Dual cooling system:
Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling
systems, cooling speed is much higher than other refrigerators. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.
Freezing fresh food
•Wrap or cover the food before placing them in .
•Hot food must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.
•The foodstuff that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.
•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 to be used for packagings must be resistant to cold and humidity and they must be airtight. The packaging material of the food must be at a sufficient thickness and durability. Otherwise the food hardened due to freezing may puncture the packaging. It is important for the packaging to be closed securely for safe storage of the food.
•Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.

Water Dispenser
*optional
The water dispenser is a very useful feature allowing cold water on tap without opening the door of your refrigerator .As you will not have to open your refrigerator door frequently, you will have saved energy.
Using the water dispenser
Push the arm of the water dispenser with your glass. The dispenser will cease operating once you release the arm.
When operating the water dispenser, maximum flow can be obtained
by pressing the arm fully. Please remember that the amount of flow from the dispenser is subject to the degree you press the arm.
As the level of the water in your glass/ container rises, slightly lessen the pressure on the arm to prevent the overspill. If you slightly press the arm, the water will drip; this is quite normal and not a failure.
Filling the water dispenser's tank
Open the cover of the water tank as shown in the figure. Fill in the pure and clean drinking water. Close the cover.
To avoid flowing of water by mistake, we recommend you to lock the water dispenser .
Warning!
•Do not fill the water tank with any other liquid except for water such as fruit juices, carbonated beverages or alcoholic drinks which are not
suitable to use in the water dispenser. Water dispenser will be irreparably damaged if these kinds of liquids are used. Warranty does not cover such usages. Some chemical substances and additives contained in these kinds of drinks/liquids may damage the water tank.
•Use clean and pure drinking water only.
21 EN
•Capacity of the water tank is 2.2 Litres (3.8 pints); do not overfill.
•Push the arm of the water dispenser with a rigid glass. If you are using disposable plastic glasses, push the arm with your fingers from behind the glass.
