5 Using your refrigerator
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).
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.
