This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built in appliance. Do not keep the refrigerator doors open for long periods. Do not place hot food or beverages into the refrigerator. 5.1 What To Do For Energy Saving Do not overfill the refrigerator; blocking the internal air flow will reduce cooling capacity. Depending on the product's features; defrosting frozen foods in the cooler compartment will ensure both energy saving and preserve food quality. Food shall be stored using the drawers in the cooler compartment in order to ensure energy saving and protect food in better conditions. Make sure the foods are not in contact with the cooler compartment temperature sensor shown below. 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. Under these circumstances, functions and components such as compressor, fan, heater, defrost, lighting, display and so on will operate according to the needs by consuming minimum energy. In case that multiple options are present, glass shelves must be placed so that the air outlets at the rear wall are not blocked and preferably, in a way that air outlets remain below the glass shelf. This combination may help improving air distribution and energy efficiency. 5.2 First Use Before using your refrigerator, make sure the necessary preparations are made in line with the instructions in "Safety and Environmental Instructions" and "Installation" sections. Keep the product running without placing any food inside for 12 hours and do not open the door, unless absolutely necessary. A sound will be heard when the compressor is engaged. It is normal for the product to make noise even if the compressor is not running, as fluid and gas may be compressed in the cooling system.

Hot food and beverages must cool down to room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator. The food that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality. Pack the food in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be stored for a short time. Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, oils and acids and they must also be airtight. All packaging must be completely sealed. Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be refrozen. Do not freeze excessively 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. Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. 7.2 Recommendations for preserving frozen food To ensure the quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and food retailler is maintained, follow the steps listed below: 1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. 2. Make sure that contents of the package are labelled and dated. 3.

If required, remove door shelves prior to Deli Drawer removal 7.9 Humidity controlled crisper (EverFresh+) Humidity levels of the vegetables and fruit are kept under control with the feature of humiditycontrolled crisper and the food is ensured to stay fresh longer.We recommend you to place the leafy vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and the vegetables which are sensitive to humidity loss, in a horizontal manner as much as possible inside the crisper, not on their roots in a vertical position. While the vegetables are being placed, individual weights of the vegetables should be taken into consideration. Heavy and hard vegetables should be put at the bottom of the crisper and the lightweight and soft vegetables should be placed on top. Never leave vegetables inside the crisper in their bags. This will cause them to decompose prematuraly. If you wish to keep vegetables separate, use perforated paper bags or similar materials to do so. Certain fruits such as pears, apricots, peaches or apples generate high levels of ethylene gas. Do not place them with other fruits and vegetables which do not, as this will cause them to decompose faster. 7.10 Harvest Fresh Crispers of the refrigerator are illuminated with blue light. Food stored in the crispers continue their photosynthesis by means of the wavelength effect of blue light and thus, preserve their freshness and preserves their vitamin content. 7.11 Odor filter Odor filter in the air duct of the fridge compartment prevents build-up of unpleasant odors in the refrigerator.

To polish, gently wipe the surface with a microfibre cloth dampened with water and use dry polishing chamois. Always follow the veins of the stainless steel. Preventing Odours The product is manufactured free of any odorous materials. However, keeping the food in inappropriate sections and improper cleaning of internal surfaces may lead to odours. To avoid this, clean the inside with carbonated water every 15 days. Keep the foods in sealed holders, as microorganisms arising from foods kept in unsealed containers will cause bad odour. Do not keep expired and spoilt foods in the refrigerator. Tea is one of the most effective odour removers. Place the pulp of the brewed tea in the product inside an open container and remove it after 12 hours at the latest. If you keep the tea pulp inside the product for longer than 12 hours, it will collect the organisms that cause the odour so it can be the source of odour itself.
