Operating the product

Boil the vegetables and drain their water in order

to store vegetables for a longer time as frozen.

After draining their water, put them in air-proof

packages and place them inside the freezer. Food

such as bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled

eggs, potatoes are not suitable for freezing. When

these foods are frozen, only their nutritional value

and taste shall be affected negatively. They shall

not be spoiled so that they would create a risk for

human health.

5.6 Door open warning

(This feature is optional)

The door open alert system of your refrigerator

may differ depending on the model.

Version 1;

If the door of the product remains open for a

certain time (between 60 s and 120 s), an audio

warning signal sounds; depending on the product

model, a visual warning signal (light flash) can also

be displayed. If you close the door of the device or

press a button on the screen of the device, if any,

the warning sound will stop.

Version 2;

If the door of the device remains open for a certain

period of time (between 60 s and 120 s), the

door open alert is sounded. The door open alert is

sounded gradually. First, an audible warning starts

to sound. After 4 minutes, if the door is still not

closed, a visual warning (lighting flash) is activated.

The door open alert will be delayed for a certain

period of time (between 60 s and 120 s) when any

key on the product screen, if any, is pressed. Then

the process will start again. When the device door

is closed, the door open alert will be cancelled.

5.7 Crisper

Crisper of the refrigerator is designed specially

to keep the vegetables fresh without loosing their

humidity. For this purpose, cool air circulation is

intensified around the crisper in general. Remove

the door shelves that stand against the crisper

before removing the crisper.

5.8 Humidity-controlled crisper

(This feature is optional)

Humidity rates of fruits and vegetables are kept

under control thanks to the humidity-controlled

crisper and thus the food is ensured to stay fresh

for a longer period.

We recommend that you place leafy vegetables

such as lettuce and spinach and vegetables sensi-

tive to humidity loss as horizontally as possible

when putting them in the crisper; not in a horizon-

tal position on their roots.

While the vegetables are being replaced, their spe-

cific weights should be taken into consideration.

Heavy and hard vegetables must be placed at the

bottom of the crisper and light and soft vegetables

must be on the upper part.

Never leave the vegetables in their plastic bags in

the crisper. If they are left in their plastic bags, this

will cause them to rot in a little while. If you not

prefer the vegetable to get in contact with other

vegetables for hygienic reasons, use perforated

paper or a similar material instead of plastic bags.

Do not place pears, apricots, peaches etc.,

18 / 23 EN Refrigerator / User Manual

Operating the product

especially those fruits that generate large amounts

of ethylene, in the same crisper with other fruits

and vegetables. The ethylene gas emitted by these

fruits cause other fruits to ripen sooner and to rot

in a shorter span of time.

5.9 Egg tray

You can install the egg holder to the desired door

or body shelf.

Never keep the egg holder in the freezer

compartment.

5.10 Movable Middle Section

Movable middle section is intended to prevent

the cold air inside your refrigerator from escaping

outside.

5.11 Blue light

(in some models)

Crisper of the refrigerator are illuminated with a

blue light. Foodstuff stored in the crisper continue

their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength

effect of blue light and thus, preserve their

freshness and increase their vitamin content.

5.12 Odour filter

Odour filter in the air duct of the fridge

compartment prevents build-up of unpleasant

odours in the refrigerator.

5.13 Making ice

(in some models)

Fill the ice container with water and place it into

the freezer compartment. Your ice will be ready

approximately in two hours.

You can remove the ice in the ice container by

removing it from the freezer and twisting it.

1- Sealing is provided when the gaskets on the

door presses on the surface of the movable middle

section while the fridge compartment doors are

closed.

2- Another reason that your refrigerator is

equipped with a movable middle section is that it

increases the net volume of the fridge compart-

ment. Standard middle sections occupy some

non-usable volume in the refrigerator.

3-Movable middle section is closed when the left

door of the fridge compartment is opened.

4-It must not be opened manually. It moves under

the guidance of the plastic part on the body while

the door is closed.

6.1 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.

6.2 Protecting the plastic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your

refrigerator in unsealed containers as they dam-

age 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.
