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.

16 EN

Multi-Hygiene

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 smells.

Silver+: Inner surfaces of the refrigerator and crispers both have anti-bacterial properties because of 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, ionizers the air. With the help of this system airborne bacteria and bad smells originated from these

bacteria will be reduced.

Zero temperature compartment

This compartment has been designed to store frozen food which would be thawed slowly (meat, fish, chicken,etc.) as required.Zero temperature compartment is the coldest place

of your refrigerator in which dairy products (cheese, butter), meat, fish or chicken may be kept at ideal storage conditions.Vegetables and/ or fruits must not be placed in this compartment.

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.
