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.
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
odour are removed.
Fresh Freeze Compartment
This compartment freezes your food
quickly and preserves their tastes and
nutritional values.
Crisper humidity control
sliders
Crisper of your refrigerator is

You can adjust the humidity control
sliders to a suitable position according
to the humidity and cooling condition
of your food in the crisper.

Recommendations for
preservation of frozen food
• Prepacked commercially frozen
food should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer's
instructions for a ( 4 star) frozen
food storage compartment.
• To ensure that the high quality

manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained, the following should be
remembered:
1.Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2.Ensure that contents are labelled
and dated.
3.Do not exceed "Use By", "Best
Before" dates on the packaging.
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.
