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. Numbers
around the thermostat button
indicates the cooling degrees.
• If the ambient temperature is higher
than 32°C, turn the thermostat
button to maximum position.
• If the ambient temperature is lower
than 25°C, turn the thermostat
button to minimum position.
Defrost
Fridge compartment performs full-
automatic defrosting. 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.
• Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order
to prevent decaying of the frozen
food.
• Frost formation in the freezer
compartment must be defrosted
every 6 months. It is recommended
to defrost the ice when the deep
freezer compartment is not filled too
much or is empty.
• To do this, wrap the frozen food
by paper and keep them in the
coolest place possible or in another
refrigerator if available.
• Stop your refrigerator by means of the
temperature setting button or unplug
the power cord from the outlet. You
can place a container filled with hot
water into the freezer compartment
or leave the door of the freezer
compartment open in order to hasten
the defrosting.
• Remove the water that accumulates
in the lower container of the freezer
compartment with an absorbent cloth
or sponge.
• Dry the freezer compartment
completely and return the
temperature setting button to its
previous position.
• Operate your refrigerator for 2 hours
while it is empty and its doors are
closed before replacing your food into
the deep freezer.
