PART- 2. THE VARIOUS FUNCTION AND POSSIBILITIES

Thermostat Setting

FREEZER THERMOSTAT

REFRIGERATOR THERMOSTAT

Freezer and refrigerator thermostat automatically regulates the inside temperature of the compartments. By rotating the knob from position 1 to 5, colder temperatures can be obtained. In cold seasons, you can set lower positions in order to decrease the energy consumption.

Freezer Thermostat Setting;

1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set the knob between minimum and medium position.

3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food in the freezer compartment, you can set knob medium position.

5 : For freezing the fresh food. Th appliance will work longer. After you get the cold condition you must position to its original position.

Refrigerator Thermostat Setting;

1 – 2 : For less coldly conditions.

3 – 4 : For normal conditions.

5: For colder conditions.

•Note that; the ambient temperature, temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened, affects the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartment. If required, change the temperature setting.

•When you first switch on the appliance, for starting a suitable cooling, the appliance

should work 24 hours continuously until it cools down to sufficient temperature.

•In this time do not open the door so often and place a lot of food inside the appliance.

•If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting or re-plugged the unit in order not to damage the compressor.

Accessories

Magic Shelf (In some models)

Magic shelf, which is on the crisper cover, was designed to give you more place and comfort placing the things in the appliance. This shelf is mobile so you can arrange long or big containers on the crisper cover.

Making Ice Cubes (In some models)

•Take out the ice making tray

•Fill the water in level of line.

•Place the ice making tray in its original position

•When ice cubes are formed, twist the lever to drop off ice cubes into the icebox.

Do not fill the icebox with water in order to make ice. It can be broken.

Fast Freezing Shelf

•Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and fresh foods which is wanted to freeze) more quickly because of the freezing room’s greater freezing power.

•For opening the shelf pull the cover up, and slide it in to the shelf. You can close it in the same way

Note that; be sure that the cover of fast freezing shelf is closed before closing the compartment door. If not, it can not show its fast freezing power.

Chiller Shelves

Keeping food in the Chiller compartment instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartment allows food retain freshness and flavour longer, while preserving its fresh appearance. When chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash it with water.

(Water freezes at 0°C, but foods containing salt or sugar freeze at temperature lower than that)

Normally people use the chiller compartment for raw fish, lightly pickled, rice, etc...

Do not put foods you want to freeze or ice trays in order to make ice.

Crisper and Crisper Shelf (In some models)

The crisper compartment absorbs and decomposes ethylene gas (*) emitted from fruits and vegetables with a “FILTER” in the crisper shelf, keeping fruits and vegetables fresh. The filter also eliminates unpleasant odours from inside the crisper, and control the excess water released by the vegetables, maintaining a high humidity environment inside the crisper. When the crisper shelf become dirty, remove the filter by taking out the filter cover and wash the crisper cover with water.

Freezer Compartment

•To set the freezer compartment to 2-3 graphic bar will be enough for normal conditions.

•The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time and making ice cubes.

•Do not put fresh and warm foods to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use for storage of frozen foods.

•Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.

•Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and the foods which is wanted to freeze) more quickly because of the freezing room’s greater freezing power.

•While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts you will use in one time.

•While freezing fresh foods ; Maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.

•For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, turn the freezer thermostat knob to position max 24 hours before placing fresh food inthe freezer.

•After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on max position is generally sufficient,After 24 hours, don not need to set the feezer thermostat knob to position max.

•Attention; In order to save energy, When freezing small amounts of food, don not need to set the freezer thermostat knob to position max.

•For storing the frozen foods; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.

•When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.

•Frozen foods should be transported in appopriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.

•If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.

•The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

Some recommendations have been specified on pages 11, 12 and 13 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.
