7.2 Storing Food In The Cooler Compartment
Storing Food In The Cooler Compart- ment Compartment temperatures rise promin-
ently if compartment door is opened and closed frequently and kept open for a long time, this can reduce the life span of the food and cause the food to go bad.
In order not to cause odour and taste changes, the food should be stored in the closed containers.
Do not store too much food in your refri- gerator. To achieve a better and homo- geneous cooling, place the food separ- ately in a way that cold air can wander through them.
Provide air flow by leaving a space between the food and internal wall. If you lean the food against the rear wall, the food may freeze.
Bring cooked hot meals to the room tem- perature before placing them in the refri- gerator. Then, you can place the tepid meal in the lower shelves of your refriger- ator. Do not place the tepid meals close to the foods which may easily spoil.
Defrost your frozen food in the fresh food compartment. Thereby, you can cool fresh food compartment by using frozen food and save energy.
Storing unripe tropical fruits (mango, melon varieties, papaya, banana, pine- apple) in the refrigerator may speed up the ripening process This is not recommended because it will cause shorter storage time.
You should store onions, garlics, gingers and other root vegetables in dark and cold room conditions, not in the refrigerator.
EN / 18
If you notice that a food has spoiled in the refrigerator, throw away that food and clean the accessories which have come into contact with it.
In order to cool the meals like soups and stews, which are cooked in the large pots, quickly, you can put them in the refriger- ator by separating them into their own shallow containers.
Do not place the unpackaged food close to the eggs.
Keep the fruits and vegetables separately and store each variety together (for ex- ample; apples with apples, carrots with carrots)
Take green vegetables out of the plastic bag and place them in the refrigerator after wrapping them in a paper towel or drying cloth. If you wash this type of food before placing them in the refrigerator, remember to dry them.
You can both create a damp environment and provide an air flow by keeping fruits and vegetables, which are prone to drying, in the perforated or unsealed plastic bags.
Except the cases where extreme circum- stances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set val- ues, the food keep their freshness for a longer time both in the fresh product com- partment and freezer compartment.
Store Foods In The Different Places According To Their Properties:
Food Place
Egg Door Shelf
Dairy products (butter, cheese) If available, zero degree (for breakfast food) compart- ment
Fruits, vegetables and greenery Fruit-vegetable compartment, crisper or
EverFresh+ compartment (if available)
Fresh meat, poultry, fish, sausage etc. Cooked foods If available, zero degree (for breakfast food) compart- ment
Ready to serve foods, packaged products, canned foods and pickles
Top shelves or door shelf
Beverages, bottles, spices and snacks Door Shelf
Storing Food In The Freezer Compart- ment You can activate Quick Freezing function
4-6 hours before freezing function and perform a faster cooling.
Bring hot meals to the room temperature before placing them in the freezer com- partment.
Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to a size to be con- sumed, and frozen in separate packages.
It is recommended to pack the foods be- fore placing them in the freezer.
In order to prevent expiration of storage time, write the freezing date, time and name of the product on the package ac- cording to the storage times of different foods.
Consume the foods you have defrosted quickly. Defrosted foods cannot be frozen again unless they are cooked. It is not safe to consume the refrozen fresh foods without cooking after they are defrosted.
As you freeze fresh foods, do not bring them in contact with already frozen foods. Otherwise, frozen foods will be defrosted.
Storing The Foods, Which Are Sold Frozen Always follow the instructions of the pro-
ducer in relation to the time during which you are required to store your foods. Do not excess the time specified in these in- structions!
EN / 19
In order to protect the quality of the food, keep the time interval between purchasing transaction and storing as short as pos- sible.
Buy the frozen food which are stored at 18 C or lower temperatures.
Avoid buying foods whose packages are covered with ice etc. This means that the product could be partially defrosted and refrozen. Temperature impacts the quality of the food.
Do not excess the storing time recommen- ded by the food producer. Remove only the food as much as you need from the freezer.
Except the cases where extreme circum- stances are available in the environment, if your product (on the recommended set values table) is set to the specified set val- ues, the food keep their freshness for a longer time both in the fresh product com- partment and freezer compartment.
If fresh food compartment is set to a lower temperature, fresh fruits and vegetables may be partially frozen.
Freezer Details As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4,5 kg of food items at -18C or lower temperatures at 25C room temperature in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume. Food products can only be preserved for ex- tended periods at or below temperature of -18C . You can keep the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer at or below temperatures of -18C). The food products to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting. Boil the vegetables and filter the water to ex- tend the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer. Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and similar food items should not be frozen. In case these foods are frozen, only nutritional values
and eating qualities will be negatively af- fected. A rotting threatening human health is not in question.
Placing The Food Freezer compartment shelves:Different frozen food like meat, fish, ice cream, veget- ables etc. Cooler compartment shelves:Food items inside pots, capped plate and capped cases, eggs (in capped case) Cooler compartment door shelves :Small and packaged food or beverages Crisper:Vegetables and fruits Fresh food compartment:Delicatessen (breakfast food, meat products to be con- sumed in short notice)
7.3 Crisper Technologies
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 pre- serve their vitamin content.
VitaminZone Fruits and vegetables stored in crispers illu- minated with theVitaminZone technology preserve their vitamins for a longer time thanks to the blue, green, red lights and dark cycles, which simulate a day cycle. When the door of your refrigerator is opened during the dark period of theVitaminZone technology, your refrigerator shall sense this automatically and illuminate the crisper with one of the blue, green or red lights respect- ively 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.
7.4 Dairy Products Cold Storage Area

meat, chicken or fish to be consumed quickly. It is not suitable to store fruits and vegetables in this drawer.
7.5 Door Open Alert
An audible alert will be heard if the product's door remains open for 1 minute. The audible alert will stop when you close the cabinet door or press any button on the display (if available).
7.6 Replacing the Illumination Lamp
Call the Authorized Service when the Bulb/ LED used for lighting in your refrigerator will be replaced. Lamp(s) used in this appliance cannot be used for house lighting. Intended use of this lamp is to help the user place food into the refrigerator / freezer safely and comfortably.
7.7 AeroFresh
It is an air distribution system that provides homogeneous temperature distribution. With the air circulation, the homogeneous temper- ature distribution is ensured in the fresh food storage compartment, and the temperature fluctuations are kept at low levels. No direct air blowing over the food is realized and this helps to reduce moisture loss. It preserves the freshness of the food stored in the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator. In this way, your food is stored at more stable tem- peratures and the contact with air is re- duced. The drying and shrinking of foods by losing moisture is prevented and freshness is provided for a longer time.
7.8 Using the Water Dispenser
The first few glasses of water taken from the fountain will normally be warm.
If you have not used the water dis- penser for a long time, dispose of the first few glasses of water to get clean water.
1. Press on the arm of the water dispenser with your glass. It would be easier to press on the arm with your hand if you are using a soft plastic glass.
2. Release the arm after filling your glass with water as you desire.
The amount of water flow from the fountain depends on the pressure you apply on the arm. Release the pressure on the arm slightly as the water level in your glass/container is increased to prevent overflow. Water shall drip if you press the arm slightly; this is normal and it is not a malfunction.
Filling the water tank of the water dis- penser 1. Open the lid of the water tank as shown
in the figure. Fill in pure and clean drink- ing water. Close the lid.

2. Hold both sides of the water tank and remove at 45 angle.
3. Remove and clean the water tank lid.
EN / 22
Do not fill the water tank with fruit juice, fizzy beverages, alcoholic beverages or any other liquids in- compatible for use in the water dis- penser. Using such liquids will cause malfunction and irreparable damage in the water dispenser. Using the fountain in this way is not within the scope of warranty. Certain chemic- als and additives in such beverages / liquids may cause material damage to the water tank.
Use clean drinking water only.
NOTICE Do not wash the components of the water tank and water dispenser in the dishwasher.
