You can place the food that you want to freeze in order to prepare them for freezing in these compartments. You can also use these compartments if you want to store your food at a temperature a few degrees below the fridge compartment.

Odour filter

Odour filter in the air duct of the fridge compartment prevents the build-up of unpleasant odours in the refrigerator.

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.

Icematic and ice storage container

Using the Icematic

* Fill the Icematic with water and place it into its seat. Your ice will be ready approximately in two hours. Do not remove the Icematic from its seating to take ice.

* Turn the knobs on it clockwise by 90 degrees.

Ice cubes in the cells will fall down into the ice storage container below.

* You may take out the ice storage container and serve the ice cubes.

* If you wish, you may keep the ice cubes in the ice storage container.

Ice storage container

Ice storage container is only intended for accumulating the ice cubes. Do not put water in it. Otherwise, it will break.

Rotary storage container

Sliding body shelf can be moved to left or right in order to allow you place long bottles, jars or boxes to a lower shelf (Fig. 1)

You can reach the food that you have placed into the shelf by grabbing and turning it from its right edge (Fig.2). When you want to load or remove it to clean, turn it by 90 degrees, raise it up and pull towards yourself (Fig. 3-4).

6 Maintenance and cleaning

A Never use gasoline, benzene or

similar substances for cleaning purposes.

B We recommend that you unplug the

appliance before cleaning.

B Never use any sharp abrasive

instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.

C Use lukewarm water to clean the

cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.

C Use a damp cloth wrung out in

a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

B Make sure that no water enters the

lamp housing and other electrical items.

B If your refrigerator is not going to be

used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

C Check door seals regularly to ensure

they are clean and free from food particles.

A To remove door racks, remove all the

contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.

Protection of plastic surfaces

C Do not put the liquid oils or oil-

cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. In case of spilling or smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.

Door Glasses

C Remove the protective foil on the

glasses.

C 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 sliciones 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.

C Water-based cleaning products

that are not alkaline and corrosive must be used for regular cleaning purposes.

C Non-alkaline and non-corrosive

materials must be used for cleaning so that the service life of this coating lasts for a long time.

C These glasses are tempered to

increase their durability against impacts and breaking.

C 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.
