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.

13
IT
4.2 Initial use
Before using your refrigerator,
make sure the necessary
preparations are made in line with
the instructions in “Safety and
environment instructions” and
“Installation” sections.
• Keep the product running 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
warm up in order to
prevent condensation.
CIn some models indicator
panel turns off automatically
5 minutes after the door
closes. It will be reactivated
when the door is open or any
button is pressed.
