door and leaving the door open for long periods,
Food put into the refrigerator without cooling down to the room temperature,
The location of the refrigerator in the room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
You may adjust the varying interior temperature due to such reasons by using the thermostat.
Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob and may be set at any position between MIN and MAX (the coldest position).
The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C (+41°F). Therefore adjust the thermostat to obtain the desired temperature. Some sections of the fridge may be cooler or warmer (such as salad crisper and top part of the cabinet) which is quite normal. We recommend that you check the temperature periodically with a thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is kept to this temperature. Frequent door openings cause internal temperatures to rise, so it is advisable to close the door as soon as possible after use.

Dual cooling system:

Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment do not get mixed.
Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher than other refrigerators. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

Reversing the doors

Proceed in numerical order

Freezing fresh food

Wrap or cover the food before placing them in the refrigerator.
Hot food must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.
The foodstuff that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.
Foodstuff must be divided into portions according to the family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.
Foodstuff must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be kept for a short time.
Materials to be used for packagings must be resistant to cold and humidity and they must be airtight. The packaging material of the food must be at a sufficient thickness and durability. Otherwise the food hardened due to freezing may puncture the packaging. It is important for the packaging to be closed securely for safe storage of the food.
Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.

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.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
Make sure raw foods are not in contact with cooked foods in the fridge.
Maximum frozen food storage volume is achieved without using the drawers provided in the freezer compartment. Energy consumption of your appliance is declared while the freezer compartment is fully loaded on shelves without the use of the drawers.
It is recommended that you place foodstuffs on top shelf of freezer for initial freezing.

Deep-freeze information

Food must be frozen as rapidly as possible when they are put in the freezer in order to keep them in good quality.
The TSE norm requires (according to certain measurement conditions) the refrigerator to freeze at least 4.5 kg of foodstuff at 32°C ambient temperature to -18°C or lower within 24 hours for every 100-liters of freezer volume.
It is possible to preserve the food for a long time only at -18°C or lower temperatures.

Maintenance and cleaning

Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.
We recommend that you unplug the ppliance before cleaning.
Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.
Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.
If your refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.
Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the outer surfaces and chromium coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes corrosion on such metal surfaces.

Protection of plastic surfaces
