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.

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. 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.

The compartment must be set to at least -18°C. Place the food items in the freezer as quickly as possible to avoid defrosting. Before freezing, check the “Expiry Date” on the package to make sure it is not expired. Make sure the food’s packaging is not damaged.

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°C. 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.

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.

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.

To achieve optimal efficiency:

Do not connect your refrigerator to power saving devices. These systems are harmful for the product.

For a freestanding appliance: ‘this refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.

Your refrigerator should be installed at least 30 cm away from heat sources such as hobs, ovens, central heater and stoves and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens and should not be located under direct sunlight.

The ambient temperature of the room where you install your refrigerator should at least be +5°C. Operating your refrigerator under cooler conditions is not recommended with regard to its efficiency.

Please make sure that the interior of your refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.

If two refrigerators are to be installed side by side, there should be at least 2 cm distance between them.

When you operate your refrigerator for the first time, please observe the following instructions during the initial six hours. The door should not be opened frequently. It must be operated empty without any food in it. Do not unplug your refrigerator. If a power failure occurs out of your control, please see the warnings in the “Recommended solutions for the problems” section.

Original packaging and foam materials should be kept for future transportations or moving.

The baskets/drawers that are provided with the chill compartment must always be in use for low energy consumption and for better storage conditions.

Food contact with the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment may increase energy consumption of the appliance. Thus any contact with the sensor(s) must be avoided.

In some models, the instrument panel automatically turns off 1 minutes after the door has closed. It will be reactivated when the door has opened or pressed on any key.

Due to temperature change as a result of opening/closing the product door during operation, condensation on the door/body shelves and the glass containers is normal.

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. Functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display and so on will operate according to the needs to consume minimum energy under these circumstances.

In case of multiple options are present glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the backwall are not blocked, prefably air outlets are remaining below the glass shelf. This combination may help impoving air distribution and energy efficiency.

To change the Bulb/LED used for illumination of your refrigerator, call your Authorised Service. The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way. The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20 °C. (only chest and upright freezer)

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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°C. 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.

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.
