USAGE INFORMATION Cooler and Freezer Thermostat Knob Temperature Settings Cooling compartment The thermostat ensures that the temperature settings in the cooling and freezing compartments of your refrigerator are controlled automatically. As you turn the thermostat setting knob from 1 to 6, the amount of cooling increases. 1 - 3 : For less cooling. 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 open doors of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period. • A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an energy breakdown occurs. • Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are out of the stated temperature intervals in terms of cooling efficiency. EN - 45 Climate Class T ST N SN Ambient 16 to 43 °C 16 to 38 °C 16 to 32 °C 10 to 32 °C CHAPTER 3. PLACING THE FOOD Cooling Compartment • To prevent humidification and odor formation, the food should be placed in the refrigerator in closed or covered containers. • Hot foods and drinks should be cooled to room temperatures before being placed in the refrigerator. • Please do not prop packaged food and containers against the lamp or cover of the cooling compartment. • Fruits and vegetables may be placed directly in the vegetable holder without being wrapped separately. • While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there are no instructions, the food has to be consumed in the shortest possible period of time. • Frozen food has to be transported before it thaws and it should be placed in the fast freezing shelf as soon as possible. • If the frozen food package has been humidified and it has a foul odor, the food might have previously been stored under unsuitable conditions and become spoiled. • The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the environmental temperatures, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food types, and the period of time that elapsed from when the food was acquired to the time it entered the freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the package and never exceed the storage duration. • During extended power outages, please do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. Your refrigerator will preserve your frozen food in the ambient environmental temperature of 25°C for about 13 hours. This preservation time period decreases the higher the ambient environmental temperatures are. [. . . ] This is normal. EN - 54 - If there is moisture on the inner parts of your refrigerator: • Has the food been properly packaged and sealed?Have the containers been well dried before they were put into the refrigerator?Once the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in the room enters the refrigerator. The more frequently the door is opened, the faster will be the humidification. [. . . ]
