4Preparation

•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 -15°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.

•Due to temperature change as a result of opening/closing the product door during operation, condensation on the door/body shelves and the glass containers is normal

Refrigerator/User Manual	13 / 26 EN

For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.

5.1. Thermostat setting button

The interior temperature of your refrigerator changes for the following reasons;

• Seasonal temperatures,

• Frequent opening of the door and leaving the door open for long periods,

• Food put into the refrigerator without cooling down to the room temperature,

The coldest region is immediately above the vegetable compartment.

The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of foods kept inside.

Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise.

Operating the product

5.2. Defrost

Fridge compartment

Fridge compartment performs fullautomatic defrosting. Water drops and a frosting up to 7-8 mm can occur on the inner rear wall of the fridge compartment while your refrigerator cools down. Such formation is normal as a result of the cooling system. The frost formation is defrosted by performing automatic defrosting with certain intervals thanks to the automatic defrosting system of the rear wall. User is not required to scrape the frost or remove the water drops.

Water resulting from the defrosting passes from the water collection groove and flows into the evaporator through the drain pipe and evaporates here by itself.

Deep freezer compartment does not perform automatic defrosting in order to prevent decaying of the frozen food.

The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.

Check regularly to see if the drain pipe is clogged or not and clear it with the stick in the hole when necessary.

5.3. Freezing fresh food

•It must be preferred to 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.
