Deep-freeze information
Food must be frozen as rapidly as
possible when they are put 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.
19
EN
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!
• 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.
A
Frozen food must be used immediately
after they are thawed and they should
never be re-frozen.

Blue light
(in some models)
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.
Egg tray
You can install the egg holder to the
desired door or body shelf.
Never store the egg holder in the freezer
compartment
Sliding Body Shelves
Sliding body shelves can be pulled
by slightly lifting up from the front and
moved back and forth. They come to a
stop point when pulled towards front to
allow you reach the foods placed at the
back of the shelf; when it is pulled after
slightly lifted upwards at the second stop
point, the body shelf will be released.
The shelf should be hold tightly from the
bottom as well in order to prevent it from
tipping over. The body shelf is placed on
the rails at the sides of the refrigerator
body by bringing it to one lower or one
upper level.
The body shelf should be pushed
backwards to seat it completely.

Crisper of your refrigerator is designed
specially to keep your vegetables freshly
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.
