Operating your refrigerator
Before you start using the fridge/freezer check
the following:
1. Have the feet been adjusted so that the
product stands level?
2. Is the interior of the refrigerator dry and can
the air circulate freely in the rear of it?
3. Clean the interior of the refrigerator as
recommended in the "Cleaning your refrigerator"
section.
4. Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet.
• When the door is open the respective interior
light will come on.
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor
starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the
refrigeration system may also give rise to noise,
even if the compressor is not running and this is
quite normal.
Due to the operation of fans inside the
appliance, overall noise level is slightly
higher in comparison to non-frost free
appliances. This is quite normal and is not a
fault.
6. Front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm.
This is normal. These areas are designed to be
warm to avoid condensation.
7. Do not fill the interiors of the refrigerator in
initial operation for the first 12 hours.
8. When the compartments reach the desired
temperatures fans will stop.
9. Especially pay special attention to prevent the
foodstuffs, in particular, small pieces, such as
rice, peas and beans from running into the fan
protectors and air flow ducts. These may cause
clogging of the cooling system and a decrease in
the efficiency of the device.
10. The factory set temperature is 4°C in average
for fridge compartment and -18°C maximum for
freezer compartment.
11. The compressor will start running
approximately 8 minutes after the refrigerator
is plugged in to protect the electronic
components of your appliance. After startup of
the compressor, compartment temperatures will
reach to the setup temperatures in 24 hours
depending on the ambient temperature and load
status of your refrigerator.
12. Pay attention to the following points during
the first 24 hours of the operation:
• Do not open the doors frequently.
• Do not overload your refrigerator.
• Do not put hot food.
