Installing and Operating your Fridge
Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:
• Before starting to use your fridge, please call the nearest authorized service from the
“Home Appliances Authorized Services Manual” supplied with your fridge, and get
free help on the installation, operation and usage of your fridge.
• Operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• Mains cord of your fridge has a grounded plug. This plug should be used with a
grounded receptacle that has a 16 ampere fuse minimum. If you don’t have a
receptacle confirming with this, please have it done by a qualified electrician.
• We do not take the responsibility of the damages that occur due to ungrounded
usage.
• Place your fridge in a place that it would not be exposed to direct
sunlight.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves,
ovens and heater cores, and should be at least 5 cm away from
electrical ovens.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or left under the rain.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should
be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity on the outer
surface.
• Do not place anything on your fridge, and install your fridge in a
suitable place so that at least 15 cm is available on the upper
side.
• The adjustable front legs should stabilized in an appropriate height to allow your
fridge operate in a stable and proper way. You can adjust the legs by turning them
clockwise (or in the opposite direction). This should be done before placing food in
the fridge.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with warm water added with a tea spoonful of
sodium bicarbonate, and then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts after
cleaning.
• Install the distance adjustment plastic (the part with black vanes
at the rear) by turning it 90° as shown in the figure to prevent the
condenser from touching the wall.
Before Operating your Fridge
• When it is operated for the first time or after transportation, keep your
fridge in the upright position for 3 hours and plug it on to allow
efficient operation.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time; the
smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.
