sideways through the door.
1. Install your freezer to a place
that allows ease of use.
2. Keep your freezer away from
heat sources, humid places and direct
sunlight.
3. There must be appropriate
air ventilation around your freezer
in order to achieve an efficient
operation. If the freezer is to be
placed in a recess in the wall, there
must be at least 5 cm distance with
the ceiling and at least 5 cm with the
wall. Do not place your product on the
materials such as rug or carpet.

4 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 -1C.
Operating your refrigerator under
colder conditions than this is not
recommended.
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
transportations 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 change as
a result of opening/closing the
product door during operation,
condensation on the door/body
shelves and the glass containers is
normal.
Since hot and humid air will not
directly penetrate into your product
when the doors are not opened,
your product will optimize itself
in conditions sufficient to protect
your food. In this energy saving
function, functions and components
such as compressor, fan, heater,
defrost, lighting, display and so on
will operate according to the needs
to consume minimum energy while
maintaining the freshness of your
foodstuff.
(h) for a freestanding appliance;
‘this refrigerating appliance is not
intended to be used as a built-in
appliance’ .

Hints and Tips
Hints for energy saving
Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration
with the drawers in the bottom
part of the appliance and shelves
evenly distributed. Position of the
door bins does not affect energy
consumption.
Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than necessary.
Do not set too high temperature to
save energy unless it is required by
the characteristics of the food.
If the ambient temperature is high
and the temperature control is set to
low temperature and the appliance
is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this
case, set the temperature control
toward higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and to save
energy this way.
Ensure a good ventilation. Do not
cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
Good temperature setting that
ensures preservation of fresh food
is a temperature less than or equal
to +4°C.
Higher temperature setting inside
the appliance may lead to shorter
shelf life of food.
Cover the food with packaging to
preserve its freshness and aroma.
Always use closed containers for
liquids and for food, to avoid flavours
or odours in the compartment.
To avoid the cross-contamination
between cooked and raw food, cover
the cooked food and separate it
from the raw one.
It is recommended to defrost the
food inside the fridge.
Do not insert hot food inside the
appliance. Make sure it has cooled
down at room temperature before
inserting it.
To prevent food waste the new
stock of food should always be
placed behind the old one.
Hints for food refrigeration
Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Store meat for at most 1 -2 days.

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) 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.
Do not block the ventilation holes by
putting your frozen foods in front of
the ventilation holes located on the
back surface.
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.
background
EN
18
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. Activate the quick freezing
function 24 hours before placing your
fresh foods.
2. After 24 hours after pressing
the button, first place your food that
you want to freeze to the top shelf
with higher freezing capacity. If you
have food that you have previously
stored, store your fresh foods starting
from the back towards the front.
3. The quick freezing function will
be automatically inactivated after 25
hours.
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.
Defrosting
The ice in the freezer compartments
is automatically thawed.
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
background
EN
19
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.

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.

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.
