2. Shelves, accessories, crisper and etc. in your refrigerator must be fastened securely by adhesive tape against any jolt before repackaging.

3. Packaging must be tied with thick tapes and strong ropes and the rules of transportation printed on the package must be followed.

C Always remember...

Every recycled material is an indispensable source for the nature and for our national resources.

If you wish to contribute to recycling the packaging materials, you can get further information from the environmental bodies or local authorities.

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. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in the “Maintenance and cleaning” section.

3. Insert the 2 plastic wedges onto the rear ventilation as illustrated in the following figure. Unscrew the existing ones and use the screws given in the same bag of wedges. Plastic wedges will provide the required distance between your refrigerator and the wall in order to allow the air circulation.

4. Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet. When the door is open the respective 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 refrigerator to a grounded socket which is being protected by a fuse with the appropriate capacity.

Important:

B The connection must be in

compliance with national regulations.

B The power cable plug must be easily

accessible after installation.

B The specified voltage must be equal

to your mains voltage.

B Extension cables and multiway plugs

must not be used for connection.

B A damaged power cable must be

replaced by a qualified electrician.

B The appliance must not be operated

before it is repaired! There is danger of electric shock!

Disposing of the packaging

AThe packing materials may be

dangerous for children. Keep the

packing materials out of the reach of children or dispose them of by classifying them in accordance with the waste instructions. Do not dispose them of along with the normal household waste.

The packing of your refrigerator is produced from recyclable materials.

1. Install your refrigerator to a place

that allows ease of use.

2. Keep your refrigerator away from

heat sources, humid places and direct sunlight.

3. There must be appropriate air

ventilation around your refrigerator in order to achieve an efficient operation. If the refrigerator is to be placed in a recess in the wall, there must be at least 5 cm distance with the ceiling and at least 5 cm with the wall.

If the floor is covered with a carpet, your product must be elevated 2.5 cm from the floor.

by unscrewing its screws as shown in

the figure below. (See Figure B)

(C)

1 2 3

(B)

2. Loosen the three screws of the hinges of the lower door, which you wish to escalate, with the help of a screwdriver as shown in the figure

below. (Do not remove completely) (See Figure C)

• If the freezer compartment door is

lower than the fridge compartment door, bring them to the same level by turning the turning the elevation screw on the freezer compartment side in the direction of arrow using a M6 Allen wrench as illustrated in Figure D.

• If the freezer compartment door is

higher than the fridge compartment door, bring them to the same level by turning the elevation screw on the freezer compartment side in the reverse direction of arrow using a M6 Allen wrench as illustrated in Figure D.

After bringing the doors to the same level by elevating the front part with the aid of the elevation screws,ensure the doors of the refrigerator shall close properly. If the doors do not close properly, this might adversely affect the efficiency of the refrigerator.

(D)

Adjusting the gap between the upper door

C You can adjust the gap between

the fridge compartment doors as illustrated in the figures.

Door shelves should be empty when adjusting the door height.

C Using a screwdriver, remove the

screw of upper hinge cover of the door you want to adjust.

Center Screw

C Adjust the door appropriately as

you desire by loosing the screws.

Because of being wires in the hinge cover of the freezer door, switch off the refrigerator power before removing hinge covers and this situation should be made to take care.

C Fix the door you have adjusted by

tightening the screws without changing the position of the door.

C Replace the hinge cover and fix with

the screw.

valve, make sure that there is no leakage at both connection points of the water pipe. In case of a leak, turn off the valve immediately and tighten all joints again using a spanner or a pair of pliers.

A Warning: Make sure that standard

1/2" valve fitting fed by cold mains water supply is available and is turned off fully.

Note -1: There is no need to use water

filter in case a jug is used.

Note -2: Pump must be used when jug

will be used.

C Pumps must be used in case the

supply water pressure drops below 1 bar or if a jug is going to be used.

C Water system of the refrigerator

must be connected to the cold water line. It must not be connected to hot water line.

Prior to first use of Ice/Water Dispenser

C Water mains pressure must not be

below 1 bar.

initial startup of the refrigerator. This is caused by the air in the system. To discharge air from the system, press Dispenser latch for periods of 1 minute until water comes from the Dispenser. Water flow may be irregular in the beginning. Irregular water flow will be normalized after the air in the system is discharged.

C At the initial startup of the

refrigerator approx.12 hours must pass before cold water can be obtained.

C Water mains pressure must be

between 1-8 bars for the operation of Ice/Water Dispenser smoothly. For

this, check that 1 glass of water (100

cc) can be filled in 10 seconds.

C The first 10 glasses of water should

not be consumed.

C 12 hours must pass to obtain ice

from the Ice Dispenser for the first time. If there is not enough ice in the ice dispenser, ice may not be obtained from ice dispenser.
