4.1. Things to be done
for energy saving
Connecting the product to electric
A
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.
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.
In order to store maximum amount
of food in the freezer compartment,
the icematic, available in the freezer
compartment and easily removable by
hand, shall be taken out. Net volume and
energy consumption values declared on
the power data plate of your refrigerator
are measured and tested by removing
the icematic. Do not remove the shelves
inside the freezer compartment and on
the door of freezer compartment shall not
be removed and they shall always be used
they provide ease of use and efficiency in
energy consumption.
Airflow should not be blocked by placing
foods on the sides of the freezer
compartment fan. A minimum distance
of 3 cm shall be provided on the sides of
protective fan cover.
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. Functions and
components such as compressor, fan,
heater, defrost, lighting, display and so
on will operate according to the needs to
consume minimum energy under these
circumstances.
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.
Depending on the features of your
product, thawing frozen food in fridge
compartment will both provide energy
saving and preserve the food quality.
Do not allow contact of the food with the
fridge compartment temperature sensor
shown in the figure below.
4.2. Initial use
Before starting to use your refrigerator,
ensure that all preparations are made in
accordance with the instructions in sections
"Instructions for safety and environment"
and "Installation".
Run the product 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 product may
feel warm. This is normal. These
areas are designed to be warm to
avoid condensation.
C
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.
