Chiller compartment
Crisper humidity control
sliders
If you wish to use the storage
container under the shelf as the Chiller
compartment, the storage container
under the shelf should be placed as
shown in the picture.
Crisper of your refrigerator is designed
specially to keep your vegetables freshly
without loosing their humidity. Cold air
circulates basically around the crisper
and the amount of the cold air passing
through the crisper is controlled by the
sliders on the front side of the crisper
cover.
Chiller compartments enable the foods
to be frozen become ready for freezing.
You can also use these compartments to
store your food at a temperature a few
degrees below the fridge compartment.
You can adjust the humidity control
sliders to a suitable position according
to the humidity and cooling condition of
your food in the crisper.
You can increase the inner volume of
your refrigerator by removing any of
the chiller compartments. To do this,
pull the compartment towards yourself;
the compartment will lean against the
stopper and stop. This compartment will
be released when you lift it about 1 cm
and pull it towards yourself.
If you want your food in the crisper
to cool more, open the holes of the
humidity control sliders and if you want
them to cool less and keep their humidity
for a longer time, close the holes.

7 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 (MULTIZONE, COOL
CONTROL and 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 the 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 the plug is properly fit
into the socket.
•
•
Are the temperature adjustments correctly made?
Power might be cut off.
The fridge is running frequently or for a long time.
EN
24
•
Your new product 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.
