• Avoid buying foods whose packages are covered with ice etc. This means that the product could be partially defrosted and refrozen. Temperature impacts the qual-ity of the food.
• Do not excess the storing time recom-mended by the food producer. Remove only the food as much as you need from the freezer.
• Except the cases where extreme circum-stances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set values, the food keep their freshness for a longer time both in the fresh product compartment and freezer compartment.
• If fresh food compartment is set to a lower temperature, fresh fruits and veget-ables may be partially frozen.

Recommended set values table

When the process ends, the product’s settings will return to previous position.
-18 °C or colder| 2 °C| Use these settings if you believe the cooler compartment is not cold enough due to ambient temperature or frequently opening the door.

Quick freezing

1. Activate the quick freezing function 24 hours before placing your fresh foods.
2. After 24 hours after pressing the but-ton, place your food that you want to freeze in the third or fourth drawers with higher freezing capacity.
3. The quick freezing function will be automatically deactivated after 24 hours.

Freezer details

• As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4.5 kg of food items at -18 °C or lower temperatures at 25 °C room temperature in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume.
• Food products can only be preserved for extended periods at or below temperature of -18 °C.
• You can keep the foods fresh for months (in freezer at or below temperatures of -18 °C).
• The food products to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting.
• Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer. Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and similar food items should not be frozen. In case these foods are frozen, only nutri-tional values and eating qualities  will be negatively affected. A rotting that would threaten human health is not in question.

Placing the food

1. Freezer compartment shelves: Different frozen foods like meat, fish, ice cream, ve-getables etc.
2. Cooler compartment shelves: Food items inside pots, capped plate and capped cases, eggs (in closed case)
3. Cooler compartment door shelves: Small and packaged food or beverages Crisper: Vegetables and fruits
4. Fresh food compartment: Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products to be con-sumed in short time)

Storing food in the cooler compartment

• Compartment temperatures rise promin-ently if compartment door is opened and closed frequently and kept open for a long time, this can reduce the life span of the food and cause the food to spoil.
• In order not to cause odour and taste changes, the food should be stored in the closed containers.
• Do not store too much food in your refri-gerator. To achieve a better and homo-geneous cooling, place the food separ-ately in a way that cold air can wander through them.
• Provide air flow by leaving a space between the food and internal wall. If you lean the food against the rear wall, the food may freeze.
• Bring cooked hot meals to the room tem-perature before placing them in the refri-gerator. Then, you can place the tepid meal in the lower shelves of your refriger-ator. Do not place the tepid meals close to the foods which may easily spoil.
• Defrost your frozen food in the fresh food compartment. Thereby, you can cool fresh food compartment by using frozen food and save energy.
• Storing unripe tropical fruits (mango, melon varieties, papaya, banana, pine-apple) in the refrigerator may speed up the ripening process This is not recom-mended because it will cause shorter storage time.
• You should store onions, garlics, gingers and other root vegetables in dark and cold room conditions, not in the refriger-ator.
• If you notice that a food has spoiled in the refrigerator, throw away that food and clean the accessories which have come into contact with it.
• In order to cool the meals like soups and stews, which are cooked in the large pots, quickly, you can put them in the re-frigerator by separating them into their own shallow containers.
• Do not place unpackaged food close to eggs.
• Keep the fruits and vegetables separately and store each variety together (for ex-ample; apples with apples, carrots with carrots)
• Take green vegetables out of the plastic bag and place them in the refrigerator after wrapping them in a paper towel or drying cloth. If you wash this type of food before placing them in the refrigerator, re-member to dry them.
• You can both create a damp environment and provide an air flow by keeping fruits and vegetables, which are prone to dry-ing, in the perforated or unsealed plastic bags.
• Except the cases where extreme circum-stances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set values, the food keep their freshness for a longer time both in the fresh product compartment and freezer compartment.

Replacing the Illumination Lamp
Call the Authorized Service when the Bulb/LED used for lighting in your refrigerator will be replaced. Lamp(s) used in this appliance cannot be used for house lighting. Intended use of this lamp is to help the user place food into the refrigerator / freezer safely and com-fortably.

Door Open Alert
The door open alert system of your refriger-ator 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 but-ton 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.

Product Features

The ice storage area

Icematic and Ice Storage Box
Fill the icematic with water and put in place. The ice will be ready after approxim-ately two hours. Do not remove the the ice maker to take the ice.

The ice storage box is intended for storing ice only. Do not freeze wa-ter in it. Doing so will cause it to break.

NOTICE: A sound may be made during ice pouring. This sound is normal. Turn the buttons on the ice chambers right-hand side by 90°; the ice will fall to the ice storage box below. You may then remove the ice storage box and serve the ice.

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.

Egg holder
You can place the egg holder on the door or body shelf you wish. If the egg holder is to be placed on the body shelf, we recommend you to choose colder lower shelves. Never place the egg holder on the freezer compartment

Crisper
The refrigerator’s crisper is designed to keep vegetables fresh by preserving their humidity. For this purpose, the overall cold air circulation is intensified in the crisper. Keep fruits and vegetables in this compart-ment. Keep the green-leaved vegetables and fruits separately to prolong their life.

Crisper Technologies

Blue Light
Fruits and vegetables stored in the crispers that are illuminated with a blue light con-tinue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus preserve their vitamin content.

VitaminZone
Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illu-minated with theVitaminZone technology preserve their vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle. When the door of your refrigerator is opened during the dark period of theVitam-inZone technology, your refrigerator shall sense this automatically and illuminate the crisper with one of the blue, green or red lights respectively for your convenience. After you have closed the door of the refri-gerator, the dark period will continue, rep-resenting the night time in a day cycle.

Humidity Controlled Crisper

Full fresh
With the humidity controlled crisper feature, the humidity of vegetables and fruits is kept under control and the food is kept fresh for a longer period of time.

We recommend that you place leafy veget-ables such as lettuce, spinach and similar vegetables that are sensitive to moisture loss in the crisper, not upright on their roots, but as horizontally as possible. When placing the vegetables, place heavy and hard vegetables at the bottom and light and soft ones on the top, taking into ac-count the specific weights of vegetables. Never leave vegetables in plastic bags in the crisper. Leaving them in plastic bags causes vegetables to rot in a short time. In situations where contact with other ve-getables is not preferred, use packaging materials such as paper that has a certain level of porosity in terms of hygiene.
Do not put fruits that have a high ethylene gas production such as pear, apricot, peach and particularly apple in the same crisper with other vegetables and fruits. The ethyl-ene gas coming out of these fruits might cause other vegetables and fruits to mature faster and rot in a shorter period of time.

Maintenance and Cleaning

WARNING:
Read the “Safety Instructions” section first.

WARNING:
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning it.

• Do not use sharp or abrasive tools to clean the product. Do not use materials such as household cleaning agents, soap, detergents, gas, gasoline, thinner, alcohol, wax, etc.
