Deodoriser Module (FreshGuard)
- The deodoriser module quickly eliminates the bad smells in your refrigerator before they permeate the surfaces. Thanks to this module, which is placed on the ceiling of the fresh food compartment, the bad odours dissolve while the air is actively being passed on the odour filter, then the air that has been cleaned by the filter is re- emitted to the fresh food compartment.
- This way, the unwanted odours that may emerge during the storage of foods in the refrigerator are eliminated before they permeate the surfaces.
- This is achieved thanks to the fan, LED and the odour filter integrated into the module. In daily use, the deodoriser module will turn on automatically on a periodic basis.
- To maintain efficient performance, it is recommended to have the filter in the deodoriser module by the authorised service provider every 5 years.
- Due to the fan integrated into the module, the noise you will hear during operation is normal. If you open the door of the fresh food compartment while the module is active, the fan will pause temporarily and resume where it has left off after some time the door is closed again.
- In case of power failure, the deodoriser module will resume where it has left off in the total operation duration once the power is back.
- It is recommended to store aromatic foods (such as cheese, olives and delicatessen foods) in their packaging and sealed to avoid bad odours that may result when smells of various foods get mixed.
- Besides, it is recommended to take spoiled foods out of the refrigerator quickly to prevent the other foods from getting spoiled and avoid bad odours.
*Blue light/HarvestFresh May not be available in all models**
- For the 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.
- For Harvest Fresh,

- HarvestFresh technology, the refrige-rator 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, representing the night time in a day cycle.
Freezing fresh food
- 8 hours before freezing the fresh food activate the Quick Freeze function.
- To preserve food quality, the food items placed in the freezer compartment must be frozen as quickly as possible, use the rapid freezing for this.
- Freezing the food items when fresh will extend the storage time in the freezer compartment.
- Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal tightly.
- Make sure the food items are packed before putting in the freezer. Use freezer holders, tinfoil and damp-proof paper, plastic bag or similar packaging materials instead of traditional packaging paper.
