-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.

Quick freezing

1. Activate the quick freezing function 24 hours before placing your fresh foods.
2. After 24 hours after pressing the button, place your food that you want to freeze in the third or fourth drawers with higher freezing capacity.
3. The quick freezing function will be automatically deactivated after 24 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 nutritional 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 foods like meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables etc.

Cooler compartment shelves: Food items inside pots, capped plate and capped cases, eggs (in closed case)

Cooler compartment door shelves: Small and packaged food or beverages

Crisper: Vegetables and fruits

Fresh food compartment: Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products to be consumed in short time)

Storing food in the cooler compartment

• Compartment temperatures rise prominently 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 refrigerator. To achieve a better and homogeneous cooling, place the food separately 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 temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. Then, you can place the tepid meal in the lower shelves of your refrigerator. 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, pineapple) in the refrigerator may speed up the ripening process This is not recommended 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 refrigerator.

• 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 cool the meals like soups and stews, which are cooked in the large pots, quickly, you can put them in the refrigerator by separating them into their own shallow containers.
• Do not place unpackaged food close to eggs.
• Keep the fruits and vegetables separately and store each variety together (for example; 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, remember to dry them.
• You can both create a damp environment and provide an air flow by keeping fruits and vegetables, which are prone to drying, in the perforated or unsealed plastic bags.
• Except the cases where extreme circumstances 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.

Store different food in different places according to their properties.

When getting crushed ice, the appliance may produce ice cubes first. It is possible for the appliance to produce ice cubes when getting crushed ice.

The freezer door of the ice machine may be covered by a light frost and a film layer.

This is normal and we recommend you to immediately clean it.

After some time, water may fill in the grid which is at the bottom of the water dispenser.

We recommend you to remove the water in the grid regularly.

It is normal to hear a sound when ice cubes are falling down from the ice storage bin.

This does not mean any malfunction.

The blade mechanism of the ice bin is sharp and may injure your hand.

If ice cubes aren't released from the ice dispenser, it means that the ice cubes may be stuck together. You need to clean the bin to continue to get ice cubes.

When the trigger is pressed to get ice (Indicator etc.), ice type cannot be changed.

You should release the trigger (Indicator etc.), change the ice type and take ice

again. For this purpose, you can take ice again after changing the ice type on the indicator.

9.2 Egg holder

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

9.3 Crisper

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 compartment. Keep the green-leaved vegetables and fruits separately to prolong their life.

9.4 Crisper Technologies

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.

VitaminZone

Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the VitaminZone 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 the VitaminZone technology, your refrigerator shall sense this automatically and illuminate the crisper with one of the blue, green or red lights respectively 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.

9.5 Dairy Products Cold Storage Area

Cold Storage Drawer

The Cold Storage Drawer can reach lower temperatures in the cooler compartment. Use this drawer for delicatessen products (salami, sausage, etc.) and dairy products that require colder storage conditions, or for meat, chicken or fish to be consumed quickly. It is not suitable to store fruits and vegetables in this drawer.

9.6 Humidity Controlled Crisper

Full fresh

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 vegetables 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 account 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 vegetables 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 ethylene gas coming out of these fruits might cause other vegetables and fruits to mature faster and rot in a shorter period of time.
