Consists of 3 main protection systems. Hygiene+: The photocatalyst filter in

the air channel of refrigerator helps to clean the air inside. Also this filter reduces bad smell.

Silver+: Inner surface of the refrigerator and the crispers are both have anti-bacterial property with silver ingredient. So bacteria can not reproduce on these surfaces. Thus the unpleasant smell will not be produced by the bacteria on the surfaces.

Ion+: Ionizer, that is in the air channel of refrigerator, ionize the air. With the help of this system airborne bacteria and the bad smell originated from these bacteria will be reduced.

Icematic and ice storage container

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.

Ice storage container

Ice storage container is only intended for accumulating the ice cubes. Do not put water in it. Otherwise, it will break.

Zero temperature compartment

This compartment has been designed to store frozen food which would be thawed slowly (meat, fish, chicken... etc.) as required or food wouldn’t be frozen and after a short time would be consumed in a better and healthier condition. Don’t put dairy products or similar foods won’t be frozen as required into this

compartment which is the coldest place of the refrigerating 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.
