5.7. Deodoriser Module
(FreshGuard)
(This feature is optional)
The deodoriser module quickly eliminates the bad smells in your refrigerator before they permeate the surfaces. Thanks to this module, which is placed on the ceiling of the fresh food compartment, the bad odours dissolve while the air is actively being passed on the odour filter, then the air that has been cleaned by the filter is re-emitted to the fresh food compartment. This way, the unwanted odours that may emerge during the storage of foods in the refrigerator are eliminated before they permeate the surfaces.
This is achieved thanks to the fan, LED and the odour filter integrated into the module. The deodoriser module will get activated automatically on a periodical basis. The sound you will hear during periodical activation of the module is normal; it is emitted by the integrated fan. If you open the door of the fresh food compartment while the module is active, the fan will pause temporarily and resume where it has left off when the door is closed again. In case of a power failure, the deodoriser module will get activated when the power is back.
Info: It is recommended to store aromatic foods (such as cheese, olives and delicatessen foods) in their packaging and sealed to avoid bad odours that may result when smells of various foods get mixed. Besides, it is recommended to take spoiled foods out of the refrigerator quickly to prevent the other foods from getting spoiled and avoid bad odours.

5.8. Chiller compartment
(This feature is optional)
Use this compartment to store delicatessen that shall be stored in a lower temperature or meat products that you will consume in a short time. Do not store your vegetables or fruits in this compartment. You can increase the inner volume of your product by removing any of the chiller compartments: To remove, just pull forwards until it stops and then lift it and pull towards yourself.
5.9. Crisper
Crisper of the refrigerator is designed specially to keep the vegetables fresh without loosing their humidity. For this purpose, cool air circulation is intensified around the crisper in general. Store your fruits and vegetables in this compartment. Do not place leafy greens next to fruits to prolong their life.
5.10. Using the water dispenser
(This feature is optional)
It is normal for the first few glasses of water taken from the dispenser to be warm.
If the water dispenser is not used for a long period of time, dispose of first few glasses of water to obtain fresh water.

1.  Push in the lever of the water dispenser with your glass. If you are using a soft plastic cup, pushing the lever with your hand will be easier.
2. After filling the cup up to the level you want, release the lever.

Please note, how much water flows from the dispenser depends on how far you depress the lever. As the level of water in your cup / glass rises, gently reduce the amount of pressure on the lever to avoid overflow. If you slightly press the arm, the water will drip; this is quite normal and not a failure.
5.11. Filling the water dispenser’s tank
Water tank filling reservoir is located inside the door rack.

1. Open the cover of the tank.
2. Fill the tank with fresh drinking water.
3. Close the cover.

Do not fill the water tank with any other liquid except for water such as fruit juices, carbonated beverages or alcoholic drinks which are not suitable to use in the water dispenser. Water dispenser will be irreparably damaged if these kinds of liquids are used. Warranty does not cover such usages. Some chemical substances and additives contained in these kinds of drinks/liquids may damage the water tank.
Use clean drinking water only.
Capacity of the water tank is 3 liters; do not overfill.
5.12. Cleaning the water tank

1. Remove the water filling reservoir inside the door rack.
2. Remove the door rack by holding from both sides.
3. Grab the water tank from both sides and remove it with an angle of 45°C.
4. Remove the cover of the water tank and clean the tank.

Components of the water tank and water dispenser should not be washed in dishwasher.
5.13. Drip tray
Water that dripped while using the water dispenser accumulates in the spillage tray.
Remove the plastic filter as shown in the figure.
With a clean and dry cloth, remove the water that has accumulated.

5.14. Humidity-controlled
crisper (Ever Fresh)
(This feature is optional)
Thanks to the humidity-controlled crisper, fruits and vegetables can be stored for a longer time in an environment with ideal humidity conditions. With the humidity adjustment system with 3 options in front of the crisper, you can control the humidity level inside depending on the food you store. It is recommended to select the vegetable option if you are storing vegetables only, the fruit option if you are storing fruits only, and mixed option when you are storing both fruits and vegetables.
To benefit from the humidity control system and prolong the storage life of foods, it is recommended not to store fruits and vegetables in plastic bags. If the vegetables are left inside their bags, this will cause them to decompose in a short period of time. In particular, we recommend not to store cucumbers or broccoli in sealed plastic bags. In case contacting with other vegetables is not preferred for hygiene concerns, use a perforated paper bag and other similar packaging materials instead of a bag.
While the vegetables are being placed, specific gravity of the vegetables should be taken into consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables should be put at the bottom of the crisper and the lightweight and soft vegetables should be placed over. Do not place together the pear, apricot, peach, etc. and apple in particular which have a high level of generation of ethylene gas in the same crisper with the other vegetables and fruit. The ethylene gas which is emitted by these fruit may cause the other fruit to ripen faster and decompose in a shorter time.

5.15. Freezing fresh food

• In order to preserve the quality of the food, it shall be frozen as quickly as possible when it is placed in the freezer compartment, use the fast freezing feature for this purpose.
• You may store the food longer in freezer compartment when you freeze them while they are fresh.
• Pack the food to be frozen and close the packing so that it would not allow entrance of air.
• Ensure that you pack your food before putting them in the freezer. Use freezer containers, foils and moisture-proof papers, plastic bags and other packing materials instead of traditional packing papers.

Care and Cleaning

Service life of the product will extend and frequently encountered problems will decrease if the product is cleaned periodically.
WARNING: Switch off the product before cleaning.
WARNING: It is recommended to clean the condenser every six months using gloves. You must not use vacuum cleaners.

• Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.
• Never use any sharp abrasive instruments, soap, household cleaners, detergent or wax polish for cleaning.
• Dissolve one teaspoon of carbonate in half liter of water. Soak a cloth in the solution and wring it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator with this cloth and the dry thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing or other electrical parts.
• If you will not use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it, remove all food inside, clean it and leave the door ajar.
• Check regularly that the door gaskets are clean. If not, clean them.
• Take out all items in the product to remove the door and body shelves.
• Remove the door shelves by pulling them up. Slide the shelves downwards to re-install them after cleaning.
• Never use chloric cleaning agents or water to clean outer surfaces or chrome-coated parts of the product.
• Chlorine causes abrasion on such metal surfaces.
• For non-No Frost products, water drops and frosting up to a fingerbreadth occur on the rear wall of the
• Fridge compartment. Do not clean it; never apply oil or similar agents on it.
• Only use slightly damp microfiber cloths to clean the outer surface of the product. Sponges and other types of cleaning cloths may scratch the surface.

6.1. Avoiding Bad Odours
Materials that may cause odour are not used in the production of our refrigerators. However, odour may be emitted if foods are stored improperly or if the inner surface of the product is not cleaned as required. Please consider the following to avoid this problem:

• It is important that the refrigerator is kept clean.
  Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odour. For this reason, clean your refrigerator with carbonate solved in water every 15 days. Never use detergents or soap.

• Keep your foods in closed vessels. Microorganisms emitted from vessels without a cover may cause unpleasant odours.

• Never keep expired or spoiled foods in your refrigerator.

6.2. Protection of plastic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface with warm water immediately.
6.3. Cleaning the Inner Surface
To clean the inner surfaces and all removable parts, wash them with a mild solution comprising soap, water and carbonate. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Prevent the water from contacting the lighting means and control panel.
ATTENTION:
Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol or other alcohol-based cleaning agents on any of the inner surfaces.
6.4. Stainless Steel Outer Surfaces
Use a stainless steel cleaning agent that is non-abrasive and apply it with a lint-free, soft cloth. For polishing, wipe the surface softly with a damp microfiber cloth and use dry wash-leather. Always follow the strands of the stainless steel.
6.5. Cleaning Products with Glass Doors
Remove the protection foil on the glass. There is a coating on the surface of the glass. This coating minimises stain formation and ensures that stains and dirt are cleaned easily. Glasses that are not protected by a coating might be exposed to permanent bonding of organic or inorganic, air or waterborne pollutants such as limescale, mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal oxides an silicons, which lead to stains and physical damage in a short time. Despite regular washing, the glass becomes very hard to keep clean, though not impossible. As a result, the clarity and good appearance of the glass reduces. Hard and abrasive cleaning compounds and methods increase these defects even further and accelerate the deterioration process.
*Non-alkali, non-abrasive and water-based cleaning products must be used for routing cleaning procedures. For the coating to have long service life, alkali or abrasive substances must not be used during cleaning processes.
These glasses were subject to a tempering process to increase their impact and breakage resistance. As an additional safety measure, there is a safety film on the back surfaces of the glasses to ensure that they will not harm the environment in case of breakage.
