Recommendations
• While power cut, to prevent any compressor problem you should plug out the refrigerator.
You should delay plugging in 5 – 10 minutes after you power supply. If you plug out
the refrigerator for a reason you should wait at least 5 min to replug. It is important for
avoiding damage to refrigerator’s components.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or
icing may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor
in specified intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a defrosting operation
unless the icing is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), put the thermostat
to “•” position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open to prevent
humidity and smell.
• If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult
to the nearest Authorised Service.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only
at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use.

we emphasise that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair
and failure within the guarantee period.

period for retaining parts required for the proper functioning of the appliance) is 10 years.
Tips for saving energy
1– Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not near
heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc. ). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2– Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3–
When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of
the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is thawing. So it reduces
the energy requirements.
4– When placing, drinks and liquids they must be covered. Otherwise humidity increases at
the appliance. Therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and liquids helps
preserve the smell and taste.
5– When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briefly as possible.
6– Keep the covers closed of any different temperature compartment in the appliance (crisper,
chiller ...etc. ).
7–
Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
