4.1. What to do for energy saving
mehmet
A
Connecting the product to electronic
energy-saving systems is harmful, as it
may damage the product.
For a freestanding appliance; 'this refrigerating
appliance is not intended to 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.
The energy consumption value specified for
the refrigerator was measured with the freezer
compartment's upper shelf removed, other
shelves and the lowest drawers in place and
under maximum load. The top glass shelf can
be used, depending on the shape and size of
food to be frozen.
Depending on the product's features;
defrosting frozen foods in the cooler
compartment will ensure energy saving and
preserve food quality.
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.
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.
Make sure the foods are not in contact with
the cooler compartment temperature sensor
described below.
4.2. 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 hours and do not open the door, unless
absolutely necessary.
C
A sound will be heard when the
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.
C
It is normal for the front edges of the
refrigerator to be warm. These areas are
designed to warm up in order to prevent
condensation.
C
In some models, the indicator panel
automatically turns off 5 minutes after
the door has closed. It will be reactivated
when the door has opened or pressed on
any key.
