Preparation
Actions to be taken to save energy
Connecting the product to electronic energy-saving system is inconvenient as this may damage the product.
-
for a freestanding appliance; ‘this refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance’ ;
-
Do not leave the doors of the product open for a long time.
-
Do not put hot food or drinks in the product.
-
Do not overfill the product. When the inlet air circulation is reduced, its cooling capacity is prevented.
-
Put your food in the product in closed containers.
-
You can store maximum amount of food items in the freezer compartment of the product when you remove the shelf of the freezer. Energy consumption value stated for the product has been determined by removing freezer shelf and under maximum food load.
There is no harm to use a shelf according to the shapes and size of food to be frozen. -
Defrosting the frozen food in fridge compartment will both provide energy saving and preserve the food quality.
-
This device is designed to operate at ambient temperatures up to 43°C (90 °F). It is equipped with Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System allowing to keep the frozen food in the freezer defrost even the ambient temperature reduces to -15 °C. When first installed the product MUST NOT be placed in low ambient temperatures.
-
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.
-
Do not contact the foods to the fridge compartment temperature sensor indicated in the figure below.
First use
Before you start using your refrigerator, make sure that preparations are made according to the instructions in the “Safety and environmental instructions” and “Installation” sections.
- Run the product empty without putting food for 6 hours and do not open the door unless necessary.
You will hear a sound when the
compressor starts. The liquids and gases compressed within the cooling system
may produce sound even if the compressor is not running and that sound is
normal.
The front edges of the product
may be hot.
This is normal. These areas are designed to be heated to prevent condensation.
Use of the Product
Temperature adjustment knob
The internal temperature of your refrigerator will vary due to the following reasons:
- Seasonal temperatures,
- Frequently opening the door and the door remaining open for a long time,
- Dishes put hot in your refrigerator before cooling down to room temperature,
- The location of the refrigerator in the room (such as exposure to the sun’s heat).
- You can adjust the internal temperature which varies due to these reasons by the adjustment knob.
The numbers around the adjustment knob shows the degree of temperature as
“°C”.
If the ambient temperature is 25 °C, it is recommended to use the temperature
adjustment knob of the refrigerator at 4 °C.
In other ambient temperatures, this value can be increased or decreased
according to need.
Fast freezing
If you want to freeze large quantities of fresh food, put the temperature adjustment knob to ( ) position 24 hours before putting the food in the fast freezing compartment.
In order to freeze maximum amount of fresh food specified as the freezing capacity, it is recommended to keep the knob in this position for at least 24 hours.
Pay particular attention to not mixing food sold as frozen and the fresh food.
Once the food is frozen, remember to bring the temperature adjustment knob to
its previous position.
Holiday function
If the doors of the product is not opened for at least 12 hours after the temperature adjustment knob is put to the warmest ( ) position, Holiday function will be activated automatically.
To cancel the function, the adjustment of the knob must be changed.
When the holiday function is active, storing food in the fridge compartment is
not recommended.
- After adjustment process is complete, you can hide the temperature adjustment knob by pushing it in.
Snow defrosting
During the cooling of your refrigerator, water droplets and snow up to 7-8 mm thickness are formed on the inside back wall of the fridge compartment. This formation is normal due to the cooling system.
The snow formed in the fridge compartment is defrosted at regular intervals by means of the automatic defrost system contained in the interior rear wall. Therefore, there is no need of scraping snow and cleaning water droplets by the user.
The water formed by defrosting flows to the evaporating dish on the rear of your refrigerator and spontaneously evaporates here.
The water flows to the evaporating dish via a drain pipe contained in the
inner back wall. Check whether the drain pipe is blocked at specific time
intervals and if blocked, open.
To avoid deterioration of the
frozen food in the freezer compartment, no defrosting is performed
automatically.
The snow formed in the freezer compartment should be defrosted every 6 months.
For snow defrosting process, it is primarily necessary to stop the operation of your refrigerator. To do this, unplug the power plug.
Empty the freezer compartment. Keep your frozen food in a cool place during the snow defrosting process.
The door of the freezer compartment should be kept closed during the defrosting process.
When the snow formed is completely defrosted, take the water collected in the
freezer compartment with an absorbent cloth or sponge and dry.
To run your product re-connect the power plug.
WARNING: To speed up the defrosting in your refrigerator, never use materials such as candles, gas lamps and heaters.
Before putting your food back in
the freezer compartment run for 2 hours with the doors closed and empty.
