[. . . ] Do not open doors of your fridge frequently and do not place much food inside it in this period. • A 5 minute delaying function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge, when you take the plug off and then plug it on again to operate it or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes. • Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are out of the stated temperature intervals in terms of cooling efficiency. EN - 45 Climate Class T ST N SN Ambient 16 to 43 °C 16 to 38 °C 16 to 32 °C 10 to 32 °C CHAPTER 3. PLACING THE FOOD Cooling Compartment • To prevent humidification and odor formation, the food should be placed in the refrigerator in closed or covered containers. • Hot foods and drinks should be cooled to room temperatures before being placed in the refrigerator. • Please do not prop packaged food and containers against the lamp or cover of the cooling compartment. • Fruits and vegetables may be placed directly in the vegetable holder without being wrapped separately. • While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there are no instructions, the food has to be consumed in the shortest possible period of time. • Frozen food has to be transported before it thaws and it should be placed in the fast freezing shelf as soon as possible. Please do not use the door shelves for fast freezing purposes. • If the frozen food package has been humidified and it has a foul odor, the food might have previously been stored under unsuitable conditions and become spoiled. • The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the environmental temperatures, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food types, and the period of time that elapsed from when the food was acquired to the time it entered the freezer. Always abide by the instructions on the package and never exceed the storage duration. • During extended power outages, please do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. Your refrigerator will preserve your frozen food in the ambient environmental temperature of 25°C for about 13 hours. This preservation time period decreases the higher the ambient environmental temperatures are. During longer lasting power cuts, you should not refreeze your food. Some recommendations have been specified on pages 48, 49 and 50 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

[. . . ] IMPORTANT NOTES: • In case of a sudden power loss or disconnecting and reconnecting of the plug to the electrical socket, the compressor protective thermal element will be opened as the pressure of the gas in the cooling system of your refrigerator has not yet been balanced. 4 or 5 minutes later, your refrigerator will start to operate; this is normal. • If you won’t be using your refrigerator for a long time (such as on summer holidays), please disconnect the plug from the socket. Clean your refrigerator as per Part 4 of this document and leave the door open to prevent any humidification or odor formation. [. . . ]
