4. Preparation
4.1 Things to be done for
energy saving
AConnecting the product to
electronic energy-saving
systems is harmful, as it
may damage the product.
• 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 store the maximum
amount of food into the
cooler compartment of your
refrigerator, you should take
out the upper drawers and
place it onto the glass rack. The
declared energy consumption
of your refrigerator was
determined by taking out the
cooler, ice tray and upper
drawers in a way that will
enable maximum storage. Using
the below drawer when storing
is strongly recommended.
Energy saving function should
be activated for best energy
consumption.
• You should not block the airflow
by putting food in front of the
cooler fan. A space of minimum
3cm must be left in front of the
protective fan wire when placing
food.
• Depending on the product’s
features; defrosting frozen foods
in the cooler compartment
will ensure energy saving and
preserve food quality.
• Food should be stored using
the drawers in the cooler
compartment in order to ensure
energy saving and protect food
in better conditions.
• Food packages should not be
in direct contact with the heat
sensor located in the cooler
compartment. If they are in
contact with the sensor, energy
consumption of the appliance
might increase.
• Make sure the foods are not
in contact with the cooler
compartment temperature
sensor described below.

4.2 Initial use
Before using your refrigerator,
make sure the necessary
preparations are made in line with

no food inside for 6 and do not
open the door, unless absolutely
necessary.
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.
CFront edges of the
product might heat up.
This is normal. These
areas are designed to

5.4 Fan
Fan was designed to distribute circu-
late the cold air inside your refrigera-
tor homogeneously. Operating time of
the fan might vary depending the fea-
tures of your product.
While in some products fan only op-
erates with compressor, in others con-
trol system determines the operating
time based on the need for cooling.
5.6 Egg holder
You can put the eggholder on the
door or body rack of your choice. If you
decide to put it on the body rack, it is
recommended to prefer the shelves
.below as they are colder
ADo not put the eggholder
into the freezer
compartment.
5.2 Dual cooling system
Your refrigerator is equipped with
two separate cooling systems to
cool the fresh food compartment
and freezer compartment. Thus, air
in the fresh food compartment and
freezer compartment do not get
mixed.Thanks to these two separate
cooling systems, cooling speed is
much higher than other refrigerators.
Odors in the compartments do not get
mixed. Also additional power saving
is provided since the defrosting is
performed individually.
5.3 Door open alert(Optional)
An audible alert will be heard if the
product's door remains open for at

As shown in the figure, there are
2 stoppers in the second crisper of
K70560 model product.
With the door is open 90°, pull the
second crisper up to the first stopper
as shown in Figure 3.
In the case that the drawer is more
open, first of all, open the door by
at least 135° degrees. After that, as
shown in Figure 4, lift the second
crisper for about 5 mm so that it is
freed from the first stopper.

5.8 Freezing fresh food
• In order to preserve the quality
of the food, it shall be frozen
as quickly as possible when
it is placed in the freezer

• Ensure that you pack your food
before putting them in the
freezer. Use freezer containers,
foils and moisture-proof papers,
plastic bags and other packing
materials instead of traditional
packing papers.
• Label each pack of food by
adding the date before freezing.
You may distinguish the
freshness of each food pack in
this way when you open your
freezer each time. Store the

5.9 Recommendations for
preserving the frozen food
Compartment shall be set to -18°C at
least.
1. Put packages in the freezer
as quickly as possible after
purchase without allowing
the to thaw.
2. Check whether the “Use
By” and “Best Before” da-
tes on the packaging are
expired or not before free-
zing it.
3. Ensure that the package of
the food is not damaged.
5.11 Deep-freeze information
According to IEC 62552 standards,
the product shall freeze at least
4.5 kg of food at 25°C ambient
temperature to -18°C or lower
within 24 hours for every 100-litres
of freezer volume.
It is possible to preserve the food
for a long time only at -18°C or
lower temperatures.
You can keep the freshness of
food for many months (at -18°C or
lower temperatures in the deep
freeze).
Foods to be frozen should not be
allowed to come in contact with the
previously frozen items to prevent
them from getting thawed partially.
Boil the vegetables and drain their
water in order to store vegetables
for a longer time as frozen. After
draining their water, put them
in air-proof packages and place
them inside the freezer. Food such
as bananas, tomatoes, lettuce,
celery, boiled eggs, potatoes are
not suitable for freezing. When
these foods are frozen, only their
nutritional value and taste shall
be affected negatively. They shall
not be spoiled so that they would
create a risk for human health.
