foodstuffs on top shelf of freezer for initial
freezing.
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.
Freezing fresh food
zWrap or cover the food before
placing them in the refrigerator.
zHot food must cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in the
refrigerator.
zThe foodstuff that you want to freeze
must be fresh and in good quality.
zFoodstuff must be divided into portions
according to the family’s daily or meal
based consumption needs.
zFoodstuff must be packaged in an
airtight manner to prevent them from
drying even if they are going to be kept
for a short time.
zMaterials to be used for packagings
must be resistant to cold and humidity
and they must be airtight. The packaging
material of the food must be at a
sufficient thickness and durability.
Otherwise the food hardened due to
freezing may puncture the packaging. It
is important for the packaging to be
closed securely for safe storage of the
food.
zFrozen food must be used immediately
after they are thawed and they should
never be re-frozen.
zPlacing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the cooling system
to operate continuously until the food is
frozen solid.
zPlease observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
1. 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.
2. Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
3. Make sure raw foods are not in
contact with cooked foods in the fridge.
4. Maximum frozen food storage volume
is achieved without using the drawers
provided in the freezer compartment.

Harvest Fresh
Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers
illuminated with the HarvestFresh
technology preserve their vitamin content
(vitamin A and C) 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
HarvestFresh 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.
Recommendations for the
fresh food compartment

zDo not allow the food to touch the
temperature sensor in fresh food
compartment. To allow the fresh food
compartment keep its ideal storage
temperature, sensor must not be
hindered by food.
zDo not place hot foods in the product.
Deep-freeze information
Food must be frozen as rapidly as
possible when they are put in the freezer
in order to keep them in good quality.
The TSE norm requires (according to
certain measurement conditions) the
refrigerator to freeze at least 4.5 kg of
foodstuff at 32°C ambient temperature
to -18°C or lower within 24 hours for
every 100-liters of freezer volume.
It is possible to preserve the food for a
long time only at -18°C or lower
temperatures.
You can keep the freshness of food
for many months (at -18°C or lower
temperatures in the deep freeze).
WARNING!
zFoodstuff must be divided into portions
according to the family’s daily or meal
based consumption needs.
zFoodstuff must be packaged in an
airtight manner to prevent them from
drying even if they are going to be kept
for a short time.

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 spillin
g or smearing oil on
the
plastic surfaces, clean and rinse
the
relevant part of the surface at
once with warm water.
Never use gasoline, benzene or
similar substances for cleaning
purposes.
We recommend that you unplug the
ppliance before cleaning.
Never use any sharp abrasive
instrument, soap, household cleaner,
detergent and wax polish for
cleaning.
Use lukewar
m 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 h
ousing 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.
Never use cleaning agents or water
that contain chlorine to clean the
outer surfaces and chromium coated
parts of the product.
Chlorine causes
corrosion on such metal surfaces.
