the |
product |
A to electronic |
energy-saving |
|
systems is harmful, as it may damage the product.
t For a freestanding appliance; ‘this refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.
t Do not keep the refrigerator doors open for long periods.
t Do not place hot food or beverages into the refrigerator.
t Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the internal air flow will reduce cooling capacity.
t In order to load the maximum quantity of food into the cooler compartment of your refrigerator, the upper drawers should be taken out and the food should be placed onto the wire/glass shelves. Net volume and energy consumption information declared in the energy label of your refrigerator was tested by taking out the upper drawers in the cooler department
and the ice bucket, which is easily removable by hand.
t Food packages should not be in direct contact with the heat sensor located in the cooler compartment. The food should be 10 cm away from the sensor. In case of contact with the sensor, energy consumption of the device may increase.
10 cm |
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.
t Keep the product running without placing any food inside for 6 hours and do not open the door, unless absolutely necessary.
t The temperature change caused by opening and closing of the door while using the product may normally lead to frost deposit, icing and condensation on food placed on door/body shelves and glass containers placed in the product.
