Storing Food in the Cooler Compartment
Storing Food in the Cooler Compartment

  • Compartment temperatures rise prominently if the 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 odor and taste changes, the food should be stored in closed containers.
  • Do not store too much food in your refrigerator.
  • To achieve better and homogeneous cooling, place the food separately in a way that cold air can wander through them.
  • Provide air flow by leaving a space between the food and the internal wall. If you lean the food against the rear wall, the food may freeze.
  • Bring cooked hot meals to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.
  • Then, you can place the tepid meal on the lower shelves of your refrigerator.
  • Do not place the tepid meals close to the foods that may easily spoil.
  • Defrost your frozen food in the fresh food compartment. Thereby, you can cool fresh food compartments by using frozen food and save energy.
  • Storing unripe tropical fruits (mango, melon varieties, papaya, banana, pineapple)in the refrigerator may speed up the ripening process. This is not recommended because it will cause shorter storage time.
  • You should store onions, kinds of garlic, gingers and other root vegetables in dark and cold room conditions, not in the refrigerator.
  • If you notice that food has spoiled in the refrigerator, throw away that food and clean the accessories that have come into contact with it.
  • In order to cool the meals like soups and stews, which are cooked in large pots, quickly, you can put them in the refrigerator 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 example; 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 it in the refrigerator, remember to dry it.
  • You can both create a damp environment and provide an air flow by keeping fruits and vegetables, which are prone to drying, in perforated or unsealed plastic bags.
  • Except the cases where extreme circumstances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set values, the food keeps their freshness for a longer time both in the fresh product compartment and freezer compartment.

  • Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to the size to be consumed, and frozen in separate packages.
  • It is recommended to pack the foods before placing them in the freezer.
  • In order to prevent expiration of storage time, write the freezing date, time, and name of the product on the package according to the storage times of different foods.
  • Consume the foods you have defrosted quickly. Defrosted foods cannot be frozen again unless they are cooked. It is not safe to consume refrozen fresh foods without cooking after they are defrosted.
  • As you freeze fresh foods, do not bring them in contact with already frozen foods. Otherwise, frozen foods will be defrosted. Storing The Foods, that are Sold Frozen
  • Always follow the instructions of the producer in relation to the time during which you are required to store your food. Do not exceed the time specified in these instructions!
  • In order to protect the quality of the food, keep the time interval between purchasing transactions and storing as short as possible.
  • Buy frozen food which are stored at –18 °C or lower temperatures.
  • Avoid buying foods whose packages are covered with ice etc. This means that the product could be partially defrosted and refrozen. Temperature impacts the quality of the food.
  • Do not excess the storing time recommended by the food producer. Remove only the food as much as you need from the freezer.
  • Except the cases where extreme circumstances 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 vegetables may be partially frozen.

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 the 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 nutritional values and eating qualities will be negatively affected. A rotting that would threaten human health is not in question.

Placing The Food

  • Freezer compartment shelves: Different frozen foods like meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables, etc.
  • Cooler compartment shelves: Food items inside pots, capped plates and capped cases, eggs (in closed case)
  • Cooler compartment door shelves: Small and packaged food or beverages
  • Crisper: Vegetables and fruits
  • Fresh food compartment: Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products to be consumed in a short time)

Humidity-controlled crisper Full of 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 vegetables 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 account the specific weights of the 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 vegetables 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 ethylene gas coming out of these fruits might cause other vegetables and fruits to mature faster and rot in a shorter period of time.

Reversing the Door Opening Side
The door opening side of your refrigerator can be reversed according to the place you put it. When you need this, you should definitely call the nearest Authorized Service.

Door Open Alert
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.

Foldable Wine Rack
It allows the user to store wine bottles if necessary. To use the rack section, grasp the plastic part and gently pull it down. You can now use the foldable wine rack. It is recommended to store a maximum of 2 wine bottles on the foldable wine rack.

To group the wine rack, first remove the glass shelf from the refrigerator. Place it on the glass shelf by pushing the plastic part through the front and back grooves as shown in the picture. The product will be ready to use with the foldable wine rack. To remove the foldable wine rack, first remove the glass shelf from the refrigerator. Then grab the plastic part and pull it in any direction. You can now use the product without a foldable wine rack when needed.

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 comfortably.

AeroFresh

  • It is an air distribution system that provides homogeneous temperature distribution.
  • MWith the air circulation, the homogeneous temperature distribution is ensured in the fresh food storage compartment, and the temperature fluctuations are kept at low levels.
  • No direct air blowing over the food is realized and this helps to reduce moisture loss.
  • It preserves the freshness of the food stored in the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator.
  • In this way, your food is stored at more stable temperatures and the contact with air is reduced. The drying and shrinking of foods by losing moisture is prevented and freshness is provided for a longer 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.

Preventing Odours
The product is manufactured free of any odorous materials. However, keeping the food in inappropriate sections and improper cleaning of internal surfaces may lead to odors.

  • To avoid this, clean the inside with carbonated water every 15 days.
  • Keep the foods in sealed holders, as micro-organisms arising from foods kept in unsealed containers will cause bad odor.
  • Do not keep expired and spoilt foods in the refrigerator.

Protecting Plastic Surfaces

  • Oil spilled on plastic surfaces may damage the surface and must be cleaned immediately with warm water.
