• You may store the food longer in freezer compartment when you freeze them while they are fresh.
• Pack the food to be frozen and close the packing so that it would not allow entrance of air.
• Ensure that you pack your food before putting them in the freezer. Use freezer containers, foils and moisture-proof papers, plastic bags and other packing materials instead of traditional packing papers.
• Label each pack of food by adding the date before freezing. You may distinguish the freshness of each food pack in this way when you open your freezer each time. Store the food frozen before in the front side of compartment to ensure that they are used first.

Remarks
These settings are recommended when the ambient temperature exceeds 30°C/ 86°F.
Use when you wish to freeze your food in a short time. Your product will return to its previous mode when the process is over.
Use these settings if you think that your fridge compartment is not cold enough because of the hot ambient conditions or frequent opening and closing of the door.
5.3 Recommendations for preserving the frozen food
Compartment shall be set to -18°C/ 0°F at least.
1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly as
possible after purchase without allowing the to thaw.
2. Check whether the "Use By" and "Best
Before" dates on the packaging are expired or not before freezing it.
3. Ensure that the package of the food is not
damaged.
5.4 Deep-freeze information
According to IEC 62552 standards, the product shall freeze at least 4.5 kg of food at 25°C/ 77°F ambient temperature to -18°C / 0°For lower within 24 hours for every 100-litres of freezer volume. It is possible to preserve the food for a long time only at -18°C/ 0°F or lower temperatures. You can keep the freshness of food for many months (at -18°C/ 0°F or lower temperatures in the deep freeze). Foods to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent them from getting thawed partially.

Refrigerator / User Manual
Operating the product
Boil the vegetables and drain their water in order to store vegetables for a longer time as frozen. After draining their water, put them in air-proof packages and place them inside the freezer. Food such as bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes are not suitable for freezing. When these foods are frozen, only their nutritional value and taste shall be affected negatively. They shall not be spoiled so that they would create a risk for human health.
5.5 Placing the food
Freezer compartment shelves
Refrigerator compartment shelves
Door shelves of fridge compartment
Crisper Vegetables and fruits
Fresh zone compartment
Various frozen food such as meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables and etc.
Food in pans, covered plates and closed containers, eggs (in closed container)
Small and packaged food or beverage
Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products that shall be consumed in a short time)
5.6 Door open warning
(This feature is optional)
An audio warning signal will be given when the door of your product is left open for 1 minute. This warning will be muted when the door is closed or any of the display buttons (if any) are pressed.
5.7 Chiller compartment
Chiller compartments allow you to prepare the food for freezing. You can also use these compartments to store your food at a temperature a few degrees below the fridge compartment. You can increase the inner volume of your refrigerator by removing any of the chiller compartments:
1. Pull the compartment towards yourself until it stops.
2. Lift the compartment about 1 cm up and pull towards yourself to remove it from its seating.
5.8 Crisper
Crisper of the refrigerator is designed specially to keep the vegetables fresh without loosing their humidity. For this purpose, cool air circulation is intensified around the crisper in general. Remove the door shelves that stand against the crisper before removing the crisper.
5.9 Humidity-controlled crisper
(FreSHelf)
(This feature is optional)
Humidity rates of fruits and vegetables are kept under control thanks to the humidity-controlled crisper and thus the food is ensured to stay fresh for a longer period.
We recommend that you place leafy vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and vegetables sensi­tive to humidity loss as horizontally as possible when putting them in the crisper; not in a horizon­tal position on their roots.
While the vegetables are being replaced, their spe­cific weights should be taken into consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables must be placed at the bottom of the crisper and light and soft vegetables must be on the upper part.
16 / 25EN
Refrigerator / User Manual
Operating the product
Never leave the vegetables in their plastic bags in the crisper. If they are left in their plastic bags, this will cause them to rot in a little while. If you not prefer the vegetable to get in contact with other vegetables for hygienic reasons, use perforated paper or a similar material instead of plastic bags.
Do not place pears, apricots, peaches etc., especially those fruits that generate large amounts of ethylene, in the same crisper with other fruits and vegetables. The ethylene gas emitted by these fruits cause other fruits to ripen sooner and to rot in a shorter span of time.
5.10 Egg tray
You can install the egg holder to the desired door or body shelf. Never keep the egg holder in the freezer compartment.
5.11 Movable Middle Section
Movable middle section is intended to prevent the cold air inside your refrigerator from escaping outside.
1- Sealing is provided when the gaskets on the door presses on the surface of the movable middle section while the fridge compartment doors are closed.
2- Another reason that your refrigerator is equipped with a movable middle section is that it increases the net volume of the fridge compart­ment. Standard middle sections occupy some non-usable volume in the refrigerator.
3-Movable middle section is closed when the left door of the fridge compartment is opened.

You can keep the compartment at the desired temperature with the Cool Control Storage Compartment's Temperature Setting Button. The temperature of the Cool Control Storage Compartment may be set to 0 and 10 degrees in addition to the fridge compartment temperatures and to -6 degrees in addition to the freezer compartment temperatures. 0 degree is used to store the deli products longer, and -6 degrees is used to keep the meats up to 2 weeks in an easily sliceable condition.
The feature of switching to a Fridge or Freezer compartment is provided by a cooling element located in the closed section (Compressor Compartment) behind the refrigerator. During operation of this element, sounds similar to the sound of seconds heard from an analogue clock may be heard. This is normal and is not fault cause.
