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 refrigerator 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 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.
•
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 refrigerator
by removing the freezer
compartment drawers. Declared
energy consumption value of
the refrigerator 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.
C
The ambient
temperature of the room
where you install the
refrigerator should at
least be -15°C. Operating
your refrigerator under
colder conditions than
this is not recommended.

Inside of your
refrigerator must be
cleaned thoroughly.
C
If two coolers are to be
installed side by side,

4 cm distance between
them.
