FOOD STORAGE AND COMPARTMENT USAGE

Freezing fresh food

• Wrap the food or place them in a covered container before putting them in the refrigerator.
• Hot food and beverages must cool down to room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.
• The food that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.
• Pack the food in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be stored for a short time.
• Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, oils and acids and they must also be airtight. All packaging must be completely sealed.
• Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be refrozen.
• Do not freeze excessively large quantities of food at one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.

Recommendations for preserving frozen food

To ensure the quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and food retailer is maintained, follow the steps listed below:

1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2. Make sure that contents of the package are labelled and dated.
3. Check whether the “Use By” and “Best Before” dates on he packaging are exceeded or not.

Placing the food

Freezer compartment shelves| Various frozen food such as meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables and etc.
---|---
Fridge compartment shelves| Food in pans, covered plates and closed containers
Fridge compartment door shelves| Small and packaged food or beverage (such as milk, fruit juice, beer and etc.)
Crisped| Vegetables and fruits
Fresh zone compartment| Delicatessen products (cheese, butter, salami and etc.

Deep-freeze information

You can keep the freshness of food for many months (at -15°C or lower temperatures in the deep freeze).

 Divided the food into portions according to your family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.

 Pack the food in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be stored for a short time.

• Material necessary for packaging
• Cold resistant adhesive tape
• Self adhesive label
• Rubber rings
• Pen

Removing door shelves

You can remove the door shelves to clean them.
Push the desired shelf up to remove it. Do not remove the door shelf when there is food in it. First, empty the food inside them.

Glass shelves

You can remove the glass shelves to clean them. Be careful when removing the shelves since they are heavy.

Crisper bins (in some models)

Crisper bins allow you to prepare the food for freezing. You can also use these compartments to store your food at a temperature a few degrees below the fridge compartment.

You can increase the inner volume of your refrigerator by removing any of the chiller compartments:

1. Pull the compartment towards yourself until it stops.
2. Lift the compartment about 1cm up and pull towards yourself to remove it from its seating.

Deli Drawer

The Deli Drawer is designed with cool air circulation intensified around it. This allows for items stored in the drawer to be generally fresh food compartment than average Fresh Food temperatures. If required, remove door shelves prior to Deli Drawer removal.

Humidity controlled crisper (Ever Fresh+)

Humidity levels of the vegetables and fruit are kept under control with the feature of humidity controlled crisper and the food is ensured to stay fresh longer. We recommend you to 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. While the vegetables are being placed, individual weights 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 on top. Never leave vegetables inside the crisper in their bags. This will cause them to decompose prematurely. If you wish to keep vegetables separate, use perforated paper bags or similar materials to do so.

Certain fruits such as pears, apricots, peaches or apples generate high levels of ethylene gas.
Do not place them with other fruits and vegetables which do not, as this will cause them to decompose faster.

Harvest Fresh

Crispers of the refrigerator are illuminated with blue light. Food stored in the crispers continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus, preserve their freshness and preserves their vitamin content.

Odor filter

Odor filter in the air duct of the fridge compartment prevents build-up of unpleasant odors in the refrigerator.
