5 Using your refrigerator
Temperature 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. If the ambient
temperature is higher than 32°C, turn
the thermostat button to maximum
position.
Storing frozen food
• Frozen food can be stored up to 3
months in general in temperatures
under -18°C. Storage periods may
vary depending on the type of the
food. Storage periods of expiry
dates of such food are indicated
on the food package by their
manufacturers.
• Frozen food that you have
purchased should be placed in the
freezer before they thaw.
• Do not keep your refrigerator in
ambient temperatures under 5ºC.
EN
15
Defrosting of the appliance
• Excessive build-up of ice will affect
the freezing performance of your
appliance.
• It is therefore recommended that
you defrost your appliance at least
twice a year, or whenever the ice
build-up exceeds 7 mm.
• Defrost your appliance when there
is only little or no food in it.
• Take out the frozen food from the
drawers. Wrap the frozen food in
several layers of paper, or a blanket,
and keep it in a cold place.
• Unplug the appliance or switch
off the circuit breaker to start the
defrosting process.
• Take out the accessories (like shelf,
drawer etc.) from the appliance and
use a suitable container to collect
the thawing water.
• Use a sponge or a soft cloth to
remove thawing water if necessary.
• Keep the door open during
defrosting.
• For quicker defrosting, place
containers with warm water inside
the appliance.
• Never use electrical devices,
defrosting sprays or pointed or
sharp-edged objects such as knives
or forks to remove the ice.
• After the defrosting is done, clean
the inside (see the section ‘Cleaning
and care’).
• Reconnect the appliance to the
mains.

setting)
(Or)
Min. = Lowest cooling setting
(Warmest setting)
Max. = Highest cooling setting

Please choose the setting according
to the desired temperature.
The interior temperature also
depends on ambient temperature,
the frequency with which the door is
opened and the amount of food kept
inside.
Frequently opening the door causes
the interior temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended
to close the door again as soon as
possible after use.
The normal storage temperature
of your appliance should be -18 °C (0
°F). If the thermostat knob is turned
counter clockwise from position
1, the appliance will be switched
off and “click” sound will be heard.
Lower temperatures can be obtained
by adjusting the thermostat knob
towards Position 4.
We recommend checking the
temperature with a thermometer to
ensure that the storage compartments
are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember at take the reading
immediately since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after
you remove it from the freezer.
Thermostat is located on the rear wall
of the cabinet (See above diagram)
and controlled by the thermostat
knob.

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, 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
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 5 position 24 hours before
placing your fresh foods to freeze.
2. 24 hours after turning the
thermostat knob, place your food that
you want to freeze to the front of
bottom drawer with higher freezing
capacity. If you have food remained,
place it in front of the upper drawer.
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

6 Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your fridge at regular
intervals will extend the service life of
the product.
B WARNING:
Unplug the product before cleaning
it.
• Never use gasoline, benzene or
similar substances for cleaning
purposes.
• Never use any sharp and abrasive
tools, soap, household cleaners,
detergent and wax polish for
cleaning.
• For non-No Frost products,
water drops and frosting up to a
fingerbreadth occur on the rear wall
of the Fridge compartment. Do not
clean it; never apply oil or similar
agents on it.
• Only use slightly damp microfiber
cloths to clean the outer surface
of the product. Sponges and other
types of cleaning cloths may scratch
the surface
• Dissolve one teaspoon of bi-
carbonate in half litre of water. Soak
a cloth with the solution and wrung
it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of
the refrigerator with this cloth and
the dry thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters the
lamp housing and other electrical
items.
• If you will not use the refrigerator
for a long period of time, unplug it,
remove all food inside, clean it and
leave the door ajar.
• Check regularly that the door
gaskets are clean. If not, clean them.
• To remove door and body shelves,
remove all of its contents.
• Remove the door shelves by pulling
them up. After cleaning, slide them
from top to bottom to install.
• 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.
6.1 Avoiding bad odours
• Materials that may cause odour
are not used in the production of
our refrigerators. However, due
to inappropriate food preserving
conditions and not cleaning the
inner surface of the refrigerator as
required can bring forth the problem
of odour. Pay attention to following
to avoid this problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean is
important. Food residuals, stains,
etc. can cause odour. Therefore,
clean the refrigerator with bi-
carbonate dissolved in water every
few months. Never use detergents
or soap.
• Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from
uncovered containers can cause
unpleasant odours.
• Never keep the food that have
passed best before dates and
spoiled in the refrigerator.
6.2 Protecting the plastic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked
meals in your refrigerator in unsealed
containers as they damage the plastic
surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is
spilled or smeared onto the plastic
surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant
part of the surface at once with warm
water.
