What To Do For Energy Saving
WARNING: Connecting the product to electronic energy-saving systems is harmful, as it may damage the product.

This refrigerating appliance is not inten-ded to be used as a built-in appliance.
Do not keep the refrigerator doors open for long periods.
Do not place hot food or beverages in the refrigerator.
Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the internal airflow will reduce cooling capacity.
Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food. Under these circumstances, functions, and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display and so on will operate according to the needs by consuming minimum energy.
In case multiple options are present, glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the rear wall are not blocked and preferably, in a way that air outlets remain below the glass shelf. This combination may help improve air distribution and energy efficiency.
Using the below drawer when storing is strongly recommended.
Depending on the product’s features; de-frosting frozen foods in the cooler compartment will ensure energy saving and preserve food quality.
To load the maximum quantity of food into the freezer compartment of your refrigerator, the upper drawers may be taken out and the food should be placed onto the wire/glass shelves.
Food shall be stored using the drawers in the cooler compartment to ensure energy saving and protect food in better conditions.
Food packages shall not be in direct contact with the temperature sensor located in the freezer compartment.

First Use
Before using your refrigerator, make sure the necessary preparations are made in line with the instructions in the “Safety and Environmental Instructions” and “Installation” sections.

Keep the product running without placing any food inside for 6 hours and do not open the door, unless necessary.
The temperature change caused by opening and closing the door while using the product may normally lead to condensation on the door/body shelves and glassware placed in the product.

info: A sound will be heard when the compressor is engaged. It is normal for the product to make noise even if the compressor is not running, as fluid and gas may be compressed in the cooling system.

It is normal for the front edges of the refrigerator to be warm. These areas are designed to warm up to prevent condensation.
For some models, the indicator panel turns off automatically 1 minute after the door closes. It will be re-activated when the door is opened or any button is pressed.

Use of Your Appliance

Temperature Adjustment Button
Read the “Safety Instructions” section first.

Optional: Shown functions are optional, there may be differences of shape and location in functions found on your appliance’s indicator panel.
Auditory and visual functions on the indicator panel will assist you in using the refri-gerator.

The operating temperature is set by the temperature control.

1= Lowest cooling setting (Warmest set-ting)
4= Highest cooling setting (Coldest setting) MAX. = When the max position is adjusted the quick freezing function shall be activ-ated.

The freezer compartment temperature is set to -27 °C. Change the thermostat position 1 to 4 again to cancel the function. The quick freezing function will be automatic-ally cancelled after 50 hours.
To freeze a large amount of fresh food, change to the maximum position before placing the food in the freezer compartment. Please select a setting based on the de-sired temperature.
The internal temperature also depends on the ambient temperature, the frequency with which the door is opened and the amount of food stored inside.

Frequent opening of the door causes the internal temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to close the door again as soon as possible after use. The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be knob position 1 (-18 °C / 0 °F). (-18 °C / 0 °F)
Lower temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards Position 4.
We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are at the desired tem-perature.
Remember to read the temperature immediately after removing it from the freezer, as the thermometer temperature rises very quickly.

Freezing Fresh Foods

Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to the size to be consumed, and frozen in separate packages. In this way, all the food should be prevented from being re-frozen by thawing.
To protect the nutritional value, the aroma, and the color of the foods as much as possible, vegetables should be boiled for a short period before freezing. (Boiling is not necessary for foods such as cucumber, and parsley.) The cooking time of the vegetables frozen in this way is shortened by 1/3 of that of the fresh vegetables.
To extend the storage times of frozen foods, boiled vegetables must first be filtered and then hermetically packaged as in all types of foods.
Foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without a package.
The packaging material of the food to be stored should be air-tight, thick, and durable and should not deform with cold and humidity. Otherwise, the food that is hardened by freezing might pierce the package. Sealing the package well is also important in terms of securely storing the food.

The Following Packaging Types Are Suitable to Freeze Food
Polyethylene bags, aluminum foil, plastic foil, vacuum bags, and cold- resistant storage containers with caps.

The Use of Following Types of Pack-aging Is Not Recommended to Freeze Food:
Packaging paper, parchment paper, cello-phane (gelatin paper), garbage bags, used bags, and shopping bags.

Hot foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without cooling.
When placing unfrozen fresh foods in the freezer compartment, please note that it does not contact with frozen foods. Cool-pack (PCM) can be placed on the rack immediately below the quick freezing rack to prevent them from getting warm.
During the freezing time (24 hours) do not place other food in the freezer.
Place your foods on the freezing shelves or racks by spreading them so that they will not be cramped (it is recommended that the packaging does not come into contact with each other).
Frozen foods must be immediately consumed in a short period after de-frosting and must never be frozen again.
Do not block the ventilation holes by putting your frozen foods in front of the ventilation holes located on the back surface.
We recommend you attach a label to the package and write the name of the foods in the package and the freezing time.

Foods Suitable for Freezing:
Fish and seafood, red and white meat, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbaceous spices, dairy products (such as cheese, butter, and strained yogurt), pastries, ready or cooked meals, potato dishes, souffle, and desserts.

Foods Not Suitable for Freezing:
Yogurt, sour milk, cream, mayonnaise, leaved salad, red radish, grapes, and all fruits (such as apples, pears, and peaches).

For foods to be frozen quickly and thoroughly, the following specified amounts per package should not be exceeded.
- Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg
- Meat, 1-1.5 kg
A small amount of food (maximum 2 kg) can also be frozen without the use of the quick freezing function.

To obtain the best result, apply the following instructions:

You can review the Meat and Fish, Vegetables and Fruits, and Dairy Products tables for placing and storing your foods in the deep freezer.

Advice on Storing Frozen Foods

While purchasing your frozen foods, make sure that they are frozen at appropriate temperatures and their packages are not broken.
Put the packages in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after purchasing them.
Make sure that the expiration date indicated on the packaging is not expired before consuming the packaged ready meals that you remove from the freezer compartment.

Defrosting
The ice in the freezer compartments is automatically thawed.

Freezer Details
The EN 62552 standard requires (according to specific measurement conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of food for every 100 liters of freezer compartment volume can be frozen at 25 °C ambient temperature in 24 hours.

Defrosting the Frozen Foods
Depending on the food diversity and the purpose of use, a selection can be made between the following options for defrost-ing:

At room temperature (it is not very suitable to defrost the food by leaving it at room temperature for a long time in terms of maintaining the food quality)
In the refrigerator
In the electrical oven (in models with or without a fan)
In the microwave oven

CAUTION!

Never put acidic beverages in glass bottles and cans into your freezer due to the risk of explosion.
If there is moisture and abnormal swelling in the packaging of frozen foods, likely, that they were previously stored in an improper storage condition and their contents deteriorated. Do not consume these foods without checking.
Since the taste of some spices in cooked meals may change when exposed to long-term storage conditions, you must add a lesser amount of spices to your foods to be frozen or the desired spices should be added to the foods after the thawing process.
