4.1. What to do for
energy saving
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.
 In order to load the maximum quantity
of food into the cooler compartment
of your refrigerator, the upper drawers
should be taken out and the food
should be placed onto the wire/glass
shelves. Net volume and energy
consumption information declared in
the energy label of your refrigerator
was tested by taking out the upper
drawers in the cooler department
and the ice bucket, which is easily
removable by hand.
 Food packages should not be in direct
contact with the heat sensor located
in the cooler compartment. The food
should be 10 cm away from the sensor.
In case of contact with the sensor,
energy consumption of the device may
increase.

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 without
placing any food inside for 6 hours and
do not open the door, unless absolutely
necessary.
 The temperature change caused by
opening and closing of the door while
using the product may normally lead to
frost deposit, icing and condensation
on food placed on door/body shelves
and glass containers placed in the
product.

14 / 22 EN Refrigerator/User Manual
CA 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.
CIt is normal for the front edges
of the refrigerator to be warm.
These areas are designed to
warm up in order to prevent
condensation.
CFor some models, indicator
panel turns off automatically 1
minutes after the door closes.
It will be reactivated when the
door is open or any button is
pressed.
 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.

of odour. Pay attention to following
to avoid this problem:
 Keeping the refrigerator clean is
important. Food residuals, stains, etc.
can cause odour. Therefore, clean
the refrigerator with bi-carbonate
dissolved in water every few months.
Never use detergents or soap.
 Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from
uncovered containers can cause
unpleasant odours.
 Never keep the food that have
passed best before dates and spoiled
in the refrigerator.
6.2 Protecting the plas-
tic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals
in your refrigerator in unsealed contai-
ners as they damage the plastic surfaces
of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or sme-
ared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and
rinse the relevant part of the surface at
once with warm water.
