4.1. What to do for energy saving
Connecting the product to electronic
A
energy-saving systems is harmful, as
it may damage the product.
• For a freestanding appliance; 'this
refrigerating appliance is not intended to
be used as a built-in appliance' .
• Do not keep the refrigerator doors open
for long periods.
• Do not place hot food or beverages into
the refrigerator.
• Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking
the internal air flow will reduce cooling
capacity.
• In order to store the maximum amount of
food into the cooler compartment of your
refrigerator, you should take out the upper
drawers and place it onto the glass rack.
The declared energy consumption of your
refrigerator was determined by taking out
the cooler, ice tray and upper drawers in
a way that will enable maximum storage.
Using the below drawer when storing is
strongly recommended. Energy saving
function should be activated for best
energy consumption.
• You should not block the airflow by
putting food in front of the cooler fan.
A space of minimum 3cm must be left
in front of the protective fan wire when
placing food.
• Depending on the product's features;
defrosting frozen foods in the cooler
compartment will ensure energy saving
and preserve food quality.
• Food should be stored using the drawers
in the cooler compartment in order to
ensure energy saving and protect food in
better conditions.
• Food packages should not be in direct
contact with the heat sensor located
in the cooler compartment. If they
are in contact with the sensor, energy
consumption of the appliance might
increase.
• Make sure the foods are not in
contact with the cooler compartment
temperature sensor described below.
• 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.
4.2. First Use
Before using your refrigerator, make sure the
necessary preparations are made in line with
the instructions in "Safety and environment
instructions" and "Installation" sections.
• Keep the product running with no food
inside for 6 and do not open the door,
unless absolutely necessary.
