is harmful, as it may damage the
product.
For a freestanding appliance; 'this
•
refrigerating appliance is not intended tı
be used as a built-in appliance';.
Do not keep the refrigerator doors open
•
for long periods.
Do not place hot food or beverages into
•
the refrigerator.
Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking
•
the internal air flow will reduce cooling
capacity.
In order to store the maximum amount
•
of food into the cooler compartment of
your refrigerator, you should take out
the upper drawers and place it onto
the glass rack. The declared energy
consumption of your refrigerator was
determined by taking out the cooler, ice
tray and upper drawers in a way that
will enable maximum storage. Using the
below drawer when storing is strongly
recommended. Energy saving function
should be activated for best energy
consumption.
You should not block the airflow by
•
putting food in front of the cooler fan.
A space of minimum 3cm must be left
in front of the protective fan wire when
placing food.
Depending on the product's features;
•
defrosting frozen foods in the cooler
compartment will ensure energy saving
and preserve food quality.
Refrigerator / User Guide
Food should be stored using the drawers
•
in the cooler compartment in order to
ensure energy saving and protect food in
better conditions.
Food packages should not be in direct
•
contact with the heat sensor located
in the cooler compartment. If they are
in contact with the sensor, energy
consumption of the appliance might
increase.
Make sure the foods are not in
•
contact with the cooler compartment
temperature sensor described below.
Since hot and humid air will not directly
•
penetrate into your product when the
doors are not opened, your product will
optimize itself in conditions sufficient
to protect your food. Functions and
components such as compressor, fan,
heater, defrost, lighting, display and so
on will operate according to the needs to
consume minimum energy under these
circumstances.
5.2 First Use
Before using your refrigerator, make sure the
necessary preparations are made in line with
the instructions in "Safety and environment
instructions" and "Installation" sections.
Keep the product running with no food
•
inside for 6 and do not open the door,
unless absolutely necessary.
A sound will be heard when the
C
compressor is engaged. It is
normal to hear sound even when
the compressor is inactive, due
to the compressed liquids and
gasses in the cooling system.
Front edges of the product might
C
heat up. This is normal. These
areas are designed to warm up in
order to prevent condensation.
In some models indicator panel
C
turns off automatically 5 minutes
after the door closes. It will be
reactivated when the door is open
or any button is pressed.
