4 Preparation
4.1 Thingstobedone
for saving energy
A
Connecting your refrigerator
to systems that save energy
is dangerous as they may
cause damage on the
product.
• Do not leave the doors of your
refrigerator open for a long
time.
• Do not put hot food or drinks
in your refrigerator.
• Do not overload the
refrigerator. Cooling capacity
will fall when the air
circulation in the refrigerator
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 units and stoves and
at least 5 cm away from
electrical ovens.
• Pay attention to store your
food in refrigerator in closed
containers.
• To be able store maximum
food in the freezer
compartment of your
refrigerator, the upper
drawer has to be removed
and placed on top of glass
shelf. Power consumption
stated for your refrigerator
has been determined after
removing the icematic and
the upper drawers as to
allow maximum loading. It
is strongly recommended to
use the lower drawers in the
freezer and the multizone
compartment while loading.
• Airflow should not be blocked
by placing foods in front of
the freezer and the multizone
compartment fans. Foods
should be loaded by leaving
minimum 5 cm space in front
of the protective fan grid.
• Since hot and humid air
will not directly penetrate
into your product when the
doors are not opened, your
product will optimize itself
in conditions sufficient to
protect your food. Functions
and components such as
compressor, fan, heater,
defrost, lighting, display and
so on will operate according
to the needs to consume

14
minimum energy under these
circumstances.
• Thawing the frozen foods in
the fridge compartment both
saves energy and reserves
the quality of the foods.
4.2 Recommendations
about the fresh food
compartment
• Make sure that the food does
not touch the temperature
sensor in fresh food
compartment. To allow the
fresh food compartment
to keep its ideal storage
temperature, the sensor
must not be hindered by food.
• Do not place hot foods or
beverages inside the product.
4.3 Initial use
Before using the product, make
sure that all preparations have
been made in accordance with
the instructions given in the
“Important instructions regarding
safety and environment” and
“Installation” chapters.
CTemperature of the room
where your refrigerator
is located should at least
be 10ºC /50°F. Operating
your refrigerator under
cooler conditions is not
recommended with regard
to its efficiency.
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.

• Clean the interior of the
refrigerator as recommended
in the “Maintenance and
cleaning” section. Before you

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
refrigerator may feel warm.
This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to
avoid condensation.
