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.
Please do not forget…
Every recycled material is an indispensable
source for the nature and for our national
resources.
If you wish to contribute to recycling the
packaging materials, you can get further
information from the environmental bodies
or local authorities.
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?
2. Please 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.)
3. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as
recommended in the “Maintenance and
cleaning” section.
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.
6. Front edges of the refrigerator may
feel warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
EN

• The connection must be in compliance
with national regulations.
• The power cable plug must be easily
accessible after installation.
• The specified voltage must be equal to
your mains voltage.
• Extension cables and multiway plugs must
not be used for connection.
B A damaged power cable must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.

repaired! There is danger of electric shock!
Disposing of the packaging
The packing materials may be dangerous
for children. Keep the packing materials out
of the reach of children or dispose of them
by classifying them in accordance with the
waste instructions. Do not dispose of them
along with the normal household waste.
The packing of your refrigerator is

Disposing of your old
refrigerator
Dispose of your old refrigerator without
giving any harm to the environment.
• You may consult your authorised 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.
Placing and Installation
A If the entrance door of the room where
the refrigerator will be installed is not wide
enough for the refrigerator to pass through,
then call the authorised service to have
them remove the doors of your refrigerator
and pass it sideways through the door.
1. Install your refrigerator to a place that
allows ease of use.
2. Keep your refrigerator away from heat
sources, humid places and direct sunlight.
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.

Freezing fresh food
• Wrap or cover the food before placing
them in the refrigerator.
• Hot food must cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in the
refrigerator.
• The foodstuff that you want to freeze must
be fresh and in good quality.
• Foodstuff must be divided into portions
according to the family’s daily or meal
based consumption needs.
• The foodstuff must be packaged in an
airtight manner to prevent them from
drying even if they are going to be kept for
a short time.
• Materials to be used for packaging
must be tear-proof and resistant to cold,
humidity, odor, oils and acids and they
must also be airtight. Moreover, they
must be well closed and they must be
made from easy-to-use materials that are
suitable for deep freeze usage.
• Frozen food must be used immediately
after they are thawed and they should
never be re-frozen.
• Please observe the following instructions
to obtain the best results.
1. Do not freeze too large quantities of food
at one time. The quality of the food is best
preserved when it is frozen right through
to the core as quickly as possible.
2. Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the cooling system
to operate continuously until the food is
frozen solid.
3. Take special care not to mix already frozen
food and fresh food.

frozen food manufacturer's instructions
for a ( 4 star) frozen food storage
compartment.
• To ensure that the high quality achieved by
the frozen food manufacturer and the food
retailer is maintained, the following should
be remembered:

possible after purchase.
2. Ensure that contents are labeled and
dated.
3. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before"
dates on the packaging.

Water Dispenser
(in some models)
Water dispenser is a very useful feature
based on reaching cold water without
opening the door of your refrigerator. As you
will not have to open your refrigerator door
frequently, you will have saved energy.
Filling the water dispenser's tank
Water tank filling reservoir is located inside
the door rack. Open the reservoir cover and
fill in clean potable water. And then, close
the lid.
Using the water spring
Push the arm of the water dispenser
with your glass. The dispenser will cease
operating once you release the arm.
When operating the water dispenser,
maximum flow can be obtained by pressing
the arm fully. Please remember that the
amount of flow from the dispenser is subject
to the degree you press the arm.
As the level of the water in your glass/
container rises, slightly lessen the pressure
on the arm to prevent the overspill. If you
slightly press the arm, the water will drip;
this is quite normal and not a failure.
Warning!
• Do not fill the water tank with any other
liquid except for water such as fruit
juices, carbonated beverages or alcoholic
drinks which are not suitable to use in
the water dispenser. Water dispenser will
be irreparably damaged if these kinds of
liquids are used. Warranty does not cover
