GENERAL FEATURES OF THE CAFF41
1. When the doors are closed, please check if there are any gaps between door
gasket and the body. If there are any gaps, please contact Caple service
immediately.
2. When the freezer door is closed, a vacuum is formed. Do not force the door
open immediately. Please wait until the pressure has stabilized.
3. Air circulation of the fridge and freezer compartments are not mixed with other
compartments thanks to the frost-free technology. This technology stops odors
passing through compartments, and also allows vegetables to stay fresh for
longer.
4. The fan will often run independently even if the compressor is not running.
This maintains a better air circulation, and is energy efficient.
5. Hidden LEDs and hidden air holes give the refrigerator a more appealing
appearance.
6. Through a specific air flow design, fans give out cold air from multiple outlets
on all shelf levels, maintaining a more consistent temperature throughout.
7. The display edges and corners form a smooth surface against the door and
ensure a perfect appearance. Thanks to the touch control panel, temperature
controls can be adjusted easily.
8. The interior LED light turns on gradually instead of an sudden flash. The LEDs
lights up to 100% brightness within a few seconds after the door is opened.
9. Telescopic rails used in the chiller compartments ensures that the draw operates
easily and quietly.
10. The chiller draw is fitted with soft close runners to prevent the door from
slamming shut. This function eliminates the risk of the draw staying partially
open.
11. Finger print proof doors never leave finger prints thanks to a special layer coated
over the stainless steel door

INSTALLING AND OPERATING YOUR FRIDGE
- Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following
points.
- Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
CAUTION!: Never replace any electrical parts inside the refrigerator. In cases
requiring replacement, contact Caple Service.
- We do not take the responsibility of the damages that occur due to ungrounded
usage.
- Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black
vanes at the rear) by turning it 90° as shown in the figure
to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.
- Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from hobs,
ovens and other heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm
away from electrical ovens.
- It should never be used outdoors or left in the rain.
- When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there
should be at least a 2cm gap between them to prevent
humidity on the outer surface.
- Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a suitable place so
that at least 15 cm is available above it.
- The adjustable front legs should be stabilized at an appropriate height to allow
your fridge to operate in a stable and proper way. You can adjust the legs by
turning them clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should be done before
placing food in the fridge.
- Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water added with a teaspoon
of sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Replace all parts
after cleaning.
- No carpets, rugs, etc. which may obstruct air circulation should be laid under the
refrigerator.
