4.1. Things to be done for energy saving
mehmet
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.
• 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.
• To be able to store the maximum amount of food in
the freezer compartment of your refrigerator, remove
the icebox and the ice container and place them on
top of the glass shelf. The power consumption stated
for your refrigerator was determined after removing
the icebox, ice container, and upper and middle
drawers to allow maximum loading. Using the lower
drawer while loading is highly recommended.
• Depending on the features of your product, thawing
frozen food in fridge compartment will both provide
energy saving and preserve the food quality.
• Airflow should not be blocked by placing foods in
front of the freezer compartment fan. Foods should
be loaded by leaving minimum 5 cm space in front
of the protective fan grid.
• The temperature sensor in the freezer compartment
must be prevented from directly contacting
food packages. If they get in contact, the power
consumption of the product may increase.
C
Inside of your product must be cleaned.
C
If two coolers are to be installed side
by side, there should be at least 4 cm
distance between them.
4 Preparation
4.2. Initial use
