Dual cooling system

Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher than other refrigerators. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.

Defrost

A) Fridge compartment

Fridge compartment performs full-automatic defrosting.

The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance. Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the water spilling on the electric installation or on the floor.

B) Freezer compartment

The NO FROST type defrost is completely automatic. No intervention from your side is required. The water is collected on the compressor tray. Due the heat of the compressor the water is evaporated.

Warnings!

The fans inside the freezer and fresh food compartments circulates cold air. Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow children to play with the fresh food and freezer fan.

Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas (e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.

Don't cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls. Do not obstruct the fan guards to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance.

Please ensure the fans are not blocked (stopped) or impaired by food or packaging. Blocking (stopping) or impairing the fan can result in an increase of the internal freezer temperature (Thawing).

The dairy (cold storage) compartment

The dairy (cold storage) compartment provides lower temperature than the refrigerator compartment. Use this compartment to store delicatessen (salami, sausages, dairy products and etc.) that requires lower storage temperature or meat, chicken or fish products for immediate consumption. Do not store fruits and vegetables in this compartment.

Diagram of a mechanical assembly with a piston and housing, showing an arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols present)

VitaminCare+

Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illuminated with the VitaminCare+ technology preserve their vitamin A and C content for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle.

With this technology, you can keep your fruits & vegetables tasty & healthy longer which helps you to minimize food waste at home.

If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the VitaminCare+ technology, the refrigerator will automatically detect this and enable the blue, green or red light to illuminate the crisper 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.

Moisture controlled vegetable bin

With moisture control feature, moisture rates of vegetables and fruits are kept under control and ensures a longer freshness period for foods. It is recommended to store leafed vegetables such as lettuce and spinach and similar vegetables prone to moisture loss not on their roots but in horizontal position into the vegetable bin as much 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.

Do not leave vegetables in the vegetable bin in plastic bags. 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 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 vegetable bin 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.

6. Maintenance and cleaning

⚠️ Never use gasoline, benzene or similar substances for cleaning purposes.
⚠️ We recommend that you unplug the appliance before cleaning.
⚠️ Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of your refrigerator and wipe it dry.
Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
⚠️ Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical items.
⚠️ If your refrigerator is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
⚠️ To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.

Protection of plastic surfaces

Do not put the liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. In case of spilling or smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.
