• 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 in the refrigerator is hindered.
• Do not place the refrigerator in places subject to direct sunlight.
Install the product at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs,
ovens, heater units and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• Pay attention to store your food in refrigerator in closed containers.
• You can remove the drawer shelf of the freezer compartment to fill
the freezer compartment with maximum amount of food.
The given energy consumption value of the refrigerator has been determined
with the freezer compartment shelf or the drawer removed and the refrigerator
filled with maximum amount of food.
There is no harm in using a shelf or drawer according to the shapes and
sizes of food to be frozen.
• Thawing the frozen foods in the fridge compartment both saves energy
and reserves the quality of the foods
C
Temperature of the room where your refrigerator is
located should at least be 10ºC/50°F. Operating your
refrigerator under cooler conditions is not recommended
with regard to its efficiency
C
If two coolers are to be installed side by side, there
should be at least 4 cm distance between them
• Make sure that the food does not touch the temperature sensor
in fresh food compartment.
To allow the fresh food compartment to keep its ideal storage temperature,
the sensor must not be hindered by food.
• Do not pl
ace hot foods or beverages inside the product.

Service life of the product will extend and frequently encountered problems will
decrease if the product is cleaned periodically.
Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.
Never use any sharp abrasive instruments, soap, household cleaners,
detergent or wax polish for cleaning.
Dissolve one teaspoon of carbonate in half liter of water Soak a cloth in the
solution and wring it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator with this
cloth and the dry thoroughly.
Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing or othe
r electrical parts.
If you will not use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it, remove all food
inside, clean it and leave the door ajar.
Check regularly that the door gaskets are clean. If not, clean them.
Take out all items in the product to remove the door and body shelves.
Remove the door shelves by pulling them up. Slide the shelves downwards to
re-install them after cleaning.
Never use chloric cleaning agents or water to clean outer surfaces or chrome-
coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes abrasion on such metal surfaces.
Materials that may cause odor are not used in the production of our
refrigerators. However, odor may be emitted if foods are stored improperly or
if the inner surface of the product is not cleaned as required.
Please consider the following to avoid this problem:
It is important that the refrigerator is kept clean.
Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odor.
For this reason, clean your refrigerator with carbonate solved
in water every 15 days. Never use detergents or soap.
Keep your foods in closed vessels. Microorganisms emitted from vessels
without a cover may cause unpleasant odors.
Never keep expired or spoiled foods in your refrigerator.
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed
containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator.
If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and
rinse the relevant part of the surface with warm water immediately.

7.1 WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
In refrigerators, run 2 gallons of water to remove air from the system.
A newly installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt and
dribble until the air is out of the system.
In freezers, the icemaker may not immediately produce ice.
Initial ice may be irregularly shaped.
Discard the first bin of ice to allow air to purge from the system.
A newly installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt into the
icemaker body, which could lead to ice droplets around
the icemaker area.
To reset the water filter usage, press the SELECT button
for 5 seconds to reset.
C
It is normal for these droplets
and initial ice production to appear discolored
during the initial system flush.
Ice color will return to normal after the first bin
of ice production.
