• The door should not be opened frequently.
• It must be operated empty without any food in it.
• Do not unplug your refrigerator. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the “Recommended solutions for the problems” section.

• Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.

• The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy consumption and for better storage conditions.

• Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of the appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.
• In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 5 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.

Changing the door opening direction

Door opening direction of your refrigerator can be changed according to the place you are using it. If this is necessary, please call your nearest Authorized Service.

Moisture controlled vegetable bin

optional\*

With moisture control feature, moisture rates of vegetables and fruits are kept under control and ensures a longer freshness period for .foods

It is recommended to store leafed vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and similar vegetables prone to moisture loss not on their roots but in horizontal position into the .vegetable bin as much as possible When placing the vegetables, place heavy and hard vegetables at the bottom and light and soft ones on the top, taking into account the specific .weights of vegetables

Do not leave vegetables in the vegetable bin in plastic bags. Leaving them in plastic bags causes vegetables to rot in a short time. In situations where contact with other vegetables is not preferred, use packaging materials such as paper that has a .certain porosity in terms of hygiene Do not put fruits that have a high ethylene gas production such as pear, apricot, peach and particularly apple in the same vegetable bin with other vegetables and fruits. The ethylene gas coming out of these fruits might cause other vegetables and fruits to mature faster and rot in a shorter .period of time

Blue light/HarvestFresh

*May not be available in all models

For the blue light,

Fruits and vegetables 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 vitamin content.

ForHarvestFresh,

Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the HarvestFresh technology preserve their vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle.

If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the HarvestFresh technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue-green or red light to illuminate the crisper for your convenience. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle.

Dual cooling system:

Your cooler/freezer 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 cooler/freezers. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

Freezing fresh food

• Wrap or cover the food before placing them in.
• Hot food must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the cooler/freezer.
• 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.

- 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. If the fridge has a quick freeze function, activate the quick freeze function when you want to freeze the food.

2. 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.

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

4. Make sure raw foods are not in contact with cooked foods in the fridge.

Recommendations for preservation of frozen food

• Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions in a frozen food storage compartment.

• To ensure that the high quality supplied by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, following points should be noted:

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

• Ensure that contents of the package are labeled and dated.

• Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.
