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

time.
• Do not put hot food or drinks in
your refrigerator.
• Do not overload the refrigerator.
Cooling capacity will fall when
the air circulation inside is
hindered.
• Do not place the refrigerator 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 refrigerator in closed
containers.
• You can load maximum
amount of food to the freezer
compartment of the refrigerator
by removing the freezer
compartment drawers. Declared
energy consumption value of
the refrigerator was determined
with the freezer compartment
drawers removed,except if
available bottom drawer and
with 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.
CThe ambient temperature
of the room where you
install the refrigerator
should at least be
5°C. Operating your
refrigerator under colder
conditions than this is not
recommended.
CInside of your refrigerator
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
refrigerator as recommended in
the “Maintenance and cleaning”
section. Check that inside of it is
dry before operating it.
• Plug the refrigerator into the
grounded wall outlet. When
the door is opened the interior
illumination will turn on.
• Run the refrigerator without
putting any food for 6 hours
and do not open its door unless

also give rise to noise,
even if the compressor
is not running and this is
quite normal.
CFront edges of the
refrigerator may feel
warm. This is normal.
These areas are designed
to be warm to avoid
condensation.
CFor energy efficiency, it
is recommmended to
remove top shelf and
load food on the shelf
below.Net volume of your
appliance is declared
without top two flaps and
the top shelf in place.
Place two ice pack ( if
provided ) directly on the
top of frozen food to be
stored on top shelf.

5.4 Humidity controlled crisper
(everfresh)
(This feature is optional)
Humidity rates of the vegetables
and fruit are kept under control
with the feature of humidity-
controlled crisper and the food is
ensured to stay fresh for longer.
We recommend you to place the
leafy vegetables such as lettuce,
spinach and the vegetables which
are sensitive to humidity loss, in
a horizontal manner as much as
possible inside the crisper, not on
their roots in a vertical position.
While the vegetables are being
placed, specific gravity of the
vegetables should be taken into
consideration. Heavy and hard
vegetables should be put at the
bottom of the crisper and the
lightweight and soft vegetables
should be placed over.
Never leave the vegetables
inside the crisper in their bags.
If the vegetables are left inside
their bags, this will cause them
to decompose in a short period
of time. In case contacting with
other vegetables is not preferred
for hygiene concerns, use a
perforated paper and other similar
packaging materials instead of a
bag.
Do not place together the pear,
apricot, peach, etc. and apple in
particular which have a high level
of generation of ethylene gas in
the same crisper with the other
vegetables and fruit. The ethylene
gas which is emitted by these fruit
may cause the other fruit to ripen
faster and decompose in a shorter
time.

6. Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning your fridge at regular in-
tervals will extend the service life
of the product.
BWARNING:
Unplug the product before cleaning
it.
• Never use gasoline, benzene or
similar substances for cleaning
purposes.
• Never use any sharp and
abrasive tools, soap, household
cleaners, detergent and wax
polish for cleaning.
• For non-No Frost products,
water drops and frosting up to a
fingerbreadth occur on the rear
wall of the Fridge compartment.
Do not clean it; never apply oil
or similar agents on it.
• Only use slightly damp
microfiber cloths to clean the
outer surface of the product.
Sponges and other types of
cleaning cloths may scratch the

• Dissolve one teaspoon of bi-
carbonate in half litre of water.
Soak a cloth with the solution
and wrung it thoroughly. Wipe

corrosion on such metal
surfaces.
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:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean
is important. Food residuals,
stains, etc. can cause odour.
Therefore, clean the refrigerator
with bi-carbonate dissolved in
water every few months. Never
use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed
containers. Microorganisms
spreading out from uncovered
containers can cause
unpleasant odours.

20
• Never keep the food that have
passed best before dates and
spoiled in the refrigerator.
6.2 Protecting the plas-
tic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked
meals in your refrigerator in un-
sealed containers as they dama-
ge the plastic surfaces of the refri-
gerator. If oil is spilled or smeared
onto the plastic surfaces, clean and
rinse the relevant part of the surfa-
ce at once with warm water.
