separate cooling systems, cooling speed
is much higher then other refrigerators.
Odors in the compartments do not get
mixed. Also additional power saving
is provided since the defrosting is
performed individually.

• 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.

• The 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 packaging

must be tear-proof and resistant to
cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids
and they must also be airtight.
Moreover, they must be well closed
and they must be made from easy­to-use materials that are suitable for

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.

Freezing fresh food

• It must be preferred to wrap or cover

the food before placing them in the
refrigerator.

EN

14

• Food to be frozen must be put in the

freezer compartment. (They should not
be allowed to come in contact with
the previously frozen items to prevent
their partial thawing. Freezing capacity
of our product is given in the technical
specifications of your refrigerator.)

• Periods given in the information about

deep freeze must be obeyed for storage
times.

• 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. 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.

2. Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the cooling system
to operate continuously until the food is
frozen solid.

3. Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.

Recommendations for
preservation of frozen food

• Prepacked 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:

1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly as
possible after purchase.

2. Ensure that contents are labeled and
dated.

3. Do not exceed “Use By”, “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
Increasing Time” indicated in the
“Technical specifications of your
refrigerator” section, 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 cooked.

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, odor, 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.

You can check the freezing capacity

Multi-Hygiene

Consists of 3 main protection systems.
Hygiene+: The photocatalyst filter in

the air channel of refrigerator helps
to clean the air inside. Also this filter
reduces bad smells.

Silver+: Inner surfaces of the
refrigerator and crispers both have
anti-bacterial properties because of
silver ingredient. So bacteria can not
reproduce on these surfaces. Thus the
unpleasant smell will not be produced
by the bacteria on the surfaces.

Ion+: Ionizer, that is in the air channel
of refrigerator, ionizers the air. With the
help of this system airborne bacteria
and bad smells originated from these
bacteria will be reduced.

Icematic and ice storage
