At high room temperatures:

Temperature button must be set to a cooler position if the food is going to be frozen or large amounts of food will be loaded.

If the food in the fridge compartment

cools too much or freezes, temperature button must be set to position “1”.

If the fridge compartment is colder then the required 24 hours after the initial startup, open the lower door and turn the fridge compartment temperature setting button towards to the position “1” and if it is warmer then the required, slightly turn it towards to the position “5”.

13 EN

Freezer compartment temperature setting button

Freezer compartment setting button can be set to a position between

Normal and Quick Freezing.

•In Normal position, the amount of the air sent to the fridge compartment reaches to maximum.

•In Quick Freezing position, the amount of the air sent to the freezer compartment reaches to maximum. And the amount of the air sent to the fridge compartment decreases to minimum. In this case, the temperature of the fridge compartment will increase. This is normal.

•If you do not need more cooling in either of the compartments, leave the setting button in Normal position.

•In cases where the room temperature is high (25 °C and above), it is suggested to set the freezer compartment setting button to a position near the Normal.

Deep-freeze information

Food must be frozen as rapidly as possible when they are p

ut in a refrigerator in order to keep them in good quality.

The TSE norm requires (according to certain measurement conditions) the refrigerator to freeze at least 4.5 kg of foodstuff at 32°C ambient temperature to -18°C or lower within 24 hours for every 100-liters of freezer volume.

It is possible to keep the food for a long time only at -18°C or lower temperatures.

You can keep the freshness of food for many months (at -18°C or lower temperatures in the deep freeze).

WARNING! A

•Foodstuff must be divided into portions according to the family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.

•Foodstuff must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be kept for a short time.

Materials necessary for packaging:

•Cold resistant adhesive tape

•Self adhesive label

•Rubber rings

•Pen

Materials to be used for packaging the foodstuff must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids.

Foodstuff to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent their partial thawing.

Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.

Crisper humidity control sliders

Using the crisper humidity control sliders

Crisper of your refrigerator is designed specially to keep your vegetables fresh without loosing their humidity. Cold air circulates basically around the crisper and the amount of the cold air passing through the crisper is controlled by the sliders on the front side of the crisper cover.

You can adjust the humidity control sliders to a suitable position according to the humidity and cooling condition of your food in the crisper.

If you want your food in the crisper to cool more, open the holes of the humidity control sliders and if you want them to cool less and keep their humidity for a longer time, close the holes.

Using the rotary crisper (in some models)

The crisper of your refrigerator which opens with a rotating movement is designed specially to provide ease of usage and allow you to store more vegetables and fruits (large volume) you buy during large shopping.

When you grab and pull the handle on the lower left hand side of the crisper, it will rotate from left to right and open easily. The separator in the crisper will allow you to separate the vegetables and fruits according to their types and prevent them from crushing.
