 Your refrigerator 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.
 The ambient temperature of the room
where you install your refrigerator
should at least be -15°C. Operating your
refrigerator under colder conditions
than this is not recommended.
 Please make sure that the interior of
your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.
 If two refrigerators are to be installed
side by side, there should be at least 2
cm distance between them.
 When you operate your refrigerator
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the initial
six hours.
 The door should not be opened
frequently.
 It must be operated empty without any
food in it.
 Do not unplug your refrigerator. If
a power failure occurs out of your
control, please see the warnings in
the “Recommended solutions for the
problems” section.
 Original packaging and foam
materials should be kept for future
transportations or moving.
 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.
 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. 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.

are not used in the production of
our refrigerators. However, due
to inappropriate food preserving
conditions and not cleaning the inner
surface of the refrigerator as required
can bring forth the problem 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.
