Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.
The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy consumption and for better storage conditions.
Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of the appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.
In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 1 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.
Due to temperature change as a result of opening/closing the product door during operation, condensation on the door/body shelves and the glass containers is normal.

How to Freeze Fresh Foods

Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to a size to be consumed, and frozen in separate packages. In this way, all the food should be prevented from being refrozen by thawing.
In order to protect the nutritional value, the aroma and the color of the foods as much as possible, vegetables should be boiled for a short period of time before freezing. (Boiling is not necessary for foods such as cucumber, parsley.)
Cooking time of the vegetables frozen in this way is shortened by 1/3 than that of the fresh vegetables.
To extend the storage times of frozen foods, boiled vegetables must first be filtered and then hermetically packaged as in the all types of foods.
Foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without package.
The packaging material of the food to be stored should be air-tight, thick and durable and should not deform with cold and humidity. Otherwise, the food that is hardened by freezing might pierce the package. Sealing the package well is also important in terms of securely storing the food.

The following packaging types are suitable for use to freeze the food: Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil, plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-resistant storage containers with caps.

The use of the following types of packaging is not recommended to freeze the food;

Packaging paper, parchment paper, cellophane (gelatin paper), garbage bag, used bags and shopping bags.

Hot foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without cooling.
When placing unfrozen fresh foods in the freezer compartment, please note that it does not contact with frozen foods. Cool-pack (PCM) can be placed to the rack immediately below the quick freezer rack for preventing them from being getting warm.
During the freezing time (24 hours) do not place other food to the freezer.
Place your foods to the freezing shelves or racks by spreading them so that they will not be cramped (it is recommended that the packaging does not come into contact with each other).
Frozen foods must be immediately consumed in a short period of time after defrosting and must never be frozen again.
Do not block the ventilation holes by putting your frozen foods in front of the ventilation holes located on the back surface.
We recommend you to attach a label onto the package and write the name of the foods in the package and the freezing time.

Foods suitable for freezing:
Fish and seafood, red and white meat, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbaceous spices, dairy products (such as cheese, butter and strained yoghurt), pastries, ready or cooked meals, potato dishes, souffle and desserts.

Foods not suitable for freezing:
Yoghurt, sour milk, cream, mayonnaise, leaved salad, red radish, grapes, all fruits (such as apple, pears and peaches).

For foods to be frozen quickly and thoroughly, the following specified amounts per package should not be exceeded.
-Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg
-Meat, 1-1.5 kg
A small amount of foods (maximum 2 kg) can also be frozen without the use of the quick freezing function.

To obtain the best result, apply the following instructions:

Activate the quick freezing function 24 hours before placing your fresh foods.
After 24 hours after pressing the button, the loads can be placed to the top and bottom drawers for even and efficient freezing.
The quick freezing function will be automatically inactivated after 52 hours.
Do not try to freeze a large quantity of food at a time. Within 24 hours, this product can freeze the maximum food quantity specified as «Freezing Capacity … kg/24 hours» on its type label. It is not convenient to put more unfrozen/fresh foods to the freezer compartment than the quantity specified on the label.
• You can review the Meat and Fish, Vegetables and Fruits, Dairy Products tables for placing and storing your foods in the deep-freezer.

Recommendations for Preservation of Frozen Foods

While purchasing your frozen foods, make sure that they are frozen at appropriate temperatures and their packages are not broken.
Put the packages on the freezer compartment as soon as possible after purchasing them.
Make sure that the expiration date indicated on the packaging is not expired before consuming the packaged ready meals that you remove from the freezer compartment.

Defrosting
The ice in the freezer compartments is automatically thawed.

Deep Freezer Information
The EN 62552 standard requires (according to specific measurement conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of food for each 100 liter of freezer compartment volume can be frozen at a room temperature of 25°C in 24 hours.

Defrosting the frozen foods
Depending on the food diversity and the purpose of use, a selection can be made between the following options for defrosting:

At room temperature (it is not very suitable to defrost the food by leaving it at room temperature for a long time in terms of maintaining the food quality)
In the refrigerator
In the electrical oven (in models with or without fan)
In the microwave oven

CAUTION:

Never put acidic beverages in glass bottles and cans into your freezer due to the risk of explosion.
If there is moisture and abnormal swelling in the packaging of frozen foods, it is likely that they were previously stored in an improper storage condition and their contents deteriorated. Do not consume these foods without checking.
Since some spices in cooked meals may change their taste when exposed to long-term storage conditions, your frozen foods should be less seasoned or the desired spices should be added to the foods after the thawing process.

Recommended Temperature Settings

Freezer compartment setting	Remarks
-20 °C	This is the default recommended temperature setting.
-21,-22,-23 or -24 oC	These settings are recommended when the ambient temperature is higher than 30°C or when you think the refrigerator is not cool enough due to frequent opening and closing of the door.
Quick Freezing	Use when you want to freeze your food in a short time.

It is recommended to be applied to preserve the quality of your fresh food. You do not need to use the quick freezing function when putting your frozen food.

You do not need to use the quick freezing function to freeze a small amount of fresh food, up to 2 kg per day.
