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

• Fresh food compartment: Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products to be consumed in short time)

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 compartment. Keep the green-leaved vegetables and fruits separately to prolong their life.

Humidity Controlled Crisper Everfresh

With the humidity controlled crisper, you can store vegetables and fruits for a longer period at an environment with ideal humidity conditions. With the humidity setting system with 3 options in front of your crisper, you may control the humidity inside the compartment as per the food you store. We recommend you to store your food by selecting vegetable option when you store vegetables only, fruit option when you store fruit only and mixed option when you store mixed food.

We recommend that the vegetables and fruits shall not be stored in bags to improve the storage period of the food and to better benefit from the humidity control system. Leaving them in plastic bags causes vegetables to rot in a short time. We recommend that cucumbers and broccolis, in particular, are not stored in closed bags. 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.

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 vegetables. 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.

Crisper Technologies

Blue Light

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

HarvestFresh

Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with theHarvestFresh 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 theHarvestFresh 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 refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle.

Dairy Products Cold Storage Area

Cold Storage Drawer

The Cold Storage Drawer can reach lower temperatures in the cooler compartment. Use this drawer for delicatessen products (salami, sausage, etc.) and dairy products that require colder storage conditions, or for meat, chicken or fish to be consumed quickly. It is not suitable to store fruits and vegetables in this drawer.

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.

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 beused for house lighting. Intended use of this lamp is to help the user place food into the refrigerator / freezer safely and comfortably.

AeroFlow

It is an air distribution system that provides homogeneous temperature distribution. With the air circulation, the homogeneous temperature distribution is ensured in the fresh food storage compartment, and the temperature fluctuations are kept at lowlevels.

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.
