4.1. What to do for
energy saving
A
Connecting 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.
•
To be able store maximum food in the freezer
compartment of your refrigerator, the upper
drawers have to be removed and placed on
top of wire rack. The net volume and energy
consumption values specified in the energy
label of the refrigerator was tested after
removing the freezer compartment’s upper
shelf and the ice container which can easily
be removed manually. Using the lower drawer
while loading is highly recommended.
•
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 minimum energy under
these circumstances.
•
Depending on the product’s features;
defrosting frozen foods in the cooler
compartment will ensure energy saving and
preserve food quality.
•
Make sure the foods are not in contact with
the cooler compartment temperature sensor
described below.
•
Food must be stored in drawers inside the
cooler compartment in order to provide energy
saving and preserve the food in a better
ambient.
•
Prevent direct contact between the
temperature sensor in the freezer compartment
and the food packages. Energy consumption
may increase in case of a contact with the
sensor.
4.2. First 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 hours and do not open the door, unless
absolutely necessary.

A 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.
C
It is normal for the front edges of the
refrigerator to be warm. These areas are
designed to warm up in order to prevent
condensation.
