4 Preparation
4.1. What to do for
energy saving
A
Connecting the product to electronic
energy-saving systems is harmful, as it
may damage the product.
• 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.
• To be able store maximum food in the freezer
compartment of your refrigerator, the upper
drawers have to be removed and placed on
top of wire rack. The net volume and energy
consumption values specified in the energy
label of the refrigerator was tested after
removing the freezer compartment’s upper
shelf and the ice container which can easily
be removed manually. Using the lower drawer
while loading is highly recommended.
• 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.
• Depending on the product’s features;
defrosting frozen foods in the cooler
compartment will ensure energy saving and
preserve food quality.
• Make sure the foods are not in contact with
the cooler compartment temperature sensor
described below.
• Food must be stored in drawers inside the
cooler compartment in order to provide energy
saving and preserve the food in a better
ambient.
• Prevent direct contact between the
temperature sensor in the freezer compartment
and the food packages. Energy consumption
may increase in case of a contact with the
sensor.
4.2. First use
Before using your refrigerator, make sure the
necessary preparations are made in line with
the instructions in “Safety and environment
instructions” and “Installation” sections.
• Keep the product running with no food inside
for 6 hours and do not open the door, unless
absolutely necessary.
C
A sound will be heard when the
compressor is engaged. It is normal to
hear sound even when the compressor is
inactive, due to the compressed liquids and
gasses in the cooling system.
C
It is normal for the front edges of the
refrigerator to be warm. These areas are
designed to warm up in order to prevent
condensation.
C
In some models, indicator panel is dimmed
automatically 5 minutes after the door is
closed. It will be activated again when the
door is opened or any key is pressed.

5.13. Freezing fresh food
• To preserve food quality, the food items placed
in the freezer compartment must be frozen as
quickly as possible, use the rapid freezing for
this.
• Freezing the food items when fresh will extend
the storage time in the freezer compartment.
• Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal
tightly.
• Make sure the food items are packed before
putting in the freezer. Use freezer holders,
tinfoil and damp-proof paper, plastic bag
or similar packaging materials instead of
traditional packaging paper.
• Mark each food pack by writing the date on the
package before freezing. This will allow you to
determine the freshness of each pack every
time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier
food items in the front to ensure they are used
first.
• Frozen food items must be used immediately
after defrosting and should not be frozen again.
• Do not froze large quantities of food at once.

B
WARNING: It is recommended
to clean the condenser every six
months using gloves. You must not
use vacuum cleaners.
• 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 other 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.

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

6 Care and Cleaning
29 / 38 EN
Refrigerator / User Manual
6 Care and Cleaning
Sponges and other types of cleaning cloths
may scratch the surface.
6.1. Avoiding Bad Odours
Materials that may cause odour are not used in
the production of our refrigerators. However, odour
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
odour. 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 odours.
• Never keep expired or spoiled foods in your
refrigerator.
6.2. Protection of
plastic surfaces
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.
6.3. Cleaning the Inner Surface
To clean the inner surfaces and all removable
parts, wash them with a mild solution comprising
soap, water and carbonate. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Prevent the water from contacting the
lighting means and control panel.
A
ATTENTION:
Do not use vinegar, rubbing
alcohol or other alcohol-based
cleaning agents on any of the
inner surfaces.
6.4. Stainless Steel
Outer Surfaces
Use a stainless steel cleaning agent that is non-
abrasive and apply it with a lint-free, soft cloth.
For polishing, wipe the surface softly with a damp
microfiber cloth and use dry wash-leather. Always
follow the strands of the stainless steel.
6.5. Cleaning Products
with Glass Doors
Remove the protection foil on the glass.
There is a coating on the surface of the glass.
This coating minimises stain formation and
ensures that stains and dirt are cleaned
easily. Glasses that are not protected by a coating
might be exposed to permanent bonding of organic
or inorganic, air or waterborne pollutants such as
limescale, mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons,
metal oxides an silicons, which lead to stains and
physical damage in a short time. Despite regular
washing, the glass becomes very hard to keep
clean, though not impossible. As a result, the
clarity and good appearance of the glass reduces.
Hard and abrasive cleaning compounds and
methods increase these defects even further and
accelerate the deterioration process.
*Non-alkali, non-abrasive and water-based
cleaning products must be used for routing
cleaning procedures.
For the coating to have long service life, alkali
or abrasive substances must not be used during
cleaning processes.
These glasses were subject to a tempering
process to increase their impact and breakage
resistance.
As an additional safety measure, there is a safety
film on the back surfaces of the glasses to ensure
that they will not harm the environment in case of
breakage.
