4. BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
10
4.1 Ways to Save Energy
WARNING
Connecting your refrigerator to an energy
saving system is dangerous, as this may
damage your appliance.
> Do not leave the doors of your refrigerator open
for a long time.
> Do not put hot food or drinks into your refrigerator.
> Do not overload the refrigerator. Cooling capacity
will fall when air circulation in the refrigerator is
obstructed.
> Do not place the refrigerator in direct sunlight.
Install the product at least 12” (30 cm) away from
heat sources such as kitchen ranges, ovens, heater
units and stoves and at least 2” (5 cm) away from
electric ovens.
> Be sure to store your food in closed containers
inside the refrigerator.
> You can remove the drawer shelf in the
freezer compartment in order to fill the freezer
compartment with the maximum amount of food.
The appliance's provided energy consumption value
has been determined with the freezer compartment
shelf or drawer removed and with the refrigerator
filled with the maximum amount of food. There is
no harm in choosing to use a shelf or drawer based
on the shapes and sizes of the food to be frozen.
> Thawing frozen foods in the fridge compartment
both saves energy and preserves the quality of the
foods.
Note
The temperature in the room where your
refrigerator is located should at least be
50°F (10°C). Operating your refrigerator in
cooler conditions is not recommended, in
terms of its eciency.
Note
The inside of your refrigerator must be kept
perfectly clean.
Note
If two refrigerators are to be installed side
by side, there should be at least 1½” (4 cm)
distance between them.
4.2 Recommendations for the Fresh
Food Compartment
> Make sure that the food does not touch the
temperature sensor in the fresh food compartment.
To allow the fresh food compartment to maintain its
ideal storage temperature, the sensor must not be
obstructed by food items.
> Do not place hot foods or beverages inside the
appliance.
4.3 Initial use
Before using the appliance, make sure that all
preparations have been made according to the
instructions provided in the section "Important
Information Regarding Safety and the Environment"
and in the Installation Manual..
> Clean the interior of the refrigerator as
recommended in the “Maintenance and Cleaning”
section. Before you turn on the refrigerator, make
sure that the interior is dry.
> Plug the refrigerator into a grounded socket. The
interior lighting comes on when the refrigerator
door is opened.
> Run the refrigerator for 6 hours before placing
any food in it and do not open its door unless it is
necessary.
Note
You will hear a noise when the compressor
starts up. The liquids and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system may also
cause noise, even if the compressor is not
running.This is quite normal.
Note
The front edges of the refrigerator may
feel warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm in order to prevent
condensation.
11
EN
5.1 Dual Cooling System
Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate
cooling systems, one for the fresh food compartment
and one for the freezer compartment.
This way the air and odor in the fresh food
compartment and the frozen food compartment do
not mix.
Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, the
cooling speed is much higher than that of other
refrigerators. Also, it allows for additional power
savings, since defrosting is performed separately.
5.2 Freezing Fresh Food
> Wrap foods or place them in a covered container
before putting them in the refrigerator.
> Hot foods and beverages must have cooled down
to room temperature before you put them in the
refrigerator.
> The food that you want to freeze must be fresh
and in good condition.
> Divide the food into portions according to your
family's daily or meal-based consumption needs.
> Pack the foods in an airtight manner to prevent
them from drying out, even if they are only going to
be stored for a short time.
> Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-
proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils and
acids; they must also be airtight. Moreover, they
must be well sealed and made from easy-to-use
materials that are suitable for deep freezers.
> Frozen food must be used immediately after
thawing;it must never be refrozen.
> Do not freeze very large amounts 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 run continuously until
the food is frozen solid.
5. OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
5.3 Recommendations for Storing
Frozen Food
> Frozen foods you purchase must be stored in the
conditions and at the temperature determined by
the food manufacturer.
> To ensure that the high quality achieved by the
frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained, heed the following recommendations:
1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly as
possible after purchase.
2. Make sure that packages are labeled and dated.
3. Check whether or not the "Use By" or "Best
Before" date on the packaging has passed.

Note
Never leave vegetables in their plastic bags
in the drawer. If they are left in their plastic
bags, they will spoil in a short period of
time.
The drawers preserve the humidity of your
vegetables, allowing you to store them for a longer
time without having to keep them in their bags.
If you prefer that the vegetables not come into
contact with each other for hygienic reasons, you
can use perforated paper, foam or other similar
materials instead of plastic bags.
When positioning the vegetables in the drawers,
their specific weights should be taken into
consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables must be
placed at the bottom of the drawer and light and
soft vegetables must be kept on top.
Pears, kiwis, tomatoes, cucumbers, apricots,
peaches, broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, parsley
and spinach are fruits and vegetables that emit
ethylene gas. Do not place them in the same crisper
with other fruits and vegetables. The ethylene gas
emitted by these foods causes other fruits and
vegetables to ripen sooner and to spoil in a shorter
span of time.
Do not remove the drawer from the refrigerator
unless you must do so.
5.9 Fresco Compartment
This section is designed for storing foods such as
fish, meat and vegetables, as well as deli products
such as cheese and cold cuts. You can control
the temperature in this compartment in order to
preserve them better.
Note
Removal/installation procedures for the

Water filter cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located at the bottom
part of the unit.
The filter cartridge should be replaced every
six months, or sooner if 170 gallons (644 liters)
of water have been dispensed before that time,
otherwise water flow to the water dispenser or to
the icemaker decreases.
The water filter replacement alarm symbol lights
up on the refrigerator/freezer display when the
water filter has reached 90% of its useful life.
Changing the water filter cartridge
Turn the water filter counterclockwise and remove.

Insert the water filter – with the knobs at the front
in a horizontal position as far as it will go, and turn
clockwise until it snaps in.
After replacing the water filter cartridge
In refrigerator columns, run 2 gallons (8 liters) from
the water dispenser to remove air from the system.
A newly installed filter cartridge gushes and drips
water until the air is removed from the system.
In freezer columns, the ice maker may not
immediately produce ice. First ice cubes may be
irregularly shaped. Discard the first bin full of ice
to allow air to purge from the system. A newly
installed filter cartridge gushes and drips water
in the ice maker until the air is removed from the
system.
After changing the water filter, press SELECT button
for 5 seconds to reset the alarm.
Note
It is normal for the first water and ice
released from the dispensers to appear
discolored. The color will return to normal
once all of the above procedures are
completed.
