4 Preparation

4.1. What to do for energy saving

Connecting the product to electronic energy-saving systems is harmful, as it may damage the product.

• 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.
• The energy consumption value specified for the refrigerator was measured with the freezer compartment's upper shelf removed, other shelves and the lowest drawers in place and under maximum load. The top glass shelf can be used, depending on the shape and size of food to be frozen.
  Depending on the product's features; defrosting frozen foods in the cooler compartment will ensure energy saving and preserve 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.
  Make sure the foods are not in contact with the cooler compartment temperature sensor described below.

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.

i	A sound will be heard when the compressor is engaged. It is normal to hear sound even when the compressor is inactive, due to the compressed liquids and gasses in the cooling system.
i	It is normal for the front edges of the refrigerator to be warm. These areas are designed to warm up in order to prevent condensation.

i	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.

You can expand the product's internal volume by removing any of the zero degree compartments. To remove the compartment, simply pull forth, lift up and pull out.

5.6. Vegetable bin

The refrigerator's vegetable bin is designed to keep vegetables fresh by preserving humidity. For this purpose, the overall cold air circulation is intensified in the vegetable bin.

The ionizer system in the cooler compartment's air duct serves to ionize the air. The negative ion emissions will eliminate bacteria and other molecules causing odour in the air.

5.9. Odour filter

(optional)

The odour filter in the cooler compartment's air duct will prevent undesirable odour formation.

5.10. Ice-maker

(Optional)

Ice maker is located on the upper section of the freezer cover.

OPERATION

To remove the ice reservoir

Hold the ice stock reservoir from the handles, then move up and pull the ice stock reservoir. (Figure 1)

To reinstall the ice reservoir

Hold the ice stock reservoir from the handles, move up with an angle to fit the sides of the reservoir to their slot and make sure that the ice selector pin is mounted properly. (Figure 2)

Push downwards firmly, until there is no space left between the reservoir and the door plastic. (Figure 2) If you have difficulty in refitting the reservoir, turn the rotary gear 90^ and reinstall it as shown in the figure3. Any sound you hear when the ice drops into the reservoir is a part of normal operation.

Using the product

When the ice dispenser does not work properly

If you do not remove ice cubes for a long time, they will cause formation of ice chunks. In this case, please remove the ice stock reservoir in accordance with the instructions given above, seperate the ice chunks, discard the inseparable ice and put the ice cubes back into the ice stock reservoir. (Figure 4)

When ice does not come out, check for any ice stuck in the canal and remove it. Regularly check the ice canal to clear the obstacles as shown in the figure 5.

When using your refrigerator for the first time or when not using it for an extended period of time ice cubes may be small due to air in the pipe after connection, any air will be purged during normal use.

Discard the ice produced for approximately one day since the water pipe may contain the contaminants.

Caution!

Do not insert the hand or any other object into the ice canal and blade since it may damage the parts or hurt the hand.

Do not let the children hang on the ice dispenser or the ice maker since it may cause an injury

To prevent dropping the ice stock reservoir use both hands when removing it.

If you close the door hard, it may cause water spilling over the ice stock reservoir.

Do not dismount the ice stock reservoir unless it is necessary.

Using the product

5.11. Freezing fresh food

• To preserve food quality, the food items placed in the freezer compartment must be frozen as quickly as possible, use the rapid freezing for this.
  Freezing the food items when fresh will extend the storage time in the freezer compartment.
• Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal tightly.
• Make sure the food items are packed before putting in the freezer. Use freezer holders, tinfoil and damp-proof paper, plastic bag or similar packaging materials instead of traditional packaging paper.
• Mark each food pack by writing the date on the package before freezing. This will allow you to determine the freshness of each pack every time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier food items in the front to ensure they are used first.
• Frozen food items must be used immediately after defrosting and should not be frozen again.
• Do not free large quantities of food at once.

5.12. Recommendations for storing frozen foods

The compartment must be set to at least -18^ .

1. Place the food items in the freezer as quickly as possible to avoid defrosting.
2. Before freezing, check the "Expiry Date" on the package to make sure it is not expired.
3. Make sure the food's packaging is not damaged.

5.13. Deep freezer details

Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below temperature of -18^ . You can keep the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer at or below temperatures of 18^ ).

The food items to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting.

Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer.

Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and similar food items should not be frozen. Freezing these food items will simply reduce the nutritional value and food quality, as well as possible spoiling which is harmful to health.
