Refrigerator/User Manual

Operating the product

5.2 Dual cooling system

Your refrigerator is equipped with three separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment, frozen food compartment and multi zone compartment. Thus, air and odour in the fresh food compartment and frozen food compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher then other refrigerators. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

5.3 Freezing fresh food

• Wrap the food or place them in a covered

container before putting them in the refrigerator.

• Hot food and beverages must cool down

to the room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.

• The food that you want to freeze must be

fresh and in good quality.

• Divided the food into portions according

to your family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.

• Pack the food in an airtight manner to

prevent them from drying even if they are going to be stored for a short time.

• 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. Moreover, they must be well closed and they must be made from easy-to-use materials that are suitable for deep-freezers.

• Frozen food must be used immediately

after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.

• 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.

• Placing warm food into the freezer

compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.

5.6 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 food at 32°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).

meal based consumption needs. Pack the food in an airtight manner to

prevent them from drying even if they are going to be stored for a short time.

Materials to be used for packaging the foodstuff must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odour, oils and acids. Foods to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent them from getting thawed partially.

Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should

6.1 Avoiding bad odours

Materials that may cause odour are not used in the production of our refrigerators. However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of the refrigerator as required can bring forth the problem of odour. Pay attention to following to avoid this problem:

• Keeping the refrigerator clean is important.

Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause

odour. Therefore, clean the refrigerator with carbonate dissolved in water every

15 days. Never use detergents or soap.

• Keep the food in closed containers.

Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odours.

• Never keep the food that have expired

best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.

6.2 Protecting the plastic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.
