4. Preparation

4.1 Things to be done

for energy saving

A

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.

• Please use provided 2

pieces of cold packs (PCM)

at recommended places

in the figure below when

storing foodstuffs in freezer

compartments.It also helps to

keep your foodstuffs colder for

longer when electricity is off or

your appliance is unplugged.

Temperature rise time is

declared with cold packs in use.

• Use of cold packs ( PCM )as

illustrated below is advised to

improve energy efficiency of your

appliance as declared on energy

label.

C

The ambient

temperature of the

room where you

install the refrigerator

should at least be

-15°C. Operating your

refrigerator at colder

conditions than -15°C

is not recommended.

C

Inside of your

refrigerator must be

cleaned thoroughly.

C

If two coolers are to be

installed side by side,

there should be at least

4 cm distance between

them.

4.2 Initial use

Before starting to use the product,

check that all preparations are

made in accordance with the

instructions in sections “Important

instructions for safety and

environment” and “Installation”.

• Clean the interior of the

refrigerator as recommended in

the “Maintenance and cleaning”

section. Check that inside of it is

dry before operating it.

• Plug the refrigerator into the

grounded wall outlet. When

the door is opened the interior

illumination will turn on.

• Run the refrigerator without

putting any food for 6 hours

and do not open its door unless

certainly required.

C

You will hear a noise

when the compressor

starts up. The liquids and

gases sealed within the

refrigeration system may

also give rise to noise,

even if the compressor

is not running and this is

quite normal.

C

Front edges of the

refrigerator may feel

warm. This is normal.

These areas are designed

to be warm to avoid

condensation.

C

Such loading will

result in higher energy

consumption and

worsen freezer storage

performance of your

appliance.

5.2 Dual cooling system

Your cooler/freezer is equipped

with three separate cooling

systems to cool the fresh food

compartment, frozen food

compartment and multi zone

compartment. Thus, air and odour

in the fresh food compartment

and frozen food compartment do

not get mixed. Thanks to these

two separate cooling systems,

cooling speed is much higher

then other cooler/freezers. Also

additional power saving is provided

since the defrosting is performed

individually.

5.3 Freezing fresh food

• Wrap the food or place them in a

covered container before putting

them in the cooler/freezer.

• Hot food and beverages

must cool down to the room

temperature before putting

them in the cooler/freezer.

• The food that you want to freeze

must be fresh and in good

quality.

• Divided the food into portions

according to your family’s daily

or meal based consumption

needs.

• Pack the food in an airtight

manner to prevent them from

drying even if they are going to

be stored for a short time.

• Materials to be used for

packaging must be tear-proof

and resistant to cold, humidity,

odour, oils and acids and they

must also be airtight. Moreover,

they must be well closed and

they must be made from easy-

to-use materials that are

suitable for deep-freezers.

• Take special care not to mix

already frozen food and fresh

food.(They should not to be

allowed to come in contact with

the previously frozen items to

prevent their partial thawing.)

• Frozen food must be used

immediately after they are

thawed and they should never

be re-frozen.

• Do not freeze too large

quantities of food at one time.

The quality of the food is best

preserved when it is frozen right

through to the core as quickly as

possible.

• Placing warm food into the

freezer compartment causes

the cooling system to operate

continuously until the food is

frozen solid.

19

IT

BG

• Maximum frozen food storage

volume is achieved without

using the drawers and the

upper shelf cover provided

in the freezer compartment.

Energy consumption of your

appliance is declared while the

freezer compartment is fully

loaded on shelves without the

use of the drawers and upper

shelf cover. Use the given

wire shelf at the bottom of

the freezer compartment for

a better energy consumption

performance.

• It is recommended that you

place foodstuffs on top shelf of

freezer for initial freezing.
