EN

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 than other refrigerators. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

Freezing fresh food

•Wrap or cover the food before placing them in .

•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.

•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 packagings must be resistant to cold and humidity and they must be airtight. The packaging material of the food must be at a sufficient thickness and durability. Otherwise the food hardened due to freezing may puncture the packaging. It is important for the packaging to be closed securely for safe storage of the food.

•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. If the fridge has a quick freeze function, activate the quick freeze function when you want to freeze the food.

2. 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.

3. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food. 4. Make sure raw foods are not in contact with cooked foods in the fridge.

Recommendations for preservation of frozen food

•Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions in a frozen 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 packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2.Ensure that contents of the package are labeled and dated.

3. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

Defrosting

6 Maintenance and cleaning

A Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.

B We recommend that you unplug the appliance before cleaning.

B Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.

CUse lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.

CUse a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of

bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

B Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.

B If your refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

CCheck door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.

A To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.

ANever use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the outer surfaces and chromium coated parts of the product. Chlorine causes corrosion on such metal surfaces.

A Do not use sharp, abrasive tools, soap, household cleaning agents, detergents, kerosene, fuel oil, varnish etc. to prevent removal and deformation of the prints on the plastic part. Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth for cleaning and then

wipe it dry.

Protection of plastic surfaces

CDo not put the liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. In case of spilling or smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.

23 EN

Door Glasses

CRemove the protective foil on the glasses.

CThere is a coating on the surface of the glasses. This coating minimizes the stain build-up and helps to remove the possible stains and dirt easily. Glasses

that are not protected with such a coating may be subject to persistent binding of air or water based organic or inorganic dirt such as limescale, mineral salts, unburned hydrocarbons, metal oxides and sliciones that can easily and quickly cause stains or material damage. Keeping the glass clean becomes too difficult despite the regular cleaning. Consequently, the appearance and the transparency of the glass deteriorates. Harsh and corrosive cleaning methods and compounds will intensify these defects and speed up the deterioration process.

CWater-based cleaning products that are not alkaline and corrosive must be used for regular cleaning purposes. CNon-alkaline and non-corrosive materials must be used for cleaning so that the service life of this coating lasts for a long time.

CThese glasses are tempered to increase their durability against impacts and breaking.

CA safety film is also applied to their rear surfaces as an extra safety measure in order to prevent them from causing damage to their surrounding in case of a breakage.

*Alkali is a base that forms hydroxide ions (OH¯) when it is dissolved in water.

Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (Potassium) Rb (Rubidium), Cs (Cesium) and artificial and radioactive Fr (Fan-sium) metals are called ALKALI METALS.
