4  Preparation
C Your freezer 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.
C  The ambient temperature of the room 
where you install your freezer should 
at least be 10°C. Operating your 
freezer under cooler conditions than 
this is not recommended with regard 
to its efficiency.
C  Please make sure that the interior of 
your freezer is cleaned thoroughly.
C  If two freezers are to be installed side 
by side, there should be at least 2 cm 
distance between them.
C  When you operate your freezer 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 freezer. If a 
power failure occurs out of your 
control, please see the warnings in 
the “Recommended solutions for 
the problems” section.

5  Using your freezer
Setting the operating 
temperature
The operating temperature is regulated 
by the temperature control.
W arm Cold
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 Position 4 (or Max.). 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 
 this 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.
  
						

							EN15
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: 1.  Put packets in the freezer as quickly 
as possible after purchase. 2.  Do  not  exceed  "Use  By",  "Best 
Before" dates on the packaging. 3.  Please note that drawers, baskets, 
flaps, trays are all removable.Defrost
Increase in the thickness of the ice that 
forms on the evaporator of your freezer 
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  freezer  is 
not filled too much or is empty.  Wrap the food in the freezer by a few 
sheets  of  paper  and  keep  them  in  the 
coolest  place  possible  or  in  another 
freezer. Turn  the  thermostat  setting  button  to 
“off” or unplug the power cable in order 
to perform the defrosting.  Remove  the  drawers  of  your  freezer 
(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 freezer.  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 freezer. Operate your freezer for 2 hours while 
it  is  empty  and  its  doors  are  closed 
before replacing your food into it.

LED indicators and control 
panel
LED  indicators  in  the  front  section  of 
your  freezer  are  intended  to  help  you 
in  monitoring  the  operation  of  your 
appliance.  Keep your food in the freezer in a safe 
manner  by  monitoring  and  using  these 
LEDs and controls as explained below: Fast  Freeze  Button  (1):  Used  to 
freeze the food fastly. Compressor may 
not operate immediately but after some 
time  when  the  button  is  pressed  and 
this is quite normal. Thermostat  Setting  Button  (2): 
Used  to  set  your  freezer  between 
minimum and maximum values.   The appliance may go to OFF position 
when the knob is adjusted below MIN. 
When  the  green  indicator  light  is  OFF, 
the appliance is turned OFF also.   Once  it  is  turned  OFF  (even  for 
defrosting),  please  adjust  the  knob 
somewhere  above  MIN  to  be  sure 
that  it  is  turned  ON  again.  When  the 
appliance  is  turned  ON,  the  green 
indicator will light up. Orange LED (3): Lights up when the 
fast  freeze  button  on  the  LED  panel 
is  pressed.  In  this  case,  your  freezer 
operates continuously. Press the button again when the food 
you  would  like  to  fast  freeze  comes  to 
the desired temperature and the orange 
LED will turn off. Green LED (4): Lights up continuously 
after plugging in your freezer. Red LED (5): It warns you by lighting 
up  continuously  when  your  freezers 
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.  If  the  red  LED  lights  up  continuously 
when  the  conditions  stated  in  the 
adjacent column do not exist, then call 
our Authorized Service.

7  Recommended solutions for the problems
Please  review  this  list  before  calling  the  service.  It  might  save  you  time  and 
money.  This  list  includes  frequent  complaints  that  are  not  arising  from  defective 
workmanship  or  material  usage.  Some  of  the  features  described  here  may  not 
exist in your product.
The freezer does not operate. 
•   Is the freezer properly plugged in? Insert the plug to the wall socket.
•   Is the fuse of the socket which your freezer is connected to or the main fuse 
blown out? Check the fuse.
Condensation on the side wall of the fridge compartment (MULTIZONE, COOL 
CONTROL and FLEXI ZONE).
•   Very cold ambient conditions. Frequent opening and closing of the door. Highly 
humid ambient conditions. Storage of food containing liquid in open containers. 
Leaving the door ajar. Switching the thermostat to a colder degree. 
•   Decreasing the time the door left open or using it less frequently.
•   Covering the food stored in open containers with a suitable material.
•   Wipe the condensation using a dry cloth and check if it persists.
Compressor is not running
•   Protective thermic of the compressor will blow out during sudden power failures 
or plug-out plug-ins as the refrigerant pressure in the cooling system of the 
freezer has not been balanced yet. Your freezer will start running approximately 
after 6 minutes. Please call the service if the freezer does not startup at the end of 
this period.
•   The fridge is in defrost cycle. This is normal for a full-automatically defrosting 
freezer. Defrosting cycle occurs periodically.
•   Your freezer is not plugged into the socket. Make sure that the plug is properly fit 
into the socket.
•   Are the temperature adjustments correctly made?
•   Power might be cut off.
  
						

							EN19
The fridge is running frequently or for a long time.
•   Your new product may be wider than the previous one. This is quite normal. 
Large freezers operate for a longer period of time.
•   The ambient room temperature may be high. This is quite normal.
•   The freezer might have been plugged in recently or might have been loaded 
with food. Cooling down of the freezer completely may last for a couple of hours 
longer.
•   Large amounts of hot food might have been put in the freezer recently. Hot 
food causes longer running of the freezer until they reach the safe storage 
temperature.
•   Doors might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time. The warm 
air that has entered into the freezer causes the freezer to run for longer periods. 
Open the doors less frequently.
•   Freezer or fridge compartment door might have been left ajar. Check if the doors 
are tightly closed.
•   The freezer is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the freezer temperature 
to a warmer degree and wait until the temperature is achieved.
•   Door seal of the fridge or freezer may be soiled, worn out, broken or not properly 
seated. Clean or replace the seal. Damaged/broken seal causes the freezer to 
run for a longer period of time in order to maintain the current temperature.
Freezer temperature is very low while the fridge temperature is sufficient.
•   The freezer temperature is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the freezer 
temperature to a warmer degree and check.
Fridge temperature is very low while the freezer temperature is sufficient.
•   The fridge temperature might have been adjusted to a very low temperature.
