Adjusting the legs

Door Open Warning

If your refrigerator is unbalanced;

You can balance your refrigerator by turning its front legs as illustrated in the figure. The corner where the leg exists is lowered when you turn in the direction of black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. Taking help from someone to slightly lift the refrigerator will facilitate this process.

(This feature is optional)

An audio warning signal will be given when the door of your product is left open for at least 1 minute. This warning will be muted when the door is closed or any of the display buttons (if any) are pressed.

Ice Pack

Ice subsitute pack decelerates thawing of stored frozen food in case of blackout or malfunction. Placing the pack directly on top of the food will enable the longest storing period.

Ice substitute pack can also be used to keep food temporarily cold, e.g. in a cooler bag.

4 Preparation

• Your cooler/freezer 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.

• Please make sure that the interior of your cooler/freezer is cleaned thoroughly.

• If two coolers are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.

• When you operate your cooler/ freezer for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.

• Its door should not be opened frequently.

• It must be operated empty without placing any food in it.

• Do not unplug your cooler/freezer. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the “Recommended solutions for the problems” section.

• 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.

• This product has been designed to function at ambient temperatures up to 43 °C (90 SDgrF). Even if the ambient temperature falls to -15

°C, frozen food in the freezer does not thaw thanks to its Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System. For the first installation, the product should NOT be placed under low ambient temperatures. This is because the freezer cannot go down to standard operation temperature. When reaching continuous operation, the product can be moved to another place. Thus, later you can place your product in the garage or an unheated room without the concern of causing frozen food to get rotten. However, it is likely that above mentioned low temperatures may cause the freezing of the food in the fridge compartment; thus, please consume the food items in the fridge in a controlled way as needed. When ambient temperature goes back to normal, you may change button setting according to your need.

• If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in fridge compartment will freeze. Therefore, we recommend not using the fridge compartment in such low ambient temperatures. You may continue to use the freezer compartment as usual.

• 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.
