4.1. Things to be done for energy
saving
A
Connecting the product to electric energy
saving systems is risky as it may cause
damage on the product.
• Do not leave the doors of your product open for
a long time.
• Do not put hot food or drinks in your product.
• Do not overload the product. Cooling capacity
will fall when the air circulation inside is
hindered.
• Do not place the product in places subject to
direct sunlight. Install the product at least 30 cm
away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens,
heater cores and stoves and at least 5 cm away
from electrical ovens.
• Store your food in product in closed containers.
• You can load maximum amount of food to
the freezer compartment of the product by
removing the freezer compartment shelf of
drawer. Declared energy consumption value of
the product was determined with the freezer
compartment shelf or drawer removed and with
maximum amount of food loaded. There is no
risk in using a shelf or drawer suitable for the
shapes and sizes of the foods to be frozen.
• Thawing frozen food in fridge compartment will
both provide energy saving and preserve the
food quality.
C
The ambient temperature of the room
where you install the product should at
least be -5°C. Operating your product
under cooler conditions than this is not
recommended.
C
Inside of your product must be cleaned.
C
If two coolers are to be installed side
by side, there should be at least 4 cm
distance between them.
4.2. Recommendations on the fridge
compartment
• Do not allow the food to touch the temperature
sensor in fridge compartment. To allow the
fridge compartment keep its ideal storage
temperature, sensor must not be hindered by
food.
• 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.
• Do not put hot food and beverages inside the
product.
