amount of food to the

freezer compartment of the

refrigerator by removing the

freezer compartment drawers.

Declared energy consumption

value of the refrigerator was

determined with the freezer

compartment drawers

removed,except if available

bottom drawer and with

maximum amount of food

loaded.

• There is no risk in using a

shelf or drawer suitable for the

shapes and sizes of the foods to

be frozen.

• Thawing frozen food in fridge

compartment will both provide

energy saving and preserve the

food quality.

• 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.

The ambient temperature

of the room where you

install the refrigerator

should at least be

-15°C. Operating your

refrigerator under colder

conditions than this is not

recommended.

Inside of your refrigerator

must be cleaned

thoroughly.

If two coolers are to be

installed side by side,

there should be at least

4 cm distance between

them.

a result of opening/closing the

product door during operation,

condensation on the door/body

shelves and the glass containers

is normal.

gases sealed within the

refrigeration system may

also give rise to noise,

even if the compressor

is not running and this is

quite normal.

Front edges of the

refrigerator may feel

warm. This is normal.

These areas are designed

to be warm to avoid

condensation.

For energy efficiency, it

is recommmended to

remove top shelf and

load food on the shelf

below.Net volume of your

appliance is declared

without top two flaps and

the top shelf in place.

Place two ice pack ( if

provided ) directly on the

top of frozen food to be

stored on top shelf
