4.1. What to do for energy saving
A
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.
• 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.
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.

inside for 6 and do not open the door, unless
absolutely necessary.

up. This is normal. These areas are
designed to warm up in order to prevent
condensation.
