Pay attention not to squeeze any parts of your body such as hands, feet and etc. between the movable parts while the drawer is in use in order to avoid any injury.

You can remove the partition in the drawer as illustrated when you want to clean it.

You can remove the drawers only for cleaning. It is not possible to group the drawers in their places after loading them with food when they are removed.

5.6. Ionizer

(Optional)

The ionizer system in the cooler compartment's air duct serves to ionize the air. The negative ion emissions will eliminate bacteria and other molecules causing odour in the air.

5.7. Humidity controlled crisper (FreSHelf)

(This feature is optional)

Humidity rates of the vegetables and fruit are kept under control with the feature of humidity-controlled crispers and the food is ensured to stay fresh for longer.

We recommend you to place the leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and the vegetables which are sensitive to humidity loss, in a horizontal manner as much as possible inside the crisper, not on their roots in a vertical position. While the vegetables are being placed, specific gravity of the vegetables should be taken into consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables should be put at the bottom of the crisper and the lightweight and soft vegetables should be placed over.

Never leave the vegetables inside the crisper in their bags. If the vegetables are left inside their bags, this will cause them to decompose in a short period of time. In case contacting with other vegetables is not preferred for hygiene concerns, use a perforated paper and other similar packaging materials instead of a bag.

Do not place together the pear, apricot, peach, etc. and apple in particular which have a high level of generation of ethylene gas in the same crisper with the other vegetables and fruit. The ethylene gas which is emitted by these fruit may cause the other fruit to ripen faster and decompose in a shorter time.

5.8. Movable middle section

Movable middle section is intended to prevent the cold air inside your refrigerator from escaping outside.

Sealing is provided when the gaskets on the door presses on the surface of the movable middle section while the cooler compartment doors are closed.

Another reason that your refrigerator is equipped with a movable middle section is that it increases the net volume of the cooler compartment.Standard middle sections occupy some non-usable volume in the refrigerator.

Movable middle section is closed when the left door of the cooler compartment is closed.

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

5.9. Ice container

(Optional)

Ice container allows you to obtain ice from the product easily.

Using the ice container

1. Remove the ice container from the freezer compartment.
2. Fill the ice container with water.
3. Place the ice container in the freezer compartment. About two hours later, the ice is ready.
4. Remove the ice container from the freezer compartment and bend it over the service plate. Ice cubes will easily fall down to the service plate.

5.10.ice box

Please read the warnings carefully on the ice container. The ice container is used for ice collection poured ice machine. Do not put water in it to make ice as it may break. The ice container is not used for storing foods.

Warning: Do not change the location of the ice container.

5.11. Ice maker

The ice machine is nonremovable. There must be ice container at the bottom of the ice machine.

5.12. Blue light/HarvestFresh *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 content.

ForHarvestFresh,

Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the HarvestFresh technology preserve their vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle.

If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the HarvestFresh 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.

Using the product

5.13.Freezing fresh food

• 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.
• Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal tightly.

• 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.

• 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 froze large quantities of food at once.

Freezer Compartment Setting	Cooler compartment Setting	Descriptions
-18°C	4°C	This is the default, recommended setting.
-20,-22 or -24°C	4°C	These settings are recommended for ambient temperatures exceeding 30°C.
Rapid Freeze	4°C	Use this to freeze food items in a short time. The product will reset to previous settings when the process is completed.
-18°C or colder	2°C	Use these settings if you believe the cooler compartment is not cold enough due to ambient temperature or frequently opening the door.

5.14.Recommendations for storing frozen foods

The compartment must be set to at least -18^ .

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.

5.15.Deep freezer details

As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4.5kg of food items at -18^ 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 temperature of - 18°C .

You can keep the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer at or below temperatures of 18^ ).

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. 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.

5.16.Placing the food

Freezer compartment shelves	Various frozen foods 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)

6.1 Avoiding bad odours

• Materials that may cause odour are not used in the production of our refrigerators. However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of the refrigerator as required can bring forth the problem of odour. Pay attention to following to avoid this problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean is important. Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odour. Therefore, clean the refrigerator with bi-carbonatedissolved in water every few months. Never use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed containers. Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odours.
• Never keep the food that have passed best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.
