Deodoriser Module (FreshGuard)

*May not be available in all models
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.
When you want to use the deodorizer module, please activate it from the indicator button.

Humidity controlled crisper (EverFresh+)

*May not be available in all models
Thanks to the humidity controlled crisper, vegetables and fruits may be stored 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.

Blue Light/HarvestFresh
*May not be available in all models

For Blue light,
Vegetables and fruit stored in crispers illuminated with blue light continue to perform photosynthesis and retain their levels of C vitamin thanks to the effect of the wavelength of the blue light.

For HarvestFresh,
Vegetables and fruit stored in crispers illuminated with HarvestFresh technology retain their vitamin levels (vitamins A and C) for a longer period thanks to the cycles of blue, green, red lights and dark that simulate the cycle of the day.
When the door of your refrigerator is opened during the dark period of the HarvestFresh technology, your refrigerator shall sense this automatically and illuminate the crisper with one of the blue, green or red lights respectively for your convenience. The dark period shall be continued when you close the door of your refrigerator so that it shall represent the night period of the day cycle.

Using the water fountain
*May not be available in all models

The first few glasses of water taken from the fountain will normally be warm.
If the water fountain is not used for a long time, dispose of the first few glasses of water to get clean water.

1. Push the arm of the water fountain with your glass. It would be easier to push the arm with your hand if you are using a soft plastic glass.
2. Release the arm after filling your glass with water as you desire. The amount of water flow from the fountain depends on the pressure you apply on the arm. Release the pressure on the arm slightly as the water level in your glass/container is increased to prevent overflow. Water shall drip if you press the arm slightly; this is normal and it is not a malfunction.

Filling the water tank of the water fountain
Open the lid of the water tank as shown in the figure. Fill in pure and clean drinking water. Close the lid.

Cleaning the water tank
Remove the water filling reservoir inside the door shelf.
Detach by holding both sides of the door shelf.
Hold both sides of the water tank and remove at 45° angle.
Remove and clean the water tank lid.

Using the product

Do not fill the water tank with fruit juice, fizzy beverages, alcoholic beverages or any other liquids incompatible for use in the water fountain. Using such liquids will cause malfunction and irreparable damage in the water fountain. Using
the fountain in this way is not within the scope of warranty. Such certain chemicals and additives in the beverages / liquids may cause material damage to the water tank.
The water tank and water fountain components cannot be washed with dishwashers.
Components of the water tank and water dispenser should not be washed in dishwasher.

Dairy (cold storage) bin
*May not be available in all models
“The dairy (cold storage) bin ” provides lower temperature within the refrigerator compartment. Use this bin to store delicatessen (salami, sausages, dairy products and etc. ) that requires lower storage temperature or meat, chicken or fish products for immediate consumption. Do not store fruits and vegetables inside this bin.

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

Ionizer
*May not be available in all models
The ionizer system in the cooler compartment’s air duct serves to ionize the air. The negative ion emissions will eliminate bacteria and other molecules causing odour in the air.

Odour filter
*May not be available in all models
The odour filter in the cooler compartment’s air duct will prevent undesirable odour formation.

Icematic and ice storage box
*May not be available in all models
Fill the icematic with water and put in place. The ice will be ready after approximately two hours. Do not remove the icematic to take the ice.
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.

The ice storage box is intended for storing ice only. Do not fill with water. Doing so will cause it to break.
In products with automatic ice machine, you might hear a sound when pouring the ice. This sound is normal and is not a sign of failure.

Freezing fresh food

• 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.
• To freeze a large amount of fresh food, press the rapid freeze button 24 hours before placing the food in the freezer compartment.
• 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.
• Mark each food pack by writing the date on the package before freezing.This will allow you to determine the freshness of each pack every time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier food items in the front to ensure they are used first.
• Frozen food items must be used immediately after defrosting and should not be frozen again.
• Do not free large quantities of food at once.

Recommendations for storing frozen foods

The compartment must be set to at least -18°C.

1. Place the food items in the freezer as quickly as possible to avoid defrosting.
2. Before freezing, check the “Expiry Date” on the package to make sure it is not expired.
3. Make sure the food’s packaging is not damaged.

Deep 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 in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume. Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below temperature of -18°C . You can keep the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer at or below temperatures of 18°C ).
The food items 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. Freezing these food items will simply reduce the nutritional value and food quality,
as well as possible spoiling which is harmful to health.

Placing the food

Door open alert
*May not be available in all models
An audible alert will be heard if the product’s door remains open for 1,5 minute. The audible alert will stop when the door is closed or any button on the display (if available) is pressed.

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, alcohol, wax, etc.
• The dust shall be removed from the ventilation grill on the rear of the product at least once a year (without opening the cover). Cleaning shall be performed with a dry cloth.
• Take care to keep water away from the lamp’s cover and other electrical parts.
• Clean the door with a damp cloth. Remove all contents to remove the door and body racks. Remove the door racks by lifting them upwards. Clean and dry the shelves, then attach back in place by sliding from above.
• Do not use chlorinated water or cleaning products on the exterior surface and chrome-coated parts of the product. Chlorine will cause rust on such metallic surfaces.
• Do not use sharp and abrasive tools, soap, house cleaning materials, detergents, gas, gasoline, varnish and similar substances to prevent deformation of the plastic part and removal of prints on the part. Use warm water and a soft cloth for cleaning, and then dry it.
• On the products without a No-Frost feature, water droplets and icing up to a thickness of a finger may occur on the rear wall of the freezer compartment. Do not clean, and never apply oils or similar materials.
• Use a mildly dampened micro-fiber cloth to clean the external surface of the product. Sponges and other types of cleaning clothes may cause scratches.
• To clean all removable components during the cleaning of the interior surface of the product, wash these components with a mild solution consisting of soap, water and carbonate. Wash and dry thoroughly. Prevent contact of water with illumination components and the control panel.

CAUTION:
Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol or other alcohol based cleaning agents on any interior surface.

Stainless Steel External Surfaces
Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaning agent and apply it with a soft lint-free cloth. To polish, gently wipe the surface with a micro-fiber cloth dampened with water and use dry polishing chamois. Always follow the veins of the stainless steel.

Cleaning of the Products with Glass Doors

Remove the protective foil on the glasses.
There is a coating on the surface of the glasses. This coating minimizes formation of stains and provides easy cleaning of the stains and dirts that have been formed. Glass that is not protected by coating may be exposed to permanent bonding of organic or inorganic, air and water-based contaminants such as limestone, mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal oxides and silicones, which cause staining and physical damage easily in a short period of time. Keeping the glasses clean becomes very difficult, if not impossible, despite the fact they are cleaned regularly. As a result, the transparency and appearance of the glass deteriorates. Hard and abrasive cleaning methods and agents further increase these defects and accelerate the process of deterioration.
For routine cleaning processes, *non-alkaline and non-corrosive water based cleaning products shall be used.
In order to have a longer service life of this coating, alkaline and corrosive substances shall not be used during cleaning.

A tempering process is applied to increase the resistance of these glasses against impacts and breakage.
As an additional safety precaution, a safety film has been applied to the rear surface of these glasses to prevent harm to the environment in case it breaks.

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 odours.
To avoid this, clean the inside with carbonated water every 15 days.

• Keep the foods in sealed holders. Microorganisms may spread out of unsealed food items and cause malodour.
• Do not keep expired and spoilt foods in the refrigerator.

Tea is one of the most effective odour removers. Place the pulp of the brewed tea in the product inside an open container and remove it after 12 hours at the latest. If you keep the tea pulp inside the product for longer than 12 hours, it will collect the organisms that cause the odour so it can be the source of odour itself.

Protecting Plastic Surfaces

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