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.

Page 23

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.

Page 24

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.

Dual cooling system:

Your refrigerator is equipped with

two separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher then other refrigerators. Odours in the

compartments do not get mixed. Also

additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

Page 25

Freezing fresh food

• It must be preferred to wrap or cover

the food before placing them in the refrigerator.

• Hot food must cool down to the

room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.

• The foodstuff that you want to freeze

must be fresh and in good quality.

• Foodstuff must be divided into

portions according to the family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.

• The 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 to be used for packaging

must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids and they must also be airtight.

Moreover, they must be well closed

and they must be made from easyto-use materials that are suitable for deep freeze usage.

• Frozen food must be used

immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.

• Please observe the following

instructions to obtain the best results.

1. 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.

2. Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.

3. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

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.

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.

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! A

• 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.

Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.
