C

If the filter usage time is calculated automatically, Filter Change Warning indicator will illuminate continuously in a few seconds after the product is plugged in.

Automatic filter usage time calculation is not enabled ex factory. It must be enabled in products equipped with a filter.

If the same procedure is repeated when the automatic filter usage time calculation is enabled, then the function will be cancelled.

3.13 Before starting to use the water/ice dispenser

• If the water pressure is below 1 bar or a demijohn will be used, than a separate must be used as well.

• Water system of the refrigerator must be connected to the cold water line.

It must not be connected to hot water line.

• No water may be obtained in the initial startup of the refrigerator. Because there is air in the system. To discharge air from the system, press dispenser latch for 1-2 minutes until water comes from the dispenser. Water flow may be irregular at the beginning. After the air in the system is discharged, water flow will return to normal.

• During initial use, you will have to wait approximately 12 hours for the water to cool down.

• It will take around 1-2 days for the system to produce required amount of ice.

• Water pressure must be between 1-8 bars for the operation of ice/water dispenser smoothly.

For this, check that 1 glass of water (100 cc) can be filled in 10 seconds.

• The first 10 glasses of water should not be consumed.

• You must wait approximately 12 hours to obtain ice from the ice dispenser for the first time. If there is not enough ice in the ice container, ice may not be obtained from ice dispenser.

• Do not consume the first 30 pieces (3-4 Litres) of ice cubes.

• First several glasses of water may be turbid when the filter is used for the first time.

Therefore, do not consume the first several glasses of water.

• If the water dispenser is not used for a long period of time, first 1-2 glasses of water can be hot.

• If a power outage or a temporary failure occurs while the refrigerator is operating, ice can melt down a little bit and then get frozen again. In such a case, ice cubes can stick to each other.

If the outage or failure prolongs, ice can melt down causing water leakage. If you experience such a problem, empty and clean the ice container.

• Ice cubes can stick to each other if they are left in the container for a long time.

• Water system installation of the refrigerator must be performed by the Authorised Service

Agent.

• If the product is to be connected to the water mains, make sure that you use potable water.

• Water system of the product is designed to operate only with water. Do not use beverage such as soft drinks and/or juices in the water system.

• It is recommended that the water is disconnected if you will not be using the refrigerator for a long period of time due to vacation or similar reasons.

• Do not attempt to dismantle the ice container group assembly parts.


13 / 30 EN

Installation

• Do not attempt to clean the ice container assembly without removing it from the refrigerator.

5.2 Dual cooling system

Your refrigerator is equipped with three separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment, frozen food compartment and multi zone compartment. Thus, air and odour in the fresh food compartment and frozen food compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher then other refrigerators. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

5.3 Freezing fresh food

• Wrap the food or place them in a covered container before putting them in the refrigerator.

• Hot food and beverages must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.

• The food that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.

• Divided the food into portions according to your family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.

• Pack the food in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be stored for a short time.

• Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odour, oils and acids and they must also be airtight.

Moreover, they must be well closed and they must be made from easy-to-use materials that are suitable for deep-freezers.

• Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be refrozen.

• Do not freeze too large quantities of food at one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

• Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.

5.5 Placing the food

Freezer compartment shelves

Various frozen food such as meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables and etc.

5.4 Recommendations for preserving the frozen food

• Frozen food that you have purchased should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a

• Note the following to ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained:

1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2. Make sure that contents of the package are labelled and dated.

3. Check whether the "Use By" and "Best Before" dates on the packaging are exceed or not.
