4 Preliminary 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.

• For a freestanding appliance; 'this refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.
• Do not keep the freezer doors open for long periods.
• Do not place hot food or beverages into the freezer.
• Do not overfill the freezer; blocking the internal air flow will reduce cooling capacity.
• Food packages should not be in direct contact with the heat sensor located in the freezer compartment. The food should be 10 cm away from the sensor. In case of contact with the sensor, energy consumption of the device may increase.

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 without placing any food inside for 6 hours and do not open the door, unless absolutely necessary.
• The temperature change caused by opening and closing of the door while using the product may normally lead to frost deposit, icing and condensation on food placed on door/body shelves and glass containers placed in the product.

	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.
	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.
	For some models, indicator panel turns off automatically 1 minutes after the door closes. It will be reactivated when the door is open or any button is pressed.

4 Preliminary preparation

- 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.

5.3 Recommendations for preservation of frozen food

• Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions in a frozen food storage compartment.

• To ensure that the high quality supplied by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, following points should be noted:

• Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

• Ensure that contents of the package are labeled and dated.
• Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.

5.4 Deep-freeze information

Food must be frozen as rapidly as possible when they are put in the freezer in order to keep them in good quality.

It is possible to preserve the food for a long time only at 0^ F or lower temperatures.

You can keep the freshness of food for many months (at 0°F or lower temperatures in the deep freeze).

WARNING!

• Foodstuff must be divided into portions according to the family's daily or meal based consumption needs.
• Foodstuff must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be kept for a short time.

Materials necessary for packaging:

• Cold resistant adhesive tape
- Self-adhesive label
- Rubber rings
- Pen

Materials to be used for packaging the foodstuff must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, dour, oils and acids.

Foodstuff to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent their partial thawing. Thawed out food must be consumed and must not be frozen again.

6 Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning your refrigerator / freezer at regular intervals will extend the service life of the product.

WARNING:

Unplug the product before cleaning it.

• Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.
• Never use any sharp and abrasive tools, soap, household cleaners, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
• For non-No Frost products, water drops and frosting up to a fingerbreadth occur on the rear wall of the Fridge compartment. Do not clean it; never apply oil or similar agents on it.
• Only use slightly damp microfiber cloths to clean the outer surface of the product. Sponges and other types of cleaning cloths may scratch the surface
• Dissolve one teaspoon of bi-carbonate in half litre of water. Soak a cloth with the solution and wrung it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator with this cloth and the dry thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.
• If you will not use the refrigerator for a long period of time, unplug it, remove all food inside, clean it and leave the door ajar.
• Check regularly that the door gaskets are clean. If not, clean them.

• To remove door and body shelves, remove all of its contents.

• Remove the door shelves by pulling them up. After cleaning, slide them from top to bottom to install.

• Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the outer surfaces and chromium coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes corrosion on such metal surfaces.

6.1 Avoiding bad odours

• Materials that may cause odour are not used in the production of our refrigerators. However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of the refrigerator as required can bring forth the problem of odour. Pay attention to following to avoid this problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean is important. Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odour. Therefore, clean the refrigerator with bi-carbonate dissolved in water every few months. Never use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed containers. Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odours.
• Never keep the food that have passed best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.

6.2 Protecting the plastic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.

7 Troubleshooting

Please review this list before calling the service. This will save you time and money. This list contains frequently encountered problems that are not results of faulty workmanship or material use. Your product may not have some of the features described here.

The refrigerator is not operating.

• It may not be plugged in properly.

  Plug in the product properly.

• The fuse of the socket to which your refrigerator is connected or the main fuse may have blown.

  Check the fuse.

Condensation on the side wall of the fridge compartment (MULTI ZONE, COOL CONTROL and FLEXI ZONE).

• The door may have been opened/closed frequently. >>> Do not open/close the refrigerator door frequently.
• The environment may be too humid. >>>Do not install the refrigerator at locations with a very high level of humidity.
• Foods containing liquid may have been placed into the refrigerator in vessels without covers. >>>Do not place foods containing liquid into the refrigerator in unsealed vessels.
• Door of the refrigerator may have been left ajar. >>>Do not keep the doors of your refrigerator open for a long time.
• The thermostat may have been set to a very cold level. >>>Set the thermostat to an appropriate level.

The compressor is not operating.

• Protective thermal of the compressor will blow out during sudden power failures or plug-out plug-ins as the refrigerant pressure in the cooling system of the refrigerator has not been balanced yet. The refrigerator will start running approximately after 6 minutes. Please call the Authorised Service Provider if the refrigerator does not start at the end of this period.
• The freezer is in defrosting cycle. >>>This is normal for a refrigerator that performs full-automatic defrosting. Defrosting cycle is performed periodically.
• The refrigerator may not be plugged in. >>>Make sure that the plug fits the socket.
• Temperature settings may be incorrect. >>>Select the correct temperature value.
• Possible power failure. >>>The refrigerator will start to operate normally when power restores.

The operation noise increases when the refrigerator is running.
