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.Please install the 2 plastic wedges as illustrated in the figure. Plastic wedges will provide the required distance between your refrigerator and the wall in order to allow the air circulation. (The illustrated figure is only an example and does not match exactly with your product.)

4.Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet. When the fridge door is open, the fridge compartment 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

where the refrigerator will be installed is not wide enough for the refrigerator to pass through, then call the authorised service to have them remove the doors of your refrigerator and pass it sideways through the door.

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.

4. Place your refrigerator on an even floor surface to prevent jolts.

turning the front legs as shown in the illustration below. The corner where the leg exists is lowered when you turn it 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.

Installing the lower ventilation cover

You can install the lower ventilation cover as illustrated in the figure.

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.

C The ambient temperature of

the room where you install your refrigerator should at least be 10°C. Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions than this is not recommended with regard to its efficiency.

C Please make sure that the interior

of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.

C If two refrigerators are to be installed

side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.

C 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.

C Original packaging and foam

materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.

CThis appliance is designed to

operate at temperatures specified in the table below is equipped with Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System [AETCS] which ensures that at the advised setting [4

- four on the knob] the frozen food in

the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as

-15 °C. When first installed the product

MUST NOT be placed in low ambient

temperatures because the freezer will not reduce to it’s standard operating temperature. Once it has reached its steady operating state it can be relocated. So you may then install your appliance in a garage or an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. However at low ambient temperatures mentioned above, fridge contents are likely to freeze, so check and consume food in the fridge accordingly. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may change the knob setting to suit your needs.

CIf the ambient temperature is

below 0°C, the food in the fridge compartment will freeze.So, we recommend you don’t use the fridge compartment in such low ambient conditions. You can continue using the freezer compartment as usual.

5 Using your refrigerator

Temperature setting button

Temperature setting button allows you to make the temperature setting of your refrigerator.

Setting the temperature of your refrigerator

The overall temperature setting of your refrigerator is made by means of the temperature setting button on the right wall of the fridge compartment. This button has 5 different temperature setting position. Select the position suitable to your needs.

Door Open Warning

A audio warning signal will be given when the fridge compartment door of your product is left open for at least 1 minute. This audio signal will mute when any button on the indicator is pressed or when the door is closed.

Dual cooling system:

Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food compartment and freezer

compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher then other refrigerators. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

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 easyto-use materials that are suitable for deep freeze usage.

• Food to be frozen must be put in the

freezer compartment. (They should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent their partial thawing. Freezing capacity of our product is given in the technical specifications of your refrigerator.)
