5.1 What To Do For Energy Saving
Connecting the product to elec­tronic energy-saving systems is harmful, as it may damage the product.
• This refrigerating appliance is not inten­ded to be used as a built in appliance.
• Do not keep the refrigerator doors open for long periods.
• Do not place hot food or beverages into the refrigerator.
• Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the internal air flow will reduce cooling capacity.
• Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate into your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food. Under these circum­stances, functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, light­ing, display and so on will operate ac­cording to the needs by consuming min­imum energy.
• In case that multiple options are present, glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the rear wall are not blocked and preferably, in a way that air outlets remain below the glass shelf. This com­bination may help improving air distribu­tion and energy efficiency.
• Using the below drawer when storing is strongly recommended.
• Depending on the product’s features; de­frosting frozen foods in the cooler com­partment will ensure energy saving and preserve food quality.
• In order to load the maximum quantity of food into the freezer compartment of your refrigerator, the upper drawers may be taken out and the food should be placed onto the wire/glass shelves.
• Food shall be stored using the drawers in the cooler compartment in order to en­sure energy saving and protect food in better conditions.
• Food packages shall not be in direct con­tact with the temperature sensor located in the freezer compartment.
5.2 First Use
Before using your refrigerator, make sure the necessary preparations are made in line with the instructions in "Safety and Environ­mental Instructions" and "Installation" sec­tions.
• Keep the product running without placing any food inside for 6 hours and do not open the door, unless absolutely neces­sary.
• The temperature change caused by open­ing and closing of the door while using the product may normally lead to con­densation on door/body shelves and glassware placed in the product.
A sound will be heard when the compressor is engaged. It is nor­mal for the product to make noise even if the compressor is not run­ning, as fluid and gas may be com­pressed in the cooling system.
It is normal for the front edges of the refrigerator to be warm. These areas are designed to warm up in order to prevent condensation.
EN
DE FR

For some models, indicator panel turns off automatically 1 minute after the door closes. It will be re­activated when the door is opened or any button is pressed.
5.3 Climate Class and Definitions
Please refer to the Climate Class on the rat­ing plate of your device. One of the follow­ing information is applicable to your device according to the Climate Class.
SN: Long Term Temperate Climate: This cooling device is designed for use at am­bient temperatures between 10 °C and 32 °C.
N: Temperate Climate: This cooling device is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 16°C and 32 °C.
ST: Subtropical Climate: This cooling device is designed for use at ambient temperatures between 16°C and 38°C.
T: Tropical Climate: This cooling device is designed for use at ambient temperat­ures between 16°C and 43°C.
5.4 Hints and Tips
Hints for energy saving
• Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consump­tion.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
• Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required by the charac­teristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low tem­perature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperat­ure control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a temperat­ure less than or equal to +4°C.
• Higher temperature setting inside the ap­pliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to pre­serve its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food in­side the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the appli­ance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.
Hints for food refrigeration
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable pack­aging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1 -2 days.

6 Use of Your Appliance
6.1 Control Panel of the Product 6.2 Temperature Adjustment Button
Read the “Safety Instructions”
section first.
EN / 17
*Optional: Shown functions are optional, there may be differences of shape and loc­ation in functions found on your appliance’s indicator panel. Auditory and visual functions on the indic­ator panel will assist you in using the refri­gerator.
The operating temperature is set by the temperature control. 1=Lowest cooling setting (Warmest set­ting) 4=Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting) MAX. = When the max position is adjusted the quick freezing function shall be activ­ated. The freezer compartment temperature is set to -27 °C. Change the thermostat posi­tion 1 to 4 again to cancel the function. The quick freezing function will be automatic­ally cancelled after 50 hours. To freeze a large amount of fresh food, change to the max position before placing the food in the freezer compartment. Please select a setting based on the de­sired temperature. The internal temperature also depends on the ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of food stored inside. Frequent opening of the door causes the in­ternal temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use. The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be knob position 1 (-18 °C / 0 °F). (-18 °C / 0 °F) Lower temperatures can be obtained by ad­justing the thermostat knob towards Posi­tion 4. We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the stor­age compartments are at the desired tem­perature. Remember to read the temperature imme­diately after removing it from the freezer, as the thermometer temperature rises very quickly.
6.3 Freezing Fresh Foods
• Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to a size to be con­sumed, and frozen in separate packages. In this way, all the food should be preven­ted from being re-frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional value, the aroma and the colour of the foods as much as possible, vegetables should be boiled for a short period of time before freezing. (Boiling is not necessary for foods such as cucumber, parsley.) Cook­ing time of the vegetables frozen in this way is shortened by 1/3 than that of the fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of frozen foods, boiled vegetables must first be filtered and then hermetically packaged as in the all types of foods.
• Foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without package.
• The packaging material of the food to be stored should be air-tight, thick and dur­able and should not deform with cold and humidity. Otherwise, the food that is hardened by freezing might pierce the package. Sealing the package well is also important in terms of securely storing the food.

The Following Packaging Types Are Suitable to Freeze Food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminium foil, plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-resistant stor­age containers with caps.
The Use of Following Types of Pack­aging Is Not Recommended to Freeze Food:
Packaging paper, parchment paper, cello­phane (gelatin paper), garbage bag, used bags and shopping bags.
• Hot foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without cooling.
• When placing unfrozen fresh foods in the freezer compartment, please note that it does not contact with frozen foods. Cool­pack (PCM) can be placed to the rack im­mediately below the quick freezing rack for preventing them from being getting warm.
• During the freezing time (24 hours) do not place other food to the freezer.
• Place your foods to the freezing shelves or racks by spreading them so that they will not be cramped (it is recommended that the packaging does not come into contact with each other).
• Frozen foods must be immediately con­sumed in a short period of time after de­frosting and must never be frozen again.
• Do not block the ventilation holes by put­ting your frozen foods in front of the vent­ilation holes located on the back surface.

Defrosting
The ice in the freezer compartments is automatically thawed.
Freezer Details
The EN 62552 standard requires (according to specific measurement conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of food for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume can be frozen at 25 °C ambient temperature in 24 hours.
Defrosting the Frozen Foods
Depending on the food diversity and the purpose of use, a selection can be made between the following options for defrost­ing:
• At room temperature (it is not very suit­able to defrost the food by leaving it at room temperature for a long time in terms of maintaining the food quality)
• In the refrigerator
