Safety and environment instructions
•Always have the installation and repairing procedures carried out by the Authorised Service Agent. Manufacturer shall not be held liable for damages that may arise from procedures carried out by unauthorised persons.
•Do not eat cone ice cream and ice cubes immediately after you take them out of the freezer compartment! This may cause frostbite in your mouth!
•Do not touch frozen food by hand! They may stick to your hand!
•Do not put bottled and canned liquid beverages in the freezer compartment. They may burst!
•Never use steam and steam assisted cleaning materials to clean or defrost the refrigerator. Steam will cause short circuit or electric shock since it would get into contact with the electrical parts in the refrigerator!
•Do not use mechanical devices or other methods to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
•Never use the parts on your refrigerator such as the door and drawer as a means of support or step. This will cause the product to tip over or parts of it get damaged.
•Do not damage the cooling circuit, where the refrigerant is circulating, with drilling or cutting tools. The refrigerant that might blow out when the gas channels of the evaporator, pipe extensions or surface coatings are punctured may cause skin irritations and eye injuries.
•Do not cover or block the ventilation holes on the refrigerator with any material.
•Place the beverage with higher proofs tightly closed and vertically.
•Do not use gaseous sprays near the product since there is the risk of fire or explosion!
•Flammable items or products that contain flammable gases (e.g. spray) as well as the explosive materials should never be kept in the appliance.
•Do not place containers filled with liquid on top of the product. Spilling water on an electrical component may cause electric shocks or risk of fire.
•Do not store products (vaccines, heat-sensi- tive medicines, scientific materials and etc.) that require a precise temperature control in the refrigerator.
•If you will not operate the product for a long period of time, unplug and unload the food in it.
•If the product is equipped with blue light, do not look at the blue light with optical tools.
•Exposing the product to rain, snow, sun and wind is dangerous with respect to electrical safety.
•In products with mechanical control (thermostat), wait for minimum 5 minutes to plug in the product again after unplugging it.
•Do not overload the product. It may fall when the door is opened, and cause injury or damage. Similar problems may occur in case of putting things on top of the product.
•If the product's door is equipped with a handle, do not pull by the handle when changing the place of the product. Handle may get loose.

4 Preparation
4.1. What to do for energy saving
AConnecting 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.
•In order to store the maximum amount of food into the cooler compartment of your refrigerator, you should take out the upper drawers and place it onto the glass rack.
The declared energy consumption of your refrigerator was determined by taking out the cooler, ice tray and upper drawers in a way that will enable maximum storage. Using the below drawer when storing is strongly recommended. Energy saving function should be activated for best energy consumption.
•You should not block the airflow by putting food in front of the cooler fan. A space of minimum 3cm must be left in front of the protective fan wire when placing food.
•Depending on the product’s features; defrosting frozen foods in the cooler compartment will ensure energy saving and preserve food quality.
•Food should be stored using the drawers in the cooler compartment in order to ensure energy saving and protect food in better conditions.
•Food packages should not be in direct contact with the heat sensor located in the cooler compartment. If they are in contact with the sensor, energy consumption of the appliance might increase.
•Make sure the foods are not in contact with the cooler compartment temperature sensor described below.
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 and do not open the door, unless absolutely necessary.
C 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 Front edges of the product might heat up. This is normal. These areas are designed to warm up in order to prevent condensation.
C In some models indicator panel turns off automatically 5 minutes after the door closes. It will be reactivated when the door is open or any button is pressed.

6 Maintenance and cleaning
Service life of the product is increase if it is regularly cleaned
BWARNING: First unplug the product before cleaning your refrigerator.
•Never use any sharp and abrasive tools, soap, household cleaners, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
•Dissolve one teaspoon of carbonate in half liter of water. Soak a cloth with the solution and wrung it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the appliance with this cloth and the dry thoroughly.
•Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.
•Clean the door with a damp cloth. To remove door and body shelves, remove all of its contents. Remove door shelves by moving them upwards. After cleaning, slide them from top to bottom to install.
•Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the outer surfaces and chromium coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes corrosion on such metal surfaces.
•Do not use sharp, abrasive tools, soap, household cleaning agents, detergents, kerosene, fuel oil, varnish etc. to prevent removal and deformation of the prints on the plastic part. Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth for cleaning and then wipe it dry.
6.1. Avoiding bad odors
Materials that may cause odor are not used in the production of our appliances. However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of the appliance as required can bring forth the problem of odor.
Therefore, clean the refrigerator with carbonate dissolved in water every 15 days.
•Keep the food in closed containers. Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odours.
•Never keep the food that have expired best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.
6.2. Protecting the plastic surfaces
Clean with arm water immediately as the oil may cause damage on the surface when it is poured on plastic surfaces.
6.3. Door Glasses
Remove the protective foil on the glasses.
There is a coating on the surface of the glasses.
This coating minimizes the stain build-up and helps to remove the possible stains and dirt easily.Glasses that are not protected with such a coating may be subject to persistent binding of air or water based organic or inorganic dirt such as limescale, mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal oxides and silicones that can easily and quickly cause stains or material damage. Keeping the glass clean becomes too difficult despite the regular cleaning. Consequently, the appearance and the transparency of the glass deteriorates. Harsh and corrosive cleaning methods and compounds will intensify these defects and speed up the deterioration process.
Water-based cleaning products that are not alkaline and corrosive must be used for regular cleaning purposes.
Non-alkaline and non-corrosive materials must be used for cleaning so that the service life of this coating lasts for a long time.
These glasses are tempered to increase their durability against impacts and breaking.A safety film is also applied to their rear surfaces as an extra safety measure in order to prevent them from causing damage to their surrounding in case of a breakage.
*Alkali is a base that forms hydroxide ions (OH¯) when it is dissolved in water.
Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (Potassium) Rb (Rubidium), Cs (Cesium) and artificial and radioactive Fr (Fan-sium) metals are called ALKALI
METALS.
