Using your refrigerator

Thermostat setting button
The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;
• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator without
cooling down to the room temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in the
room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
• You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons by
using the thermostat.
Operating temperatures are controlled by
the thermostat knob and may be set at
any position between 0 and 5 (the
coldest position).
The average temperature inside the
fridge should be around +5°C (+41°F).
Therefore adjust the thermostat to obtain
the desired temperature. Some sections
of the fridge may be cooler or warmer
(such as salad crisper and top part of the
cabinet) which is quite normal. We
recommend that you check the
temperature periodically with a
thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is
kept to this temperature. Frequent door
openings cause internal temperatures to
rise, so it is advisable to close the door
as soon as possible after use.
Defrost
A) Fridge compartment
Fridge compartment performs full-
automatic defrosting. Water drops and a
frosting up to 7-8 mm can occur on the
inner rear wall of the fridge compartment
while your refrigerator cools down. Such
formation is normal as a result of the
cooling system. The frost formation
is defrosted by performing automatic
defrosting with certain intervals thanks to
the automatic defrosting system of the
rear wall. User is not required to scrape
the frost or remove the water drops
Water resulting from the defrosting
passes from the water collection groove
and flows into the evaporator through the
drain pipe and .evaporates here by itself.
Check regularly to see if the drain pipe is
clogged or not and clear it with the stick
in the hole when necessary
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order to
prevent decaying of the frozen food.
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and
without mess, thanks to a special defrost
collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer
of around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To
start the defrosting procedure, switch off
the appliance at the socket outlet and
pull out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a cool
place (e.g.) fridge or larder.
Containers of warm water may be placed
carefully in the freezer to speed up the
defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hair dryers, electrical heaters
or other such electrical appliances for
defrosting.
