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

as a result of the cooling system.

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).
Containers of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hair dryers, electrical
heaters or other such electrical
appliances for defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water
collected in the bottom of the freezer
compartment. After defrosting, dry the
interior thoroughly.
Insert the plug into the wall socket and
switch on the electricity supply.

6 Recommended solutions for the problems
Please review this list before calling the service. It might save you time and
money. This list includes frequent complaints that are not arising from defective
workmanship or material usage. Some of the features described here may not
exist in your product.
The refrigerator does not operate
• Is the refrigerator properly plugged in? Insert the plug to the wall socket.
• Is the fuse of the socket which your refrigerator is connected to or the main fuse
blown out? Check the fuse.
Condensation on the side wall of the fridge compartment. (MULTI ZONE, COOL
CONTROL ve FLEXI ZONE)
• Very cold ambient conditions. Frequent opening and closing of the door. Highly
humid ambient conditions. Storage of food containing liquid in open containers.
Leaving the door ajar.
• Switching the thermostat to a colder degree.
• Decreasing the time the door left open or using it less frequently.
• Covering the food stored in open containers with a suitable material.
• Wipe the condensation using a dry cloth and check if it persists.
Compressor is not running
• Protective thermic of the compressor will blow out during sudden power failures or
plug-out plug-ins as the refrigerant pressure in the cooling system of the refrigerator
has not been balanced yet.
• Your refrigerator will start running approximately after 6 minutes. Please call the
service if your refrigerator does not startup at the end of this period.
• The fridge is in defrost cycle. This is normal for a full-automatically defrosting
refrigerator. Defrosting cycle occurs periodically.
• Your refrigerator is not plugged into the socket. Make sure that he plug is inserted
tightly to the wall socket.
• Are the temperature adjustments correctly made? There is a power failure. Call
your electricity supplier.
15
EN
The fridge is running frequently or for a long time.
• Your new refrigerator may be wider than the previous one. This is quite normal.
Large refrigerators operate for a longer period of time.
• The ambient room temperature may be high.This is quite normal.
• The refrigerator might have been plugged in recently or might have been loaded
with food. Cooling down of the refrigerator completely may last for a couple of
hours longer.
• Large amounts of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Hot
food causes longer running of the refrigerator until they reach the safe storage
temperature.
• Doors might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time. The warm
air that has entered into the refrigerator causes the refrigerator to run for longer
periods. Open the doors less frequently.
• Freezer or fridge compartment door might have been left ajar. Check if the doors
are tightly closed.
• The refrigerator is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the refrigerator
temperature to a warmer degree and wait until the temperature is achieved.
• Door seal of the fridge or freezer may be soiled, worn out, broken or not properly
seated. Clean or replace the seal. Damaged/broken seal causes the refrigerator to
run for a longer period of time in order to maintain the current temperature.
Freezer temperature is very low while the fridge temperature is sufficient.
• The freezer temperature is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the freezer
temperature to a warmer degree and check.
Fridge temperature is very low while the freezer temperature is sufficient.
• The fridge temperature is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the fridge
temperature to a warmer degree and check.
Food kept in the fridge compartment drawers are freezing.
• The fridge temperature is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the fridge
temperature to a warmer degree and check.
16
EN
Temperature in the fridge or freezer is very high.
• The fridge temperature is adjusted to a very high degree. Fridge adjustment has an
effect on the temperature of the freezer. Change the temperature of the fridge or
freezer until the fridge or freezer temperature reaches to a sufficient level.
• The door might be left ajar. Close the door completely.
• Large amounts of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Wait
until the fridge or freezer reaches the desired temperature.
• Refrigerator might have been plugged in recently. Cooling down of the refrigerator
completely takes time because of the size.
Noise similar to the sound of seconds heard from an analog clock is coming from
the refrigerator.
• This noise is coming from the solenoid valve of the refrigerator. Solenoid valve
functions for the purpose of ensuring coolant passage through the compartment
which can be adjusted to cooling or freezing temperatures, and performing cooling
functions. This is normal and is not fault cause.
The operation noise increases when the refrigerator is running.
• The operating performance characteristics o f the refrigerator may change
according to the changes in the ambient temperature. It is normal and not a fault.
Vibrations or noise.
• The floor is not even or it is weak. The refrigerator rocks when moved slowly. Make
sure that the floor is level, strong and capable to carry the refrigerator.
• The noise may be caused by the items put onto the refrigerator. Such items should
be removed from the top of the refrigerator.
There are noises like liquid spilling or spraying.
• Liquid and gas flows happen in accordance with the operating principles of your
refrigerator. It is normal and not a fault.
There is a noise like wind blowing.
• Air activators (fans) are used in order to allow the refrigerator to cool efficiently. It is
normal and not a fault.
Condensation on the inner walls of refrigerator.
• Hot and humid weather increases icing and condensation. It is normal and not a
fault.
• The doors are ajar. Make sure that the doors are closed completely.
• Doors might have been opened very frequently or they might have been left open
for along time. Open the door less frequently.
Humidity occurs on the outside of the refrigerator or between the doors.
• The weather may be humid. This is quite normal in humid weather. When the
humidity is less, condensation will disappear.
