2. Do not keep your refrigerator in ambient temperatures under 10^ C .

Floor balance adjustment

If your refrigerator is unbalanced;

1- Ventilation cover is removed by unscrewing its screws as illustrated in the figure before the procedure. You can balance your refrigerator by turning the front legs of it as illustrated in the figure. The corner where the leg exists is lowered when you turn in the direction of black arrow and raised when you turn in the opposite direction. Taking help from someone to slightly lift the refrigerator will facilitate this process.

1. After the balance issue is remedied, install back the ventilation cover and fasten the screws.
2. Remove the screws fastening the lower ventilation cover using a Philips screwdriver.

Adjusting the gap between the upper door

• You can adjust the gap between the fridge compartment doors as illustrated in the figures.

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 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.
• 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.

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

• 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.
• Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
• Make sure raw foods are not in contact with cooked foods in the fridge.

Freezer Compartment Setting	Fridge Compartment Setting	Remarks
-18°C	4°C	This is the normal recommended setting.
-20, -22 or -24°C	4°C	These settings are recommended when the ambient temperature exceeds 30°C.
Quick Freeze	4°C	Use when you wish to freeze your food in a short time. If is recommended to be used to maintain the quality of meat and fish products.
-18°C or colder	2°C	If you think that your fridge compartment is not cold enough because of the hot conditions or frequent opening and closing of the door.
-18°C or colder	Quick Fridge	You can use it when your fridge compartment is overloaded or if you wish to cool down your food rapidly. It is recommended that you activate the quick freeze function 4-8 hours before placing the food.

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:

1.Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2. Ensure that contents of the package are labeled and dated.
3. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.

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 presses 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- Movable middle section is closed when the left door of the fridge compartment 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 in 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 degree is used to store the 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 fault cause.
