4.1 Things to be done for saving energy
A Connecting your refrigerator to systems that save energy is dangerous as
they may cause damage on the product.
· For a freestanding appliance; `this refrigerating appliance is not intended
to be used as a builtin appliance.

the multizone compartment fans. Foods should be loaded by leaving minimum 5 cm
space in front of the protective fan grid.
· Thawing the frozen foods in the fridge compartment both saves energy and
reserves the quality of the foods.

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. You can keep the freshness of food
for many 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

Vegetables and fruits Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products that shall
be consumed in a short time)
5.7 Door open warning
(This feature is optional) The door open alert system of your refrigerator may
differ depending on the model. Version 1; If the door of the product remains
open for a certain time (between 60 s and 120 s), an audio warning signal
sounds; depending on the product
model, a visual warning signal (light flash) can also be displayed. If you
close the door of the device or press a button on the screen of the device, if
any, the warning sound will stop. Version 2; If the door of the device remains
open for a certain period of time (between 60 s and 120 s), the door open
alert is sounded. The door open alert is sounded gradually. First, an audible
warning starts to sound. After 4 minutes, if the door is still not closed, a
visual warning (lighting flash) is activated. The door open alert will be
delayed for a certain period of time (between 60 s and 120 s) when any key on
the product screen, if any, is pressed. Then the process will start again.
When the device door is closed, the door open alert will be cancelled.
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
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.
22 / 37 EN
Refrigerator / User Manual
Operating the product
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.
5.10 Egg tray

3-Movable middle section is closed when the left door of the fridge
compartment is opened.
4-It must not be opened manually. It moves under the guidance of the plastic

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.

illuminated with a blue light continue their photosynthesis by means of the
wavelength effect of blue light and thus preserve their vitamin content.
ForVitaminCare+, Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the
VitaminCare 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 VitaminCare
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,
