saving systems is risky as it may cause
damage on the product.

open for a long time.
• Do not put hot food or drinks in your
refrigerator.

capacity will fall when the air circulation inside
is hindered.

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.
• Store your food in refrigerator in closed
containers.

freezer compartment of the refrigerator by
removing the freezer compartment shelf of

of the refrigerator was determined with the
freezer compartment shelf or drawer removed
and with maximum amount of food loaded.
There is no risk in using a shelf or drawer
suitable for the shapes and sizes of the foods
to be frozen.
• Thawing frozen food in fridge compartment
will both provide energy saving and preserve
the food quality.

where you install the refrigerator
should at least be 10°C. Operating your
refrigerator under cooler conditions than
this is not recommended.
C
Inside of your refrigerator must be
cleaned.

If two coolers are to be installed side
by side, there should be at least 4 cm
distance between them.
4.2. Efficient operation
Specified energy consumption value of your
refrigerator is determined under maximum load by
removing the freezer compartment upper rack and
while other racks and two bottom drawers are in
place. There is no harm to use a shelf or drawer
according to the shapes and size of food to be
frozen.
