Preparation
Things to be done for energy saving
Connecting the product to electric energy saving systems is risky as it may
cause damage on 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 your refrigerator open for a long time.
- Do not put hot food or drinks in your refrigerator.
- Do not overload the refrigerator. Cooling capacity will fall when the air circulation inside is hindered.
- Do not place the refrigerator in places subject to direct sunlight. Install the product at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, heater cores and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
- Pay attention to store your food in refrigerator in closed containers.

Declared energy consumption value of the refrigerator was determined with the freezer compartment drawers removed, except if the available bottom drawer and with the 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 savings 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 -5°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.
