Prior to startup

Before you begin operating your device, the following points should be re-checked for safety:

• Is the device standing properly on the floor?

• Is there sufficient space for good air circulation?

• Is the interior clean? (Also see the section

“Cleaning and care”)

• Set the thermostat knob half way between

1 and 5 or Min. and Max.

• Now connect the device to the mains.

The compressor is turned on; the interior light comes on when the door is opened.

Do not place foodstuff into the refrigerator until the temperature has reached the desired level.

Setting the operating temperature

(Fig. 2)

The operating temperature is regulated by the temperature control.

1 = Lowest cooling setting (Warmest setting)

5 = Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting)

(Or)

Min. = Lowest cooling setting

(Warmest setting)

Max. = Highest cooling setting

(Coldest setting)

The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C.

Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature.

You can stop operation of your device by adjusting the thermostat knob to “0” position.

Please note that there will be different temperatures in the cooling area.

The coldest region is immediately above the vegetable compartment.

The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of foods 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.

Cooling

Food storage

The fridge compartment is for the short-term storage of fresh food and drinks.

Store milk products in the intended compartment in the refrigerator.

Bottles can be stored in the bottle holder or in the bottle shelf of the door.

Raw meat is best kept in a polyethylene bag in the compartment at the very bottom of the refrigerator.

Allow hot foods and beverages to cool to room temperature prior to placing them in the refrigerator.

Defrosting of the device

The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.

The thawing water flows through the drain channel into a collection container at the rear of the device (Fig. 5).

During defrosting, water droplets form at the back of the fridge due to the evaporator.

If not all of the drops run down, they may freeze again after defrosting remove them with a cloth soaked in warm water, but never with a hard or sharp object.

Check the flow of the thawed water from time to time.It may become plugged occasionally.

Clean it with a q-tip or similar (see the section

"Cleaning and care").

Attention

Store concentrated alcohol only standing upright and tightly closed.

Attention

Do not store explosive substances or containers with flammable propellant gases

(canned cream, spray cans etc.) in the device.

There is a danger of explosion.

Freezing

Freezing food

The freezing area is marked with this symbol.

You can use the device for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food

Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.

Attention

Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the freezing liquid may burst the bottle.

Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h. See Technical Features leaflet.

In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.

Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.

Attention

Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food.

When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.

You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.

Defrosting of the device

The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.

Warnings!

The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air.

Never insert any object through the guard.

Do not allow children to play with the freezer fan.

Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas

(e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.

Don’t cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.

Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance.

Normal operating noises

Various functional noises are completely normal due to the operation of the cooling system of your appliance;

• Gurgling, hissing, boiling or bubbling noises are caused by the refrigerant, circulating inside the cooling system. These noises can still be heard for a short period of time after the compressor shuts off.

• Sudden, sharp cracking or popping noises are caused by the expansion and contraction of the inside walls or some components inside the cabinets.

• Buzzing, whirring, pulsating or high-pitched humming noises are caused by the compressor. These noises are slightly louder at the start-up of the compressor and reduce when the appliance reaches the operating temperatures.

Also to avoid disturbing vibrations and noises make sure that;

• Your refrigerator is standing level on all four feet.

• Your refrigerator is not in contact with the walls, surrounding objects or kitchen cabinets and furniture.

• Cans, bottles or dishes inside the refrigerator are not touching and rattling against each other.

• All shelves and bins are mounted correctly inside the refrigerator cabinets and doors.
