Energy Saving Tips
1- Ensure your appliance is installed in
a well ventilated area.
2- Ensure the time between buying
chilled/frozen food and placing them
in your appliance is kept at minimum,
particularly in summer. We recommend
you use a cool bag or a special carrier
bag to carry frozen food.
3- Do not leave the door (s) of your
appliance open longer than necessary
and ensure they are closed properly
after each opening.
4- Defrost frozen food in the fridge
compartment, so that frozen food acts
as an ice pack to assist cooling in the
fridge.

3 Installation
2. You can install the 2 plastic wedges
as illustrated in the figure. Plastic
wedges will provide the required
distance between your refrigerator
and the wall in order to allow the air
circulation. (The illustrated figure is
only an example and does not match
exactly with your product.)
B Please remember that the
manufacturer shall not be held liable if
the information given in the instruction
manual is not observed.
Points to be considered
when re-transporting your
refrigerator
1. Your refrigerator must be emptied and
cleaned prior to any transportation.
2. Shelves, accessories, crisper and etc.
in your refrigerator must be fastened
securely by adhesive tape against any
jolt before repackaging.
3. Packaging must be tied with thick
tapes and strong ropes and the
rules of transportation printed on the
package must be followed.
3. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as
recommended in the “Maintenance
and cleaning” section.
Please do not forget…
Every recycled material is an
indispensable source for the nature and
for our national resources.
Ifyouwishtocontributetorecyclingthe
packaging materials, you can get further
information from the environmental
bodies or local authorities.
4. Plug the refrigerator into the wall
outlet. When the fridge door is open
the fridge compartment interior light
will come on.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid 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.
Before operating your
refrigerator
Before starting to use your refrigerator
check the following:
1. Is the interior of the refrigerator dry
and can the air circulate freely in the
rear of it?
6. Front edges of the refrigerator may
feel warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
Electric connection
Connect your product to a grounded
socket which is being protected by a
fuse with the appropriate capacity.
Important:

electric shock!
3. There must be appropriate air
ventilation around your refrigerator in
order to achieve an efficient operation.
If the refrigerator is to be placed in
a recess in the wall, there must be at
least 5 cm distance with the ceiling and
at least 5 cm with the wall.
If the floor is covered with a carpet,
your product must be elevated 2.5 cm
from the floor.
Disposing of the packaging
The packing materials may be
dangerous for children. Keep the
packing materials out of the reach
of children or dispose them of by
classifying them in accordance
with the waste instructions. Do not
dispose them of along with the normal
household waste.
The packing of your refrigerator is
produced from recyclable materials.
4. Place your refrigerator on an even
floor surface to prevent jolts.
5. Do not keep your refrigerator in
ambient temperatures under 10°C.
Disposing of your old
refrigerator
Dispose of your old machine without
giving any harm to the environment.
• You may consult your authorized
dealer or waste collection center of
your municipality about the disposal of
your refrigerator.
Before disposing of your refrigerator,
cut out the electric plug and, if there
are any locks on the door, make them
inoperable in order to protect children
against any danger.

Defrosting of the appliance
• Use a sponge or a soft cloth to
remove thawing water if necessary.
• Excessive build-up of ice will affect
the freezing performance of your
appliance.
• Keep the door open during defrosting.
• For quicker defrosting, place
containers with warm water inside the
appliance.
• It is therefore recommended that you
defrost your appliance at least twice
a year, or whenever the ice build-up
exceeds 7 mm.
• Never use electrical devices,
defrosting sprays or pointed or sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks
to remove the ice.
• Defrost your appliance when there is
only little or no food in it.
• After the defrosting is done, clean the
inside (see the section ‘Cleaning and
care’).
• Take out the deep-frozen food from
the drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen
food in several layers of paper, or a
blanket, and keep it in a cold place.
• Reconnect the appliance to the
mains. Place the frozen food into the
drawers and slide the drawers into the
freezer.
• Unplug the appliance or switch off the
circuit breaker to start the defrosting
process.
