Crisper

Crisper of your refrigerator is designed specially to keep your vegetables freshly without loosing their humidity. For this purpose, cool air circulation occurs around the crisper in general.

Remove the door shelves that align

with the crisper before removing the crispers. You can remove the crispers as illustrated in the figure.

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 closed.

4- It must not be opened manually. It moves under the guidance of the plastic part on the body while the door is closed.

Blue light

Foodstuff stored in the crispers that are enlightened with a blue light continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus, preserve their freshness and increase their vitamin content.

Telescopic Drawer

Pay attention not to squeeze any parts of your body such as hands, feet and etc. between the movable parts while the drawer is in use in order to avoid any injury.

You can remove the partition in the drawer as illustrated when you want to clean it.

You can remove the drawers only for cleaning. It is not possible to group the drawers in their places after loading them with food when they are removed.

6 Maintenance and cleaning

A Never use gasoline, benzene or

similar substances for cleaning purposes.
