Before operating your refrigerator
Before starting to use your refrigerator check the following:
1.Is the interior of the refrigerator dry and can the air circulate freely in the rear of it?
2.Please install the 2 plastic wedges as illustrated in the figure. Plastic wedges will provide the required distance between your refrigerator and the wall in order to allow the air circulation. (The illustrated figure is
only an example and does not match exactly with your product.)
3.Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in the “Maintenance and cleaning” section.

4 Preparation
CYour refrigerator should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heater and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens and should not be located under direct sunlight.
CPlease make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.
CIf two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.
CWhen you operate your refrigerator for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.
-The door should not be opened frequently.
-It must be operated empty without any food in it.
-Do not unplug your refrigerator. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the “Recommended solutions for the problems” section.
COriginal packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.
CThis appliance is designed to operate at temperatures specified in the table below is equipped with Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System [AETCS] which ensures that at the advised setting [4 - four on the knob] the frozen food in the freezer
will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. When first installed the product MUST NOT be placed in low ambient temperatures because the freezer will not reduce to it’s standard operating temperature. Once it has reached
its steady operating state it can be re-located. So you may then install your appliance in a garage or an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. However at low ambient temperatures mentioned above, fridge contents are likely to freeze, so check and consume food in the fridge accordingly. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may change the knob setting to suit your needs.
CIf the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in the fridge compartment will freeze.So, we
recommend you don’t use the fridge compartment in such low ambient conditions. You can continue using the freezer compartment as usual.

Dual cooling system
Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling
systems, cooling speed is much higher then other refrigerators. Odours in the compartments do not get mixed. Also additional power saving is provided since the automatic defrosting is performed individually.
