You can increase the inner volume of your refrigerator by removing any of the chiller compartments. To do this, pull the compartment towards yourself; the compartment will lean against the stopper and stop. This compartment will be released when you lift it about 1 cm and pull it towards yourself.

Movable Middle Section

The 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 press 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- The movable middle section is closed when the left door of the fridge compartment is closed. 4- It must not be opened manually. It moves under the guidance of the plastic part on the body while the door is closed.

Multi Zone Storage Compartment

The Multi Zone Storage Compartment of your refrigerator may be used in any desired mode by adjusting it to fridge (2/4/6/8 °C) or freezer (-18/-20/-22/-24) temperatures. You can keep the compartment at the desired temperature with the Multi Zone Storage Compartment Temperature Setting Button. The temperature of the Multi Zone Storage Compartment may be set to 0 and 10 degrees in addition to the fridge compartment temperatures, and to -6 degrees in addition to the freezer compartment temperatures. 0 degrees is used to store deli products longer, and -6 degrees is used to keep

the meats up to 2 weeks in an easily cuttable condition.

The feature of switching to a Fridge or Freezer compartment is provided by a cooling element located in the closed section (Compressor Compartment) behind the refrigerator. During operation of this element, sounds similar to the sound of seconds heard from an analog clock may be heard. This is normal and is not a fault cause.

Door Open Alarm:

When the door of the fridge compartment remains open for 1 minute, an audible Door Open Alarm will be activated and heard. Just press any button on the indicator or close the open door to silence the alarm.

Dual cooling system:

Your refrigerator 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 refrigerators. Odours in the compartments do not get mixed. Also, additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.
