WARNING: Do not locate extension sockets or charging transformers/power supplies or Lithium-Iron battery-operated products adjacent to the compressor as they could overheat.

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.

Reversing the doors

Proceed in numerical order

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.

• The ambient temperature of
  the room where you install your refrigerator should at least be
  5°C. Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions is not recommended with regard to its efficiency.

• Please make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.

• If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.

• When you operate your refrigerator for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.

• The door should not be opened frequently.

• It must be operated empty without any food in it.

• Do not unplug your refrigerator. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the “Recommended solutions for the problems” section.

• Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportation or moving.

• The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy consumption and for better storage conditions.

• Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of the appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.

• In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 5 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.

• Due to temperature changes as a result of opening/closing the product door during operation, condensation on the door/body shelves and the glass containers is normal

Using your refrigerator

Temperature Control And Adjustment

Temperature is controlled by the thermostat which is located on the rear wall of the cabinet (see the diagram on page 5). Thermostat knob is located on the thermostat housing. “Number 4” is the coldest setting. The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob .towards ‘number 4 ‘ position
We recommend that you check the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after .you remove it from the freezer Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is .put in or removed

How to Freeze Fresh Foods

• Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to a size to be consumed, and frozen in separate packages. In this way, all the food should be prevented from being re-frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional value, the aroma and the color of the foods as much as possible, vegetables should be boiled for a short period of time before freezing.(Boiling is not necessary for foods such as cucumber, and parsley.) Cooking time of the vegetables frozen in this way is shortened by 1/3 than that of the fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of frozen foods, boiled vegetables must first be filtered and then hermetically packaged as in the all types of foods.
•  Foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without a package.
• The packaging material of the food to be stored should be air-tight, thick and durable and should not deform with cold and humidity. Otherwise, the food that is hardened by freezing might pierce the package. Sealing the package well is also important in terms of securely storing the food.

The following packaging types are suitable for use to freeze the food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil, plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-resistant storage containers with caps.
The use of the following types of packaging is not recommended to ;freeze the food Packaging paper, parchment paper, cellophane (gelatin paper), garbage bag, used bags and shopping .bags

• Hot foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without cooling.

• When placing unfrozen fresh foods in the freezer compartment, please note that it does not contact with frozen foods. Cool-pack (PCM)
  (if any) can be placed to the rack immediately below the quick freezer rack for preventing them from being getting warm.

• During the freezing time (24 hours) do not place other food to the freezer.

• Place your foods to the freezing shelves or racks by spreading them so that they will not be cramped (it is recommended that the packaging does not come into contact with each other).

• Frozen foods must be immediately consumed in a short period of time after defrosting and must never be frozen again.

• We recommend you to attach a label onto the package and write the name of the foods in the package and the freezing time.
  Foods suitable for freezing:

• Fish and seafood, red and white meat, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbaceous spices, dairy products (such as cheese, butter and strained yoghurt), pastries, ready or cooked meals, potato dishes, souffle and desserts. Foods not suitable for freezing:

• Yoghurt, sour milk, cream, mayonnaise, leaved salad, red radish, grapes, all fruits (such as apple, pears and peaches).

• For foods to be frozen quickly and thoroughly, the following specified amounts per package should not be exceeded.

• Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg

• Meat, 1-1.5 kg

• A small amount of foods (maximum 2 kg) can also be frozen without the use of the quick-freezing function.

To obtain the best result, apply the following instructions:

1.  Switch the adjusting knob to MAX or 4 positions 24 hours before placing your fresh foods to freeze.
2. 24 hours after turning the thermostat knob, place the food that you want to freeze to the front of top drawer with higher freezing capacity. If you have food remained, place them to the sides of the middle section.
3.  Do not forget to turn the thermostat knob to its previous position, after placing your food.
4.  Do not try to freeze a large quantity of food at a time. Within 24 hours, this product can freeze the maximum food quantity specified as «Freezing Capacity … kg/24 hours» on its type label. It is not convenient to put more unfrozen/fresh foods to the freezer compartment than the quantity specified on the label.
   • You can review the Meat and Fish, Vegetables and Fruits, Dairy Products tables for placing and storing your foods in the deep freezer

Recommendations for Preservation of Frozen Foods

• While purchasing your frozen foods, make sure that they are frozen at appropriate temperatures and their packages are not broken.
• Put the packages on the freezer compartment as soon as possible after purchasing them.
• Make sure that the expiration date indicated on the packaging is not expired before consuming the packaged ready meals that you remove from the freezer compartment.

Deep Freezer Information
The EN 62552 standard requires (according to specific measurement conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of food for each 100 liter of freezer compartment volume can be frozen
at a room temperature of 25°C in 24 hours.

Defrosting the frozen foods
Depending on the food diversity and the purpose of use, a selection can be made between the following options for defrosting:

• At room temperature (it is not very suitable to defrost the food by leaving it at room temperature for a long time in terms of maintaining the food quality)
• In the refrigerator
• In the electrical oven (in models with or without fan)
•  In the microwave oven

CAUTION:

• Never put acidic beverages in glass bottles and cans into your freezer due to the risk of explosion.
• If there is moisture and abnormal swelling in the packaging of frozen foods, it is likely that they were previously stored in an improper storage condition and their contents deteriorated. Do not consume these foods without checking.
• Since some spices in cooked meals may change their taste when exposed to long-term storage conditions, your frozen foods should be less seasoned or the desired spices should be added to the foods after the thawing process.

Recommended Temperature Settings
