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. Your product will return to its previous mode when the process is over.
-18°C or colder	2°C	Use these settings if you think that your fridge compartment is not cold enough because of the hot ambient conditions or frequent opening and closing of the door.

5.4 Recommendations for preserving the frozen food

Compartment shall be set to -18^ at least.

1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase without allowing the to thaw.
2. Check whether the "Use By" and "Best Before" dates on the packaging are expired or not before freezing it.
3. Ensure that the package of the food is not damaged.

5.5 Deep-freeze information

According to IEC 62552 standards, the product shall freeze at least 4.5kg of food at 25^ ambient temperature to -18^ or lower within 24 hours for every 100-litres of freezer volume.

It is possible to preserve the food for a long time only at -18^ or lower temperatures.

You can keep the freshness of food for many months (at -18°C or lower temperatures in the deep freeze).

Foods to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent them from getting thawed partially. Boil the vegetables and drain their water in order to store vegetables for a longer time as frozen. After draining their water, put them in air-proof packages and place them inside the freezer. Food such as bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes are not suitable for freezing. When these foods are frozen, only their nutritional value and taste shall be affected negatively. They shall not be spoiled so that they would create a risk for human health.

5.6 Placing the food

Freezer compartment shelves	Various frozen food such as meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables and etc.
Refrigerator compartment shelves	Food in pans, covered plates and closed containers, eggs (in closed container)
Door shelves of fridge compartment	Small and packaged food or beverage
Crisper	Vegetables and fruits
Fresh zone compartment	Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products that shall be consumed in a short time)

5.7 Door open warning

(This feature is optional)

An audio warning signal will be given when the door of your product is left open for 1 minute. This warning will be muted when the door is closed or any of the display buttons (if any) are pressed.

5.8 Chiller compartment

Chiller compartments allow you to prepare the food for freezing. You can also use these compartments to store your food at a temperature a few degrees below the fridge compartment.

You can increase the inner volume of your refrigerator by removing any of the chiller compartments:

1. Pull the compartment towards yourself until it stops.
2. Lift the compartment about 1 cm up and pull towards yourself to remove it from its seating.

5.9 Crisper

Crisper of the refrigerator is designed specially to keep the vegetables fresh without loosing their humidity. For this purpose, cool air circulation is intensified around the crisper in general. Remove the door shelves that stand against the crisper before removing the crisper.

5.10 Humidity-controlled crisper

(FreShelf)

(This feature is optional)

Humidity rates of fruits and vegetables are kept under control thanks to the humidity-controlled crisper and thus the food is ensured to stay fresh for a longer period. We recommend that you place leafy vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and vegetables sensitive to humidity loss as horizontally as possible when putting them in the crisper; not in a horizontal position on their roots.

While the vegetables are being replaced, their specific weights should be taken into consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables must be placed at the bottom of the crisper and light and soft vegetables must be on the upper part.

Never leave the vegetables in their plastic bags in the crisper. If they are left in their plastic bags, this will cause them to rot in a little while. If you not prefer the vegetable to get in contact with other vegetables for hygienic reasons, use perforated paper or a similar material instead of plastic bags.

Do not place pears, apricots, peaches etc., especially those fruits that generate large amounts of ethylene, in the same crisper with other fruits and vegetables. The ethylene gas emitted by these fruits cause other fruits to ripen sooner and to rot in a shorter span of time.

5.11 Egg tray

You can install the egg holder to the desired door or body shelf. Never keep the egg holder in the freezer compartment.

5.12 Movable Middle Section

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 opened.
4-It must not be opened manually. It moves under the guidance of the plastic part on the body while the door is closed.

5.13 Cool Control Storage Compartment

The Cool Control 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 Cool Control Storage Compartment's Temperature Setting Button. The temperature of the Cool Control 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 sliceable 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 analogue clock may be heard. This is normal and is not fault cause.

5.14 Blue light/ Vitamin Care Technology

*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 C content longer.

For VitaminCare+,

Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the VitaminCare+ technology preserve their vitamin A and C content for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle.

With this technology, you can keep your fruits & vegetables tasty & healthy longer which helps you to minimize food waste at home.

If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the VitaminCare+ technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue, green or red light to illuminate the crisp 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.

5.15 Odour filter

Odour filter in the air duct of the fridge compartment prevents build-up of unpleasant odours in the refrigerator.

5.16 Wine cellar compartment

(This feature is optional)

1 – Fill your cellar compartment

Wine cellar was built to contain up to 28 front bottles + 3 bottles accessible using a telescopic rack. These maximum quantities declared are given for information purpose only and correspond to tests carried out with a "Bordelaise 75cl" standard bottle.

2-Suggested optimum service temperatures

Our advice: If you mix different types of wines, choose a 12^ Celsius setting just like in a real cellar. For white wines, which are to be served between 6 and 10^ , think of putting your bottles in the refrigerator 1/2 hour before serving, the refrigerator will be able to maintain the bottles at the preferred temperature. As regards red wines, they will heat up slowly at room temperature when serving.

	White	wines Red wines
75 % full bottle	3 to 5 days	4 to 7 days
50 % full bottle	2 to 3 days	3 to 5 days
Less than 50 %	1 day	2 days

5.17 Use of internal water dispenser and water dispenser at the door

(in some models)

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser paddle (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

Water dispenser at the door (in some models)

5.18 Dispensing Water

Hold a container under the dispenser spout while pressing the dispenser pad.

pa. Release the dispenser pad to stop dispensing. for the first few 1s of water taken from the dispenser to be warm.

If the water dispenser is not used for a long period of time, dispose of first few glasses of water to obtain fresh water.

During initial use, you will have to wait approximately 24 hours for the water to cool down.

Take out the glass a little while after you pull the trigger.

Built-in water dispenser (in some models)

5.19 For using water dispenser

Before using your fridge first time and after replacing your water filter, water dispenser may drip drops of water. To prevent water dripping or leaking from dispenser, please bleed the air from the system by dispensing 7 - 0 gallons (about . liter) of water through the water dispenser before the first use and every time after you change the water filter. This will remove any air trapped in the system and stop the water dispenser from leaking. Checking coupler position and the straightness of water line at the back of the unit will be required if there's an obstruction in water flow.

If your water dispenser is leaking just a few drops of water after you have dispensed some water, this is normal.

5.20 Icemic

(in some models)

To get ice from the icematic, fill the water tank in the fridge compartment with water up to the maximum level. Ice cubes in the ice drawer may stick to each other and become a bulk due to hot and humid air in approximately 15 days. This is normal. If you cannot break the bulk apart, you can empty the ice container and make ice again.

It is recommended to change the water in the water tank if it remains in the water tank for more then r-yr weeks.

Strange noises you hear from the refrigerator at 120-minute intervals are the sounds of icemaking and pouring. This is normal.

If you do not want to make ice, press the Ice off icon to stop the icematic to save energy and prolong the service life of your refrigerator.

It is normal that a few drops of water drop from the dispenser after you have taken water.

5.21 Icematic and ice storage container (in some models)

Using the Icemicatic

Fill the Icematic with water and place it into its seat. Your ice will be ready approximately in two hours. Do not remove the Icematic from its seating to take ice.

Turn the knobs on the ice reservoirs clockwise by 90 degrees.

Ice cubes in the reservoirs will fall down into the ice storage container below.

You may take out the ice storage container and serve the ice cubes. If you wish, you may keep the ice cubes in the ice storage container.

Ice storage container

Ice storage container is only intended for accumulating the ice cubes. Do not put water in it. Otherwise, it will break.
