Some useful information and advice

The variable shelves are worth paying attention to,
which increases the usefulness of the fresh food

compartment considerably. Rearranging the shelves is
also possible when the door is open at an angle of 90°.

The inside configuration of the door makes rearranging
the door shelves as required possible.

Hints and ideas

In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about
how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy
saving and there is environmental information about the
appliance as well.

How to save energy

The colder the ambient temperature of the
appliance is the less energy it uses.

Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near
anything that gives off heat.

Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are
well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where
ventilation is.

Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to
avoid building up unnecessary frost.

Do not leave the door open longer than necessary
and avoid unnecessary openings.

Put foods into the appliance only in a closed dish.

Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are
at room temperature.

Keep the condenser clean at the back of the
appliance.

The appliance and environment

This appliance does not contain gasses which could
damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or
insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded
together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid
damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the
heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites
may be obtained from your municipal authorities.

The materials used on this appliance marked with the
sympol are 

recyclable.

Maintenance

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form
of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator.

Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces
cooling efficiency as the temperature increases and it
needs more energy.

At this type of appliance defrosting cooling compartment
is automatic without any external intervention.

The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of
compressor at regular intervals for more or less time -
during this cooling is interrupted - temperature of the
cooling compartment increases and defrosting occurs.

After defrosting the thermostatic control restarts
operation of the system.

Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into the
evaporative tray maintained on the top of compressor and
evaporates due to warmth of it.

Check and clean the outlet of melting water
coming during defrosting regularly. If it is

clogged the melting water gathered can cause
earlier failure as it can go to the insulating of the
appliance.

Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe scraper
has to be stored in the outlet.

Occasionally check the defrost water outlet not to be
clogged up.

The most typical case of clogging up in the defrost water
outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the
appliance and this paper contacts back plate of cooling
compartment and freezes to it. If you remove the food
right at this moment the paper will tear and it can cause
clogging up in the outlet by getting into it. So you are
asked to be careful - because of the above - when
placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance.

In case of increased demand e.g. during
heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens to

operate constantly - during this the automatic defrosting
is ineffective.

Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of the
cooling compartment after defrosting period is not
abnormal.

Regular cleaning

It is recommended to wash the inside of the refrigerator
in 3-4 weeks time. 

Household cleaner or soap must not be used.

After you made it no-current wash the appliance using
lukewarm water and wipe it.

Clean the magnet door rubber profile with clean water.

After cleaning plug the appliance to the mains socket.

Dust and dirt collected on the back of the refrigerator,
condenser is recommended to be removed and clean
the evaporative tray on top of the compressor once or
twice a year.
