Preparation
• Your cooler/freezer 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.
• Please make sure that the interior
of your cooler/freezer is cleaned
thoroughly.
• If two coolers are to be installed side
by side, there should be at least 2 cm
distance between them.
• When you operate your cooler/freezer
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the initial
six hours.
• Its door should not be opened
frequently.
• It must be operated empty without
placing any food in it.
• Do not unplug your cooler/freezer.
If a power failure occurs out of your
control, please see the warnings in
the "Recommended solutions for the
problems" section.
• 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.
• This product has been designed to
function at ambient temperatures
up to 43 °C (90 SDgrF). Even if the
ambient temperature falls to -15
°C, frozen food in the freezer does
not thaw thanks to its Advanced
Electronic Temperature Control
System. For the first installation, the
product should NOT be placed under
low ambient temperatures. This is
because the freezer cannot go down
to standard operation temperature.
When reaching continuous operation,
the product can be moved to
another place. Thus, later you can
place your product in the garage
or an unheated room without the
concern of causing frozen food to
get rotten. However, it is likely that
above mentioned low temperatures
may cause the freezing of the food in
the fridge compartment; thus, please
consume the food items in the fridge
in a controlled way as needed. When
ambient temperature goes back
to normal, you may change button
setting according to your need.
• If the ambient temperature is below
0°C, the food in fridge compartment
will freeze. Therefore, we recommend
not using the fridge compartment
in such low ambient temperatures.
You may continue to use the freezer
compartment as usual.
• 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.
