Blue light
Food stored in the crispers that are illuminated 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.
Egg tray
You can install the egg holder to the desired door or body shelf.
Never store the egg holder in the
freezer compartment .
Fresh Freeze Compartment
This compartment freezes your food quickly and preserves their tastes and nutritional values.
Crisper humidity control sliders
The crisper of your refrigerator has been designed to help keep vegetables fresh without loosing their humidity. Cold air circulates around the crisper and the amount of cold air passing through the crisper is controlled by the sliders on the front side of the crisper cover.
You can adjust the humidity control sliders to a suitable position according to the humidity and cooling condition of the food in the crisper.
If you want your food in the crisper to cool more, open the holes of the humidity control sliders and if you want them to cool less and keep their humidity for a longer time, close the holes.
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. Odour's in the compartments do not get mixed. Additional power saving is also achieved since the defrosting is performed individually.

Deep-freeze information
Food must be frozen as rapidly as
possible when placed in a freezer to maintain its quality.
It is possible to keep food for a long time
period only at temperatures of -18 degrees C or lower.
The quality of food in a freezer can be
maintained for many months at temperatures of -18 degrees C or lower.
Pre-packed 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 achieved by
the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:
Put packages in the freezer as quickly as
possible after purchase. Ensure that contents are labelled and dated. Do not exceed “Use By” or “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 “Temperature rise time” as indicated on the refrigerator specifications table, 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 being cooked.
Wrap all food before storage. Seal all
foods, or place in airtight containers to prevent dehydration.
Eliminate all the air pockets from
packages and keep air out by firm sealing.
When packaging in sheet material such as
aluminium foil, parcel tightly and press out all air pockets. All folds should be sealed with deep-freeze sealing tape.
Unwrapped food containing acids or salt
may permanently stain the cabinet interior.
When loading bulk into the freezer, load
one quarter at a time and allow to freeze before loading the next quarter.
Divide food into reasonable portions
according to your requirements.
Allow hot food to cool before putting it into
the freezer. Freeze cooked food in small quantities. This ensures rapid freezing and maintains the quality of the food.
Food that has defrosted must be
consumed within 24 hours. Only cooked food can be refrozen. Do not re-freeze food that has defrosted.
Do not exceed the expiry date shown on
food packs.
Do not take out frozen food with wet
hands. Your hands could stick to the frozen food.
Always use appropriate packaging
material to avoid odour penetration or degradation of the food.
Transport pre-frozen food from the
supermarket in foil lined cooler bags and transfer to the home freezer as soon as possible.
Place fresh food to be frozen near the side
walls of the freezer to ensure fast freezing.
Never exceed the maximum freezing
capacity of the freezer. If you are going to freeze fresh food in excess of 2 kg. turn the Fresh Freeze function on and wait for at least three hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer. Do not freeze too large a quantity of food at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the centre as quickly as possible. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
Defrosting
The fridge and freezer compartments defrost automatically.
Page 24
Note If you find that the door of the freezer is difficult to open just after you have closed it, this is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow for the door to be opened normally after a few minutes.
Deep Freeze packaging information
Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odour,
oils and acids and they must also be airtight. They must be made from materials that are suitable for deep freeze usage.
Materials necessary for packaging
Cold resistant adhesive tape, Self adhesive labels, Rubber rings and a Pen.

Quick Cool
You can use it when your fridge compartment is overloaded or if you wish to cool down your food rapidly. It is recommended that you activate quick fridge function 4-8 hours before placing the food.
Page 25
Chiller compartments
7
If you wish to use the storage container under the shelf as the Chiller compartment, the storage container under the shelf should be placed as shown in the picture.
Chiller compartments help prepare foods, that you intend to freeze, to be ready for freezing. You can also use these compartments to store food at a temperature a few degrees below the fridge compartment.
You can increase the inner volume of your refrigerator by removing any of the chiller compartments.
To do this, simply pull the compartment towards yourself; the compartment will stop when it reaches the stopper.
The compartment will be released when you lift it about 1 cm and pull it towards yourself.
Icebox and Water Reservoir
Follow the procedure and warnings below when cleaning of the icebox:
Remove the Icebox by lifting it first and then pulling it towards yourself as shown in the diagram below.
Empty the ice in the Icebox, if any. Do not use sharp objects to remove stuck ice as this may result in personal injury or may damage the Icebox.
Pay attention that the inside of the Icebox is not wet/damp before placing it back into its housing.
To get ice from the ice dispenser after placing the Icebox back into its housing and closing the freezer door, exit from Ice Off mode by pressing the Ice Off key again.
Do not touch the moving parts in the Icebox, as there are sharp blades
inside.
Leave the Water Reservoir empty when it is not going to be used for an extended period of time .

Maintenance and Cleaning
8
Always disconnect the plug from the
mains socket before cleaning.
Note that turning the thermostat to ‘0’
does not switch the power off to the refrigerator.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator when
necessary by using a solution of one table spoon of Bicarbonate of Soda to two litres of warm water.
Dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use pot scorers or abrasive
powders to clean the refrigerator.
Spillages, especially citric and acidic
juices, must be wiped up immediately as they could stain the interior of the refrigerator.
Shelves and freezer baskets, where fitted,
may be removed for cleaning purposes.
The back of the refrigerator may be
vacuumed or dusted using a soft bristle brush.
A mild furniture polish may be used on the
exterior cabinet to add lustre and protect against finger marks.
Make sure that no water enters the lamp
housing and other electrical items.
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.
Check door seals regularly to ensure they
are clean and free from food particles.
To remove door racks, remove all the
contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.
Owner’s responsibility
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the
food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they have been recommended by the manufacturer.
Since the following are not factory faults they are the owners responsibility:
Damage to the exterior finish.
Breakage of glass and other components.
Replacement of light bulbs.
Damage caused through improper use of
the appliance.
Damage caused by moving the appliance.
Protection of plastic surfaces
Do not place liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they may 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.
Replacing the Interior Light Bulb
(See diagrams on following page)
Should the light fail to work, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
Remove all shelves and drawers for easy
access.
2. Illumination covers in freezer and fridge sections are opened by pressing by hand; first release one side and then the other by pressing on the sides as shown in the figures on the following page.
3. First check that the bulb has not worked loose by ensuring that it is screwed securely into the holder. Reinsert the plug and switch on. If the bulb works, reinstall the light cover by inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate the front two lugs.
4. If the light still fails to work, switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Replace the bulb with a new 15 watt (max) screw cap E14 (SES) bulb.
5. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately.
Replacement light bulbs can easily be obtained from a good local electrical or DIY store.
