BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
WAYS TO SAVE ENERGY
WARNING
Connecting your refrigerator to an energy
saving system is dangerous, as this may
damage your appliance.
•
Do not leave the doors of your refrigerator open for a
long time.
•
Do not put hot food or drinks into your refrigerator.
•
Do not overload the refrigerator. Cooling capacity will fall
when air circulation in the refrigerator is obstructed.
•
Do not place the refrigerator in direct sunlight. Install the
product at least 30 cm (12") away from heat sources
such as hobs, ovens, heater units and stoves and at
least 5 cm (2") away from electric ovens.
•
Be sure to store your food in closed containers inside the
refrigerator.
•
You can remove the drawer shelf in the freezer
compartment in order to fill the freezer compartment with
the maximum amount of food. The appliance's provided
energy consumption value has been determined with the
freezer compartment shelf or drawer removed and with
the refrigerator filled with the maximum amount of food.
There is no harm in choosing to use a shelf or drawer
based on the shapes and sizes of the food to be frozen.
•
Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment both
saves energy and preserves the quality of the foods.
NOTE
The temperature in the room where your
refrigerator is located should at least be
10℃ (50℉). Operating your refrigerator in
cooler conditions is not recommended, in
terms of its efficiency.
NOTE
The inside of your refrigerator must be kept
perfectly clean.
NOTE
If two refrigerators are to be installed side
by side, there should be at least 4 cm
(1 1/2 ") distance between them.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FRESH FOOD
COMPARTMENT
•
Make sure that the food does not touch the temperature
sensor in the fresh food compartment. To allow the fresh
food compartment to maintain its ideal storage
temperature, the sensor must not be obstructed by food
items.
•
Do not place hot foods or beverages inside the
appliance.
INITIAL USE
Before using the appliance, make sure that all preparations
have been made according to the instructions provided in
the section "Important Information Regarding Safety and
the Environment" and in the Installation Manual.
•
Clean the interior of the refrigerator as recommended in
the "Maintenance and Cleaning" section. Before you turn
on the refrigerator, make sure that the interior is dry.
•
Plug the refrigerator into a grounded socket. The interior
lighting comes on when the refrigerator door is opened.
•
Run the refrigerator for 6 hours before placing any food
in it and do not open its door unless it is necessary.
NOTE
You will hear a noise when the compressor
starts up. The liquids and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system may also
cause noise, even if the compressor is not
running. This is quite normal.
NOTE
The front edges of the refrigerator may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm in order to prevent
condensation.
