 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 5°C. Operating your
refrigerator under cooler conditions is
not recommended with regard to its
efficiency.
 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.

6.1. Avoiding bad odours
Materials that may cause odour
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:
• Keepng the refrgerator clean s
mportant. Food resduals, stans, etc.
can cause odour. Therefore, clean
the refrgerator wth b-carbonate
dssolved n water every few months.
Never use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food n closed contaners.
Mcroorgansms spreadng out from
uncovered contaners can cause
unpleasant odours.
• Never keep the food that have passed
best before dates and spoled n the
refrgerator.
6.2. Protecting the
plastic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked
meals in your refrigerator in unsealed
containers as they damage the plastic
surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is
spilled or smeared onto the plastic
surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant
part of the surface at once with warm
water.
