*Blue light/Harvest Fresh 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,

Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the Harvest Fresh technology preserve their vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle.
If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the Harvest Fresh technology, the refrigerator 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.

Description and cleaning of odour filter (Optional)

Odor filter prevents unpleasant odour build-up in your product.

Pull the cover into which the odour filter is installed downwards from the front section and remove as illustrated.
Leave the filter under sunlight for one day. Filter will be cleaned during this time.
Install the filter back to its place.

Odor filter must be cleaned once in a year.

Telescopic drawer

Pay attention not to squeeze any parts of your body such as hands, feet and etc. between the movable parts while the drawer is in use in order to avoid any injury.

Ionizer (Optional)

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.

Using The Product

Humidity controlled crisper (Fre Helf) (This feature is optional)

Humidity rates of the vegetables and fruit are kept under control with the feature of humidity controlled crisper and the food is ensured to stay fresh for 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, specific gravity 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 over.
Never leave the vegetables inside the crisper in their bags. If the vegetables are left inside their bags, this will cause them to decompose in a short period of time. In case contacting with other vegetables is not preferred for hygiene concerns, use a perforated paper and other similar packaging materials instead of a bag.
Do not place together the pear, apricot, peach, etc. and apple in particular which have a high level of generation of ethylene gas in the same crisper with the other vegetables and fruit. The ethylene gas which is emitted by these fruit may cause the other fruit to ripen faster and decompose in a shorter time.

Movable middle section

Movable middle section is intended to prevent the cold air inside your refrigerator from escaping outside.
Sealing is provided when the gaskets on the door presses on the surface of the movable middle section while the cooler compartment doors are closed.
Another reason that your refrigerator is equipped with a movable middle section is that it increases the net volume of the cooler compartment. Standard middle sections occupy some non-usable volume in the refrigerator.
Movable middle section is closed when the left door of the cooler compartment is closed.
It must not be opened manually. It moves under the guidance of the plastic part on the body while the door is closed.

Warning : Do not change the location of the ice container.

Using The Product

Ice maker

The ice machine is nonremovable. There must be ice container at the bottom of the ice machine.

Using The Product

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.
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 froze large quantities of food at once.
