Compartment for keeping
perishable food (low
temperature /-20C - +30C).

This compartment was designed to
store frozen food, which can be
defrosted slowly (meat, fish,
chicken,etc) as needed. Low
temperature compartment is the
coldest place in refrigerator where
dairy products (cheese,butter), meat
fish or chicken can be kept in ideal
conditions storage.
Vegetables and/or fruits should not be
placed in this compartment.

Freezing fresh food

 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.

 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.

 Do not allow the food to touch the

temperature sensor in fresh food
compartment. To allow the fresh food
compartment keep its ideal storage
temperature, sensor must not be
hindered by food.

 Do not place hot foods in the

Deep-freeze information

Food must be frozen as rapidly as

possible when they are put in the
freezer 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 preserve 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!

 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, dour, 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. Thawed out food must
be consumed and must not be frozen
again.

6. Maintenance and cleaning

Never 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.

Protection of plastic
surfaces

Do 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.

Never use gasoline, benzene or

similar substances for cleaning
purposes.

We recommend that you unplug

the ppliance before cleaning.

Never use any sharp abrasive

instrument, soap, household
cleaner, detergent and wax polish
for cleaning.

Use lukewarm water to clean the

cabinet of your refrigerator and
wipe it dry.

Use 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.

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
