5.2. NeoFrost Cooling System

Thanks to the two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much faster than traditional refrigerators. Air in the fridge is kept with optimal humidity which is essential for fruit and vegetables and the freezer maintains a dry environment. Odours are also not transferred from the fridge to freezer and vice versa.

5.3. Freezing fresh food

• Wrap the food or place them in a covered container before putting in the freezer.
• Hot food and beverages must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer.
• The foodstuff that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.
• Divide the food into portions according to your family's daily or meal based consumption needs.

• Pack the food in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be stored for a short time.

• Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, oils and acids and they must also be airtight. Moreover, they must be made from easy-to-use materials that are suitable for deep-freezers.

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

Operating the product

When the ice dispenser does not work properly

If you do not remove ice cubes for a long time, they will cause formation of ice chunks. In this case, please remove the ice stock reservoir in accordance with the instructions given above, separate the ice chunks, discard the inseparable ice and put the ice cubes back into the ice stock reservoir. (Figure 4)

When ice does not come out, check for any ice stuck in the canal and remove it. Regularly check the ice canal to clear the obstacles as shown in the figure 5.

When using your refrigerator for the first time or when not using it for an extended period of time ice cubes may be small due to air in the pipe after connection, any air will be purged during normal use.

Discard the ice produced for approximately one day since the water pipe may contain the contaminants.

Caution!

Do not insert the hand or any other object into the ice canal and blade since it may damage the parts or hurt the hand.

Do not let the children hang on the ice dispenser or the ice maker since it may cause an injury

To prevent dropping the ice stock reservoir use both hands when removing it.

5.16 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 crisper 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.
