Freezing fresh food

• It must be preferred to wrap or cover the food before placing them in the refrigerator.
• 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.
• The 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 packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids and they must also be airtight. Moreover, they must be well closed and they must be made from easy-to-use materials that are suitable for deep freeze usage.
• 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.

• 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.

• Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.
• Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

Recommendations for preservation of frozen food

• 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:

• Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

• Ensure that contents are labeled and dated.
• Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.

Placing the food

Freezer compartment shelves	Various frozen food such as meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables and etc.
Egg tray Egg
Fridge compartment shelves	Food in pans, covered plates and closed containers
Fridge compartment door shelves	Small and packaged food or drinks (such as milk, fruit juice and beer)
Crisper Vegetables and fruits
Freshzone compartment	Delicatessen products (cheese, butter, salami and etc.)

Deep-freeze information

Food must be frozen as rapidly as possible when they are put in a refrigerator in order to keep them in good quality.

The TSE norm requires (according to certain measurement conditions) the refrigerator to freeze at least 4.5 kg of foodstuff at 32°C ambient temperature to -18°C or lower within 24 hours for every 100-liters of freezer volume. It is possible to keep the food for a long time only at -18°C or lower temperatures.

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

WARNING!

• 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 necessary for packaging:

• Cold resistant adhesive tape
• Self adhesive label
• Rubber rings
• Pen

Materials to be used for packaging the foodstuff must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids.

Foodstuff to be frozen should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent their partial thawing.

Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.

Multi-Hygiene

Consists of 3 main protection systems.

Hygiene+: The photocatalyst filter in the air channel of refrigerator helps to clean the air inside. Also this filter reduces bad smells.

Silver+: Inner surfaces of the refrigerator and crispers both have anti-bacterial properties because of silver ingredient. So bacteria can not reproduce on these surfaces. Thus the unpleasant smell will not be produced by the bacteria on the surfaces.

Ion+: Ionizer, that is in the air channel of refrigerator, ionizers the air. With the help of this system airborne bacteria and bad smells originated from these bacteria will be reduced.

Zero temperature compartment

This compartment has been designed to store frozen food which would be thawed slowly (meat, fish, chicken, etc.) as required. Zero temperature compartment is the coldest place of your refrigerator in which dairy products (cheese, butter), meat, fish or chicken may be kept at ideal storage conditions. Vegetables and/or fruits must not be placed in this compartment.

7 Recommended solutions for the problems

Please review this list before calling the service. It might save you time and money. This list includes frequent complaints that are not arising from defective workmanship or material usage. Some of the features described here may not exist in your product.

The refrigerator does not operate.

• Is the refrigerator properly plugged in? Insert the plug to the wall socket.
• Is the fuse of the socket which your refrigerator is connected to or the main fuse blown out? Check the fuse.

Condensation on the side wall of the fridge compartment (MULTIZONE, COOL CONTROL and FLEXI ZONE).

• Very cold ambient conditions. Frequent opening and closing of the door. Highly humid ambient conditions. Storage of food containing liquid in open containers. Leaving the door ajar. Switching the thermostat to a colder degree.
• Decreasing the time the door left open or using it less frequently.
  • Covering the food stored in open containers with a suitable material.
• Wipe the condensation using a dry cloth and check if it persists.

Compressor is not running

• Protective thermic of the compressor will blow out during sudden power failures or plug-out plug-ins as the refrigerant pressure in the cooling system of the refrigerator has not been balanced yet. Your refrigerator will start running approximately after 6 minutes. Please call the service if the refrigerator does not startup at the end of this period.
• The fridge is in defrost cycle. This is normal for a full-automatically defrosting refrigerator. Defrosting cycle occurs periodically.
• Your refrigerator is not plugged into the socket. Make sure that the plug is properly fit into the socket.
• Are the temperature adjustments correctly made?
  • Power might be cut off.

The fridge is running frequently or for a long time.

• Your new product may be wider than the previous one. This is quite normal. Large refrigerators operate for a longer period of time.
• The ambient room temperature may be high. This is quite normal.
• The refrigerator might have been plugged in recently or might have been loaded with food. Cooling down of the refrigerator completely may last for a couple of hours longer.
• Large amounts of hot food might have been put in the refrigerator recently. Hot food causes longer running of the refrigerator until they reach the safe storage temperature.
• Doors might have been opened frequently or left ajar for a long time. The warm air that has entered into the refrigerator causes the refrigerator to run for longer periods. Open the doors less frequently.
• Freezer or fridge compartment door might have been left ajar. Check if the doors are tightly closed.
