Preparation

What to do for energy saving

Connecting the product to electronic energy-saving systems is harmful, as it may damage the product.

  • Do not keep the refrigerator doors open for long periods.

  • Do not place hot food or beverages into the refrigerator.

  • Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the internal air flow will reduce cooling capacity.

  • In order to store the maximum amount of food into the cooler compartment of your refrigerator, you should take out the upper drawers and place it onto the glass rack.
    The declared energy consumption of your refrigerator was determined by taking out the cooler, ice tray and upper drawers in a way that will enable maximum storage.  Using the below drawer when storing is strongly recommended. Energy saving function should be activated for best energy consumption.

  • You should not block the airflow by putting food in front of the cooler fan. A space of minimum 3cm must be left in front of the protective fan wire when placing food.

  • Depending on the product’s features; defrosting frozen foods in the cooler compartment will ensure energy saving and preserve food quality.

  • Food should be stored using the drawers in the cooler compartment in order to ensure energy saving and protect food in better conditions.

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.
    | Ice in the freezing compartment thaws automatically.
    ---|---
  • 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
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. In case this food rots, only nutritional values and eating qualities will be negatively affected. A rotting  threatening human health is not in question.

Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of the product is increase if it is regularly cleaned

| WARNING: First unplug the product before cleaning your refrigerator.
---|---

  • Never use any sharp and abrasive tools, soap, household cleaners, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
  • Dissolve one teaspoon of carbonate in half liter of water. Soak a cloth with the solution and wrung it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the appliance with this cloth and the dry thoroughly.
  • Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.
  • Clean the door with a damp cloth. To remove door and body shelves, remove all of its contents. Remove door shelves by moving them upwards. After cleaning, slide them  from top to bottom to install.
  • Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the outer surfaces and chromium coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes corrosion on such metal surfaces.
  • Do not use sharp, abrasive tools, soap, household cleaning agents, detergents, kerosene, fuel oil, varnish etc. to prevent removal and deformation of the prints on the plastic  part. Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth for cleaning and then wipe it dry.

Avoiding bad odors
Materials that may cause odor are not used in the production of our appliances. However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of  the appliance as required can bring forth the problem of odor.
Therefore, clean the refrigerator with carbonate dissolved in water every 15 days.

  • Keep the food in closed containers.
    Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odours.

  • Never keep the food that have expired best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.

Protecting the plastic surfaces
Clean with arm water immediately as the oil may cause damage on the surface when it is poured on plastic surfaces.

Door Glasses
Remove the protective foil on the glasses.
There is a coating on the surface of the glasses.This coating minimizes the stain build-up and helps to remove the possible stains and dirt easily.Glasses that are not protected  with such a coating may be subject to persistent binding of air or water based organic or inorganic dirt such as limescale, mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal oxides and  silicones that can easily and quickly cause stains or material damage. Keeping the glass clean becomes too difficult despite the regular cleaning. Consequently, the appearance and the transparency of the glass deteriorates. Harsh and corrosive cleaning methods and compounds will intensify these defects and speed up the deterioration  process.

Water-based cleaning products that are not alkaline and corrosive must be used for regular cleaning purposes.
Non-alkaline and non-corrosive materials must be used for cleaning so that the service life of this coating lasts for a long time.
These glasses are tempered to increase their durability against impacts and breaking.
A safety film is also applied to their rear surfaces as an extra safety measure in order to prevent them from causing damage to their surrounding in case of a breakage.
*Alkali is a base that forms hydroxide ions (OH¯) when it is dissolved in water.
Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (Potassium) Rb (Rubidium), Cs (Cesium) and artificial and radioactive Fr (Fan-sium) metals are called ALKALI METALS.
