Operating the product
5.2 Dual cooling system
Your refrigerator is equipped with three separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food
compartment, frozen food compartment and multi zone compartment. Thus, air and odour in the fresh food compartment and frozen food compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher then other refrigerators. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.
5.3 Freezing fresh food
•Wrap the food or place them in a covered container before putting them in the refrigerator.
•Hot food and beverages must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.
•The food that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.
•Divided the food into portions according to your family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.
•Pack the food in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be stored for a short time.
•Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odour, oils and acids and they must also be airtight. Moreover, they must be well closed and they must be made from easy-to-use materials that are suitable for deep-freezers.
•Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be refrozen.
•Do not freeze too large quantities of food at one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
•Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.

The TSE norm requires (according to certain measurement conditions) the refrigerator to freeze at least 4.5 kg of food at 32°C ambient temperature to -18°C or 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 or lower temperatures.
You can keep the freshness of food for many months (at -18°C or lower temperatures in the deep freeze).
CDivided the food into portions according to your family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.
CPack the food in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be stored 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, odour, oils and acids.
Foods to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent them from getting thawed partially.
CFrozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.

6 Maintenance and cleaning
Service life of the product extends and frequently faced problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.
BWARNING: Unplug the product before cleaning it.
•Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.
•Never use any sharp and abrasive tools, soap, household cleaners, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
•Dissolve one teaspoon of carbonate in half litre of water. Soak a cloth with the solution and wrung it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the refrigerator with this cloth and the dry thoroughly.
•Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.
•If you will not use the refrigerator for a long period of time, unplug it, remove all food inside, clean it and leave the door ajar.
•Check regularly that the door gaskets are clean.
If not, clean them.
•To remove door and body shelves, remove all of its contents.
Remove the door shelves by pulling them up. After cleaning, slide them from top to bottom to install.
6.1 Avoiding bad odours
Materials that may cause odour are not used in the production of our refrigerators. However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of the refrigerator as required can bring forth the problem of odour. Pay attention to following to avoid this problem:
•Keeping the refrigerator clean is important.
Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odour. Therefore, clean the refrigerator with carbonate dissolved in water every 15 days. Never use detergents or soap.
•Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odours.
•Never keep the food that have expired best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.
CTea is one of the best deodorants. Open hydroxyl (OH) ends of Catechin substance molecules in the tea hold the volatile organics that create the odour, and thus remove unpleasant odours. Put the pulp of the tea you prepared into your refrigerator in an uncovered container and keep it there for maximum 12 hours. If you leave it in the refrigerator for more than 12 hours, it may become the source of the odour
as it will collect the microorganisms that cause the odour.
6.2 Protecting the plastic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.
