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.

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

(B)

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.

filter in case a jug is used.

Note -2: Pump must be used when jug

will be used.

A Warning: Secure the water pipe

to suitable points by means of the pipe clips supplied to avoid any damage or displacement or accidental disconnection.

A Warning: After turning on the water

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.

Prior to first use of Ice/Water Dispenser

C Water mains pressure must not be

below 1 bar.

C Water mains pressure must not be

over 8 bars.

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.

C No water may be obtained in the

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 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.

C Approximately the first 30 cubes

of ice to be obtained from the Ice Dispenser must not be used.

C Always use the water filter when a

jug is not being used.

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.

4 Preparation

C 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.
