5 Preparation

For a freestanding appliance; this refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.

Your refrigerator should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heater and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens and should not be located under direct sunlight.

The ambient temperature of the room where you install your refrigerator should at least be +5C. Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions is not recommended with regard to its efficiency.

Please make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.

If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.

When you operate your refrigerator for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.

The door should not be opened frequently.

It must be operated empty without any food in it.

Do not unplug your refrigerator. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the Recommended solutions for the problems section.

Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.

The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy

consumption and for better storage conditions.

Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of the appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.

In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 1 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.

Due to temperature change as a result of opening/closing the product door during operation, condensation on the door/body shelves and the glass containers is normal.

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.

In case of multiple options are present glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the backwall are not blocked, prefably air outlets are remaining below the glass shelf. This combination may help impoving air distribution and energy efficiency.

Operating the product 6.1.Changing the illumination lamp

To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, call your AuthorisedService.

The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way.

The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20 C. (only chest and upright freezer)

6.2.Open door warning An audio warning will be given when the fridge or freezer compartment door of your product is left open for a certain period of time. This audio warning signal will mute when any button on the indicator is pressed or when the door is closed.

6.3.The dairy (cold storage) bin

Provides lower temperature within the refrigerator compartment. Use this bin to store delicatessen (salami, sausages, dairy products and etc. ) that requires lower storage temperature or meat, chicken or fish products for immediate consumption. Do not store fruits and vegetables inside this bin.

Defrost Fridge compartment Fridge compartment performs full- automatic defrosting. Water drops and a frosting up to 7-8 mm can occur on the inner rear wall of the fridge compartment while your refrigerator cools down. Such formation is normal as a result of the cooling system. The frost formation is defrosted by performing automatic defrosting with certain intervals thanks to the automatic defrosting system of the rear wall. User is not required to scrape the frost or remove the water drops. Water resulting from the defrosting passes from the water collection groove and flows into the evaporator through the drain pipe and evaporates here by itself. Deep freezer compartment does not perform automatic defrosting in order to prevent decaying of the frozen food. The freezer compartment defrosts automatically. Check regularly to see if the drain pipe is clogged or not and clear it with the stick in the hole when necessary.

18 / 30 EN Refrigerator/User Manual

Operating the product 6.4.Deodoriser Module (FreshGuard)

The deodoriser module quickly eliminates the bad smells in your refrigerator before they permeate the surfaces. Thanks to this module, which is placed on the ceiling of the fresh food compartment, the bad odours dissolve while the air is actively being passed on the odour filter, then the air that has been cleaned by the filter is re-emitted to the fresh food compartment. This way, the unwanted odours that may emerge during the storage of foods in the refrigerator are eliminated before they permeate the surfaces.

This is achieved thanks to the fan, LED and the odour filter integrated into the module. In daily use, the deodoriser module will turn on automatically on a periodic basis. To maintain efficient performance, it is recommended to have the filter in the deodoriser module by the authorised service provider every 5 years. Due to the fan integrated into the module, the noise you will hear during operation is normal. If you open the door of the fresh food compartment while the module is active, the fan will pause temporarily and resume where it has left off after some time the door is closed again. In case of power failure, the deodoriser module will resume where it has left off in the total operation duration once the power is back.

C

It is recommended to store aromatic foods (such as cheese, olives and delicatessen foods) in their packaging and sealed to avoid bad odours that may result when smells of various foods get mixed. Besides, it is recommended to take spoiled foods out of the refrigerator quickly to prevent the other foods from getting spoiled and avoid bad odours.

19 / 30 ENRefrigerator/User Manual

Operating the product 6.5. Blue light/HarvestFresh *May not be available in all models

For the blue light, Fruits and vegetables stored in the

crispers that are illuminated with a blue light continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus preserve their vitamin content.

ForHarvestFresh, Fruits and vegetables stored in cris- pers illuminated with the HarvestFresh technology preserve their vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle. If you open the door of the refrige- rator during the dark period of the HarvestFresh technology, the refrige- rator will automatically detect this and enable the blue-green or red light to illuminate the crisper for your conve- nience. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle.

6.6.Moisture controlled vegetable bin (EverFresh+) *optional With moisture control feature, moisture rates of vegetables and fruits are kept under control and ensures a longer freshness period for foods. It is recommended to store leafed vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and similar vegetables prone to moisture loss not on their roots but in horizontal position into the vegetable bin as much as possible. When placing the vegetables, place heavy and hard vegetables at the bottom and light and soft ones on the top, taking into account the specific weights of vegetables. Do not leave vegetables in the vegetable bin in plastic bags. Leaving them in plastic bags causes vegetables to rot in a short time. In situations where contact with other vegetables is not preferred, use packaging materials such as paper that has a certain porosity in terms of hygiene. Do not put fruits that have a high ethylene gas production such as pear, apricot, peach and particularly apple in the same vegetable bin with other vegetables and fruits. The ethylene gas coming out of these fruits might cause other vegetables and fruits to mature faster and rot in a shorter period of time.

20 / 30 EN Refrigerator/User Manual

Operating the product In order to store your fruits and

vegetables at ideal humidity conditions, you can change the location of the latch on the crisper. If only fruits and vegetables are stored, set the latch to fruits; if only vegetables are stored, set the latch to vegetables, if mixed items are stored, set the latch to mixed setting.
