4 Preparation
• For a freestanding appliance;
‘this refrigerating appliance is not
intended to be used as a built-in
appliance’ .
• 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 -15°C.
Operating your refrigerator under
colder conditions than this is not
recommended.
• 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
transportations 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.
