4. Preparation

4.1 Things to be done for energy saving

Connecting the product to electric energy saving systems is risky as it may cause damage on the product.

• Do not leave the doors of your refrigerator open for a long time. When doors are open, warm air enters the fridge/freezer cabinets and the appliance consumes more energy to cool down the foodstuffs.
• Do not put hot food or drinks in your refrigerator.
• Do not overload the refrigerator. Cooling capacity will fall when the air circulation inside is hindered.
• Do not place the refrigerator in places subject to direct sunlight. Install the product at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, heater cores and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Pay attention to store your food in refrigerator in closed containers.

- 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.

- You can load maximum amount of food to the freezer compartment of the refrigerator by removing the freezer compartment drawers. Declared energy consumption value of the refrigerator was determined with the freezer compartment drawers and top compartment flap removed and given wire shelf is used at the bottom of the freezer compartment for maximum amount of food loaded. Drawers can be used for food storage when needed, which may be more comfortable depending on the shape and size of the food.

- Thawing frozen food in fridge compartment will both provide energy saving and preserve the food quality.

- Do not block the freezer fan grill by placing foods in front.

	The ambient temperature of the room where you install the refrigerator should at least be -5°C. Operating your refrigerator at colder conditions than -5°C is not recommended.
	Inside of your refrigerator must be cleaned thoroughly.
	If two coolers are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 4 cm distance between them.

4.2 Initial use
