4 Preparation
What to do for energy saving
Read the “Safety Instructions” sec-
tion first.
• This refrigerating appliance is not intended
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.
4.1 What To Do For Energy Saving
• Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the
internal air flow will reduce cooling capa-
city.
• Depending on the product’s features; de-
frosting frozen foods in the cooler com-
partment will ensure both energy saving
and preserve food quality.
• Food shall be stored using the drawers in
the cooler compartment in order to ensure
energy saving and protect food in better
conditions.
• Make sure the foods are not in contact
with the cooler compartment temperature
sensor shown below.
• 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 accord-
ing to the needs by consuming minimum
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 re-
main below the glass shelf. This combina-
tion may help improving air distribution
and energy efficiency.
4.2 First Use
Before using your refrigerator, make sure the
necessary preparations are made in line with
the instructions in "Safety and Environmental
Instructions" and "Installation" sections.
• Keep the product running without placing
any food inside for 12 hours and do not
open the door, unless absolutely neces-
sary.
A sound will be heard when the
compressor is engaged. It is normal
for the product to make noise even if
the compressor is not running, as
fluid and gas may be compressed 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 reactivated
when the door is opened or any but-
ton is pressed.
4.3 Climate Class and Definitions
Please refer to the Climate Class on the rat-
ing plate of your device. One of the following
