6.4.Blue light/VitaminZone

\*May not be available in all models

For the 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.

For 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. If you open the door of the refrigerator during the dark period of the VitaminZone 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.

6.5.Deodoriser Module

(OdourFresh+)

\*May not be available in all models

The deodoriser module quickly eliminates the bad smells in your refrigerator before they permeate the surfaces. Thanks to this module, which is placed on the ceiling of the fresh food compartment, the bad odours dissolve while the air is actively being passed on the odour filter, then the air that has been cleaned by the filter is re-emitted to the fresh food compartment. This way, the unwanted odours that may emerge during the storage of foods in the refrigerator are eliminated before they permeate the surfaces.

This is achieved thanks to the fan, LED and the odour filter integrated into the module. In daily use, the deodoriser module will turn on automatically on a periodic basis. To maintain efficient performance, it is recommended to have the filter in the deodoriser module by the authorised service provider every 5 years. Due to the fan integrated into the module, the noise you will hear during operation is normal. If you open the door of the fresh food compartment while the module is active, the fan will pause temporarily and resume where it has left off after some time the door is closed again. In case of power failure, the deodoriser module will resume where it has left off in the total operation duration once the power is back.

It is recommended to store aromatic foods (such as cheese, olives and delicatessen foods) in their packaging and sealed to avoid bad odours that may result when smells of various foods get mixed. Besides, it is recommended to take spoiled foods out of the refrigerator quickly to prevent the other foods from getting spoiled and avoid bad odours.

6.6.Moisture controlled vegetable bin

\*May not be available in all models

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. In order to store your fruits and vegetables at ideal humidity conditions, you can change the location of the latch on the crisper. If only fruits and vegetables are stored, set the latch to fruits; if only vegetables are stored, set the latch to vegetables, if mixed items are stored, set the latch to mixed setting.

6.7. Freezing fresh food

• 8 hours before freezing the fresh food activate the Quick Freeze function.
• To preserve food quality, the food items placed in the freezer compartment must be frozen as quickly as possible, use the rapid freezing for this.
• Freezing the food items when fresh will extend the storage time in the freezer compartment.
• Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal tightly.
• Make sure the food items are packed before putting in the freezer. Use freezer holders, tinfoil and damp-proof paper, plastic bag or similar packaging materials instead of traditional packaging paper.

i

Ice in the freezing compartment thaws automatically.

- Mark each food pack by writing the date on the package before freezing. This will allow you to determine the freshness of each pack every time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier food items in the front to ensure they are used first.

• Frozen food items must be used immediately after defrosting and should not be frozen again.
• Do not free large quantities of food at once.

Freezer Compartment Temperature Setting	Cooler Compartment Temperature Setting	Details
-18°C 4°C		This is the default, recommended setting.
-20,-22 or -24°C	4°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 will regain its position.
-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.

6.8. Recommendations for storing frozen foods

The compartment must be set to at least -18°C.

1. Place the food items in the freezer as quickly as possible to avoid defrosting.
2. Before freezing, check the "Expiry Date" on the package to make sure it is not expired.
3. Make sure the food's packaging is not damaged.

6.9.Deep 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 in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume.

Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below temperature of -18^ .

You can keep the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer at or below temperatures of 18^ C).

The food items 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 this food rots, only nutritional values and eating qualities will be negatively affected. A rotting threatening human health is not in question.

6.10.Placing the food

Freezer compartment shelves	Various frozen goods including meat, fish, ice cream, vegetables etc.
Cooler compartment shelves	Food items inside pots, capped plate and capped cases, eggs (in capped case)
Cooler compartment door shelves	Small and packed food or beverages
Vegetable bin	Fruits and vegetables
Fresh food compartment	Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products to be consumed in short notice)

6.11 The dairy (cold storage) bin

Provides lower temperature within the refrigerator compartment. Use this bin 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 inside this bin.

7.1 Avoiding bad odours

• Materials that may cause odour are not used in the production of our refrigerators. However, due to inappropriate food preserving conditions and not cleaning the inner surface of the refrigerator as required can bring forth the problem of odour. Pay attention to following to avoid this problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean is important. Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odour. Therefore, clean the refrigerator with bi-carbonate dissolved in water every few months. Never use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed containers. Microorganisms spreading out from uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odours.

- Never keep the food that have passed best before dates and spoiled in the refrigerator.

7.2 Protecting the plas- tic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.
