5 Preliminary preparation
5.1.What to do for
energy saving
A
Connecting the product
to electronic energy-saving
systems is harmful, as it may
damage the product.
For a freestanding appliance; ‘this
refrigerating appliance is not intended
to be used as a built-in appliance.
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 load the maximum quantity
of food into the cooler compartment
of your refrigerator, the upper drawers
should be taken out and the food
should be placed onto the wire/glass
shelves. Net volume and energy
consumption information declared in
the energy label of your refrigerator
was tested by taking out the upper
drawers in the cooler department
and the ice bucket, which is easily
removable by hand.
Food packages should not be in direct
contact with the heat sensor located
in the cooler compartment. The food
should be 10 cm away from the sensor.
In case of contact with the sensor,
energy consumption of the device may
increase.
10 cm
5.2.First Use

7 Maintenance and cleaning
Cleanng your frdge at regular nter-
vals wll extend the servce lfe of the
product.
B WARNING:
Unplug the product before cleanng t.
Never use gasolne, benzene or
smlar substances for cleanng
purposes.
Never use any sharp and abrasve
tools, soap, household cleaners,
detergent and wax polsh for
cleanng.
For non-No Frost products,
water drops and frostng up to a
fngerbreadth occur on the rear wall
of the Frdge compartment. Do not
clean t; never apply ol or smlar
agents on t.
Only use slghtly damp mcrofber
cloths to clean the outer surface of
the product. Sponges and other types
of cleanng cloths may scratch the
surface
Dssolve one teaspoon of b-
carbonate n half ltre of water. Soak
a cloth wth the soluton and wrung t
thoroughly. Wpe the nteror of the
refrgerator wth ths cloth and the
dry thoroughly.
Make sure that no water enters the
lamp housng and other electrcal
tems.
If you wll not use the refrgerator
for a long perod of tme, unplug t,
remove all food nsde, clean t and
leave the door ajar.
Check regularly that the door gaskets
are clean. If not, clean them.
To remove door and body shelves,
remove all of ts contents.
Remove the door shelves by pullng
them up. After cleanng, slde them
from top to bottom to nstall.
Never use cleanng agents or water
that contan chlorne to clean the
outer surfaces and chromum coated
parts of the product. Chlorne causes
corroson on such metal surfaces.
7.1 Avoiding bad odours
Materals that may cause odour
are not used n the producton of
our refrgerators. However, due
to napproprate food preservng
condtons and not cleanng the
nner surface of the refrgerator as
requred can brng forth the problem
of odour. Pay attenton to followng
to avod ths problem:
Keepng the refrgerator clean s
mportant. Food resduals, stans, etc.
can cause odour. Therefore, clean
the refrgerator wth b-carbonate
dssolved n water every few months.
Never use detergents or soap.
Keep the food n closed contaners.
Mcroorgansms spreadng out from
uncovered contaners can cause
unpleasant odours.
Never keep the food that have
passed best before dates and spoled
n the refrgerator.
7.2 Protecting the
plastic surfaces
Do not put lqud ols or ol-cooked meals
n your refrgerator n unsealed conta-
ners as they damage the plastc surfaces
