Adjusting the legs
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.

Preparation

• 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.
• The ambient temperature of the room where you install your refrigerator should at least be 10°C. Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions is not recommended with regard to its efficiency.
• Please make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.
•  If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.
• 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.
• Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportation or moving.
• 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.
• 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
• 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. Functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display and so on will operate according to the needs to consume minimum energy under these circumstances.

Reversing the doors

Proceed in numerical order

Using your freezer

The operating temperature is regulated by temperature control.

• 0=System cooling is off.
• 1=Lowest cooling setting
• (Warmest setting).
• 5=Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting).

The average temperature inside the fridge should be around +5°C. Please choose the setting according to the desired temperature. Please note that there will be different temperatures in the cooling area. The coldest region is immediately above the vegetable compartment. The interior temperature also depends on ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the number of foods kept inside. Frequently opening the door causes the interior temperature to rise. For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use.The interior temperature of your refrigerator changes for the following reasons;

• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door and leaving the door open for long periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator without cooling down to the room temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in the room (e.g.exposing to sunlight).
• You may adjust the varying interior temperature due to such reasons by using the thermostat
• If the ambient temperature is higher than 32°C, turn the thermostat button to the maximum position.
• If the ambient temperature is lower than 25°C, turn the thermostat button to the minimum position.
