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.
• Food shall be stored using the drawers in
the cooler compartment in order to en-
sure energy saving and protect food in
better conditions.
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

ing plate of your device. One of the follow-
ing information is applicable to your device
