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.Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet.

When the fridge door is open, the fridge compartment interior light will come on.

5.You will hear a noise as the compressor

starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running and this is quite normal.

6.Front edges of the refrigerator may feel

warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation

Electric connection

Connect your product to a grounded socket which is being protected by a fuse with the appropriate capacity.

• The connection must be in compliance with

national regulations.

• The power cable plug must be easily

accessible after installation.

• The specified voltage must be equal to your

mains voltage.

• Extension cables and multiway plugs must

not be used for connection.

BA damaged power cable must be replaced

2. Keep your refrigerator away from heat

sources, humid places and direct sunlight.

Changing the illumination lamp

To change the Bulb/LED used for

illumination of your refrigerator, call your AuthorisedService.

The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way.The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20 °C.

(only chest and upright freezer)

4 Preparation

• Your 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.

• The ambient temperature of the room where you install your refrigerator should at least be 10°C. Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions is not recommended with regard to its efficiency.

• Please make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.

• If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.

• When 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.

• Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.

• 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.

• In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 5 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.

Freezing fresh food

• Wrap or cover the food before placing

them in the refrigerator.

• Hot food must cool down to the room

temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.

• The foodstuff that you want to freeze must

be fresh and in good quality.

• Foodstuff must be divided into portions

according to the family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.

• The foodstuff must be packaged in an

airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be kept for a short time.

• Materials to be used for packaging

must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids and they must also be airtight. Moreover, they must be well closed and they must be made from easy-to-use materials that are suitable for deep freeze usage.

• Frozen food must be used immediately

after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.

• Please observe the following instructions

to obtain the best results.

1. Do not freeze too large quantities of food

at one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

2. Placing warm food into the freezer

compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.

3. Take special care not to mix already frozen

food and fresh food.
