4Preparation
 Your cooler/freezer should be installed
at least 30 cm away from heat sources
such as hobs, ovens, central heater
and stoves and at least 5 cm away
from electrical ovens and should not be
located under direct sunlight.
 Please make sure that the interior
of your cooler/freezer is cleaned
thoroughly.
 If two coolers are to be installed side
by side, there should be at least 2 cm
distance between them.
 When you operate your cooler/freezer
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the initial
six hours.
 Its door should not be opened
frequently.
 It must be operated empty without
placing any food in it.
 Do not unplug your cooler/freezer.
If a power failure occurs out of your
control, please see the warnings in
the “Recommended solutions for the
problems” section.
 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.
 This product has been designed to
function at ambient temperatures up to
43 °C (90 SDgrF). Even if the ambient
temperature falls to -15 °C, frozen food
in the freezer does not thaw thanks to
its Advanced Electronic Temperature
Control System. For the first installation,
the product should NOT be placed
under low ambient temperatures. This is
because the freezer cannot go down
to standard operation temperature.
When reaching continuous operation,
the product can be moved to another
place. Thus, later you can place your
product in the garage or an unheated
room without the concern of causing
frozen food to get rotten. However,
it is likely that above mentioned low
temperatures may cause the freezing
of the food in the fridge compartment;
thus, please consume the food items
in the fridge in a controlled way as
needed. When ambient temperature
goes back to normal, you may change
button setting according to your need.
 If the ambient temperature is below
0°C, the food in fridge compartment
will freeze. Therefore, we recommend
not using the fridge compartment
in such low ambient temperatures.
You may continue to use the freezer
compartment as usual.
 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 pressed on any key.
 Due to temperature change as a result
of opening/closing the product door
during operation, condensation on
the door/body shelves and the glass
containers is normal.
 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. In this
energy saving function, functions and
components such as compressor, fan,
heater, defrost, lighting, display and
so on will operate according to the
needs to consume minimum energy
while maintaining the freshness of your
foodstuff.

Turbo Cooling Fan
“Turbo cooling fan is designed to
ensure homogenous distribution and
circulation of the cold air inside your
refrigerator. Operation time of the
turbo cooling fan may vary depending
on the properties of your product.
While the turbo fan works only with
the compressor in some products,
the control system determines its
operation time in some products
in accordance with the cooling
requirement. This situation is explained
on a separate warning and information
label attached on the refrigerator in
products equipped with turbo fans
running under different conditions than
the compressor.”
