Dual cooling system:
Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the
fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food
compartment and freezer compartment do not get mixed.
Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher
than other refrigerators. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also
additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed
individually.
Freezing fresh food
- Wrap or cover the food before placing them in the refrigerator.
- Hot food must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.
- The foodstuff that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.
- Foodstuff must be divided into portions according to the family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.
- Foodstuff must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be kept for a short time.
- Materials to be used for packagings must be resistant to cold and humidity and they must be airtight. The packaging material of the food must be at a sufficient thickness and durability. Otherwise the food hardened due to freezing may puncture the packaging. It is important for the packaging to be closed securely for safe storage of the food.
- Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.
- Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.
- Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
-
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.
-
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
-
Make sure raw foods are not in contact with cooked foods in the fridge.
-
Maximum frozen food storage volume is achieved without using the drawers provided in the freezer compartment.
Energy consumption of your appliance is declared while the freezer compartment is fully loaded on shelves without the use of the drawers. -
It is recommended that you place foodstuffs on top shelf of freezer for initial freezing.
Compartment for keeping perishable food (low temperature 1-2°C – +3°C).
This compartment was designed to store frozen food, which can be defrosted
slowly (meat, fish, chicken,etc) as needed. Low temperature compartment is the
coldest place in refrigerator where dairy products (cheese,butter), meat fish
or chicken can be kept in ideal conditions storage.
Vegetables and/or fruits should not be placed in this compartment.
Deodorising Module (FreshGuard) *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. In daily use, the deodoriser module will turn on automatically on
a periodic basis. To maintain efficient performance, it is recommended to have
the filter in the deodoriser module by the authorised service provider every 5
years. Due to the fan integrated into the module, the noise you will hear
during operation is normal. 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 after some time the door is closed again. In case of power
failure, the deodoriser module will resume where it has left off in the total
operation duration once the power is back.
,QIR 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.

Deep-freeze information
Food must be frozen as rapidly as possible when they are put in the freezer in
order to keep them in good quality.
The TSE norm requires (according to certain measurement conditions) the
refrigerator to freeze at least 4.5 kg of foodstuff at 32°C ambient
temperature to -18°C or lower within 24 hours for every 100-liters of freezer
volume. It is possible to preserve the food for a long time only at -18°C or
lower temperatures.
You can keep the freshness of food for many months (at -18°C or lower
temperatures in the deep freeze).
WARNING!
- Foodstuff must be divided into portions according to the family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.
- Foodstuff must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be kept for a short time.
- Materials necessary for packaging:
- Cold resistant adhesive tape
- Self-adhesive label
- Rubber rings
- Pen
- Materials to be used for packaging the foodstuff must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, dour, oils and acids.
- Foodstuff to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with previously frozen items to pre partial thawing.
Recommendations for the fresh food compartment *optional
