EN Blue light Foodstuff stored in the crispers that are enlightened with a blue light continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus, preserve their freshness and increase their vitamin content.

Ion: Air is ionized by means of the ionizer system in the fridge compartment air duct. Thanks to this system, air-borne bacteria and particles that cause odor are removed.

Crisper humidity control sliders Using the crisper humidity control sliders Crisper of your refrigerator is designed specially to keep your vegetables fresh without loosing their humidity. Cold air circulates basically around the crisper and the amount of the cold air passing through the crisper is controlled by the sliders on the front side of the crisper cover. You can adjust the humidity control sliders to a suitable position according to the humidity and cooling condition of your food in the crisper. If you want your food in the crisper to cool more, open the holes of the humidity control sliders and if you want them to cool less and keep their humidity for a longer time, close the holes.

EN Recommendations for preservation of frozen food

Replacing the Interior Light Bulb

• Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a ( 4 star) frozen food storage compartment. • To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered: 1.Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. 2.Ensure that contents are labelled and dated. 3.Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best Before” dates on the packaging. If there is a power failure do not open the freezer door. Even if the power failure lasts up to the time specified on Type Label (inside left of the refrigerator), frozen food will not be affected. In case the failure lasts longer, the food must be checked and when necessary, must be consumed immediately or must be frozen after cooked.

Should the light fail to work, proceed as follows: 1. Switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Remove all shelves and drawers for easy access. 2. Illumination covers in freezer and fridge sections are opened by pressing by hand; first release one side and then the other by pressing on the sides as shown in the figures. 3. First check that the bulb has not worked loose by ensuring that it is screwed securely in the holder. Reinsert the plug and switch on. If the bulb works, reinstall the light cover by inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate the front two lugs. 4. If the light still fails to work, switch off at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Replace the bulb with a new 15 watt (max) screw cap E14 (SES) bulb. 5. Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb immediately. Replacement light bulb can easily be obtained from a good local electrical or DIY store.
