[. . . ] 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. Temperature Settings Cooling compartment The thermostat ensures that the temperature settings in the cooling and freezing compartments of your refrigerator are controlled automatically. It may be set to any value ranging from 1 to 6. As you turn the thermostat setting knob from 1 to 6, the amount of cooling increases. Thermostat knob Cooling compartment thermostat knob: 5 - 6 : For more cooling. EN - 6 - Warnings for Temperature Settings • It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C in terms of its efficiency. • The thermostat setting should be done by taking into consideration how often the fresh food and freezer doors are opened and closed, how much food is stored in the refrigerator, and the environment in which the refrigerator is located. • Your fridge should be operated up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature without interruption after being plugged in to be completely cooled.

Do not wash in washing machine. • Never use flammable, explosive or corrosive material like thinner, gas, acid for cleaning. • You should clean the condenser with broom at least once a year in order to provide energy saving and increase the productivity. Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning. EN - 12 - Defrosting • Your refrigerator performs fully automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporization container behind your refrigerator and evaporates by itself in there. [. . . ] • 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 closed: • Are food packages preventing the doors from being closed?• Have the door compartments, shelves and drawers properly placed?• Are the door seals defective or torn?
