4. Preparation
4.1 Things to be done
for energy saving
A
Connecting the product
to electric energy saving
systems is risky as it may
cause damage on the
product.
• Do not leave the doors of
your cooler/freezer open
for a long time. When doors
are open,warm air enters
the fridge/freezer cabinets
and the appliance consumes
more energy to cool down the
foodstuffs.
• Do not put hot food or drinks in
your cooler/freezer.
• Do not overload the cooler/
freezer. Cooling capacity will fall
when the air circulation inside is
hindered.
• Do not place the cooler/freezer
in places subject to direct
sunlight. Install the product
at least 30 cm away from heat
sources such as hobs, ovens,
heater cores and stoves and at
least 5 cm away from electrical
ovens.
• Pay attention to store your
food in cooler/freezer in closed
containers.

• 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.
• You can load maximum
amount of food to the freezer
compartment of the cooler/
freezer by removing the freezer
compartment drawers. Declared
energy consumption value of the
cooler/freezer was determined
with the freezer compartment
drawers and top compartment
flap removed and given wire
shelf is used at the bottom
of the freezer compartment
for maximum amount of food
loaded. There is no risk in using
a shelf or drawer suitable for
the shapes and sizes of the
foods to be frozen.
• Thawing frozen food in fridge
compartment will both provide
energy saving and preserve the
food quality.
• Do not block the freezer fan grill
by placing foods in front.

16
• Please use provided 2 pieces
of cold packs (PCM ) at
recommended places in the
figure when storing foodstuffs
in freezer compartments.
It also helps to keep your
foodstuffs colder for more
time when electricity is off or
your appliance is unplugged.
Temperature rise time declared
with cold packs.
CThe ambient temperature
of the room where you
install the cooler/freezer
should at least be -15°C.
Operating your cooler/
freezer under colder
conditions than this is not
recommended.
CInside of your cooler/
freezer must be cleaned
thoroughly.
CIf two coolers are to be
installed side by side,
there should be at least
4 cm distance between
them.
4.2 Initial use
Before starting to use the product,
check that all preparations are
made in accordance with the
instructions in sections "Important
instructions for safety and
environment" and "Installation".
• Clean the interior of the cooler/
freezer as recommended in the
“Maintenance and cleaning”
section. Check that inside of it is
dry before operating it.
• Plug the cooler/freezer into
the grounded wall outlet. When
the door is opened the interior
illumination will turn on.
• Run the cooler/freezer without
putting any food for 6 hours
and do not open its door unless
certainly required.
CYou will hear a noise
when the compressor
starts up. The liquids and
gases sealed within the
refrigeration system may
also give rise to noise,
even if the compressor
is not running and this is
quite normal.
CFront edges of the cooler/
freezer may feel warm.
This is normal. These
areas are designed
to be warm to avoid
condensation.
CSuch loading will
result in higher energy
consumption and
worsen freezer storage
performance of your
appliance.

5.2 Dual cooling system
Your cooler/freezer is equipped
with three separate cooling
systems to cool the fresh food
compartment, frozen food
compartment and multi zone
compartment. Thus, air and odour
in the fresh food compartment
and frozen food compartment do
not get mixed. Thanks to these
two separate cooling systems,
cooling speed is much higher
then other cooler/freezers. Also
additional power saving is provided
since the defrosting is performed
individually.
5.3 Freezing fresh food
• Wrap the food or place them in a
covered container before putting
them in the cooler/freezer.
• Hot food and beverages
must cool down to the room
temperature before putting
them in the cooler/freezer.
• The food that you want to freeze
must be fresh and in good
quality.
• Divided the food into portions
according to your family’s daily
or meal based consumption
needs.
• Pack the food in an airtight
manner to prevent them from
drying even if they are going to
be stored for a short time.
• Materials to be used for
packaging must be tear-proof
and resistant to cold, humidity,
odour, oils and acids and they
must also be airtight. Moreover,
they must be well closed and
they must be made from easy-
to-use materials that are
suitable for deep-freezers.
• Take special care not to mix
already frozen food and fresh
food.(They should not to be
allowed to come in contact with
the previously frozen items to
prevent their partial thawing.)
• Frozen food must be used
immediately after they are
thawed and they should never
be re-frozen.
• Do not freeze too large
quantities of food at one time.
The quality of the food is best
preserved when it is frozen right
through to the core as quickly as
possible.
• Placing warm food into the
freezer compartment causes
the cooling system to operate
continuously until the food is
frozen solid.
• Maximum frozen food storage
volume is achieved without
using the drawers and the
upper shelf cover provided
in the freezer compartment.
Energy consumption of your
appliance is declared while the
freezer compartment is fully
loaded on shelves without the
use of the drawers and upper
shelf cover. Use the given
wire shelf at the bottom of
the freezer compartment for
a better energy consumption
performance.
• It is recommended that you
place foodstuffs on top shelf of
freezer for initial freezing.
