fast freeze comes to the desired temperature and the
orange LED will turn off.
Green LED ( ):Lights up continuously after plugging
D
in your refrigerator.
Red LED ( ):It warns you by lighting up continuously
when your refrigerators start to operates, if not
enough cooling effect is obtained, when the door
remains open for a long time and when excessive food
is loaded.
When the appliance is plugged in, after first 60 hours,
the red light may lights up. This means, the appliance
could not reach the expected cooling effect still. When
the expected cooling effect is achieved, the led lights
off.
If the red LED lights up continuously when the condi-
tions stated in the adjacent column do not exist, then
call our Authorized Service.
Setting the operating temperature
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 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.
The normal storage temperature of your appliance
should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower temperatures can be
obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards .
We recommend checking the temperature with a
thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments
are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to
take the reading immediately since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it
from the freezer.
Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing compartment is marked with
symbol.
You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as
well as for storing pre-frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations given on the
packaging of your food.
A Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst
when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-
cubes.Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.
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.
A 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.
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.
Frozen food may be kept in the compartments
•
with drawers.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen
food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained
the following should be remembered:
Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after
1.
purchase.
Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the
2.
packaging.
Please note that drawers, baskets, flaps, trays are all
3.
removable.
Defrost
Increase in the thickness of the ice that forms on
the evaporator of your refrigerator will decrease the
cooling efficiency of it.
Therefore, you must defrost the ice when the thickness
of the ice layer around the evaporator reaches to
approximately 5 mm. It is recommended to defrost
the ice when the refrigerator is not filled too much or
is empty.
Wrap the food in the refrigerator by a few sheets of
paper and keep them in the coolest place possible or in
another refrigerator.
Turn the thermostat setting button to "off" or unplug
the power cable in order to perform the defrosting.
Remove the drawers of your refrigerator (it is not
required to remove the lid of the compartment
equipped with a lid). After some time, the water that
melts will accumulate in the pool located at the bottom
of your refrigerator.
Remove the accumulating water by means of a soft
sponge or etc. and dry the pool thoroughly.
Do not forget to turn the thermostat setting button to
a position other than the "off" in order to restart your
refrigerator.
Operate your refrigerator for 2 hours while it is empty
and its doors are closed before replacing your food into
it.
