Fix the accessories in the fridge during transportation to prevent damage to accessories. Installing and operating your fridge Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points: Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz. We do not take the responsibility for damage that may occur due to ungrounded usage. Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight. Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, Gas ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens. Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain. When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer surface. Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on the upper side. The adjustable front legs should be adjusted to make sure your appliance is level and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should be done before placing food in the fridge. Before using your fridge, wipe all inside surfaces and drawers with warm water added with a tea spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Put all the parts back into the fridge after cleaning. Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at the rear) by turning it 90 as shown in the figure to prevent the condenser from touching the wall. Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance not exceeding 75 mm. Before Using your Fridge-Freezer When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your fridge in the upright position for 3 hours before plugging it in. Otherwise, you may damage the compressor. Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool. EN - 5 -
Information on No-Frost technology No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators in their operating principle. In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to door openings and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the freezer department. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to turn off the fridge, place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer department. The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus preventing humidity and freezing. Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance. EN - 6 -

If the edges of the refrigerator cabinet contacted by the door seal are hot; Especially in summer months (in hot weather), there might be heating on the surfaces contacted by the seal on the refrigerator when the compressor is operating and this is quite normal. If there is humidification in the inner parts of your refrigerator; Has the food been properly packaged? Have the containers been well dried before they were put into the refrigerator? Are the doors of the refrigerator opened very frequently? When the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in the room enters the refrigerator. Especially if the humidity rate in the room is too high, the more frequently the door is opened the faster will be the humidification. It is normal to have water drops formed on the back wall following the automatic defrosting process. (In Static Models) If the doors are not being properly opened and closed: Are the food packages preventing the doors from being closed? Have the door compartments, shelves and drawers been properly placed? Have the door seals been defective or torn? Is your refrigerator standing on an even ground? EN - 23 -

Μην τοποθετείτε γυάλινα μπουκάλια ή μεταλλικά κουτιά αναψυκτικών στο θάλαμο κατάψυξης. Τα μπουκάλια ή τα μεταλλικά κουτιά μπορεί να εκραγούν. Για την ασφάλειά σας, μην τοποθετείτε μέσα στο ψυγείο σας εκρηκτικά ή εύφλεκτα υλικά. Τοποθετείτε τα ποτά με σχετικά υψηλό περιεχόμενο αλκοόλης σε όρθια θέση στο θάλαμο συντήρησης και με σφιχτά κλεισμένο το πώμα τους. Όταν αφαιρείτε πάγο από το θάλαμο κατάψυξης, μην τον αγγίζετε. Ο πάγος μπορεί να προκαλέσει κρυοπαγήματα και/ή αμυχές. Μην αγγίζετε τα παγωμένα προϊόντα με υγρά χέρια! Μην καταναλώνετε παγωτό και παγάκια αμέσως μόλις τα βγάλετε από το θάλαμο της κατάψυξης! Μην καταψύχετε εκ νέου τα κατεψυγμένα τρόφιμα αφού έχουν ξεπαγώσει. Αυτό μπορεί να προκαλέσει προβλήματα υγείας, όπως τροφική δηλητηρίαση. Μην καλύπτετε με δαντέλες τον κορμό ή το πάνω μέρος του ψυγείου. Αυτό επηρεάζει την απόδοση του ψυγείου σας. Στερεώστε τα αξεσουάρ μέσα στο ψυγείο κατά τη μεταφορά, για να αποφύγετε ζημιές σε αυτά. Εγκατάσταση και λειτουργία του ψυγείου σας Πριν αρχίσετε να χρησιμοποιείτε το ψυγείο σας, θα πρέπει να προσέξετε τα εξής σημεία: Η τάση λειτουργίας του ψυγείου σας είναι 220-240 V στα 50 Hz. Δεν αναλαμβάνουμε καμία ευθύνη για ζημιές που προκύπτουν λόγω χρήσης χωρίς γείωση. Τοποθετήστε το ψυγείο σας σε κατάλληλο σημείο όπου δεν θα είναι εκτεθειμένο σε άμεσο ηλιακό φως. Η συσκευή σας θα πρέπει να βρίσκεται τουλάχιστον 50 cm μακριά από σόμπες, φούρνους αερίου και σώματα θέρμανσης και τουλάχιστον 5 cm από ηλεκτρικούς φούρνους. Το ψυγείο σας δεν πρέπει ποτέ να χρησιμοποιηθεί σε υπαίθριο χώρο ή να εκτεθεί σε βροχή. Όταν το ψυγείο σας έχει τοποθετηθεί δίπλα σε συσκευή βαθιάς κατάψυξης, θα πρέπει να υπάρχουν τουλάχιστον 2 cm μεταξύ τους για να αποτραπεί σχηματισμός υγρασίας στην εξωτερική επιφάνεια. Μην τοποθετείτε τίποτα πάνω στο ψυγείο σας και εγκαταστήστε το ψυγείο σε κατάλληλη θέση ώστε να διατίθενται τουλάχιστον 15 cm ελεύθερου χώρου από την πάνω πλευρά. Τα ρυθμιζόμενα μπροστινά πόδια θα πρέπει να ρυθμιστούν ώστε να διασφαλιστεί ότι η συσκευή σας είναι οριζόντια και σταθερή. Μπορείτε να ρυθμίσετε τα πόδια περιστρέφοντάς τα δεξιόστροφα (ή στην αντίθετη κατεύθυνση). Αυτό θα πρέπει να γίνει πριν τοποθετηθούν τρόφιμα στο ψυγείο. Πριν χρησιμοποιήσετε το ψυγείο σας, σκουπίστε όλα τα εξαρτήματά του με χλιαρό νερό στο οποίο θα έχετε προσθέσει ένα κουταλάκι του γλυκού μαγειρική σόδα και κατόπιν ξεπλύνετέ τα με καθαρό νερό και σκουπίστε τα. Μετά τον καθαρισμό επανατοποθετήστε όλα τα εξαρτήματα. GR - 32 -
Τοποθετήστε τον πλαστικό ρυθμιστή απόστασης (το εξάρτημα με μαύρα πτερύγια στο πίσω μέρος) περιστρέφοντάς τον 90 όπως δείχνει η εικόνα, για να εμποδίσετε να έρχεται ο συμπυκνωτής σε επαφή με τον τοίχο. Τοψυγείο θα πρέπει να τοποθετηθεί σε τοίχο με ελεύθερη απόσταση που δεν υπερβαίνει τα 75 mm. Πριν χρησιμοποιήσετε το ψυγείο σας Όταν το ψυγείο χρησιμοποιείται για πρώτη φορά ή μετά από μεταφορά του, διατηρήστε το πρώτα στην όρθια θέση για 3 ώρες πριν το συνδέσετε στην πρίζα, ώστε να εξασφαλίσετε αποδοτική λειτουργία. Αλλιώς μπορεί να προξενήσετε ζημιά στο συμπιεστή. Το ψυγείο σας μπορεί να παρουσιάσει κάποια οσμή όταν χρησιμοποιηθεί για πρώτη φορά, αλλά αυτή θα φύγει σταδιακά καθώς αρχίζει να ψύχεται το ψυγείο. Σχετικά με την τεχνολογία No-Frost (χωρίς σχηματισμό πάγου) Τα ψυγεία No-frost (χωρίς σχηματισμό πάγου) διαφέρουν από άλλα στατικά ψυγεία ως προς την αρχή λειτουργίας τους. Στα κανονικά ψυγεία σχηματίζεται πάγος στο θάλαμο κατάψυξης, από την υγρασία που εισέρχεται στο ψυγείο λόγω ανοίγματος της πόρτας και λόγω της υγρασίας που περιέχεται στα τρόφιμα. Για την απομάκρυνση της πάχνης και του πάγου από το θάλαμο κατάψυξης περιοδικά απαιτείται να απενεργοποιείτε το ψυγείο, να τοποθετείτε σε χωριστό δροσερό χώρο τα τρόφιμα που χρειάζεται να παραμείνουν κατεψυγμένα και να αφαιρείτε τον πάγο που έχει συσσωρευτεί στο θάλαμο κατάψυξης. Στα ψυγεία no-frost (χωρίς σχηματισμό πάγου), η κατάσταση είναι διαφορετική. Ξηρός και ψυχρός αέρας διοχετεύεται στους θαλάμους συντήρησης και κατάψυξης με ομοιογένεια και ομοιομορφία από διάφορα σημεία, με τη βοήθεια ανεμιστήρα. Ο κρύος αέρας κατανέμεται ομοιόμορφα ανάμεσα στα ράφια και ψύχει εξ ίσου και ομοιόμορφα όλα τα τρόφιμα, εμποδίζοντας έτσι τη συσσώρευση και το πάγωμα της υγρασίας. Για το λόγο αυτό το ψυγείο No-frost (χωρίς σχηματισμό πάγου) σας προσφέρει ευκολία χρήσης, επιπλέον της τεράστιας χωρητικότητάς του και της στιλάτης εμφάνισής του. GR - 33 -
