ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated
room far away from any heat source (e.g.
radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed
directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating
plate.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation follow
installation instructions.
• Insufficient ventilation on back of the product
increases energy consumption and decreases
cooling efficiency.
• The internal temperatures of the appliance may
be affected by the ambient temperature,
frequency of door opening, as well as location of
the appliance. Temperature setting should take
into consideration these factors.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down
before placing in the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the fan (if available) with food
items.
• After placing the food check if the door of
compartments closes properly, especially the
freezer door.
• Reduce to a minimum door opening.
• When thawing frozen food, place them in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the refrigerator.
• Appliances could have special compartments
(Fresh Food Compartment, Zero Degree
Box,...). In case not differently specified in the
specific booklet of product, they can be
removed, maintaining equivalent performances.
• Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has
no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food
should be placed on the shelves in such way to
ensure proper air circulation (food should not
touch each other and distance between food and
rear wall should be kept).
• You can increase storage capacity of frozen food
by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost
shelve, maintaining an equivalent energy
consumption.
• Damaged gasket must be replaced as soon as
possible.
• High energy class products are fitted with
highefficiency motors that remain operational for
longer, but have a low power consumption. Do
not worry if the engine continues to run for
longer periods.
• "Night sensor" and "Screensaver" in active mode
and "Door Handle LEDs" in OFF position will
lead to energy saving.

BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE
General information about new NO FROST technology
New No-Frost fridges differ from other static fridges in their operating principle.
In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge in the door openings and the humidity of the food
causes freezing in the freezer compartment.
To defrost the snow and ice in the freezer department, you should turn off the fridge, take the food that
needs to be kept in a constant temperature off the fridge, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer
department periodically.
The situation in the freezer compartment is completely different in no-frost fridges.
Dry and cool air is blown through the freezer compartments via fan.
Cold air dispersed homogeneously between the shelves cools all your food equally and uniformly, thus
prevents humidity and freezing.
The freezer compartment is cooled by statically. The air is distributed homogeneously between the racks
in the cooling section with the fan, and all your foods can be cooled evenly and properly.
As there is no air passage between the sections, the smells on the 3 different parts of your refrigerator do
not mix.
Therefore your New No-Frost fridge allows you ease of use, besides its huge volume and stylish
appearance.

Cooler Compartment
• Under normal operation conditions, it is enough to set the temperature of cooler compartment
to +4 / +6 °C.
• In order to avoid frosting, humidification and odour, food should be placed to the fridge in closed
containers or covered with appropriate material.
• Hot food and beverages should be cooled to room temperature before being placed in the fridge.
• Vegetables and fruits can be placed into crisper by packaging with clean and if possible, spongy plastic
bags.
• Storing fruits and vegetables seperately helps ethylene sensitive vegetables (green leafy, broccoli, carrot
etc.) not to affect ethylene releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.)
• You should not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food produces depends on food initial quality and uninterrupted refrigeration cycle
before refrigerator storage.
• You should not store meat products and fruits&vegetables in the same places not to contaminate.
Water leaking in meat can be contamination in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and
clean leakages on the shelves.
• You should not put food in front of air flow passage.
• Storage time for all food produces depends on food initial quality and uninterrupted refrigeration cycle
before refrigerator storage.
• You should consume packaged foods until expire date.
Important Note:
• Cover the liquid and stews when you put them on fridge. Otherwise, the humidity amount inside the
fridge increases. And, this causes the fridge to operate more. Covering the food and beverages also
allow you to protect their taste and flavour.
• Potatoes, onion and garlic shouldn’t be kept in the fridge. Some suggestions on the placing and storing
of your food in the fridge compartment are supplied below.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• The freezer compartment is used for storing frozen foods for a long time or for producing ice.
• If you leave the door of freezer open for a long time, frosting will appear on the lower stage of freezer.
Thus, air circulation will be obstructed. In order to avoid this, first unplug the cord and wait until thawed.
After ice melts, you should clean the freezer.
• You can take off baskets, cover, etc. to increase storing volume of freezer.
• Volume specified on the product label shows the value without baskets, covers, etc.
IMPORTANT
Please never refreeze frozen food after thawing them.
It may be hazardous to your health as it may lead to food poisoning.
• Do not place hot food to the freezer before cooling them. This may cause other frozen food in the
freezer to get decayed.
• When buying frozen food, make sure that it was frozen under appropriate conditions and its package is
not torn.
• In case of humidification on package of frozen food and a smelly odour, food may have been stored under
inappropriate conditions beforehand and it may have gotten decayed. Do not buy those kinds of food.
• Storing time for frozen food may differ according to the ambient temperature, frequency of door
openings, thermostat adjustments, type of food and the time between the buying of the food and placing
of the food in the freezer. Always follow instructions on the package and do not exceed storing period.
• Note: If frozen food taken out of freezer of refrigerator is placed into bottom compartment one day
before, it promotes refrigerator by preserving its temperature there, so energy will be saved. If you put
the material in the deep freeze to an open area, energy loss occurs.
Some spices in cooked food (aniseed, basil, dill, vinegar, spice mix, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme,
marjoram, black pepper, bologna sausage etc.) may have a foul taste when stored for a long time. Therefore,
frozen food should be spiced just a little or spice should be added after the food is thawed.
The storing time for the food depends on the oil used. Margarines, veal fat, olive oil and butter are suitable,
peanut oil and lard are not suitable.
Cooked food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic containers, other food should be frozen wrapped in
plastic foil or in plastic bags.
Some suggestions on the placing and storing of your food in the freezer compartment are supplied on the
following pages.
Icebox
• Remove the icebox by grasping its front side.
• Fill ¾ of icebox with water and insert it.
• You can take ice after 2 hours approximately. You can
service by extracting icebox.
Note: When placing the icebox after filling with water, make
sure that you position it horizontally without tilting. Otherwise,
water inside icebox may pour on the basket.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Make sure to unplug the fridge before starting to clean it.
• Do not wash your fridge by pouring water.
• You can wipe the inner and outer sides of your appliance with a soft cloth or a sponge using warm and
soapy water.
• Remove the parts individually and clean with soapy water. Do not wash in washing machine.
• Never use flammable, explosive or corrosive material like thinner, gas, acid for cleaning.
• The condenser (the back part with black wings) should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or a dry
brush at least once a year. This will help your freezer to operate more efficiently and will enable you to
save energy.
Cleaning evaporation bowl
• Your fridge defrosts automatically. Water produced by defrosting flows to evaporating container passing
through water collecting groove, and vaporizes here by itself.

Check Warnings;
If your fridge is not operating;
• Is there any electrical faults?
• Is your appliance plugged?
• Is the fuse of the receptacle that the plug is plugged or the main fuse blown?
• Is there any fault in the socket? Examine this by plugging your fridge into a socket outlet which you are
sure that is working.
If your fridge is operating too loudly
Normal Noises;
Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• 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/off.
Valve sound: Ticking sound is normal when your refrigerator runs. This sound is released from a valve
behind your refrigerator.
Vacuuming sound: After your refrigerator’s doors are opened and closed, a short sound may be heard
due to pressure difference. That is normal exactly.
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 No-Frost fridge during normal operation of
the system due to the circulation of air.
If humidity builds up inside the fridge;
• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?
• Are the fridge doors opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the doors are
opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the
humidity of the room is high.
If the doors are 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:
• After sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, Thermal protector will cut off the
power of compressor temporarily because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized yet. Your
fridge will start after 4 or 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. After defrosting, clean
your fridge and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult to the nearest
Authorized Service.
• The appliance you bought is designed for home type use and can be used only at home and for the
stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer use the appliance in
a way that does not comply with these features, we emphasize that the producer and the dealer shall
