5.1 What To Do For Energy Saving

Connecting the product to elec- tronic energy-saving systems is harmful, as it may damage the product.

• This refrigerating appliance is not inten- ded to be used as a built in appliance.

• Do not keep the refrigerator doors open for long periods.

• Do not place hot food or beverages into the refrigerator.

• Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the internal air flow will reduce cooling capacity.

• Since hot and humid air will not directly penetrate into your product when the doors are not opened, your product will optimize itself in conditions sufficient to protect your food. Under these circum- stances, functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, light- ing, display and so on will operate ac- cording to the needs by consuming min- imum energy.

• In case that multiple options are present, glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the rear wall are not blocked and preferably, in a way that air outlets remain below the glass shelf. This com- bination may help improving air distribu- tion and energy efficiency.

• Using the below drawer when storing is strongly recommended.

• Food shall be stored using the drawers in the cooler compartment in order to en- sure energy saving and protect food in better conditions.

Before using your refrigerator, make sure the necessary preparations are made in line with the instructions in "Safety and Environ- mental Instructions" and "Installation" sec- tions.

• Keep the product running without placing any food inside for 6 hours and do not open the door, unless absolutely neces- sary.

• The temperature change caused by open- ing and closing of the door while using the product may normally lead to con- densation on door/body shelves and glassware placed in the product.

AREN / 16 A sound will be heard when the compressor is engaged. It is nor- mal for the product to make noise even if the compressor is not run- ning, as fluid and gas may be com- pressed in the cooling system. It is normal for the front edges of the refrigerator to be warm. These areas are designed to warm up in order to prevent condensation. For some models, indicator panel turns off automatically 1 minute after the door closes. It will be re- activated when the door is opened or any button is pressed.

• You can activate Quick Freezing function 4-6 hours before freezing function and perform a faster cooling.

• Bring hot meals to the room temperature before placing them in the freezer com- partment.

• Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to a size to be con- sumed, and frozen in separate packages.

• It is recommended to pack the foods be- fore placing them in the freezer.

• In order to prevent expiration of storage time, write the freezing date, time and name of the product on the package ac- cording to the storage times of different foods.

• Consume the foods you have defrosted quickly. Defrosted foods cannot be frozen again unless they are cooked. It is not safe to consume the refrozen fresh foods without cooking after they are de- frosted.

• As you freeze fresh foods, do not bring them in contact with already frozen foods. Otherwise, frozen foods will be de- frosted. Storing the foods, which are sold frozen

• Always follow the instructions of the pro- ducer in relation to the time during which you are required to store your foods. Do not excess the time specified in these in- structions!

• In order to protect the quality of the food, keep the time interval between purchas- ing transaction and storing as short as possible.

• Buy frozen food which are stored at –18 °C or lower temperatures.

• Avoid buying foods whose packages are covered with ice etc. This means that the product could be partially defrosted and refrozen. Temperature impacts the qual- ity of the food.

• Do not excess the storing time recom- mended by the food producer. Remove only the food as much as you need from the freezer.

• Except the cases where extreme circum- stances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set values, the food keep their freshness for a longer time both in the fresh product compartment and freezer compartment.

• If fresh food compartment is set to a lower temperature, fresh fruits and veget- ables may be partially frozen. Recommended set values table Freezer Compart- ment Setting Fridge Compart- ment Setting Remarks -20 °C 4 °C This is the default, recommended setting. This setting is recommended if ambient temperature is below 30 °C. 22 or -24 °C 4 °C/2 °C These settings are recommended for ambient temperatures exceeding 30 °C. Quick Freeze 4 °C Use when you want to freeze your food in a short time. When the process ends, the product’s settings will return to previous position. -24 °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. Quick freezing

1. Activate the quick freezing function 24

hours before placing your fresh foods.

2. 24 hours after pressing the button,

place your food that you want to freeze on the first shelf with higher freezing capacity.

3. The quick freezing function will be

automatically deactivated after 52 hours. Freezer details As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4.5 kg of food items at -18 °C or lower temperatures at 25 °C room temperature in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume. Food products can only be preserved for extended periods at or below temperature of -18 °C. You can keep the foods fresh for months (in freezer at or below temperatures of -18 °C). The food products 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. In case these foods are frozen, only nutri-

AREN / 20 tional values and eating qualities will be negatively affected. A rotting that would threaten human health is not in question. Placing the food Freezer compartment shelves: Different frozen food like meat, fish, ice cream, ve- getables etc. Cooler compartment shelves: Food items inside pots, capped plate and capped cases, eggs (in capped case) Cooler compartment door shelves: Small and packaged food or beverages Crisper: Fruits and vegetables Fresh food compartment: Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products to be con- sumed in short notice) Storing food in the cooler compartment

• Compartment temperatures rise promin- ently if compartment door is opened and closed frequently and kept open for a long time, this can reduce the life span of the food and cause the food to spoil.

• In order not to cause odour and taste changes, the food should be stored in the closed containers.

• Do not store too much food in your refri- gerator. To achieve a better and homo- geneous cooling, place the food separ- ately in a way that cold air can wander through them.

• Provide air flow by leaving a space between the food and internal wall. If you lean the food against the rear wall, the food may freeze.

• Bring cooked hot meals to the room tem- perature before placing them in the refri- gerator. Then, you can place the tepid meal in the lower shelves of your refriger- ator. Do not place the tepid meals close to the foods which may easily spoil.

• Defrost your frozen food in the fresh food compartment. Thereby, you can cool fresh food compartment by using frozen food and save energy.

• Storing unripe tropical fruits (mango, melon varieties, papaya, banana, pine- apple) in the refrigerator may speed up the ripening process This is not recom- mended because it will cause shorter storage time.

• You should store onions, garlics, gingers and other root vegetables in dark and cold room conditions, not in the refriger- ator.

• If you notice that a food has spoiled in the refrigerator, throw away that food and clean the accessories which have come into contact with it.

• In order to quickly cool the meals like soups and stews, which are cooked in the large pots, you can put them in the re- frigerator by separating them into shal- low containers.

• Do not place unpackaged food close to eggs.

• Keep the fruits and vegetables separately and store each variety together (for ex- ample; apples with apples, carrots with carrots)

• Take green vegetables out of the plastic bag and place them in the refrigerator after wrapping them in a paper towel or drying cloth. If you wash this type of food before placing them in the refrigerator, re- member to dry them.

• You can both create a damp environment and provide an air flow by keeping fruits and vegetables, which are prone to dry- ing, in the perforated or unsealed plastic bags.

• Except the cases where extreme circum- stances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set values, the food keep their freshness for a longer time both in the fresh product compartment and freezer compartment.

7.1 Replacing the Illumination Lamp

Call the Authorized Service when the Bulb/ LED used for lighting in your refrigerator will be replaced. Lamp(s) used in this appliance cannot be used for house lighting. Intended use of this lamp is to help the user place food into the refrigerator / freezer safely and com- fortably.

7.2 Freezing Fresh Foods

It is recommended to place the food in the refrigerator by wrapping it or covering it. Hot food should be cooled to room temper- ature before placing it in the refrigerator. The food items you want to freeze must be of good quality and fresh. Food items should be divided into portions according to the family's daily or meal por- tion requirements. Even if the food items will be stored for a short time, they should be packed in an air- tight manner to prevent them from drying out. The materials used in packaging the food should be resistant to cold, moisture, tear- ing, odour, oil and acid and should be air- tight. In addition, it should properly cover it, and be of useful and deep material. Frozen food items must be used immedi- ately after defrosting and must not be frozen again. To obtain the best result, apply the follow- ing instructions:

1. Do not freeze large amounts of food at

the same time. The best possible way to preserve the quality of food is to freeze them deeply as quickly as pos- sible.

2. When hot food is placed in the freezer

compartment, the cooling system works continuously for a while to cool these foods until they are completely hardened.

3. Take special care not to mix frozen

food with fresh food.

The door open alert system of your refriger- ator may differ depending on the model. Version 1; If the door of the product remains open for a certain time (between 60 s and 120 s), an audio warning signal sounds; depending on the product model, a visual warning signal (light flash) can also be displayed. If you close the door of the device or press a but- ton on the screen of the device, if any, the warning sound will stop. Version 2; If the door of the device remains open for a certain period of time (between 60 s and 120 s), the door open alert is sounded. The door open alert is sounded gradually. First, an audible warning starts to sound. After 4 minutes, if the door is still not closed, a visual warning (lighting flash) is activated. The door open alert will be delayed for a

AREN / 22 certain period of time (between 60 s and 120 s) when any key on the product screen, if any, is pressed. Then the process will start again. When the device door is closed, the door open alert will be cancelled.

7.4 Reversing the Door Opening

Side The door opening side of your refrigerator can be reversed according to the place you put it. When you need this, you should def- initely call the nearest Authorized Service. 8 Product Features

8.1 The ice storage area

Ice Machine Ice machine allows you take ice easily from the refrigerator. Using the ice machine

1. Remove the water tank in the cooler

2. Fill the water tank with water.

3. Place the water tank back. First ice will

be ready in about 4 hours in the ice maker drawer in the freezer compart- ment. A sound may be made during ice pouring. This sound is normal. You may obtain about 60-70 cubes of ice when the water tank is full. Water inside the water tank shall be replaced within 2-3 weeks at most.

You can place the egg holder on the door or body shelf you wish. If the egg holder is to be placed on the body shelf, we recommend you to choose colder lower shelves. Never place the egg holder on the freezer compartment

The refrigerator's crisper is designed to keep vegetables fresh by preserving their humidity. For this purpose, the overall cold air circulation is intensified in the crisper. Keep fruits and vegetables in this compart- ment. Keep the green-leaved vegetables and fruits separately to prolong their life. Ethylene Filter The ethylene retaining filter helps to re- move the ethylene gas and bad odours re- leased from the vegetables and fruits in the crisper. You may store the fruits such as pear, apricot, peach and particularly apples, which generate high amount of ethylene gas, separately with other vegetables and fruits in the same crisper thanks to the ve- getable separator. The ethylene gas released from these fruits may cause your other vegetables and fruits to ripen faster and rot in a shorter time. Thanks to this feature, you may keep your fresh food and particularly your green ve- getables that are sensitive to ethylene gas fresh for a longer period of time. You may store your food for a longer period of time by placing the foods sensitive to ethylene gas in one of the compartments separated by the crisper separator, and the foods that generate ethylene gas in the other compartment.

AREN / 23 Foods that generate ethylene gas and that are sensitive to ethylene gas are listed be- low. Foods that generate ethylene gas; Apple, pear, apricot, peach, nectarine, avocado, kiwi, plum, fig, quince, tomato Foods that are sensitive to ethylene gas; Fresh green vegetables (such as lettuce, parsley), strawberry, cherry, grapes, orange, tangerine, pineapple, cherry, lemon, cucum- ber, broccoli, pepper, eggplant, okra, zuc- chini Cleaning of the Ethylene Filter Ethylene filter shall be cleaned once a year. Remove the ethylene filter by pulling the fil- ter cover upwards as shown in the figure. Leave the ethylene filter under sunlight for a day. Thus, your filter shall be cleaned. Put the filter back, and close the upper cover. To provide maximum effectiveness of your filter and to preserve its performance, avoid contact with oil and similar fluids, and ma- terials such as water and detergents. Com- municate with the service to replace your filter with a new one after such contact. Cleaning of the Crisper Separator To prevent blockage of the clean air holes of the crisper separator, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth in specified intervals. If the separator shall be washed, always remove the filter from the separator. Ensure that the holes around the fil- ter are not blocked to ensure air cir- culation.

8.4 Crisper Technologies

Blue Light Fruits and vegetables stored in the crispers that are illuminated with a blue light con- tinue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus preserve their vitamin content. HarvestFresh Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illu- minated with theHarvestFresh technology preserve their vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle. When the door of your refrigerator is opened during the dark period of theHar- vestFresh technology, your refrigerator shall sense this automatically and illumin- ate the crisper with one of the blue, green or red lights respectively for your conveni- ence. After you have closed the door of the refrigerator, the dark period will continue, representing the night time in a day cycle.

It is an air distribution system that provides homogeneous temperature distribution. With the air circulation, the homogeneous

AREN / 24 temperature distribution is ensured in the fresh food storage compartment, and the temperature fluctuations are kept at low levels. No direct air blowing over the food is realized and this helps to reduce moisture loss. It preserves the freshness of the food stored in the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator. In this way, your food is stored at more stable temperatures and the contact with air is reduced. The drying and shrinking of foods by losing moisture is prevented and freshness is provided for a longer time.

8.6 Humidity Controlled Crisper

Everfresh With the humidity controlled crisper feature, the humidity of vegetables and fruits is kept under control and the food is kept fresh for a longer period of time. We recommend that you place leafy veget- ables such as lettuce, spinach and similar vegetables that are sensitive to moisture loss in the crisper, not upright on their roots, but as horizontally as possible. When placing the vegetables, place heavy and hard vegetables at the bottom and light and soft ones on the top, taking into ac- count the specific weights of vegetables. Never leave vegetables in plastic bags in the crisper. Leaving them in plastic bags causes vegetables to rot in a short time. In situations where contact with other ve- getables is not preferred, use packaging materials such as paper that has a certain level of porosity in terms of hygiene. Do not put fruits that have a high ethylene gas production such as pear, apricot, peach and particularly apple in the same crisper with other vegetables and fruits. The ethyl- ene gas coming out of these fruits might cause other vegetables and fruits to mature faster and rot in a shorter period of time. 9 Maintenance and Cleaning
