- 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.
- This product has been designed to function at ambient temperatures up to 43 °C (90 SDgrF). Even if the ambient temperature falls to -15 °C, frozen food in the freezer does not thaw thanks to its Advanced Electronic Temperature Control System. For the first installation, the product should NOT be placed under low ambient temperatures. This is because the freezer cannot go down to standard operation temperature. When reaching continuous operation, the product can be moved to another place. Thus, later you can place your product in the garage or an unheated room without the concern of causing frozen food to get rotten. However, it is likely that above mentioned low temperatures may cause the freezing of the food in the fridge compartment; thus, please consume the food items in the fridge in a controlled way as needed. When ambient temperature goes back to normal, you may change button setting according to your need.
- If the ambient temperature is below 0°C, the food in fridge compartment will freeze. Therefore, we recommend not using the fridge compartment in such low ambient temperatures. You may continue to use the freezer compartment as usual.

continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light
and thus, preserve their freshness and increase their vitamin content.
Sliding storage container*
optional**
This accessory is designed to increase the usage volume of the door shelves.
It allows you to easily place the tall bottles, jars and tins to the lower
bottle shelf thanks to its ability to move right or left.
(The illustrated figure is only an example and does not match exactly with
your product.)
Rotary storage container
(in some models)
Sliding body shelf can be moved to left or right in order to allow you place
the tall bottles, jars or boxes to the lower shelf (Fig. 1)
You can reach the food that you have placed into the shelf by grabbing and
turning it from its right edge (Fig.2).
When you want to load or remove it to clean, turn it by 90 degrees, raise it
up and pull towards yourself (Fig. 3-4).
Auto Icematic
*optional
The Auto Icematic allows you to make ice in the fridge easily. Remove the
water tank in the fridge compartment, fill it wilt water and install it back
to obtain ice from the Icematic.
First ice cubes will be ready in approximately 2 hours in the Icematic drawer
located in the freezer compartment.
If you fill the water tank completely, you will be able to obtain
approximately 60-70 ice cubes.
Change the water in water tank if it has waited around 2-3 weeks.
Note: For the products having automatic Icematic, sound may be heard
during ice pouring. This sound is normal and does not signal any error.
Icematic
and ice storage container*
optional
Using the Icematic
Fill the Icematic with water and place it into its seat. Your ice will be
ready approximately in two hours. Do not remove the Icematic from its seating
to take ice.
Turn the knobs on the ice reservoirs clockwise by 90 degrees.
Ice cubes in the reservoirs will fall down into the ice storage container
below.
You may take out the ice storage container and serve the ice cubes.
If you wish, you may keep the ice cubes in the ice storage container.
Ice storage container Ice storage container is only intended for accumulating
the ice cubes. Do not put water in it. Otherwise, it will break.
Making ice
optional
Fill the ice container with water and place it into the freezer compartment.
Your ice will be ready approximately in two hours.
You can remove the ice in the ice container by removing it from the freezer
and twisting it. Humidity-controlled crisper
(Ever Fresh)
optional**
Humidity rates of the vegetables and fruit are kept under control with the
feature of humidity-controlled crisper and the food is ensured to stay fresh
for longer.
Humidity setting slides which are located at the front of the crisper cover
make sure that the humidity level in the crisper is controlled depending on
the vegetable and fruit contained in the crisper. Keep the fruit such as
orange, lemon, grapefruit, avocado, pineapple (uncut), quince and the
vegetables such as onion, garlic and potato at a low level of humidity.
Vegetables and fruit apart from these should be kept at a high level of
humidity in order to reduce the humidity loss and extend their shelf life. If
condensation is observed on the surface of the crisper when the crisper is
overloaded with leafy vegetables with large surfaces or vegetables such as
cucumber that loses its humidity quickly, then open the slide flaps.
The position in which the openings are fully open is the low humidity
position. When it is closed, it is at high level of humidity.
Never block the air vents which are located in front of the slide flaps on the
front side of the crisper cover.
To prevent condensation, vegetables should be avoided to contact the ceiling
of the crisper as much as possible and the ceiling openings should not be
blocked. Place the leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and the
vegetables which are sensitive to humidity loss, in a horizontal manner as
much as possible inside the crisper, not on their roots in a vertical
position.
Never leave the vegetables inside the crisper in their bags. If the vegetables
are left inside their bags, this will cause them to decompose in a short
period of time.
When a high level of humidity is set, your vegetables keep their humidity
content and can be preserved for a reasonable period of time without needing
to leave them inside their bags. In case contacting with other vegetables is
not preferred for hygiene concerns, use a perforated paper, foam 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.
Do not take the crisper main body out of the refrigerator apart from the
drawers unless you have to, and call for technical service if necessary.
Before removing the crisper main body from its place, wipe and clean it with a
wet piece of cloth.
