5 Preparation

⚠️ Read the “Safety Instructions” section first!

- For a freestanding appliance; this refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.

- Your refrigerator should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heater and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens and should not be located under direct sunlight.

- The ambient temperature of the room where you install your refrigerator should at least be +5°C. Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions is not recommended with regard to its efficiency.

- Please make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.

- If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.

- When you operate your refrigerator for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours.

- 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 1 minute after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.

- Due to temperature change as a result of opening / closing the product door during operation, condensation on the door/body shelves and the glass containers is normal.

- Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate into your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food. Functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display and so on will operate according to the needs to consume minimum energy under these circumstances.

- In case of multiple options are present glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the backwall are not blocked, preferably air outlets are remaining below the glass shelf. This combination may help improving air distribution and energy efficiency.

Operating the product

6.5. Freezing fresh food

• 8 hours before freezing the fresh food activate the Quick Freeze function.
• To preserve food quality, the food items placed in the freezer compartment must be frozen as quickly as possible, use the rapid freezing for this.
• Freezing the food items when fresh will extend the storage time in the freezer compartment.
• Make sure the food items are packed before putting in the freezer. Use freezer holders, tinfoil and damp-proof paper, plastic bag or similar packaging materials instead of traditional packaging paper.
• Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal tightly.

Ice in the freezing compartment thaws automatically.

• Mark each food pack by writing the date on the package before freezing. This will allow you to determine the freshness of each pack every time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier food items in the front to ensure they are used first.
• Frozen food items must be used immediately after defrosting and should not be frozen again.
• Do not free large quantities of food at once.

6.6. Recommendations for storing frozen foods

The compartment must be set to at least -18° C.

1. Place the food items in the freezer as quickly as possible to avoid defrosting.
2. Before freezing, check the "Expiry Date" on the package to make sure it is not expired.
3. Make sure the food's packaging is not damaged.

Freezer Compartment Temperature Setting	Cooler Compartment Temperature Setting	Details
-18°C	4°C	This is the default, recommended setting.
-20°C,-22°C or -24°C	4°C These settings are recommended for ambient temperatures exceeding 30°C.
Quick Freeze	4°C	Use when you want to freeze your food in a short time. When the process ends, the product will regain its position.
-18°C or colder	4°C Use these settings if you believe the cooler compartment is not cold enough due to ambient temperature or frequently opening the door.

Operating the product

6.7. Deep freezer details

As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4,5 kg of food items at -18°C or lower temperatures in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume.

Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below a temperature of -18°C. You can keep the foods fresh for months (in a deep freezer at or below temperatures of -18°C).

The food items to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting.

Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer.

Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and similar food items should not be frozen. In case this food rots, only nutritional values and eating qualities will be negatively affected. A rotting threatening human health is not in question.

6.8. Placing the food

Freezer compartment shelves	Various frozen goods including meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables etc.
Cooler compartment shelves	Food items inside pots, capped plate and capped cases, eggs (in capped case)
Cooler compartment door shelves	Small and packed food or beverages
Vegetable bin	Fruits and vegetables
Fresh food compartment	Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products to be consumed in short notice)
