The body shelf should be pushed backwards to seat it completely.

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.

Multi-purpose Shelf, Canned Drink and Shelter

(May not be available in some models.)

• You may use your multi-purpose

shelf for foods in appropriate dimensions as seen in the figure.

Crisper humidity control sliders

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.

• You may use this compartment to

preserve foods and drinks that can fit

into the shelter. (Ketchup, mayonnaise,

etc.)

• You may use the canned drink shelf

by laying your beverages horizontally.

Ion:

Air is ionized by means of the ionizer system in the fridge compartment air duct. Thanks to this system, air-borne bacteria and particles that cause odor are removed.

Recommendations for preservation of frozen food

Replacing the Interior Light Bulb

• Prepacked commercially frozen

food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a food storage compartment.

• To ensure that the high quality

supplied by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, following points should be noted:

1.Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2.Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.

3. Make sure that the "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging are

not expired. If there is a power failure do not

open the freezer door. Even if the power failure lasts up to the time

specified on Type Label (inside left of

the refrigerator), frozen food will not be affected. In case the failure lasts longer, the food must be checked and when necessary, must be consumed immediately or must be frozen after cooked.

Icematic

* When the Icematic water supply reservoir (1) is removed from its place in order to fill it up, it must be replaced within two minutes after it is filled with water. The nozzle of the system will open and the Icematic cells will be filled with water automatically as soon as the cartridge is seated in its place. Your ice will be ready approximately in two 2 hours.

• Do not remove the Icematic (2) from its seating to take ice.

• Turn the knobs on it clockwise as

illustrated in the figure. Ice cubes in the cells will fall down in to

the ice bank (3) below.

• You may take out the ice bank and

serve the ice cubes.

• If you wish, you may keep the ice

cubes in the ice bank.

The ice bank is just for accumulating ice cubes. Do not put water in it. Otherwise, it will break.

About water supply reservoir

Remove the water supply reservoir and

fill it up with water. After filled up with water, the reservoir must be pushed forward into its seating until a “click” sound is heard. If there is any ice in the reservoir, wait until it melts. Water supply reservoir has a capacity of approximately 290 ml.

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.

• The ice storage container is just for

accumulating ice cubes. Do not freeze water in it. Otherwise, it may break.

(The illustrated figure is only an example and does not match exactly with your product.)

Chiller compartment

If you wish to use the storage container under the shelf as the Chiller compartment, the storage container under the shelf should be placed as shown in the picture.

Chiller compartments enable the foods to be frozen become ready for freezing. You can also use these compartments to store your food at a temperature a few degrees below the fridge compartment.

You can increase the inner volume of your refrigerator by removing any of the chiller compartments. To do this,

pull the compartment towards yourself;

the compartment will lean against the stopper and stop. This compartment will be released when you lift it about 1 cm and pull it towards yourself.

Water Dispenser

Water dispenser is a very useful feature based on reaching cold water 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 spring

Push the arm of the water dispenser with your glass. The dispenser will cease operating once you release the arm.

Filling the water dispenser water reservoir

Open the cover of the water reservoir 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.

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 drop; this is quite normal

and not a failure.

Warning!

• Do not fill the water reservoir 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 reservoir material.

• Use clean and pure drinking water only.

• Capacity of the water reservoir is 2.2

liters (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.

• Safety lock is intended to provide

ease of usage when filling the water reservoir and at the same time to prevent little children to tamper with the water dispenser.

Cleaning the water reservoir

Take out the water reservoir, release the latches on both sides and detach the upper cover mechanism from the water reservoir. After cleaning the water reservoir with warm clean water, replace the upper cover mechanism and lock the latches.

When mounting the water reservoir, make sure that the hooks behind it are securely attached to the hangers on the door. Make sure that the parts removed (if any) during cleaning are properly attached to their original places. Otherwise, water leakage may occur.

Important:

Components of the water reservoir and water dispenser should not be washed in dishwasher.

Water tray

Water that dripped while using the water dispenser accumulates in the spillage tray. Take out the spillage tray by pulling it towards yourself and empty it regularly.

Take out the plastic strainer by pressing it on sides as shown in the figure.

Take the water valve out of the water reservoir as shown in the figure. When replacing it, make sure that the O-ring seal is properly placed.
