5 Preparation
Read the “Safety Instructions” sec-
tion first!
5.1 What To Do For Energy Saving
Connecting the product to elec-
tronic energy-saving systems is
harmful, as it may damage the
product.
• This refrigerating appliance is not inten-
ded 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.
• 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. Under these circum-
stances, functions and components such
as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, light-
ing, display and so on will operate ac-
cording to the needs by consuming min-
imum energy.
• In case that multiple options are present,
glass shelves must be placed so that the
air outlets at the rear wall are not blocked
and preferably, in a way that air outlets
remain below the glass shelf. This com-
bination may help improving air distribu-
tion and energy efficiency.
• Using the below drawer when storing is
strongly recommended.
• Depending on the product’s features; de-
frosting frozen foods in the cooler com-
partment will ensure energy saving and
preserve food quality.
• In order to load the maximum quantity of
food into the freezer compartment of
your refrigerator, the upper drawers may
be taken out and the food should be
placed onto the wire/glass shelves.
• Make sure the foods are not in contact
with the cooler compartment temperat-
ure sensor described below.
• If they are in contact with the sensor, en-
ergy consumption of the appliance might
increase
EN / 16
• Food shall be stored using the drawers in
the cooler compartment in order to en-
sure energy saving and protect food in
better conditions.
• Food packages shall not be in direct con-
tact with the temperature sensor located
in the freezer compartment.
5.2 First Use
Before using your refrigerator, make sure
the necessary preparations are made in line
with the instructions in "Safety and Environ-
mental Instructions" and "Installation" sec-
tions.
• Keep the product running without placing
any food inside for 6 hours and do not
open the door, unless absolutely neces-
sary.
• The temperature change caused by open-
ing and closing of the door while using
the product may normally lead to con-
densation on door/body shelves and
glassware placed in the product.
A sound will be heard when the
compressor is engaged. It is nor-
mal for the product to make noise
even if the compressor is not run-
ning, as fluid and gas may be com-
pressed in the cooling system.
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.
For some models, indicator panel
turns off automatically 1 minute
after the door closes. It will be re-
activated when the door is opened
or any button is pressed.
5.3 Climate Class and Definitions
Please refer to the Climate Class on the rat-
ing plate of your device. One of the follow-
ing information is applicable to your device

6. Cooler Compartment Off (Vacation)
Function Key
To activate the holiday function, press the
button for 3 sec. The holiday mode is activ-
ated and the holiday icon ( ) lights up. All
icons on the cooler compartment temperat-
ure indicator turn off and the cooler com-
partment does not perform active cooling.
When this function is activated, you are ad-
vised against storing food in the refrigerat-
ing compartment. The other compartments
continue to cool according to their set tem-
perature. Press the key for 3 seconds again
to cancel this function.
7.2 Storing Food in the Cooler Compartment
Storing Food in the Cooler Compart-
ment
• Compartment temperatures rise promin-
ently if compartment door is opened and
closed frequently and kept open for a
long time, this can reduce the life span of
the food and cause the food to spoil.
• In order not to cause odour and taste
changes, the food should be stored in the
closed containers.
• Do not store too much food in your refri-
gerator. To achieve a better and homo-
geneous cooling, place the food separ-
ately in a way that cold air can wander
through them.
• Provide air flow by leaving a space
between the food and internal wall. If you
lean the food against the rear wall, the
food may freeze.
• Bring cooked hot meals to the room tem-
perature before placing them in the refri-
gerator. Then, you can place the tepid
meal in the lower shelves of your refriger-
ator. Do not place the tepid meals close
to the foods which may easily spoil.
• Defrost your frozen food in the fresh food
compartment. Thereby, you can cool
fresh food compartment by using frozen
food and save energy.
• Storing unripe tropical fruits (mango,
melon varieties, papaya, banana, pine-
apple) in the refrigerator may speed up
the ripening process. This is not recom-
mended because it will cause shorter
storage time.
• You should store onions, garlics, gingers
and other root vegetables in dark and
cold room conditions, not in the refriger-
ator.
• If you notice that a food has spoiled in
the refrigerator, throw away that food and
clean the accessories which have come
into contact with it.
• In order to cool the meals like soups and
stews, which are cooked in the large
pots, quickly, you can put them in the re-
frigerator by separating them into their
own shallow containers.
• Do not place unpackaged food close to
eggs.
• Keep the fruits and vegetables separately
and store each variety together (for ex-
ample; apples with apples, carrots with
carrots).
• Take green vegetables out of the plastic
bag and place them in the refrigerator
after wrapping them in a paper towel or
drying cloth. If you wash this type of food
before placing them in the refrigerator, re-
member to dry them.
• You can both create a damp environment
and provide an air flow by keeping fruits
and vegetables, which are prone to dry-
ing, in the perforated or unsealed plastic
bags.
• Except the cases where extreme circum-
stances are available in the environment,
if your product (on the recommended set
values table) is set to the specified set
values, the food keep their freshness for
a longer time both in the fresh product
compartment and freezer compartment.
EN / 21
door open alert is sounded gradually. First,
an audible warning starts to sound. After 4
minutes, if the door is still not closed, a
visual warning (lighting flash) is activated.

7.7 Replacing the Illumination Lamp
Call the Authorized Service when the Bulb/
LED used for lighting in your refrigerator
will be replaced.
Lamp(s) used in this appliance cannot be
used for house lighting. Intended use of
this lamp is to help the user place food into
the refrigerator / freezer safely and com-
fortably.
7.8 AeroFresh
It is an air distribution system that provides
homogeneous temperature distribution.
With the air circulation, the homogeneous
temperature distribution is ensured in the
fresh food storage compartment, and the
temperature fluctuations are kept at low
levels. No direct air blowing over the food is
realized and this helps to reduce moisture
loss. It preserves the freshness of the food
stored in the fresh food compartment of
the refrigerator. In this way, your food is
stored at more stable temperatures and the
contact with air is reduced. The drying and
shrinking of foods by losing moisture is
prevented and freshness is provided for a
longer time.

Read the “Safety Instructions” sec-
tion first.
WARNING:

by lifting them upwards. Clean and dry
the shelves, then attach back in place by
sliding from above.
• Do not use chlorinated water or cleaning
products on the exterior surface and
chromecoated parts of the product.
Chlorine will cause rust on such metallic
surfaces.
• Do not use sharp and abrasive tools,
soap, house cleaning materials, deter-
gents, gas, gasoline, varnish and similar
substances to prevent deformation of the
plastic part and removal of prints on the
part. Use warm water and a soft cloth for
cleaning, and then dry it.
• On the products without a No-Frost fea-
ture, water droplets and icing up to a
thickness of a finger may occur on the
rear wall of the freezer compartment. Do
not clean, and never apply oils or similar
materials.
• Use a mildly dampened micro-fibre cloth
to clean the external surface of the
product. Sponges and other types of
cleaning clothes may cause scratches.
• To clean all removable components dur-
ing the cleaning of the interior surface of
the product, wash these components
with a mild solution consisting of soap,
water and carbonate. Wash and dry thor-
oughly. Prevent contact of water with illu-
mination components and the control
panel.
CAUTION:
Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol
or other alcohol based cleaning
agents on any interior surface.
Stainless Steel External Surfaces
Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaning
agent and apply it with a soft lint-free cloth.
To polish, gently wipe the surface with a mi-
cro-fibre cloth dampened with water and
use dry polishing chamois. Always follow
the veins of the stainless steel.
Preventing Odours
The product is manufactured free of any
odorous materials. However, keeping the
food in inappropriate sections and im-
proper cleaning of internal surfaces may
lead to odours.

Protecting Plastic Surfaces
Oil spilled on plastic surfaces may damage
the surface and must be cleaned immedi-
ately with warm water.
