2. Check whether the “Use By”

and “Best Before” dates on the packaging are expired or not before freezing it.

3. Ensure that the package of the

food is not damaged.

5.5 Deep-freeze information

According to IEC 62552 standards, the product shall freeze at least

4.5 kg of food at 25°C ambient

temperature to -18°C or lower within 24 hours for every 100-litres 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). Foods to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent them from getting thawed partially. Boil the vegetables and drain their water in order to store vegetables for a longer time as frozen. After draining their water, put them in air-proof packages and place them inside the freezer. Food such as bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes are not suitable for freezing. When these foods are frozen, only their nutritional value and taste shall be affected negatively. They shall not be spoiled so that they would create a risk for human health.

5.6 Placing the food

5.7 Door open warning

Freezer compartment shelves

Refrigerator compartment shelves

Door shelves of fridge compartment

Crisper

Fresh zone compartment

Various frozen food such as meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables and etc.

Food in pans, covered plates and closed containers, eggs (in closed container)

Small and packaged food or beverage

Vegetables and fruits

Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products that shall be consumed in a short time)

(This feature is optional)

An audio warning signal will be given when the door of your product is left open for 1 minute. This warning will be muted when the door is closed or any of the display buttons (if any) are pressed.

5.8 Chiller compartment

Chiller compartments allow you to prepare the food for freezing. You can also use these compartments to store your 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:

1. Pull the compartment towards yourself

until it stops.

2. Lift the compartment about 1 cm up and

pull towards yourself to remove it from its seating.

5.9 Crisper

Crisper of the refrigerator is designed specially to keep the vegetables fresh without loosing their humidity. For this purpose, cool air circulation is intensified around the crisper in general. Remove the door shelves that stand against the crisper before removing the crisper.

5.10 Humidity-controlled crisper

(FreSHelf)

(This feature is optional)

Humidity rates of fruits and vegetables are kept under control thanks to the humidity-controlled crisper and thus the food is ensured to stay fresh for a longer period.

We recommend that you place leafy vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and vegetables sensitive to humidity loss as horizontally as possible when putting them in the crisper; not in a horizontal position on their roots.

While the vegetables are being replaced, their specific weights should be taken into consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables must be placed at the bottom of the crisper and light and soft vegetables must be on the upper part.

Never leave the vegetables in their plastic bags in the crisper. If they are left in their plastic bags, this will cause them to rot in a little while. If you not prefer the vegetable to get in contact with other vegetables for hygienic reasons, use perforated paper or a similar material instead of plastic bags.

Do not place pears, apricots, peaches etc., especially those fruits that generate large amounts of ethylene, in the same crisper with other fruits and vegetables. The ethylene gas emitted by these fruits cause other fruits to ripen sooner and to rot in a shorter span of time.

5.11 Egg tray

You can install the egg holder to the desired door or body shelf. Never keep the egg holder in the freezer compartment.

5.12 Movable Middle Section

Movable middle section is intended to prevent the cold air inside your refrigerator from escaping outside.

1- Sealing is provided when the gaskets on the door presses on the surface of the movable middle section while the fridge compartment doors are closed.

2- Another reason that your refrigerator is equipped with a movable middle section is that it increases the net volume of the fridge compartment. Standard middle sections occupy some non-usable volume in the refrigerator.

3-Movable middle section is closed when the left door of the fridge compartment is opened.

4-It must not be opened manually. It moves under the guidance of the plastic part on the body while the door is closed.
