-18°C or colder| 2°C| Use these settings if you think that your fridge compartment is not cold enough because of the hot ambient conditions or frequent opening and closing of the door.

5.4 Recommendations for preserving the frozen food
Compartment shall be set to -18°C at least.

  1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase without allowing the to thaw.
  2.  Check whether the “Use By” and “Best Before” dates on the packaging are expired or not before freezing it.
  3.  Ensure that the package of the food is not damaged.

5.5 Deep-freeze information
According to IEC 62552 standards, the product shall freeze at least 4.5 kg of food at 25°C ambient temperature to -18°C or lower within 24 hours for every 100-litres of freezer volume.
It is possible to preserve the food for a long time only at -18°C or lower temperatures. months (at -18°C or lower temperatures in the deep freeze).
Foods to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent them from getting thawed partially.
Boil the vegetables and drain their water in order to store vegetables for a longer time as frozen.
After draining their water, put them in air-proof packages and place them inside the freezer. Food such as bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes are not suitable for freezing. When these foods are frozen, only their nutritional value and taste shall be affected negatively. They shall not be spoiled so that they would create a risk for human health.

5.6 Placing the food

Freezer compartment shelves| Various frozen food such as meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables and etc.
---|---
Refrigerator compartment shelves| Food in pans, covered plates and closed containers, eggs ( in closed container)
Door of fridge| Small and packaged food or beverage
Crisper| Vegetables and fruits
Fresh zone compartment| Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products that shall be consumed in a short time)

5.7 Door open warning (This feature is optional)
An audio warning signal will be given when the door of your product is left open for 1 minute. This warning will be muted when the door is closed or any of the display buttons (if any) are pressed.
5.8 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. Remove the door shelves that stand against the crisper before removing the crisper.
5.9 Humidity-controlled crisper (FreSHelf)
(This feature is optional)

Humidity rates of fruits and vegetables are kept under control thanks to the humidity-controlled crisper and thus the food is ensured to stay fresh for a longer period.
We recommend that you place leafy vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and vegetables sensitive to humidity loss as horizontally as possible when putting them in the crisper; not in a horizontal position on their roots.
While the vegetables are being replaced, their specific weights should be taken into consideration.
Heavy and hard vegetables must be placed at the bottom of the crisper and light and soft vegetables must be on the upper part.
Never leave the vegetables in their plastic bags in the crisper. If they are left in their plastic bags, this will cause them to rot in a little while. If you not prefer the vegetable to get in contact with other vegetables for hygienic reasons, use perforated paper or a similar material instead of plastic bags.
Do not place pears, apricots, peaches etc., especially those fruits that generate large amounts of ethylene, in the same crisper with other fruits and vegetables. The ethylene gas emitted by these fruits cause other fruits to ripen sooner and to rot in a shorter span of time.

The temperature of the Cool Control Storage Compartment may be set to 0 and 10 degrees in addition to the fridge compartment temperatures and to -6 degrees in addition to the freezer compartment temperatures. 0 degree is used to store the deli products longer, and -6 degrees is used to keep the meats up to 2 weeks in an easily sliceable condition.
The feature of switching to a Fridge or Freezer compartment is provided by a cooling element located in the closed section (Compressor Compartment) behind the refrigerator. During operation of this element, sounds similar to the sound of seconds heard from an analogue clock may be heard. This is normal and is not fault cause.
*5.13 Blue light/Harvest Fresh May not be available in all models
For the blue light,
Fruits and vegetables stored in the crispers that are illuminated with a blue light continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus preserve their vitamin content.
For Harvest Fresh,
Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the Harvest Fresh technology preserve their vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle.
If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the Harvest Fresh technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue-green or red light to illuminate the crisper for your convenience. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle.
