4. Preparation
4.1 What to do for
energy saving
A
Connecting the product
to electric energy saving
systems is risky as it may
cause damage on the

is not intended to be used as
a built-in appliance.
• Do not leave the doors of your
refrigerator open for a long
time.
• Do not put hot food or drinks
in your refrigerator.
• Do not overload the
refrigerator. Cooling capacity
will fall when the air
circulation in the refrigerator
is hindered.
• 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.
• Do not place the refrigerator
in places subject to direct
sunlight. Install the product
at least 30 cm away from heat
sources such as hobs, ovens,
heater units and stoves and
at least 5 cm away from

has been determined after
removing the icematic and
the upper drawers as to
allow maximum loading. It
is strongly recommended to
use the lower drawers in the
freezer and the multizone
compartment while loading.
18
• Airflow should not be blocked
by placing foods in front of
the freezer and the multizone
compartment fans. Foods
should be loaded by leaving
minimum 5 cm space in front
of the protective fan grid.

is located should at least
be 10ºC /50°F. Operating
your refrigerator under
cooler conditions is not
recommended with regard
to its efficiency.
CInside of your refrigerator
must be cleaned
thoroughly.
CIf two coolers are to be
installed side by side, there
should be at least 4 cm
distance between them.
4.2 Recommendations

These settings are recommended
when the ambient temperature
exceeds 30°C.
Quick Freeze 4°C
Use when you wish to freeze your
food in a short time. Your product
will return to its previous mode
when the process is over.
-18°C or colder 2°C
Use these settings if you think that
your fridge compartment is not cold
enough because of the hot ambient
conditions or frequent opening and
closing of the door.
5.4 Recommendations for
preserving the frozen food
Compartment shall be set to -18°C at
least.
1. Put packages in the freezer
as quickly as possible after
purchase without allowing the
to thaw.
2. Check whether the "Use By"
and "Best Before" dates on the
packaging are expired or not
before freezing it.
3. Ensure that the package of the
food is not damaged.
5.5Deep-freeze information
According to IEC 62552 standards,
the product shall freeze at least
4.5 kg of food at 25°C ambient
temperature to -18°C or lower
within 24 hours for every 100-litres
of freezer volume.
It is possible to preserve the food
for a long time only at -18°C or
lower temperatures.
31
You can keep the freshness of
food for many months (at -18°C or
lower temperatures in the deep
freeze).
Foods to be frozen should not be
allowed to come in contact with the
previously frozen items to prevent
them from getting thawed partially.
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.

5.7 Door open warning
(This feature is optional)
An audio warning signal will
be given when the door of your
product is left open for 1 minute.
This warning will be muted when
the door is closed or any of the
display buttons (if any) are pressed.
32
5.8 Crisper
Crisper of the refrigerator is
designed specially to keep the
vegetables fresh without losing
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.
5.9 Humidity-controlled
crisper Everfresh+(R)
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
sensitive to humidity loss as
horizontally as possible when
putting them in the crisper; not in a
horizontal position on their roots.
While the vegetables are being
replaced, their specific 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 decompose
in a short period of time. 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., 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.
5.10Egg tray
You can install the egg holder to
the desired door or body shelf.
Never keep the egg holder in the
freezer compartment.
5.11 Movable Middle Section

intended to prevent the cold air
inside your refrigerator from
escaping outside.
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 compartment.
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.
33
4. It must not be opened
manually. It moves under the
guidance of the plastic part
on the body while the door is
closed.
The feature of switching to a
Fridge or Freezer compartment
is provided by a cooling element
located in the closed section
(Compressor Compartment)
behind the refrigerator. During
operation of this element, sounds
similar to the sound of seconds
heard from an analogue clock may
be heard. This is normal and is not
fault cause.
5.12 Cool Control Storage
Compartment
*May not be available in all
models
The Cool Control Storage
Compartment of your refrigerator
may be used in any desired mode
by adjusting it to fridge (2/4/6/8
°C) or freezer (-18/-20/-22/-24)
temperatures. You can keep the
compartment at the desired
temperature with the Cool
Control Storage Compartment’s
Temperature Setting Button. The
temperature of the Cool Control
Storage Compartment may be set
to 0 and 10 degrees in addition
to the fridge compartment
temperatures and to -6 degrees
in addition to the freezer

5.13 Blue light/Vitamin
Care Technology
*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 C
content longer.
For VitaminCare+,
Fruits and vegetables stored in
crispers illuminated with the
VitaminCare+ technology preserve
their vitamin A and C content for
a longer time thanks to the blue,
green, red lights and dark cycles,
which simulate a day cycle.
With this technology, you can keep
your fruits & vegetables tasty &
healthy longer which helps you to
minimize food waste at home.
34
If you open the door of the
refrigerator during the dark period
of the VitaminCare+ 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.
5.14 Odour filter
Odour filter in the air duct of the
fridge compartment prevents
build-up of unpleasant odours in
the refrigerator.
5.15 Use of internal water
dispenser and water

(15L) has been dispensed. This will
flush air from the filter and water
dispensing system, and prepare
the water filter for use. Additional
flushing may be required in some
households. As air is cleared from
the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator
to cool down and chill water.
Dispense enough water every week
to maintain a fresh supply.
C
After 5 minutes of
continuous dispensing,
the dispenser will stop
dispensing water to avoid
flooding. To continue
dispensing, press the
dispenser paddle again.

may drip drops of water.
To prevent water dripping
or leaking from dispenser,
please bleed the air from
the system by dispensing
5-6 gallons (about 20 liter)
of water through the water
dispenser before the first
use and every time after you
change the water filter. This
will remove any air trapped
in the system and stop the
water dispenser from leaking.
Checking coupler position
and the straightness of water
line at the back of the unit
will be required if there’s an
obstruction in water flow.
C
If your water dispenser is leaking
just a few drops of water after
you have dispensed some water,
this is normal.
36
5.18 Icematic
(in some models)
To get ice from the icematic,
fill the water tank in the fridge
compartment with water up to the
maximum level.
Ice cubes in the ice drawer may
stick to each other and become
a bulk due to hot and humid air
in approximately 15 days. This is
normal. If you cannot break the
bulk apart, you can empty the ice
container and make ice again.
CIt is recommended to
change the water in the
water tank if it remains in
the water tank for more
then 2-3 weeks.
CStrange noises you hear
from the refrigerator at
120-minute intervals are
the sounds of ice-making
