Things to be done
for energy saving
A
Connecting the product to electric
energy saving systems is risky as it
may cause damage to the product.
• Do not leave the doors of your
refrigerator open for a long time.
• Do not put hot food or drinks in your
refrigerator.
• Do not overload the refrigerator,
cooling capacity will fall when the air
circulation inside is hindered.
• In order to store maximum amount
of food in the freezer compartment,
the icematic, available in the freezer
compartment and easily removable
by hand, should be taken out. Net
volume and energy consumption
values declared on the power
data plate of your refrigerator are
measured and tested by removing the
icematic. Do not remove the shelves
inside the freezer compartment and
on the door of freezer compartment.
They should always be used .They
provide ease of use and efficiency in
energy consumption.
• Airflow should not be blocked by
placing foods on the sides of the
freezer compartment fan. A minimum
distance of 3 cm (1.2") shall be
provided on the sides of protective
fan cover.
• The baskets/drawers that are
provided with the chill compartment
must always be in use for low energy
consumption and for better storage
conditions.
• Food contact with the temperature
sensor in the freezer compartment
may increase energy consumption of
the appliance. Thus any contact with
the sensor(s) must be avoided.
• Depending on the features of your
product, thawing frozen food in
fridge compartment will both provide
energy saving and preserve the food
quality.
• Do not allow contact of the food with
the fridge compartment temperature
sensor shown in the figure above.
4.2. Initial use
Before starting to use your refrigerator,
ensure that all preparations are made
in accordance with the instructions in
sections "Instructions for safety and
environment" and "Installation".
• Run the product without putting any
food for 6 hours and do not open its
door unless required.

You will hear a noise when the
compressor starts up. The liquids
and gases sealed within the
refrigeration system may also
give rise to noise, even if the
compressor is not running and this
is quite normal.
C
Front edges of the product may
feel warm. This is normal. These
areas are designed to be warm to
avoid condensation.
C
In some models, the instrument
panel automatically turns off
5 minutes after the door has
closed. It will be reactivated when
the door has opened or any key is
pressed.
